Oral-B - Pro 7000 SmartSeries Electric Toothbrush (VIPRB-D36.535.6X)

So fun story with Oral-B. I bought my first one in 2003 and it was still functioning as of 2018 although the battery was getting weak and it would die right at 2 minutes, so I decided to upgrade. I bought the Pro-7000 SmartSeries which at the time was the top of the line model. It didn't feel any different from my old one. It was the same size, shape and weight. Except it would pulse every 30 seconds, and at 2 minutes it pulsed differently to let you know you have brushed for a full 2 minutes. It had Bluetooth integration for you phone which I used once, and a little digital clock that came with it that would display how long and how hard you are brushing your teeth. In my new house I sometimes either wake up or go to bed while my wife is sleeping, so I decided to get another Oral-B for my office. This time I went with the most basic model, the Pro-1000. I was surprised to realize, this one was actually far more comfortable to hold as it's thinner and lighter and felt like it brushed more thoroughly too. I ended up using this one like 70% of the time I brush my teeth, while I used the 7000 only 30%. Now in 2025 my 7000 abruptly stopped working. I have tossed it and replaced it with a 5000. The 5000 feels like it brushes twice as fast as the 7000 or the 1000. It's not quite as thin or light as the 1000 but it's closer to that than the 7000 or my original one. I don't know if the 5000 will be as reliable as the 1000s but when it comes to Oral-B, the more expensive ones are often actually worse than the cheaper ones.

I’ve used a number of Oral B smart brushes over the last 15 years and haven’t had any issue. The only problem I’ve had is the newest line, the battery is not holding much of a charge anymore. But this isn’t really a brush issue, it’s a battery. And you can replace them.

ORAL B Pro Cross Action ☺️

Been using an oral B braun for like 6 years now(same one lol) replacement heads from Amazon. We get like a 16 pack that lasts for most of if not the whole year.

I charge my electric toothbrush only when it runs low on battery, and I have had it for over 10 years. It's an oral B braun

I am a practicing general dentist and have used both. I used the oral b professional for many years before switching to the io. Both brushed well, but the io's battery was not very good. I then switched to the Philip sonicare and have been happy with it. I got the least expensive one I could, so I could see if I like it. I do and have continued to use it. To summarize, I would recommend either of those brands, just be careful with the io.

I can't deinfluence you. Also recommended by dentists. But not just any electric toothbrush. Wag yung mga replaceable batteries. Only rechargeable Buy the "Oscillating" ones. Not just any electric.

Oral B. But Xiaomi is a good brand also. Kahit yung water flossing.

I've had the oral B rotating ones for ages but ended up switching to Philips sonicare, a million times better in all aspects for me. It cleans much better throughout, no gum damage, quicker and the heads last longer. They are more expensive to replace, but they are worth it in the long term with less replacements needed. There are alternative heads on Amazon that are cheaper, some are good but others can destroy your gums, so it's a hit and miss if you take the cheaper replacement option. I believe even the basic models of sonicare have pressure monitoring, if you press it too hard it will give you a warning.

I agree the gimmicks are annoying, but a rotating brush is leagues better than simply vibrating. Oral-b is the only toothbrush I’ve found that rotated and functions nearly as well as the polisher the dentist uses.

Do you guys find it cleans well? Looking at version 2.0. I never tried a sonic toothbrush but I've read some people find it too gentle. I'm using an oral b rotating and I don't enjoy the experience (big and bulky, rubber wears off, gets dirty, very noisy) but leaves my clean well cleaned
