I haven’t had an oral b fail me yet (although I’ve only owned one). In the last 5y I bought a kids oral B which was cheaper (£20) than the £50 adults brush at the time just to try it out. My dentist had recommended it because I was using a manual brush at the time, but I didn’t want to “splash out” on a brush I might hate. Anyway the only difference was that it came with frozen branding on the box that peeled off. Looks identical to my partners’ “adult” oral b and was more than half the price. They have continued to function the same for the past few years so I guess I’m pro oral b, especially if you can’t get them at a discount at your local bargain store or supermarket. I buy generic heads bulk online that work out cheaper than a new toothbrush. Im not sure what the kids theme will be (might still be frozen) but I recommend getting the kids one for the value factor. Even if it broke tomorrow it’s lasted me longer than other toothbrushes. Hope that helps.

Because you have big teeth?? this is why I hate dentists and healthcare professionals in general. They make statements with no backing just bc they have a title. An electric toothbrush head is small. Use the brush that will get you to want to brush more consistently. Get a cool Spider-Man one.
Oral-B Kids, skip the app. Simpler, cheaper, does the job. Kids don't need Bluetooth to brush teeth, they need a brush that's not scary loud
Dunno bout the gimmicks. But I been using the cheap $30 oral B on my kid since she was 2. She doesn't brush her own teeth yet though (special needs), but shes has no cavities yet (shes 4). I only rec the oral b bc dentists also use the round brush over a longbrush, and it's for a reason.
I’ve never had an oral-b battery last more than 3 years. PITA to replace the battery. I still buy them even though they are designed to fail… :( Edit: the brushes my family of 3 have used from oral b all with the same lack of longevity are Pro1000, Pro1500, oral b kids. Have not tried the other models.
I’ve replaced 3 batteries I can remember. Lithium ion replacements that performed way better than the originals. Got them on eBay. Used a YouTube video to know how to take it apart and solder the contacts etc. I’d say it’s entry level. Not even close to the skill needed for iPhone battery replacement. Couple take aways from my experience. Oral b could very easily make the battery simple for anyone to replace but they choose not too. Designed obsolescence. The amount of gunk inside the case when I’ve worked on them is unacceptable. They are not sealed well in my experience and the design has not been improved at all in the last decade. The big change was ni cad to lithium. There isn’t a better brushing action on the market that I’ve used. So I keep buying a not BIFL product. Which is a bummer. Assuming the brush is used 2x a day, everyday, for the full amount of time. That is pretty impressive. After one battery replacement I’m done. At that point the handles rubber or something else is disintegrating.
I find these to be completely useless. They only make noise. They don’t use the same system that oral B or sonicare (which each use different mechanics) but these do absolutely nothing. They’re just more plastic, batteries and waste than a manual toothbrush. I got my 8 year old the oral B kids electric that’s about $50. But you can change the heads and it’s chargeable. Although I do have the waste of the heads but atleast you can use the main body piece for years. These ones are just throw aways that do nothing an electric brush should do 😢 they’re such a waste! I’d rather recommend the wooden manual toothbrushes over these things. Chargeable, rechargeable head pieces are best that actually do oscillating rotation. But I understand not wanting to be wasteful with changeable heads
