Excellent Product..

*** Update October 5th 2020 Well over two years later and the brush is still going strong... excellent brush with excellent battery life my teeth and gums have never been more healthy.... 5 star toothbrush! IMHO this is the best model to buy. It has regular mode and sensitive mode which is really all you need. The higher end models have more modes but they really don’t amount to much. This brush has a lithium ion battery... the pro 1000 does not. I charged this toothbrush when I first received it and it has lasted 13 days of sometimes 3 times a day brushing... sometimes longer than the recommended 2 minutes as well. I estimate that’s an almost 60 minute runtime! Do yourself a favor and buy this brush and leave the bells and whistles of the higher end models to those who have money to throw away.

The Pro 1500 is everything I hoped for.

I bought this as the end result of being a long-time user of disposable

Great brush! Lets you know when you are brushing too hard and the small charging base is a nice size!!!!!!

I've had quite a few electric toothbrushes - but I have to say, this one is by far the best one I've tried. I've been using it for only a week, but it makes my teeth feel soooo clean. And to think, I've been avoiding getting this kind of brush because I thought how could one little round brush clean better than the larger brushes? Well, it does!!!!! I have been having issues with my gums receding a bit on my back molars and my dentist suggested I get an Oral-B because the other brushes might be doing more harm than good. Plus, this one has the pressure sensor, so it tells you if you are brushing to hard. Sure enough I had been. Can't say enough good things about this brush. Another feature I like is the small charging base. Some of the more expensive Oral-B brushes come with a much wider base that in my opinion would take up too much counter space. A toothbrush isn't the most glamorous thing I want sitting on my counter in the first place - so the more discreet the better.

Summarized reason on why to buy this model vs it's successors

Why I chose this model: The Pro 1500 series comes with all the features I wanted. Minus the unnecessary smart tools its successors are equipped with this model is built with both the 40,000 (regular clean mode) - 20,000 (gentle clean mode) pulsation per minute, it displays a red light when the user is applying a bit too much force on the enamel, a built-in 2 minute timer will vibrate the toothbrush to inform you every 30 seconds when to move on to the next quadrant of the teeth, and finally the better rechargerable lithium-ion battery it comes with. It's important to mention the battery, because some other successors are not equipped with this 2 week lasting battery in just 1 charge. How it feels: It vibrates and pulsate. Amazing. I brushed my teeth with it last night and woke up feeling like "whoa." I felt as if I did not have to brush again. I felt so good. So far I love this product and will never go back to regular manual brushing again. My friend on the other hand felt that it was too powerful for her even on the gentler side. I did not need to lessen it's regular clean mode. I recommend this product. My only curiosity is how long will it last until it breaks down from overuse.

Best purchase ever!

My dentist recommended this toothbrush and he was right. Since using it my gums are healthier, I've lost 10 pounds, my dog came back, and my pecker grew 2 inches. I will never go back to a manual tooth brush again Thanks Oral B!

Want clean teeth & don't need a billion bells & whistles on your toothbrush?

I was looking for an electric toothbrush that was good at cleaning teeth. I didn't want all the bells & whistles. Some folks must want to use a cell phone to chart their tooth brushing but... really? (bluetooth? i want cleantooth!) There are so many models of electric toothbrushes to choose from by each of the major brands. It felt more complex than looking at car models without being able to test drive them! I decided on Oral-B instead of Phillips Sonicare largley because of the shape & size of the brush head. I called the toll-free number for Oral-B to ask, "Do you have a model that has a sensitive setting & doesn't have bluetooth? I don't need all the 'extras'." They suggested this model which I hadn't found on my own (at the time it wasn't showing on their website) & I'm happy they did. I've been using it for a year now without any problems other than the color that delineates the on/off button is starting to wear off. I've traveled with it sans the charging base for up to 7 days & it's kept it's charge just fine (normally I keep it on the charging base all the time but when I'm using it to brush my teeth). I don't find it to be as loud as some people report & it doesn't wake my sleeping partner when I use it in our en suite bathroom. Want an electric toothbrush that's easy to use & will result in clean teeth & don't feel the need for all the extras? I recommend this one!

Great=who needs more than this?

This is great. I put the toothpaste on it. I smear it around my teeth (no water) I turn it on the second click, for gentle mode. I brush 1/4 of my mouth at a time until it gives me a quick little 2 shudders, then I move to the next 1/4. At the end it shudders 3 times and I know I'm done. Unsnap the brush head and rinse it well. There's usually enough left over wetness in it for the next time your brush without having water running onto your hand. It holds the charge quite well. It has a variety of brush tops to suit your needs (separate purchase) It comes with 2 heads and the charging platform. Does NOT come with any storage compartment for the brush heads. I leave mine in a small plastic holder with my toothpaste. It really leaves your teeth with that slick smooth just got em cleaned at the dentist feeling.

Cleans my teeth better than Sonicare

Well, I had decided when our next Sonicare DiamondClean toothbrush died, we would try something else given sub-par quality for the premium price they charge. This was 8+ Sonicare brush that died on us over the years, and Phillips decline to warranty replace it and I declined their 20% coupon in favor of switching to a different brand and never return. Anyways, picked up an Oral-B at Wallmart, and another at Amazon when we liked the performance of the first brush. Yes, Oral-B makes more noisy than Sonicare but other than different I don't think it really matters. No, Oral-B brush doesn't spray toothpaste all over the place if you accidentally remove the brush from your mouth. Yes, Oral-B seems to do a better job cleaning my teeth than Sonicare. The only two things I would change is switching to an universal charger suitable for travel. I simply don't want all the features on their travel model, and would have sell it at a discount to this brush instead of a large premium for me to consider it. The other thing would be to warn when battery gets low but continue to operate at full speed. As far as I can tell you, it does to half speed on low battery, with no advance notice. Customer service really don't want to talk to you, at least, I didn't find a way to navigate to a live person other than ignoring the voice prompts and lean heavily on the "0".

Whoa, powerful.

I have the Oral B 5000 toothbrush and my wife wanted a second brush, so I bought the 1500 model, which uses the same charging base. While my 5000 is a few years old, the 1500 is WAY more powerful, it's night and day difference. -- I don't understand exactly why, but my old 5000 is "vibrating" at a much slower speed than the new 1500. Now I think I'll need to replace the 5000 with another 1500.

The perfect one for me

When my old electric toothbrush would no longer hold a charge for even one brushing, I began the process of shopping for a new one, which for me means reading about umpteen different models. This is the one I settled on, and I love it! There is nothing I would change about it. In fact, the battery life is much better than I expected. I also really like the cross action brush head but decided I should use a softer bristle ... and all previous brush heads fit on this model. I like the red warning light that flashes if you bear down too hard, and the special pulsing to tell you when it’s time to move on to the next quadrant of your mouth. There is a longer pulsing letting you know when two minutes is up. I must admit that I don’t even know if it has Bluetooth connectivity because that was of no interest to me when selecting a new toothbrush. But everything about this one is perfect for me.
