Oral-B Pro Battery Toothbrush, 2 Batteries Included

Product Information

In all honesty, for many of us we don’t need this because we are often at home and the charging stand is the natural place to leave the brush when not in use, thus the battery is constantly topped up. It has a rounded shape although not perfectly cylindrical, it is a little deeper than it is wide, but it does feel relatively slim in hand. It does the job it needs to do fairly well and considering what you get for the price it is without doubt a good option for many people.

Whilst it is by no means essential, a lower powered mode would be nice to have. This is where the Pro 3 3500 from Oral-B comes in. It has this second mode which is a little less intense. This is particularly nice for first time users to use as it helps get you more used to the power of the electric toothbrush, but from time to time even experienced users might enjoy the slightly more gentle brushing. By working with a variety of trusted Range Plus Partners, we’re able to offer our customers a wider selection of products. Each brush head should be replaced every 3 months on average, sooner if the bristles are showing obvious signs of wear. I don’t have the Pro 1 680 to hand. I do have a Pro 600, which like the 680 has a pressure sensor that is not visible.With a regular clean, there is no particular reason or cause for concern in regards to the durability of this particular model. When charging the battery charging icon flashes green and it will stop flashing and go out when the brush is fully charged. As the brush is powered on, the built-in timer and pacer are activated. The purpose of this is you help you and me brush for the recommended 2 minutes and do so evenly.

I have used and handled many electric toothbrushes, a large number of which have been produced by Oral-B. Above and below this power button are contours in the rubber that drive the eye and the finger/thumb to it. The case is a rounded rectangle shape, hinged on the left side like a book, with a clip on the right side to secure the case closed. Having handled & tested hundreds of products there really is very little he does not know about them. This is the only mode/function button. It turns the brush on and off. It doesn’t change the cleaning modes, because there is only the 1 mode.The Pro 1 680 has just 1 cleaning mode. Called Daily Clean, this is the standard mode found on all Oral-B brushes. Power up to a better clean with the Oral-B Pro Battery battery-powered toothbrush. Your teeth and gums will feel pampered because you are removing more plaque than a regular manual toothbrush each time you brush. Unlike some toothbrushes, Oral-B does not automatically turn itself off after the 2 minute cleaning cycle is complete. You will need to do this. The brush head supplied will depend on the variant selected, but it is one of a number of different brush head styles available from Oral-B. The Pro 1 680’s handle is water resistant. This means a rinse under the tap, or even used in the shower should be fine. Just make sure you don’t fully immerse the brush in water.

I really like the clean the brush offers, I have little in the way of complaint here. My teeth and gums felt clean after every use.You should imagine your mouth broken up into 4 sections. Upper right, upper left, lower right and lower left. The idea is that you spend 30 seconds cleaning each section. The pacer helps you keep an even brushing time on these 4 sections. Together these add up to the 2 minute total. At the 30 second intervals, the brush will provide an audible warning via a slight pause in the brush motor. This is your cue to change from one quadrant to another. Once the 2 minutes are up 3 brief pauses in the brush motor will be heard and felt. This is your cue that the clean is over. Here at Electric Teeth to try and give a benchmark for comparison, we like to price the brush over a 3 year period.

My hand’s on time achieved a maximum of 9 days or 18 brushing sessions of use. This is based on brushing twice a day for 2 minutes each time. Although I managed 9, by day 8 the motor was slowing, the battery indicator flashing and really it needed charging. The Pro 680 can remove more plaque than a manual toothbrush. First time users will be impressed with the clean but may find it a bit powerful. You will get used to it after a few days. Then again I am not all that surprised, because as far as I am aware, the Pro 1 680 has the same battery as the original Pro 680 and the Pro 600 brushes, which for as long as I can remember have been advertised with a 1 week battery life. It does not quite have the premium look and feel of some Sonicare toothbrush models, but the overall shape and form factor is very practical, tried, tested and cost effective.AA BATTERIES MAY HAVE DIFFERENT VOLTAGES. DO NOT USE ANY BATTERY WITH LABELLED VOLTAGE OVER 1.5V OR DAMAGED BATTERY AS THIS MAY CAUSE DEVICE OVERHEATING. Whilst there is nothing particularly bad with an NiMH battery, Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) tends to be more common and popular now. There is no visible pressure sensor. This means no red light on the handle that lights up to tell you it has been activated. Product contains batteries and/or recyclable electric waste. For environment protection do not dispose in household waste, but for recycling take to electric waste collection points provided in your country. When power is low the battery status icon on the front of the brush handle will flash and you will likely feel the decrease in brush power.
