About this deal

To be fair it does a good job of cleaning the teeth, but I would encourage you to seriously consider the Oral-B Pro 3 3500 instead. After spending 12 years in consumer technology, it was in 2014 that he focused his attention on dental health, having experienced first-hand the challenge of choosing a new toothbrush. But, it comes down to versatility. Not all of us have a power outlet in our bathroom for frequent recharging. If you go away on holiday for a week or 2, you don’t really want to have to take the charging stand or worry that your brush will run out of power. Unlike other Oral-B brushes, the pressure sensor is not visible on the handle. Nor is it audible. This means that if you apply too much pressure as you brush, you don’t know about it. Technically the sound and brushing sensation do change when the sensor is active, but you have to be paying attention to notice, it’s easy to miss or ignore.

Few of us actually need our brush to last all that long. It’s unlikely to be a major inconvenience if we have to recharge. In fact, many just leave their brush on the stand when not in use, this is fine. Oral-B has for many years built pressure sensors into their toothbrushes and the Pro 1 is no exception, but the configuration here isn’t optimum. However, there are also variants that include a basic, but perfectly functional travel case that holds the handle and up to 2 brush heads. With regards to the Oral-B 1 series specifically; it has limited box contents which reduces its weight during transportation compared to others that come with more items. The box could be made a bit smaller, saving space and resources. Positively, it is all paper based and does not have a polystyrene inner tray like Oral-B have used in the past.I don’t think whitening does all that much. Yes, it uses the power of the brush motor differently, but truth be told the cleaning results over all 3 modes are comparable if you master your brushing technique. Don’t think you are going to use whitening mode and any dull yellow teeth will shine like a diamond within a few days. At best it’s going to lift some external stains on the tooth surface, but any mode can do this. It isn’t a deal breaker by any means, but it does produce a louder and more mechanical sound than the humming noise that a quiet sonic toothbrush produces. Most sonic toothbrushes register at 60-70dB. Both handles have a newer design compared to older models from Oral-B, so there isn’t quite the same proven history and reliability with this particular brush. If your toothbrush of choice is currently a manual brush you will really see and feel the difference should you switch.

However, in this instance, it appears only to confuse matters because the Pro 1 750 is almost identical to other similarly named models that Oral-B sells via other retailers. For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned. Its brush heads are made from petroleum-based plastic, which uses up the planet’s finite resources compared to using plant-based plastics. White in colour with blue leaf pattern on the case supplied with white gripped handle (exceptions may apply) Jon is a leading voice on electric toothbrushes and has been quoted by mainstream media publications for his opinions and expertise.The Oral-B Pro 1 Series is a good electric toothbrush with most of the dentist-recommended features at a reasonable price. You can learn more in my comparison of the Pro 600, 650, 800 and 750 that goes into more detail about the differences and similarities. Unlike more affordable alternatives, the Pro 1 does have a battery notification LED on the handle. It will flash red when the power is running out. A full recharge takes up to 12 hours. The battery LED will flash green whilst charging, before turning off once complete.
