Smart 5000 Rechargeable Electric Powered Toothbrush, Black with Travel Case and Bluetooth - Visible Pressure Sensor to Protect Gums - 5 Cleaning Modes - 2 Minute Timer

This is the second Oral-B powered toothbrush that I've owned, and I'm even happier with it than I was with my first one (which I also really liked). The most important aspect of a toothbrush is how it performs. For my wife and I, we love how fresh and clean our teeth feel after brushing with it. It has several different brushing mode to suit your tastes: 1) a higher power, more vigorous brushing mode 2) a slightly lower power mode, if you are slightly overwhelmed with the full power mode (this is especially helpful for younger kids using the brush) 3) a pulse mode that alternates between a higher and slower spin/vibrate action that is even more gentle One of the handiest features of a smart electric brush like this is that it has a built in timer to help you to know if you've brushed enough to really clean your teeth. You can set it for 2:00 or 3:00. This is, of course, just a guideline, for how much one should brush to clean their teeth thoroughly, but it is helpful. The whole body of the brush pulses after each successive 25% has been completed. I use this to clean my quadrants (lower left, lower right, upper left, upper right) so I can be a bit more confident that I've given equal time to all my teeth. On another note, the device is well built. I wouldn't hazard to drop it intentionally, but if reasonably cared for it should provide years of service. My last Oral-B brush lasted 5 years or so before the rechargeable battery started to give out (which is expected). I'm sure this one will last at least as long. Speaking of batteries, this brush has a very sleek wireless charging system. No exposed contacts or ports to cover - just set it on its base and it does the job. Include in the package was a nice, low profile base with an attached caddy for up to four brush heads (if you are sharing the brush with family or significant others). It also comes with a plastic shell caddy for short trips. I found I could pretty comfortably use the brush for 3-5 days while traveling without requiring the charing base, though your milage may vary. Just a note about the caddy. My last brush came with the same plastic caddy. The hinge of the caddy eventually broke but the two halves of the shell still snapped together effectively enough that it was still useable/useful. An annoyance to be sure, but not a major problem. This unit also can communicate with an app on your smartphone that can provide you with brushing insights and remind you when to change your brush. As of this writing, the software is only useful if only one person is using the brush as it doesn't currently have the notion of distinct users - everyone's brushings are evaluated together. As a techie, I would normally love something like this, but so far I have not been terribly motivated to open the app while I'm near my toothbrush so the brushing history can sync, etc. So, while the smartphone/app integration is not currently a major selling point, the really important functionality and quality of the product is there.

So I unboxed this brand new , beautifully made tooth brush. It comes with perfect instructions and pictures to better understand this product. The toothbrush is made beautifully and the packaging is superb! Everything is played out for one to get the best experience possible with this brand. I am charging the toothbrush as I write this review. It will take about 6-12 hours for the full charge. It comes with beautiful charger, a base that has an extension hanger for at least 4 brush heads, a carry case for traveling and the actual tooth brush handle that has a rubber grip. This smart 5000 series is Bluetooth compatible to focus more on your daily routine. There are 5 modes which is awesome and one cross action brush. You can buy any additional brushes (that target different types of cleaning) if needed to meet your brushing needs. The device is loud as mentioned in the reviews but I will not let that overpower the great cleaning I will get once I use it! A while ago I had ordered another Oral B toothbrush that I returned because I read reviews stating it was very loud, only to discover my friend and sister had the same toothbrush and was loving it because of its cleaning action. I won’t make that mistake again. I will be giving an update after the tooth brush is fully charged and I put it to use!! Until then , it is a beautiful, well made, extremely excellent quality electric toothbrush!💕 Update: After charging the toothbrush, I discovered that the handle shaft did not allow the oscillator mechanism to function properly. There was very powerful vibration but no oscillation. Also, while the brush pauses to do the next quadrant in your mouth , it make a strange hesitant grinding noise. The battery drains very fast too and takes a while to charge again. The tooth brush is beautiful but there seems to be some issues with the motor . As always, it could just be this particular toothbrush that has a defect but not the brand or model. I am glad I gave it a fair chance but unfortunately this toothbrush is not like the description.

I won't rehash what others have already said, this is a great toothbrush, you won't be sorry buying it. What I will do is point out things that aren't mentioned much, but that were important to me. 1) There's little to no difference between this model and higher priced ones, even 2x the price - by 'little' difference, I mean the higher price gets you more features in the app and another 'brushing mode' or two, like pulsating or an additional 'gentle mode'. By 'no difference', I mean inside-hardware and capability-wise, they're actually all the same. Spend more if app features are important to you, save your money if they're not. 2) This model has no indication which of the 5 brushing modes you're on - Oral-B decided to charge an extra Benjamin for that feature on the next model up, I think it's the Smart Pro Limited or Smart Pro 6000, which has a light-up display that lights up icons when you switch modes; that's really all the higher price gets you. You can either count the modes yourself and save some money, or just holding the mode switch button automatically resets it to the first mode if you forget. 3) The bluetooth comes automatically on, but you can turn it off anytime by just holding both the power button and the mode switch button for 3 seconds. The bluetooth icon will flash, and then turn off. It'll stay off forever, or until you repeat that action, then it'll flash and stay on. Very simple, but good to know if you don't care about the app and want to save battery 4) I looove that this brush doesn't actually stop brushing when it hits the 30 second mark. I've always hated how my last brush, the discontinued 4000 Pro model, would just stop and beep - very annoying since I brush at my own pace. It was especially annoying when I was brushing the back of my tongue and the abrupt interruption always almost caused me to gag; this one just beeps and slows down for half a second - it's actually hard to notice if you're not looking for it - which is a huge plus for me. I can finally brush how I want and not forced to pause because I was out of sync with the timer All in all, I'm very pleased with this model, really no regrets, and hope it lasts for years to come.

Liked most of the features of the toothbrush. Was able to get it at a very reasonable price, $79.99, so it was worth purchasing this version. However if you could not get it at a reasonable price, I would skip the Bluetooth functionality and purchase one that is a bit more reasonable in price. The good features include the 5 different modes you can select (Daily Clean, Gum Care, Sensitive, Whitening and Deep Clean), the indicator light if you press too hard, the fact it stays charged for 10 days (have not tested this yet), the nice charger, the ability to program the brush through the app, and the travel case. The feature I am still debating on is the Bluetooth capability. The toothbrush connected seamlessly with my phone, Galaxy 4S, utilizing the Oral-B app. However the app has a very limited usefulness. The app gives you a count-up or count-down timer (selectable) as well as a graphic of your teeth quadrants while brushing. You can easily tell when it is time to move to the next quadrant by watching the app. However the toothbrush itself gives you haptic feedback (pulses) when it is time to move to the next quadrant as well. The app tells you if you are pressing the brush too hard, but the brush also lights up red to tell you that you are pressing too hard. App keeps track of how long you brushed your teeth. So unless you want to know how long you brushed your teeth for a week ago, you can actually care for your teeth without the Bluetooth ever being used with the extra benefit on not getting toothpaste spray on your smart phone! So why am I debating whether the Bluetooth is a good idea? Well the app does give you some flexibility. For instance the app allows you to turn off the haptic feedback and/or the lights on the toothbrush. The app will allow you to remove any or all brushing modes from your toothbrush or rearrange the order that they appear on your brush selection. The app also will keep track of whether it has been 90 days since you have replaced your brush. Finally the app allows you to customize how long you would like to brush in certain areas (i.e., you can add time to each quadrant) so that you can concentrate on that particular quadrant longer if required. These are nice-to-have items, but only require you to turn your app on once when you purchase the toothbrush, make your settings for the brush, and then never turn the app on again. So nice, yes. Worth $100 premium, you choose. Bottom Line: Wonderful brush, nice flexibility on the settings, no real reason to use the Bluetooth unless you desire to change settings.

My dentist has been suggesting an electric toothbrush for years now and I've been hesitant. So this last visit I asked her the true benefits and after all she said I knew it was time. This is the one they promote at my dentists office and was forever grateful as always to be able to get it here at Amazon for a much discounted price. Now for the toothbrush. Honestly, once you go electric you will never go back to manual. The clean feeling you get is amazing. My Pro 5000 came with a "floss action" brush head which I sometimes use but I also purchased a pack of sensitive heads. I have very sensitive teeth and gums and have always used ultra sensitive manual toothbrushes. To be honest it has taken me a while to figure out the best way to use the brush for me. I always brush longer than 2 minutes so the timer is a must to have but I know I am brushing a t least 2 minutes every time. What benefits me the most is the pulsing yellow light when pressing too hard. It blew me away to see that handle flashing yellow with a pressure I thought was gentle. I still find it difficult to maneuver the brush to certain back teeth and part of it is me getting to truly believe the pulsating head will do all the cleaning. I can see people who like modern technology and gadgets liking the blutooth app. For me, I link my brush to it once a week to see how long I brushed. Other than that I don't use it. It also took me time to realize I needed to put the brush into sensitive mode to be as gentle as possible with my teeth. And due to their sensitivity after I brush yes the teeth tingle and feel fresh but they also hurt a little. This concerns me some but I have gotten the brush to not flash yellow, my gums are a healthy pink and look amazing. Also an hour after done brushing that sensitivity goes away. I think it is truly due to any electric action is certainly stronger on my teeth than the ultra sensitive manual brushes I used to use. And now when I floss it is so simple. Can't wait to get the final appraisal when I go back to my dentist in a couple of months. Bottom line my teeth never felt this clean with a manual toothbrush. if you are hesitant to go electric believe me, it is not hype. And this Oral B Pro 5000 has worked awesome for me and I have had it 3 months now.

Excellent product

I bought this in 2015 and it still works great. Battery lasts and everything works. Very happy with this purchase.

I didn’t want one of those crazy expensive io toothbrushes. I just wanted something that would make my teeth feel actually clean. This was it. It’s simple to use, yet packs a punch. The bristles oscillate and pulse at the same time and I had no idea my mouth could feel like this after brushing. It’s a completely different level of clean compared to a manual toothbrush. Like going from washing your car with a bucket to taking it through one of those fancy tunnel washes. It has multiple modes which is nice — there’s even settings for sensitive teeth and tongue cleaning. I mostly stick to one mode but it’s good to have options. There’s Bluetooth connectivity too if you want to track your brushing or whatever, but I don’t bother with that. It comes with a travel case and the battery lasts a while between charges. And I didn’t have to pay $300 for a toothbrush to get a great clean, which was the whole point. Honestly wish I’d made the switch sooner

As escovações se tornam mais tecnicas e voce acaba respeitando o tempo indicado de 2 minutos por escovação, devido ao aplicativo que informa o tempo gasto, sendo quer com a escova normal as vezes voce faz em um tempo reduzido. recomendo. somente ao preco aqui no brasil que e um pouco caro devido aos impostos

This is a whole new level of cleaning capability. Ever since Oral B hit the market there is no better cleaning tool but many people use it so much or incorrectly they add other problems. Time and pressure are important to monitor especially for those who use this multiple times a day. This new technology allows these side effects to be controlled. It is easy to use and the Bluetooth connect allows techies greater insights and fun! It is a bit expensive but lasts for years so a good purchase.

great price for 2 units... battery last longer that my previous oral b
