Oral-B Pro 7000 SmartSeries Electric Toothbrush with Bluetooth Connectivity, Black (Packaging May Vary)

I had a old Oral B professional x nearly 10 years one speed only. It works still but is much slower now more likeca manual.Oral B 7000 with either smart clock timer and mode display.Oral b synced well handle with app or timer.Would prefer the mode to display on handle must use timer or ap to know for sure.Did use coupon so 100 dollars.Nice black case prefer no usb on a case where water is present.8000v9000 have usbDo not want to suspend smartphone by a suction cup on mirror and detection of postion from other notes is less than accurate per other users .Save 38 dollars get the 7000.Save 10 more with 6000 .Rinse after use irrigate brush head and dry is water proof others said about corrosion my 10 year old Oral B is still working just weak now very weak so I replaced the 50 dollar unit over 10 years.This is made in the USA .Hope this helps someone as a first impression.Second impression1. More advice on sync between handle, smart clock, and use of application instead of clock.2. Cycle between 6 modes in smart clock3. Did not use smartphone instead of smart clock but probably the same but in a wet environment?4. Really 6 modes is 6 speeds ironicaly my old 10 year was in sensitive mode or massage mode but also stop mode so replaced good service 5 dollars per year of use. Good investment at age 67 have 31 healthy teeth.5. Consider how much a cleaning cost this is the cost of one dental DDS appointment for a healthy mouth which extends to other infections in your body risk in heart disease if neglected.6. Not really that loud consider the oscillate and vibration needed.7. Handle easy to clean with travel case too.made in Germany correction.8. I am not returning but process seems long original box etc but within 60 days .9. Choose based on number of speeds or modes needed to be simple.10. Bluetooth does add value.11. Retricting or shut down on mode program is over the top i just want to cycle between modes and not shut down when i enroll in a program.12. Rare for red light to activate let handle do the work light touch only spinning and vibrating enough on its own.13. Sync issues use mode to sync but usually remove from charger and bluetooth sync s be sure your BT is on first in smartphone then follow prompts on phone but start brushing is a verbal prompt do not press is automatically connected just wait for handle to sync with smartphone at top..Complex just brushing but documents time and your sequence with flossing and mouthwash.7000 is a good balance bottom line cleans well cycle thru all 6 modes in 3 minutes feel dental refreshing floss rinse Healthy gums and teeth .Perhaps less models better PG Braun price points more FAQ price range from 89 to 200 plus mine was over100 with coupons but not the Genius level . Handles are different but a better idea to have 6 modes on handle but smart guide clock has the cycle pictured.After nearly a week, cleaner healthier direction. Smart guide clock stops in tongue mode if you reach the programed time of 2 min regular clean then goes back to reset diamond clean c + is set for 3 minutes. Just data accuracy on timing per mode needed but expect if you cycle thru 6 modes which I need with gum recession per DDS do not spend 45 sec per quadrant keep moving no parking in quadrant zone so not programmed to count this way no setting to be elected just the order of 6 modes . 7000 is last years model perhaps genesis has this along with modes all pictured on handle. 100 dollars was my limit.PG can produce a TB handle that is the same for all models include lithium battery too.Overall a good buy for better dental health. If i had a powerful brush like this 50 years ago would not have the fillings, root canals , receding gums, extractions , etc saved a lot on dental care . Today dental health corelates with other health risks cardiac , nutrition , digestion etc Buy 6000, 7000, or Genesis.I am a fan for oral b products. I do not work for PG a health care professional .Good reliable product .

To begin with, I have owned a Braun electric toothbrush for many years. I have one of their older rotating head models that still works well. In other words, I have experience with these toothbrushes. I also feel that, by far, you get a better clean using a rotating brush over a standard one. I am a little over 50 years of age. In my lifetime, I have only had one cavity. I take great pride in maintaining proper dental hygiene. I believe anyone can be cavity-free if they floss regularly and brush their teeth and gums twice a day for at least two minutes.What I liked about the older Braun electric toothbrush was that I could actually time my brushings to the recommended 2 minutes. Start the holder, and at the two minute mark, the brush heads would make a funny motion to indicate that your two-minute mark has occurred.This new 7000 SmartSeries toothbrush takes that experience to a whole new level.The best thing about this expensive toothbrush is that it comes with a portable gauge with adhesive holder that you tack on to your bathroom wall near your sink. It actually pairs with the toothbrush via bluetooth. When you turn the toothbrush on, the indicator starts counting towards your 2-minute goal. I like this, because without the indicator on the older brush, I never knew how far into my routine I was. An indicator on the gauge not only counts your brush time, but also tells you if you are brushing too hard. If you are brushing too hard, a sad face will appear on the indicator. I was surprised how often this happened -- and it showed me, for the first time, that I was not brushing properly.The only thing I wasn't too crazy about was that every 30 seconds, the toothbrush heads would slow down for a split second, to indicate another 30 second cycle had just passed. I don't think it was necessary for Braun to implement this feature. It's not a deal breaker, certainly -- but I do agree with other Amazon reviewers that it can be annoying.At first, the thought of having a phone app for brushing your teeth seemed ludicrous. However, after using the included gauge --- and becoming dependent on it --- I can see how an app would be perfect when traveling. Think about it.....you can leave the gauge at home and use the mobile app instead to show you your progress and indicate when you are not brushing correctly.Now to debunk some prior review myths....Yes, it is true, it takes a full 24 hours to initially charge this toothbrush. That's kind of crazy. However, I suppose no big deal. Some have said that the charging light is overly bright to the fact that it's almost like having a night light in their bathroom. This is not true. Yes, it has a blinking blue charging light, but in total darkness, it did not become bright enough to be distracting.Yes, it's a little noisy when being used. However, not the point where you are going to wake up everyone in the house. If you are like me and keep the bathroom door closed, nobody is going to be awakened by this toothbrush.The 7000 series is a bit larger and heavier than the older Braun toothbrushes. However, it does seem to be more powerful. I also feel a better clean, overall, using this series over the older model.It comes with, I believe, 3 brush heads. A registration coupon inside offers a $3 savings on replacement heads plus an additional $7 off coupon when you register online.There is a beautiful travel case included. I agree with one reviewer that the travel case might be better if it had air vents. However, if you thoroughly dry your toothbrush prior to putting it in the case, I don't see any problems.Braun has moved from the fully upright charging stand to a flat dock. I like this design. It includes a covered area to store toothbrush heads for members of your family.With the included Amazon clip coupon, I ended up paying about $120 for this toothbrush. It's pricey...yes...but once you start using it with the included gauge, you will look forward to using it every morning.
