Oral-B Advance Power Electric Toothbrush, 1 Toothbrush Head With Indicator Bristles, Excess Plaque Remover, Battery Powered With 2 Batteries, Blue/White

The Ral-B Advance Power Electric Toothbrush (with 1 indicator-bristle head) isn’t a flagship model, but it does exactly what it’s meant to do: provide good, reliable brushing performance without the need to haul around a charger. Key points • Convenient for travel/short trips: Battery-powered and lightweight, it’s perfect when you want electric brushing power but don’t want to carry a charging base or cable. • Indicator bristles help: The brush head’s indicator bristles fade as they wear, giving an easy visual cue when it’s time to replace the head. • Performance is solid: It feels noticeably more effective than manual brushing, with a steady, reassuring action. For short breaks away from home, it gets the job done and leaves your teeth feeling clean. • Battery endurance: The power stays consistent over days of use; I haven’t noticed significant drop-off mid-trip. Minor limitations • Not as powerful or feature-rich as mains rechargeable models — but that’s not the point here. Its simplicity is its strength. If you want a dependable secondary electric toothbrush for travel, work trips, or times when you don’t want to lug around a charger, this is a practical and solid choice.

I have never owned an electric toothbrush, I'm not sure why. A few years back I tried an Oral-B disposable electric toothbrush and was blown away. Over time I started to realise that while the disposable ones were convenient and hygenic, I was frustrated that I was being wasteful. So, I turned to Amazon to see what might be available in a similar style. This Oral-B Advance Power toothbrush is an excellent choice for your money it really is. The unit takes two batteries which are inside a waterproof compartment in the handle, so you don't need a charging dock for it. I can't speak to battery life so far as I've only been using mine for three weeks, but the batteries are still going strong. It has a round head that vibrates, which doesn't look that impressive compared to more expensive and fancy-featured models but once it's inside your mouth you will be surprised at how effective it is. It cleans as well as my previous disposable brush, perhaps better because the smaller head allows you to get right in to the small gaps and awkward spaces. I keep mine next to the sink, and the only thing that I was disappointed by was a lack of protective cap or brush shield. I tend to buy the travel caps and place one of those on it during the day just to keep the brush protected from nasty things like flies or being splashed or dropped. This doesn't come with anything like that, and as it's an awkward shape I had to cut my normal travel case with a knife to make it fit as best I could. If that sort of thing is important to you just beware and prepare something as I did. For the price (under £10) this toothbrush seems to be a really excellent little unit, judging by other reviews people say it's reliable, and replacing the heads is easy. You can opt for branded ones or any of the cheaper generic options out there. I imagine, once this one dies I might consider graduating to a slightly more fancy model, but that doesn't seem to be a pressing concern as this Oral-B toothbrush is sturdy, feels nice in the hand and looks well made and protected from water.

These are very handy are inexpensive seeing as they can last a year or longer, the heads are widely available but maybe it's just me because I am finding that the power of these now are not as nippy compared to other one's of the same model purchased over the years. This is despite trying new good quality batteries, don't get me wrong I still find these good but just not as good as previously, and I have never had problems with changing the batteries. As long as you press firmly on both sides of the toothbrush just above the battery cap where indicated at the same time, the battery cap comes off easily, and when you put it back on press the sides once again and you should find it easier. I had trouble recently getting these in the shops as I tried several supermarkets but luckily Amazon had these at a very good price so I was very happy indeed. I have also tried using rechargeable toothbrushes in the past but I always found that before long there was always problems with the built in batteries not charging correctly even though the battery care procedures were followed, so these AA powered toothbrushes are ideal and although not as powerful as I am used to I would still prefer to use this type any day. They leave your teeth really squeaky clean, so that's an added bonus.

Good quality Electric Toothbrushes have bought these in the past can highly recommend battery life is good too.

No need to worry about the battery dying, which was what happened to my previous electric toothbrush which had a fixed rechargeable battery that failed after a couple of years of usage. The only drawback is that the brush heads don't exactly fit with other generic Oral-B ones, but it's manageable.

Buonissimo prodotto

Bien arrivé malgré que c’était un jour férié ! Bravo !

Es muy bueno y muy fiable

Vorgestern bestellt, war sie heute da. Wir setzen sie auf Reisen im Womo ein, da die in ihr einsetzbaren handelsüblichen AA- Akkus mit Bordmitteln auch ohne 240 Volt leicht nachzuladen sind. Nachdem wir seit Jahren das Oral B- System verwenden, erscheint mir die an anderer Stelle kritisierte Antriebsschwäche des Batteriemodells für uns nach Prüfung vernachlässigbar. Es mag vielleicht ein wenig schwächer sein, doch das werden die mit dem festen Akku auch mit den Jahren. Die Leistung der Bürste geht für uns in Ordnung, wir sind dann in Urlaub und nicht auf der Flucht. Den Halbminuten- Aussetzer bzw. den 2 Minuten- Zeitgeber hat die Bürste nicht und wir vermissen ihn nicht. Ich habe noch nie beim Zähneputzen die Zeit stoppen müssen. Es wurde die Schwergängigkeit des Batteriefachdeckels bemängelt. Bei unserem Modell ist die Verriegelungsmechanik technisch gut gemacht, mit richtigen Federn und mit einer umlaufenden Dichtung. Nach dem ersten Öffnen erkennt man zweifelsfrei, wo man da zu drücken hat und der nötige Druck liegt genau zwischen leicht genug zum gewollten Öffnen und schwer genug zum unbeabsichtigten Öffnen. Die umlaufende zusätzliche O- Ring- Dichtung im Gehäuse sollte zum Dichtsein völlig ausreichen, ihr Tragbild ist in Ordnung. Natürlich wäre es möglich, in das geöffnete Gerät Zahnpasta hineinzuschlabbern, wenn man es vor dem Öffnen nicht abgespült hat, doch das bedarf keiner großartigen Erklärung. Die Kritik an "abgelaufenen" Batterien im Lieferumfang dieser Zahnbürste kann ich ebenfalls nicht teilen, die mitgelieferten hochwertigen Duracell- Mignon- Batterien tragen das Ablaufdatum 2021 und funktionieren einwandfrei. Lange schon verwenden wir dieses Zahnbürstensystem und meistens dauert es einige Jahre, ehe eine nicht mehr funktioniert. Wir haben uns allerdings zur Angewohnheit gemacht, sie nach Gebrauch mit nach unten gerichtetem Metallstift unter fließendem Wasser abzuspülen und danach gerade um den Stift herum abzutrocknen, lassen da keine Zahnpastareste dran. Vielleicht hilft das, sie lange funktionieren zu lassen. Das Gehäuse der Batterieversion macht einen für den Preis ausgesprochenen wertigen Eindruck, den ich so gar nicht erwartet habe. Die blauen Silikoneinsätze (ich nehme an, daß es das oder etwas ähnliches ist) dichten vom Gehäuse zum Druckschalter hin ab, ebenso vom Gehäuse zu den Punkten, auf die man beim Öffnen drücken muß. Ich hatte in der Tat schon Batteriebürsten anderer Hersteller, die von einer solch guten Qualität weit entfernt waren. Für unsere Bedürfnisse nach gewohnter Zahnpflege auch unterwegs im Womo ist die Bürste sehr gut geeignet.
