📣 *UPDATE - JUNE 2024* - The Pro 1000 has been updated to include 3 brushing modes, rather than 1. The 3 modes available on the latest version are: Daily Clean, Sensitive & Whitening. It will default to Daily Clean mode. Each time you use the brush you will need to press the power button additional times to switch between modes.
I have seen the Pro 1000 in local stores here in Canada but not the 2000. It seems like next step up is the iO line. I like my P 1000 bought a few years ago, if no 2000 available, is the updated P 1000 still a good buy compared to the iO line?
Thank you so much for the update. I just purchased the Pro 1000 today and it has three modes on the box. I watched your older video where it says it has one mode. I wasn't paying attention when I went to try it out and I kept wondering why do I have to hit the button so many times to turn it off. I'm glad I found this updated video I was getting confused thank you
I have an oral B 1000 toothbrush from 2017 was my first electric brush and still works to this day. Only brush i have used in that time with lots of usage and zero issues. The battery only lasts around 5 days now, but other than that can attest to the quality of these brushes. I will by another Oral B brush again if it ever dies lol and will upgrade but in the time being will keep using my old brush and replace heads as needed!
@@zizibe218 I’m still using mine, the battery has degraded as well.

I bought this because I don't need the fancy bluetooth gadgetry and want a simple system that is easy to clean and sanitize after use. I couldn't believe how clean my teeth were at the gum line, a much better clean than the Sonicare delivered. I also like that there are so many brush head options for this.
Times have changed. Amazon is periodically offering the Pro 1000 for $30 USD. That's pretty much $50 USD less than the B-1500. And you could buy two Pro 1000's plus still have money left over for extra brush heads. Latest reviews of the Pro 1000 indicate that the tactile response from the pressure sensor is more obvious, making the need for a visual cue unnecessary.
I've been using the equivalent of the Braun/Oral B Pro-1000 you described. It just died; after 30 years. I'll either buy this or the 1500 model. If it gets slippery, I'll wrap a rubber band around it. Never needed fancier all those years, and I don't now.
Still have mine bought in march 2022. Now January 1st. So had it for 10 years. Battery only seems to last 3 days now. I can tell when it starts to run out, the sound slowly goes away. I have a Burst on standby Should I replace it now with the Burst which is in my desk still in the box downstairs? I mean 10 years of ownership is over the limit. Thanks Devin.
Im new to E brush. Just want one that cleans good. Not interested in fancy smancy features. So the $50, $100, $200 models clean better as price goes up?
The more you spend doesn't really equal a better toothbrush. Our top recommendations USA - Oral-B Smart 1500 Canada - Oral-B Smart 2000 More info in this video: ruclips.net/video/gfyjtvmLfY4/видео.html
Would the Philips Sonicare 1100 or Philips One be better than this one? I'm looking at purchasing another electric toothbrush and the 2 above mentioned, along with the Oral-B Vitality as my choices. I do not have to pay for the choices I have mentioned, and that is why I am asking about those specifically. I already have the Oral-B Pro 1000 and I'm not sure if it's worth getting another one (the choices above only) or just sticking with the Oral-B Pro 1000.
This Oral-B Pro 1000 is comparable to the Sonicare 1100 Series. I rate both better than the Philips One. The Philips One has a place, but requires you to use much more manual movement in the brushing technique and is doing less of the hard work for you. I would avoid the Vitality if you can. The user experience with the Pro 1000 and Sonicare 1100 is much better. If you have the Pro 1000 already and it is working fine, there is no reason to change. 👍
how do you use the 2 min timer and 30 second pacer? is it on automatically or do i have to turn it on because when i tried i didnt see or hear anything from my brush.
It is usually automatic. If you turn the brush on, after 30 seconds there should be a brief pause in the motor & brush head movements, which in turn changes the sound. This repeats at 30 second intervals. Then at 2 minutes you get 3 brief pauses as a cue it is the end of the session.
Hi... Jon I'm a follower your channel from Thailand. I'm very fond of your review. Now is it a new electric toothbrush Pro models from Oral B right? It's beautiful model, easy to clean, Minimal and most of all in Thailand, there are no this models available. Only old models. I'm sorry, my English might not be very good. And I want to tell you, your teeth are much more beautiful now. I'm Sonicare fanclubs
This has only just become available in the USA & Canada. It will likely arrive in other markets such as Thailand in the future, but I can't say if and when this will be. The old model is still very good, but this is a slight upgrade, most specifically with the design.
Assuming you are in the USA? The Pro 1000 is good, but lacks a pressure sensor. If you know you don't brush hard, then it's a decent model for the price. The Pro 3 3000 is a model from Europe (usually), there is the Smart 3 3000. Again the Smart 3 is pretty good. It has Bluetooth which I don't think is necessary and provides limited benefit. Cleaning results are comparable. The Pro 3 3000 (European model) is one we definitely recommend. Our top pick is the Pro 3 3500 - it comes with a travel case, for normally the same price as the Pro 3 3000 which does not have one. It has all the dentist recommended features.
I just purchased the Smart 1500 and I noticed if I shake the handle there is a subtle/dull rattle inside the handle near the power button. Is this normal?
At 2 minutes the brush head movement changes 3 times. There is a different brushing sensation and sound emitted as this happens. This is your alert that 2 minutes are up.
Pro 5000 is another perfectly good electric toothbrush with comparable cleaning results. It comes with a few more features which you may or may not want. The main 'nice to have' is the visible pressure sensor. If you can get for about the same price, I would opt for the Pro 5000.
There is an LED on the front of the brush handle which will flash green when charging. Once fully charged it will turn a told green and then turn off. 👍
As far as I am aware, providing you have the correct charging stand for the country/region you are in then the brush will sit on that stand and be charged just fine.
It can take some getting use to the power of an electric brush. You might find switching to the ProGum Care (soft) bristled brush head may help a little, if you don't already have this head.
This is a problem most have there is no easy way of knowing. We are working on a vid to help with this. Daily Clean is the first mode. The slower second mode is sensitive and the mode that makes a up and down/revving sound is Whitening.
Bit of a longer message here, but I'm interested in your thoights. I've been looking at entering the electric toothbrush space recently. I've done a fair bit of research, and initially I was looking at more compact brushes to double as a travel brush. However, I've decided that some brushes like the Gleem and Quip probably aren't worth it when manual movement is still required, but they seem to be some of the smallest options out there. The Pro1000 looks similar in size when looking at the pictures, but this video makes it seem much larger, so travel with it may be an issue if that is correct. So, the question: is the Pro1000 worth it in terms of power and size to try and double the job as a travel and home brush, OR would it be better to up the ante and get a better Oral B brush, and use something like a cheap Colgate electric brush (usually
Hi Tanner. Great question. In short, there are no brushes similar in size to Quip/Gleem, that I know of that offer better cleaning power & performance. The Pro 1000 is about 2-3 times the overall thickness. It doesn't come with a case and what case you could get for it tends to be bulky. I would generally say it is worth picking the better toothbrush, i.e. the likes of the Pro 1000 or other models we recommend. However, that does depend on your travel situations. If it is just 1 or 2 nights a month or a week or two hear and there throughout the year, for many the considerations are different to someone looking to backpack around a number of countries for example. Perhaps you could give some more insight as to how you travel so I can give more feedback.
That's the Durapik flosser, which we didn't find to be great in our testing. Our review is here: www.electricteeth.com/durapik-flosser-review/ A similar product that we found to be much better is the Quip Flosser: www.electricteeth.com/quip-floss-pick-review/
Just got this as my first e-toothbrush. If I had researched some I would have gotten the smart 1500. Anyway I have a question about charging..if fully charged do I still leave it plugged in. Or I can unplug it?
This is still a very good brush, even if we rate others fractionally higher. You are going to get most of the benefits. 👍 You can leave it plugged in. The brush has technology built in to protect it from over-charging. However, good practice is to unplug and not be recharging the battery all of the time.
There is no straight answer here really. Both are as good as each other. Clinical data would suggest oscillating & rotating, but it isn't conclusive. Best to use either one regularly and correctly.
I have a 1000 and I just acquired it yesterday as of this writing. It feels bulky when I'm using it and the tooth paste saliva is constantly dribbling out of my mouth. Maybe with practice it wont be so gross. The pressure sensor is pretty obvious when it's activated because the brush will bog down when too much pressure is applied. I've so far not been able to keep the brush moving for 2 minutes without stopping because of the messiness of the brushing. I notice that in your demonstrations you're not actually brushing with tooth paste. That's cheating!!
It will get easier. If it is your first electric toothbrush it can take some getting used to. I usually do use toothpaste, but I admit there as times when recording footage I don't.
No. Providing you are not applying lots of force when brushing, the bristles are designed not to damage the enamel. It can take some getting use to the power of an electric brush. You might find switching to the ProGum Care (soft) bristled brush head may help a little, if you don't already have this head.
That's fine and I would agree with you generally speaking. Particularly if you know not to brush too hard. But we generally find the price difference is about $15-$25. Of course prices vary so at times it might make more or less sense.

Best price is direct from oral b
The 1500 costs 2x as much as the 1000. IMO it's not worth 2x the price for the extra "features ".
That's fine and I would agree with you generally speaking. Particularly if you know not to brush too hard.
But we generally find the price difference is about $15-$25. Of course prices vary so at times it might make more or less sense.
Is it aggressive to teeth?
I feel like that!
Some may say so. It does feel more aggressive than the sonic toothbrushes. However, you normally get used to it quite quickly.
What’s the difference between this one and the one you reviewed back in 2018?
Primarily it is a refreshed design. The handle is more smooth plastic & less rubber grips. Arguably looks more modern and is easily to clean.
The battery is ridiculously bad. I find that I have to charge mine every two or three uses
How long have you had the brush? How long do you brush for each time you use it?
