Oral-B Pro 1000

Scored on 4 verified owner verdicts, from 658 comments read across 4 communities
TL;DR
Most owners are happy with the Oral-B Pro 1000, praising the noticeably clean feeling it leaves at the gum line (some say it beats Sonicare here), its low price for a genuine electric-toothbrush clean, and its durability, with several units still going strong after 8-10 years. A meaningful minority run into hardware defects, though: units that won't charge, blink after charging, buzz without turning on, or fail to auto-shutoff after 2 minutes. A smaller group also finds the handle feels cheap or prefers Sonicare's overall performance, though these complaints didn't reach the same frequency as the charging and power issues.

Who it's for
A great fit if

Other than that, it's not a bad brush. In my opinion, it's not suited for someone with arthritis of the hands.

My older, legacy 1000 (about 8 years old now) just has ONE speed and still works awesome.

For only $50, the Oral-B Pro 1000 is perfect for people who want the superior clean of an electric toothbrush, without paying extra for bells and whistles.

Electric Teeth (affiliate)▲ recommend

The Oral-B Pro 1000 is a good electric toothbrush that can clean your teeth very well despite only having basic features. It would be better if it had a visible pressure sensor and a longer battery life, but for the price it's an excellent brush.
