Terrible to control

Do not buy if you have any hand disability! The body is slick plastic that gets extremely difficulty to hold onto if it gets water or toothpaste suds on it. My old model had a rubber front and a ridged back that allowed a much better grip. Probably it’s cheaper to make the smooth body than the one that had the rubber insert. I have had to wrap rubber bands around the handle to gain any control.

We’re very sorry to hear you’re dissatisfied with your Oral-B Pro 1000.

We will be sure to share your experience with our Quality team. We’d like to learn more from you, and get you brushing with a new Oral-b toothbrush, so please give us a call at 1(800) 566-7252.
False advertising, this toothbrush has no sensor, pressed as hard as I could and was never notified for pressure.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're very sorry to hear you had a disappointing experience with your Oral-B Pro 1000 toothbrush. Our products go through many quality checks to ensure they perform to our high standards, so we will share your experience with our Quality team. The way this brush's pressure sensor informs users if they're brushing too hard is by slowing down the oscilation of the bristles on brush head. If you notice your brush start to feel like it has less power, it's telling you that you are applying too much pressure. We'd like to learn more about your experience, so please give us a call at 1(800) 566-7252.
I love the simplicity and ease of use of the Pro1000. It leaves my teeth feeling very clean, and my hygenist regularly comments on their cleanliness. My big beef is that this is unnecessarily a throwaway product because the battery eventually quits holding a charge and it CANNOT BE REPLACED. I don't want to sound like an eco-nerd, because I'm not, but I do pay attention (more than I used to) to eco-friendliness and sustainability, and it's really too bad OralB won't engineer in a replaceable battery.
Just received the toothbrush. The on / off button is too hard to push. and find to operate ..Pulses during brushing are annoying. .Should have bought the Phillips.

The ease of your brushing sessions is of the utmost importance to us, so we're sorry that you found our Oral-B Pro1000 CrossAction Toothbrush too hard to press, and that your find the pulsating annoying. It's designed to inform you when every 30 seconds are up, and so that you can use this brush with ease. Your feedback is important to us, and we'd like to hear from you about this, and we'd like to find you a brush that works perfectly for you. Please call us at (800) 566-7252.
Will not charge unless the brush is on the charger and the charger is unplugged and replugged. At this time, the charging light comes on. I’ve received 3 replacements and they all are acting the same way.

Please know this is not typical, and after extensive studies and quality checks during manufacturing, we're concerned about why this keeps happening with your Pro 1000 handles. Your satisfaction means a lot to us, and we appreciate you sharing this information, which we'll be sure to share with Quality Assurance to look into.
To best assist with this, we'd like to gather more details about your purchase, so we can help you get back brushing as soon as possible. When you can, give us a call at 1-800-566-7252, M-F, 9 am to 6 pm EST.
Does a great job cleaning.... but only if it's charged. It says it should last 5-10 days on a charge. I've had mine for less than a year and it barely lasts the two minutes it takes to brush.

You're right. A full charge can take up to 22 hours and enables up to ten days of regular brushing when brushing twice a day for 2 minutes every session. We're sorry to hear that you're no longer getting that amount of time per charge but know this isn't what we expect. Try fully discharging the brush, fully charging it, and discharging it completely again. Do this cycle 3 times, and it may improve the battery life. These tips may help, but we'd like to hear from you about this and assist you further. Please call us at (800) 566-7252.
We bought a pair of these brushes, model 3791, and have the same opinion. Great power and charge duration but the handle design definitely needs improvement. 1. it is slippery to begin with and liquid tends to run down to the grip making it even more so. A rubber grip and style like the 500 series is preferable. 2. Both 1000 brushes readily switch on but you have to fumble with the switch several times in order to switch off, even when removed from mouth.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Your comments will be shared with our product development team, but we encourage you to reach out to us at 1-800-566-7252 for more help (available M-F, 8AM-5PM CST).
Purchased one month ago and it doesn’t work anymore. Spins fast for a few seconds and then slows way down - worthless and a waste of money if this is the dependability you can expect.

Our products go through many quality checks to make sure they reach you in perfect condition, so we're certainly sorry to hear about your experience. The average lifespan of an Oral-B electric toothbrush and its charger is approximately 3-5 years, so we assure you what you're describing isn't something we'd expect to happen. We'd like to learn more to share with our Quality Team and provide some troubleshooting tips, so please give us a call at (800) 566-7252 once you have a chance.
