Great toothbrush, affodable price

I bought this toothbrush about 9 months ago because my dentist recommended an electric toothbrush for me. This brush was reasonably priced, and my teeth feel like I just had them professionally cleaned after each use. I won't ever go back to a manual toothbrush.
This brush is supposed to have 3 speed settings activated by successively pressing the on/off button. The switch on the one sold to me only turns it on or off. It does not change the mode as advertised. I would give it 4 stars if the modes worked but only 2 because they don't.
This is our 3rd Oral B toothbrush purchase. Our last one lasted a very long time.....probably longer than Oral B would have liked. When that finally died, we bought Oral B again because we had such a good experience. We bought two more upon our last purchase. Now, one seems okay yet but, the other is just noisy, slow, and the charge runs out quickly. Maybe the brushes were lasting too long and Oral B engineers were told to engineer them to fail. I guess we'll buy another Oral B but if we have the same experience I'm going to look at other brands.
I am very disappointed with this brush. I bought it to replace another electric brush as it came recommended by the retailer. I specifically asked for a brush with a 2 minute timer. Well yes it does have a timer but one has to count the beeps to know when the time is up and they all sound the same to me. My last brush turned off after 2 minutes. Also it is very noisy. I am thinking of returning the brush.
I bought it in Courts Singapore around only a month ago, at first it was alright, charging is only needed once a week. but after two weeks, the batter life shortened significantly, now I have to charge it EVERY TIME after use cause the red light indicator keeps flashing! and until this morning it just stopped working when I was still brushing my teeth. and the thing is I have followed the instructions carefully from the beginning--charing 17hrs the first time and allow the battery to die out before charge again...etc. Now I just cannot believe this is what "made in Germany" means...words cannot describe my frustration and disappointment now...
Oh man! I actually look forward to brushing my teeth now! I had that "other one" and I ended up getting that "dingy-mouth" feeling only a few hours into my day. Now, with The Oral-B 1000, my mouth stays feeling clean until my second brushing.
If you're worried about any "features" missing, this one has 'em all. I also love the fact that I can use a wide variety of replacement heads. That's the real kicker for me. Definitely a purchase I would make again!
Made a great Christmas gift too! I hope!
I know, I sound overly excited about this but, what can I say, I love my teeth and they love me!
Great brush. Good battery life. An electric toothbrush is a product that’s critical for your dental health and overall well-being. This device ticks all the boxes. In my opinion, it's full of thoughtful and fantastic features.
