Never thought I'd need a review for a toothbrush until I started shopping for one yesterday for a gift. Got quite confusing with the 3000 - 3500 model names etc. Very helpful, cheers lad.
Thank you for the review. I ordered one for my boyfriend as a first electric toothbrush, he washes his teeth too hard and has too many holes because of that. I hope this one will help him to brush his teeth 🦷 with less pressure.
Thanks. Just bought this, and nowhere on the box, in the instructions or online could I find an explanation for what the 3 cleaning modes are. So thank you for covering what Oral B should have done!
Just bought a Pro 3 3000. I give it 4/5 stars. Not 5 because the handle is slippery although once it gets some limescale on it from hard water it may be better ! Not keen on the oblong head so switched to a sensitive one on sensitive mode. Satisfactory now but I got it half price in Sainsburys. Don't think I'd like to pay £90 until they improve the handle. Before I had a 600 series. Much grippier handle but no sensitive mode and it made my teeth rattle !
I too have just bought the Oral B Pro 3000 and it's perfectly adequate. I've put an elastic band around for extra grip as I have gripping issues with my hands. I recently saw my hygienist and asked her advice on electric brushes. She recommended the Oral B's in the middle to high price bracket. I didn't want the all singing all dancing models as feel that they're not really needed. I'm personally not interest in using an app with it, nor all the difference levels. I think the Pro 3 offers what it is needed. Although I feel that the teeth whitening level is a bit redundant. That's my own opinion anyway.
Just bought the series 3 3500 with the travel case in Boots for £31.50. Very pleased with the performance and love the pressure sensor as I’ve always brushed my teeth too hard in the past
Is it a good alternative to IO3? I don't want to pay twice the price for the heads. I don't need the bells and whistles with apps, bluetooth, external monitors, timers etc Upd: ordered 2x3500 black for £69
I've been researching mid range Oral B's and came to the conclusion of this one, the 3000. I was confused about the difference between 3D and cross-action? I'm not completely sure tbh. Please can you explain? Thanks 😊
CrossAction is the brush head (bristle) configuration. The CrossAction head has angled bristles. Compare this to the Precision Clean head for example where the bristles are straight. More details in this video: ua-cam.com/video/DlDxmmfpd30/v-deo.html 3D referes to the cleaning action. Oral-B offer brushes with 2D or 3D cleaning action. 2D brushes have an oscillating and rotating cleaning action, whereas the 3D cleaning introduces pulsations too. The addition of pulsations makes for a better clean. Therefore you ideally want a brush with a 3D cleaning action. The Pro 3 3000 has this.
I was recommended io7 or io9 by my dentist with soft bristles but I am not sure if I want to pay that much for an electric toothbrush because I don't have prior experience of using an electric one. So looking for something cheaper. 1)Do you think, based on my explanation, that I shluld go Pro 3 (75 euros with travel case and 52 euros without) and save some euros or go for io series (56 euros for 5s , 166 euros for 7 and 230 euros for 9s). 2)Will they discontinue the brush heads if the series stopped, since I plan to use the brush for at least three years.
Hey. I would go for the Pro 3 without the case (unless you feel you need it). The iO5s at 56 is very good price but brush heads are 2x the cost than those for the Pro 3. Therefore over time works out more expensive. I really don't expect they are going to discontinue any heads at this time given how many millions are using models that need the heads. 👍
Thanks Jon, this was brilliant-all these videos are really helpful and I like the way you cut to the chase quickly. I was about to buy the 3500 with your Argos link but they're *totally* out of stock in all stores and won't even deliver that model. I ended up getting it from eBay but when I clicked on your link, it didn't give me any particular product listing. I had to choose a seller. Hopefully it still registers a commission for you?
Hi Kevin. Thanks for clicking our link, it should send us a few pennies all being well. I am glad you found the videos useful and do hope you like the brush.
Thank you for the video. I am planning to buy an electric brush and have been considering this one or the Vitality Pro. The questions are 1. if the lithium battery is preferable. 2. Is pulsation important to have? And I wonder - if we are supposed to go through the front and back surfaces AND the biting surface - it doesn't seem possible to cover the whole quadrant in 30 seconds and the entire mouth in 2 minutes. Your input, please.
So my pick is this over the Vitality Pro. The Vitality isn't bad, but small things make this brush much better, for not a considerable amount extra cost. The Pro 3 offers a bit more cleaning power/effectiveness. It has a 3D cleaning action rather than the 2D of the Vitality. Basically the bristles move more on the Pro 3 to help clean well. Also the Pro 3 has a batter notification LED which the Vitality doesn't so you have no easy way of telling if the Vitality's battery is fully charged or flat. In answer to your questions specifically. 1. Lithium batteries are typically considered to be better, but it isn't a make or break issue really. 2. The Pulsations do help provide a deeper clean, so yes, I believe so. It is possible to clean a quadrant of teeth in 30 seconds. You can spend longer if you wish, but 2 minutes in total for the whole mouth is the minimum. But research has found that if you brushed for 4 minutes in total for example, the mouth isn't actually that much cleaner than after 2 minutes of brushing. Whilst brushing for longer does help, there is a point were its not as worthwhile essentially. Plus you can over-brush. Thus, brushing 4 minutes twice a day is potentially verging on too much as an example.
@@ElectricTeeth Thank you so much for the timely and detailed answer. Can you tell if Pro 1, specifically the Pro 1 800 model which is supplied with the Ultrathin sensitive head, has the 3d technology as in oscillates, pulsates and rotates?
Yes, pretty much. There are arguments that iO6 is better. Technically it probably is. But we are talking about small differences. Brushing time, technique etc all likely to have a bigger impact.
@@ElectricTeeth Thank you so much! There’s literally no place in the world other than your blog and channel where one could ask this and get an honest, expert answer.
Thank you very much for the useful videos 😃 Please tell me does the price increase, the quality increase?? Is each version better than the one before it? Is pro3 better than pro 2?? I want to buy an electric toothbrush but I haven't decided on which model yet...
As a general rule no. Yes, there does tend to be an improvement in quality from a product priced at £/$10 to £/$35 for example, but paying £/$90 doesn't generally result in any meaningful quality improvements. The models get better in the sense that the more you pay, typically the more features you get, but very few need or want these extra features.
Thank you very much for your channel and great reviews. I'd like to buy the 2000/2500 or 3000/3500 for an elderly person. Her gums are sensitive but I'm thinking if the 3000/3500 handle feels too slippery. Which one is better? Or would recommend some other model instead of these two?
It is personal opinion, but I do think the rubber grip on the Pro 2 2000/2 2500 feels slightly more secure/grippy in hand. Making them my pick. The Pro 2 2500 is usually the best value. The clean just the same, so nothing to worry about there.
@@ElectricTeeth Thank you so much. I've watched your videos and I trust you. As for the gums, is it more about the brush and not so much about the inner parts of the device?
To an extent yes. A powerful motor will deliver what can feel like more intense/harsh cleaning to the gums, so the slower brushing modes help avoid this. But soft bristled brush heads so, the Oral-B Sensitive or SeniUltraThin brush head are very useful for a more gentle brushing experience.
I can tell that 3000 series is too shiny and becomes scratched after a while. The 2000 series that I use looks a bit less stylish, but more durable. It’s my note
It does depend as Oral-B have revised case design slightly over the years. So what case you have or is supplied with one might differ. But, they are both plastic and my Pro 2 2500 fits into the case of the Pro 3 3500.
I’ve just purchased this toothbrush from Amazon in the black colour that comes with the travel case however no matter how hard I press on it the red light doesn’t appear is it faulty?
It would seem so. You have to apply more force than you might expect, but if nothing is coming on no matter how much force is applied that isn't right.
It's a bit longer than you want to be brushing for, assuming you have no disabilities that extend your brushing time. Providing you are using a non-abrasive toothpaste and not too much pressure, then yes, it should be fine, but if you can bring that brushing time down to nearer 3 minutes that would be better long term.
Hello! I consider Oral-B 3500 pro for my 10 y.o. daughter instead of the Teen option. I know that she would clean using "sensitive" mode and brush. Would it be a proper product or better buy Oral-B Teen? Thank you in advance!
Jon, do I have a bit of a small lemon or is it normal for the brush to wobble back and forth (so front and back facing the brush) when you place it on a surface? Seems like the rubber padding isn't level all the way around, leaving less than a mm gap at one side so it isn't 100% stable when placed down.
If i understand correctly what you mean, as a general rule they sit flat and pretty stable on a countertop. If touched may rock very slightly but shouldn't be a noticeable rock. The base o the brush should be even all round really.
Can I use any brush head with any model of oral b toothbrushes? Like I have vitality heads, and I am planning to be this model, because i dont know if this model comes with sensitive head brushes
Yes. The only thing you need to be aware of is that there are a range of 'iO' brush heads, that fit and work with the iO Series of toothbrushes only. All the other heads are compatible. For example, the Sensi UltraThin/Sensitive brush head that fits the Vitality also fits the Pro 3.
The only con I see is that it's a bit noisy, I usually brush my teeth at night and when I use it it's so loud my neighbours can hear it 😂 Other than that, it's a good toothbrush
The Ordo isn't a bad option. This Pro 3 3500 is a good choice too. There is a slower and more gentle sensitive mode and if you use a soft bristled sensitive brush head you should be good 👍
I was recommended this brush by my dentist but I hate noise when brushing..do you know any brands that are quieter please? I have very old and fragile teeth too so a bit gentler would be good too! Thank you
Hey. Sure thing. You probably want to consider a 'sonic' toothbrush. They tend to be quieter and more gentle. They have been made popular by Philips Sonicare, but many brands offer such. If I may direct you to this article I've written which give more information and a number of quiet options you could consider. www.electricteeth.com/uk/quietest-electric-toothbrush/
Thank you!@@ElectricTeeth I was actually looking at a cheap sonic toothbrush earlier...Home Bargain £2.99 (LOL)....Unfortunately no spare brush replacements so didn't buy. as I try and be sustainable. Had never heard of them before today. I will read the article.
Hey Jon, my pro 3 just arrived today and it's really good as an electric toothbrush but just when I brushed it now I noticed a bit of blood in my mouth after spitting. I don't know if it's just because my gum is getting used to a new brush or something else. I also noticed it doesn't use all the toothpaste I put on the brush head and there is always excess paste. Please can you answer and thank you 😊
The blood is likely because the gums are getting used to it as the brush cleans more effectively. That should stop in the coming days. If it doesn't you may need to speak to a dentists. Presumably you are flossing/cleaning between the teeth? You might have some paste left over this isn't uncommon. I'm not sure how much you are applying, but you just need a pea sized amount.
is it normal that the brush head isnt in line with the upper part of the toothbrush itself? aspecially after turning it on the gap gets bigger. also in your video a gap can be seen
How does the 3 3500 compare to Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 4300? I can get both for the same price and I've read that it's a close call between 4300 and 2 2500. But what about 3 3500?
Without writing a big essay of the differences it is a pretty similar scenario. Comparable but different. Both clean the teeth well. The Sonicare has the better battery life and feels more premium, but the Oral-B has a pressure sensor and works out more cost effective long term because the heads are cheaper.
Electric Teeth About the toothbrush itself - I find the indented power button unintuitive, many times i switch modes instead of turning the thing off. Should have had 2 dedicated buttons like my old Oral B. Was this a cost cutting measure ?
Interesting Max. I can see and agree to some extend with what you are saying. Pressing & holding for 2 seconds will turn the brush off. I don't know the exact reason. I suspect reliability and durability was more likely a reason than cost. A second button gives a potential additional wear/failure point. This is a guess rather than fact.
Electric Teeth Like I said, it’s a not a big deal and definitely not a deal breaker. Having said that, i do appreciate the all plastic handle, the rubber coated handles do collect grime as you pointed out in your written reviews. I’ll note as well that whilst the handle is assembled in Germany, the charger meanwhile is made in Hungary. Those chargers were always made in Germany, perhaps in the future their handles will also be produced offshore !
Just bought this toothbrush. Is it normal for it to not turn off after the two minutes? My previous one (different brand) did this so I was surprised when it just kept going.
I have a video coming soon to explain this Leo. But, if its ok with you in the meantime I will direct you to the following written comparison, which lists & explains the differences - www.electricteeth.com/uk/oral-b-pro-2-2000-vs-pro-3-3000/
It is all down to how many times you press the power button. Press it once to turn the brush on and launch 'Daily Clean' mode. Press it again to select 'Sensitive' mode.
Is there any way of keeping it on one setting? I bought this a few weeks back and it's already driving me mad waiting to use the full power mode. Or is there a quick way to get to this?
@@ElectricTeeth hmm mine defaults to a mode where it starts off at mid power and gradually gets less powerful and goes into an intermittent brush. I'm only able to use the max power mode after a couple of minutes and after turning it off and on a few times
It comes with a 2 pin plug suitable for shaver/power outlets found in many UK bathrooms. To recharge from a 3 pin UK socket you need to purchase a 2 to 3 pin adapter.
For the most part no. If you have sensitive teeth/gums then the Sensi UltraThin head is a good option. Our most recommended heads are this and the CrossAction.
Thanks for review. I have ordered the 2 2000 and it beat to my teeth 🦷 and I don’t feel comfortable. I tried other one Pro 500 (and Pro 750) and it feels much better, because it only rotated, and not have vibration. Maybe mine has some defect? I think will I get any benefits if I will switch to the Pro 3000? Thanks
Anton. I am not sure if you have used an electric toothbrush before? It can take some time to get used to it. The Pro 500 & 750 will help clean your teeth effectively, but there are benefits to the Pro 2 2000 and 3 3000. It is possible the Pro 2 2000 is faulty, but I can't say without handling it. The cleaning power is quite intense. This would be the same with the Pro 3 3000, so if you don't get on with the 2000, you wont get on with the 3000.
@@ElectricTeeth Decided also to try the new iO 6 model. Waiting when it will arrive. Want to compare with 2 2000 model. Maybe such beats from toothbrush is okay. I felt much more comfortable with a rotating series without 3D feature, it just rotating and cleans teeth super good. Then upgraded to 2 2000 just to have a Li-Ion battery to charge rarely, and it was surprising to me that it not just rotating, but also vibrating too much. My wife tried once and returned to her Pro 1 model (750). For her it’s much more gentle
It depends on the severity, but if you have early stage gum disease, this is a great option, particulalrly when paired with a softer bristled head like the Sensi UltraThin.
#Electricteeth Hey i just picked these exact toothbrush the 3000 series to be precise for 15.95 euro, i bought it from a big mall, but the weird thing that the offer was just on the one i bought and not the other same product, if anyone could maybe explain to me why normally would be these special offers and, thanks in advance.
Oral-B & their stockists can do some crazy deals at times. It can be to promote sales through specific times of year etc and move stock they might be holding.
I don’t recommend the 2500 as I bought that a few years back and the rubber comes away after a year or so! In the end I’ve bought a new toothbrush so I feel like it wasn’t saving money in the end
Never have an electric toothbrush with such a low battery time than this Pro 3! Never near 14-20 days as you says, but less than a week! Its so annoying its a real deal breaker!
Do you brush for more than 2 minutes each time? If you are getting less than 2 weeks with 2, 2 minute brushing sessions each day it seems like something isn't quite right.
From what I can see the Pro 3 3700 has an extra brush head in the box. No travel case. So technically the same as the Pro 3 3000, but an extra brush head.
I bought this after using Vitality Pro for 6 months and this is much noisier even thought more expensive (paid 58€). Maybe it's because I got used to Vitalitys sensitive mode.
I’ve tried it for a few weeks now. I enjoy the new motor but I am struggling with the pressure light. I spend more time focussing on trying to keep it in the green band than on the actual brushing. Would have been better with just the red light activation
Hey hi! I want to buy one Electric but I dont know which one? I dont need any app, artificial Intelligence, computer or something like that. I just need something that clean good my teeth and no more. The price is not a Problem but I am Only looking for the right one. Which one do u recommend me, please?. Genius X would be a good decision? Or better pro 3 3000 or any other?. I am really confused. Vielen Dank im Voraus! 🫡

True. Compared to sonic toothbrushes it is. Comparable to other Oral-B brushes.
@@ElectricTeeth my old Oral B Vitality is noticeably less loud
I agree 100%
I had Philips previously which unfortunately broke down within 1.5 years, but it was much more quieter for sure.
The noise level is annoying .. the handle slips out your hands when wet and I have no idea how you suppose to charge it as mine won’t 😢
Is 3000 and 3500 the same in terms of noise and cleaning?
09:25 - Bro:
Oral-B Pro 2 - Oscilation 8 800 / min and pulsation 40 000 / min
Oral-B Pro 3 - Oscilation 9 900 / min and pulsation 45 000 / min

Thank you very much for your channel and great reviews. I'd like to buy the 2000/2500 or 3000/3500 for an elderly person. Her gums are sensitive but I'm thinking if the 3000/3500 handle feels too slippery. Which one is better? Or would recommend some other model instead of these two?
It is personal opinion, but I do think the rubber grip on the Pro 2 2000/2 2500 feels slightly more secure/grippy in hand. Making them my pick. The Pro 2 2500 is usually the best value.
The clean just the same, so nothing to worry about there.
@@ElectricTeeth Thank you so much. I've watched your videos and I trust you. As for the gums, is it more about the brush and not so much about the inner parts of the device?
To an extent yes. A powerful motor will deliver what can feel like more intense/harsh cleaning to the gums, so the slower brushing modes help avoid this. But soft bristled brush heads so, the Oral-B Sensitive or SeniUltraThin brush head are very useful for a more gentle brushing experience.
I can tell that 3000 series is too shiny and becomes scratched after a while. The 2000 series that I use looks a bit less stylish, but more durable. It’s my note
@@AntonDanilchenko Thank you very much, Jon and Anton. I appreciate your opinions.
thank you for the video. very valuable
is the travel case of the pro 2 identically constructed / compatible with the pro 3?
It does depend as Oral-B have revised case design slightly over the years. So what case you have or is supplied with one might differ. But, they are both plastic and my Pro 2 2500 fits into the case of the Pro 3 3500.
@@ElectricTeeth thank you for your reply. the oral b pro 3 does indeed fit into the case of the oral b pro 2 :)
Hi Jon.
It was a very useful video. It really helped me. Thank you.
Thanks for letting me know Murat. 👍
I’ve just purchased this toothbrush from Amazon in the black colour that comes with the travel case however no matter how hard I press on it the red light doesn’t appear is it faulty?
It would seem so. You have to apply more force than you might expect, but if nothing is coming on no matter how much force is applied that isn't right.
Which electric toothbrush would you recommend for having braces at a reasonable cost ?
Oral-B Pro 2 2500 or this. To be honest, subject to where you buy it from there isn't much difference in the price.
Hey, is 4 minutes with this brush too long? Enamel will be fine?
It's a bit longer than you want to be brushing for, assuming you have no disabilities that extend your brushing time.
Providing you are using a non-abrasive toothpaste and not too much pressure, then yes, it should be fine, but if you can bring that brushing time down to nearer 3 minutes that would be better long term.
Hello! I consider Oral-B 3500 pro for my 10 y.o. daughter instead of the Teen option. I know that she would clean using "sensitive" mode and brush. Would it be a proper product or better buy Oral-B Teen? Thank you in advance!
The Pro 3 should be fine for your 10 year old. 👍
Great review! Can you please do a review about Oclean Flow? Most of the reviews are not english and I really wanna know more about the product.
It is on our list to do in the future Emma, but I can't say when that will be.
@@ElectricTeeth Thank you!
Does the charher work with 120V input? I mean for north america just in case I am traveling
You would need a voltage and plug adapter connected to the charger for it to support this. The charger itself supports 220-240V.
Jon, do I have a bit of a small lemon or is it normal for the brush to wobble back and forth (so front and back facing the brush) when you place it on a surface? Seems like the rubber padding isn't level all the way around, leaving less than a mm gap at one side so it isn't 100% stable when placed down.
If i understand correctly what you mean, as a general rule they sit flat and pretty stable on a countertop. If touched may rock very slightly but shouldn't be a noticeable rock. The base o the brush should be even all round really.
@@ElectricTeeth Yeah mine wobbles with just the very slightest of taps, seems off.
Ok, that doesn't sound right. You may want to get it replaced.
Can I use any brush head with any model of oral b toothbrushes? Like I have vitality heads, and I am planning to be this model, because i dont know if this model comes with sensitive head brushes
Yes. The only thing you need to be aware of is that there are a range of 'iO' brush heads, that fit and work with the iO Series of toothbrushes only. All the other heads are compatible.
For example, the Sensi UltraThin/Sensitive brush head that fits the Vitality also fits the Pro 3.
@@ElectricTeeth Thanks a lot ♥️♥️
The only con I see is that it's a bit noisy, I usually brush my teeth at night and when I use it it's so loud my neighbours can hear it 😂
Other than that, it's a good toothbrush
My teeth are extremely sensitive and sensitive gums as well. What would you recommend? Ordo sonic+?
The Ordo isn't a bad option. This Pro 3 3500 is a good choice too. There is a slower and more gentle sensitive mode and if you use a soft bristled sensitive brush head you should be good 👍
I was recommended this brush by my dentist but I hate noise when brushing..do you know any brands that are quieter please? I have very old and fragile teeth too so a bit gentler would be good too! Thank you
Hey. Sure thing. You probably want to consider a 'sonic' toothbrush. They tend to be quieter and more gentle. They have been made popular by Philips Sonicare, but many brands offer such. If I may direct you to this article I've written which give more information and a number of quiet options you could consider. www.electricteeth.com/uk/quietest-electric-toothbrush/
Thank you!@@ElectricTeeth I was actually looking at a cheap sonic toothbrush earlier...Home Bargain £2.99 (LOL)....Unfortunately no spare brush replacements so didn't buy. as I try and be sustainable. Had never heard of them before today. I will read the article.
Hi may I ask does pro3 have Bluetooth function to be connected to oral b app to check how well is the brushing?
No, it does not.
@@ElectricTeeth Thank you very much! Very useful for me 😉
They make it so complicated with all the different models
Pro 3 3000 vs Pro Series 3?
Do you have a link to the Pro Series 3? Probably the same thing, just named differently.
@@ElectricTeeth I tried posting the link but UA-cam seems to have removed my comment
Ok. I can't see it in spam comments either. Hopefully you have figured out the differences, if any. You could always email us if you preferred/needed.
Hey Jon, my pro 3 just arrived today and it's really good as an electric toothbrush but just when I brushed it now I noticed a bit of blood in my mouth after spitting. I don't know if it's just because my gum is getting used to a new brush or something else. I also noticed it doesn't use all the toothpaste I put on the brush head and there is always excess paste. Please can you answer and thank you 😊
The blood is likely because the gums are getting used to it as the brush cleans more effectively. That should stop in the coming days. If it doesn't you may need to speak to a dentists.
Presumably you are flossing/cleaning between the teeth?
You might have some paste left over this isn't uncommon. I'm not sure how much you are applying, but you just need a pea sized amount.
@@ElectricTeeth I haven't seen any blood today during my brushings and I will start putting less toothpaste. Thanks for the feedback 👍
Hello, do you prefer this one or the Philips sonicare 4300 protective clean? I can't choose. Thank you
It is a very tough choice. Both are great. This edges it, just.
is it normal that the brush head isnt in line with the upper part of the toothbrush itself? aspecially after turning it on the gap gets bigger. also in your video a gap can be seen
Its usual to have a gap of about 1-2mm.
How does the 3 3500 compare to Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 4300? I can get both for the same price and I've read that it's a close call between 4300 and 2 2500. But what about 3 3500?
Without writing a big essay of the differences it is a pretty similar scenario. Comparable but different. Both clean the teeth well. The Sonicare has the better battery life and feels more premium, but the Oral-B has a pressure sensor and works out more cost effective long term because the heads are cheaper.
How much pressure should you apply ? It’s all well and good the pressure sensor indicating too much pressure, but what about optimal pressure ?
Good question Max. You only want a relatively light pressure. It is a bit tricky to explain, but you certainly don't want much.
Electric Teeth
About the toothbrush itself - I find the indented power button unintuitive, many times i switch modes instead of turning the thing off. Should have had 2 dedicated buttons like my old Oral B. Was this a cost cutting measure ?
Interesting Max. I can see and agree to some extend with what you are saying. Pressing & holding for 2 seconds will turn the brush off.
I don't know the exact reason. I suspect reliability and durability was more likely a reason than cost. A second button gives a potential additional wear/failure point. This is a guess rather than fact.
Electric Teeth
Like I said, it’s a not a big deal and definitely not a deal breaker. Having said that, i do appreciate the all plastic handle, the rubber coated handles do collect grime as you pointed out in your written reviews.
I’ll note as well that whilst the handle is assembled in Germany, the charger meanwhile is made in Hungary. Those chargers were always made in Germany, perhaps in the future their handles will also be produced offshore !
Just bought this toothbrush. Is it normal for it to not turn off after the two minutes? My previous one (different brand) did this so I was surprised when it just kept going.
This is normal. Just press and hold the power button for 1-2 seconds.
bought the 3500.. this thing is insanely loud
It's not quiet true. But cleans the teeth well.
Hi Jon, what is the difference between Pro 3 3000 and Pro 2 2000?
I have a video coming soon to explain this Leo. But, if its ok with you in the meantime I will direct you to the following written comparison, which lists & explains the differences - www.electricteeth.com/uk/oral-b-pro-2-2000-vs-pro-3-3000/
Is the non 3 Pro 3000 still good?? The Pro 2/3 is not available in my country.
It will clean your teeth just as well all things considered. The battery life isn't as good, but not necessarily a deal breaker.
What do you mean by -non- pro??
Can this brush connect to the oral-b app?
No, it cannot.
When do you know you’re on sensitive mode ? I have the sensitive addition
It is all down to how many times you press the power button.
Press it once to turn the brush on and launch 'Daily Clean' mode. Press it again to select 'Sensitive' mode.
@@ElectricTeeth thanks for you answer😊
Can you connect this with the app via Bluetooth?
No, you can't. It doesn't have Bluetooth.
Is there any way of keeping it on one setting?
I bought this a few weeks back and it's already driving me mad waiting to use the full power mode. Or is there a quick way to get to this?
The default cleaning mode is the Daily Clean mode which is the most powerful mode on the toothbrush.
@@ElectricTeeth hmm mine defaults to a mode where it starts off at mid power and gradually gets less powerful and goes into an intermittent brush. I'm only able to use the max power mode after a couple of minutes and after turning it off and on a few times
Something isn't quite right with your brush by the sounds of it.
Just ordered the twin pack on amazon £67 🤙
HELLO, Do you know the oral b pro ultra?
I am not sure I do. The 'ultra' part of the name might be referring to the 'Sensi UltraThin' brush heads. Do you have a link or something to share.
How do u charge it it’s not a standard Uk plug???
It comes with a 2 pin plug suitable for shaver/power outlets found in many UK bathrooms.
To recharge from a 3 pin UK socket you need to purchase a 2 to 3 pin adapter.
Can we pair this to the phone app ?
No, it has no Bluetooth connectivity.
Oral-B Smart 6 6000N which comes with 3 heads or this? I'm confused.
6000n costs 65 and this costs 40 pounds here in the UK.
This in my opinion.
@@ElectricTeeth Just wanted to know if paying 25 pounds extra for 6000N is worth it or not? Please help me to clear my doubt.
@@ElectricTeeth Thanks
No I don't think so. They both clean the teeth as well as each other. 6000 with give some 'smart' features but far from essential.
What is the life expectancy of such models, i wouldn't like to buy so that it breaks after a couple of months
As a general rule an electric toothbrush will last 3-5 years. Many last a lot longer.
How long before you need to replace the head?
Every 3 months on average
Is it worth getting different heads?
For the most part no. If you have sensitive teeth/gums then the Sensi UltraThin head is a good option.
Our most recommended heads are this and the CrossAction.
does this device good for taking care teeth with braces? i already ordered online the white one that come with sensitive brushes
Yes, it's good and safe for braces.
@@ElectricTeeththanks!!
Thanks for review. I have ordered the 2 2000 and it beat to my teeth 🦷 and I don’t feel comfortable. I tried other one Pro 500 (and Pro 750) and it feels much better, because it only rotated, and not have vibration. Maybe mine has some defect? I think will I get any benefits if I will switch to the Pro 3000? Thanks
Anton. I am not sure if you have used an electric toothbrush before? It can take some time to get used to it.
The Pro 500 & 750 will help clean your teeth effectively, but there are benefits to the Pro 2 2000 and 3 3000.
It is possible the Pro 2 2000 is faulty, but I can't say without handling it. The cleaning power is quite intense. This would be the same with the Pro 3 3000, so if you don't get on with the 2000, you wont get on with the 3000.
@@ElectricTeeth Decided also to try the new iO 6 model. Waiting when it will arrive. Want to compare with 2 2000 model. Maybe such beats from toothbrush is okay. I felt much more comfortable with a rotating series without 3D feature, it just rotating and cleans teeth super good. Then upgraded to 2 2000 just to have a Li-Ion battery to charge rarely, and it was surprising to me that it not just rotating, but also vibrating too much. My wife tried once and returned to her Pro 1 model (750). For her it’s much more gentle
@@AntonDanilchenko Hi, did the io 6 worked for you?
is better pro 3 or the ios series?
Pro 3 - as per our video - ua-cam.com/video/k6LQtP2F9Vk/v-deo.html
Any toothbrush under 50€ you reccomended?
This should come in around the 50€ price point. If not, look at the Vitality 100.
@@ElectricTeeth vitality 100 is 15€ where I live. I think I will buy the Pro 3 3500. Thanks you 👍👍👍👍
Pro smart 3000, you have to push to hard to activate the brush, my thumb hurts!
4:22 The year is 2021 and it takes 12 hours to charge!!! What's going on?
There are some models that charger quicker. The Oral-B iO 7, 8 & 9 charge in 3 hours. How quickly do you need it to charge?
Does it really take 12 hours to charge??? It should be like 3-4 hours max for a battery this size.
It does.
Better this one or Smart 4500?
This.
Does it connect to the oral b app
No. It is not Bluetooth enabled.
is it have water resistant?
Yes, it is water resistant.
I need 2 which I can get for €108 or I can get 2 io8’s for €840…. Worth the extra money?
No. Pro 3 all the way.
@@ElectricTeeth thank you for the reply, there was only two left so ill have to use a pink one 🤣
Better motor than Vitaly Pro?
Yes.
20 days battery life is more then decent.
Never near such a long battery time with my Pro 3, but less than a week!
Hi is this good for gum disease?
It depends on the severity, but if you have early stage gum disease, this is a great option, particulalrly when paired with a softer bristled head like the Sensi UltraThin.
It’s not early stage but it’s in control where the gums are not bleeding
It should be fine then. If you want the added peace of mind, take advice from your dentist who can advise based on your personal circumstances.
@@ElectricTeeth wil do thank you
thanks!😁😁😁😁
#Electricteeth Hey i just picked these exact toothbrush the 3000 series to be precise for 15.95 euro, i bought it from a big mall, but the weird thing that the offer was just on the one i bought and not the other same product, if anyone could maybe explain to me why normally would be these special offers and, thanks in advance.
Oral-B & their stockists can do some crazy deals at times. It can be to promote sales through specific times of year etc and move stock they might be holding.
@ElectricTeeth appreciate your response, thanks for the quality video and for your connection to your viewers and for responding in no time.
I don’t recommend the 2500 as I bought that a few years back and the rubber comes away after a year or so! In the end I’ve bought a new toothbrush so I feel like it wasn’t saving money in the end
Thank
Review the oral b 9000 rose gold one lol I have that one but I looooooove manual tooth brushes lol
We have reviewed the Genius 9000 some time ago. It wasn't the gold one, but the only difference is colour.
Never have an electric toothbrush with such a low battery time than this Pro 3! Never near 14-20 days as you says, but less than a week! Its so annoying its a real deal breaker!
Do you brush for more than 2 minutes each time? If you are getting less than 2 weeks with 2, 2 minute brushing sessions each day it seems like something isn't quite right.
What about between pro 3 3000 and pro 3 3700
From what I can see the Pro 3 3700 has an extra brush head in the box. No travel case. So technically the same as the Pro 3 3000, but an extra brush head.
use flaw only once in week
everyone i know have been getting 4 for £2. and i dont know who wrong here....
I bought this after using Vitality Pro for 6 months and this is much noisier even thought more expensive (paid 58€).
Maybe it's because I got used to Vitalitys sensitive mode.
Bought one of these a year ago. It’s stopped working out of the blue. Won’t switch on. Also super slippery in the Hand. Won’t buy it again
Have you contacted Oral-B about getting it repaired? It comes with a 2 year warranty.
No I’ve replaced it with the io 3 after watching your video . Will see how that holds up. Hoping it was just a once off.
Are you finding the iO3 better than the Pro 3?
I’ve tried it for a few weeks now. I enjoy the new motor but I am struggling with the pressure light. I spend more time focussing on trying to keep it in the green band than on the actual brushing. Would have been better with just the red light activation
I thought you were playing a character when I saw how big ur eyes looked in ur glasses, but good video presentation.
Hey hi!
I want to buy one Electric but I dont know which one?
I dont need any app, artificial Intelligence, computer or something like that. I just need something that clean good my teeth and no more. The price is not a Problem but I am Only looking for the right one.
Which one do u recommend me, please?.
Genius X would be a good decision? Or better pro 3 3000 or any other?.
I am really confused.
Vielen Dank im Voraus! 🫡
Go for the Oral-B Pro 3 3000. Or the Pro 3 3500 with the travel case. Job done. Affordable, good performance. 👍
@@ElectricTeeth that is my decision as well
Thx! 🙏
Can you connect this with the app via Bluetooth?
