Pro:
- It can clean teeth very well. Much better than manual toothbrushes. Much better than Crest Spinbrush. I am very happy to have it.
- It takes 2 AA rechargeable batteries. A full charged hybrid batteries will last more than 2 weeks. (it depends on how long your batteries hold the charge). Alkaline batteries last a month. So it is very useful for traveling.
- Since the batteries are removable, you can use different set of batteries until the toothbrush broken. Note that, you can not replace the batteries in any toothbrushes with built-in rechargeable batteries and one of the most common reason for a toothbrush ends its useful live is the death of its built-in batteries.
- If you want to save the environment and you don’t want to throw dead batteries into garbage cans then you don’t like toothbrushes with built-in rechargeable batteries. It is very hard to remove the batteries from the unit to handle them properly.
- This is the least expensive electric toothbrush from Oral-B. But it performs really well.
- This toothbrush uses the same refill brushes that other expensive models use. So you get similar result for much less money.
Con:
- This one does not have a timer. You can pay couple more dollar to get the one (also from Oral-B) with the timer.
- People reported that this toothbrush lasts from 1 to 2 years. Well, the most expensive (about 9 times more expensive) Oral-B electric toothbrush lasts from 3 to 5 years. If you do not care about other features the expensive ones offers, I think this has more value.

I have never lived in the sort of house or apartment that had counterspace near the bathroom sink — or anywhere else in the bathroom, for that matter — on which to keep electrical appliances such as a rechargeable toothbrush or a WaterPik. I always seem to have a pedestal sink or a very tiny vanity, in an old-fashioned bathroom where only flat surface is the top of the toilet tank, unless I’m lucky enough to have a window and sill.
For that reason, I love the new battery-powered electric toothbrushes, even if they don’t seem to last very long before neither new batteries nor a new brush head will bring them back to life. And for the first 58 days that I had it, I loved the Oral B Pro-Health Precision Clean best of all. The round head cleaned my sensitive teeth gently and efficiently, and the two-minute timer was very practical. But then it suddenly died in mid-brush, and new batteries would not get it working again. I even tried yet another set of new batteries, but it still would not work. Luckily, I was able to return it for a full refund before the 60-day deadline (I bought mine at CVS).
In my experience, battery-powered toothbrushes usually last more than two years before they completely wear out, but this one did not last two months. Perhaps the one I had was a fluke with a bad switch or something; I don’t know, and I hesitate to buy another one of the same model, although I will probably get another Oral-B.
