Oral-B Toothbrush, Pro 5000 Smartseries Power Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush with Bluetooth Connectivity - Black

This is my second Oral-B electric toothbrush purchase. I needed to replace my 6000 model purchased ten years ago due to the battery no longer charging. After reading the reviews on the multitude of Oral-B toothbrushes now available, I wanted to avoid the most glaring problem that I never experienced with the 6000, and that was the mold/mildew issue associated with the internal connection between the brush head and the power unit. After much research, I found that the 5000 had the old internal design and brush head that did not cause the mold/mildew issue. The Oral-B does a fabulous job of thoroughly cleaning all of the teeth in your mouth as verified by continuously good dental appointment outcomes. The staff at the dental office where I purchased my first Oral-B recommended that to ensure the longest possible battery life, do not keep the device on a continuous charge. Let the device run down the battery charge to the battery warning and then recharge. This advice worked, as my 6000 lasted ten years and I hope for the same with my new 5000.

The OralB 5000 is an exceptional electric toothbrush. I have been using OralB electric toothbrushes for over 30 years. OralB offers their IO series, however, I feel it is all marketing. The OralB 5000 has five different settings, very easy to use out of the box. You can also sync it to the app to view brushing habits like the IO. I purchased on Walmart while on sale and saved significantly from what was being offered on the Oral B website and Amazon. In my view, it was an excellent purchase.
