What about suggesting to Braun to change it, so warning comes early enough to allow you at least one, 2 minutes brushing cycle to finish? Reply Take a look at the Oral-B Brush Head Holder/Stand (Holds 2 brush heads) or Oral-B Brush Head Holder/Tray with Lid (Holds 4 brush heads). Reply It is not a significant price difference, but it is reasonable given the price range these brushes find themselves in. Oral-B’s oscillating-rotating brush heads are smaller than the sonic style from the likes of Sonicare. They do make it easier to reach the tightest of spaces. Behind this is an LED that lights up to produce a bright red light when too much pressure is detected during the brushing. It goes out as soon as the pressure is reduced.

Hi Jon, based on your very informative and helpful review I also went for the Oral B pro 2 2500. I’ve had the brush for just over a week now and on the whole I am happy with it. I also have not experienced 2 weeks of battery life. I charged it fully after unboxing and have used it for about 6 days and the red light has already come on to indicate low battery. This makes me think the brush probably does not travel well particularly without the charger. Reply For the most part it is identical to the Pro 2 2500, the only difference being it doesn’t come with a travel case and the colour is different. The pacer is activated from the moment the brush is powered on, momentarily pausing the brushing action every 30 seconds to tell you to move on to the next part of the mouth. There are 4 sections in total and you need to brush the inner, outer, and biting surfaces of the teeth during this time.Thanks for the review. I’ve bought this model and have since noticed toothpaste in liquid form has made its way into the section at the top of the brush handle where the metal prong comes out and connects to the brush head. Can you please tell me if it’s okay and safe to clean this section (once the brush head is removed) under running water? If it’s not do you know what’s the best way of preventing and/or clearing up the paste that makes its way inside the handle? I’m concerned that this could eventually damage the brush if not cleaned. Thanks again. Reply Right at the top of the brush handle is a metal prong, this is what the brush head connects to and feeds the power from the brush motor. I want to let you know that as differences in electric toothbrushes go, the number here is limited. The 2 brushes are very similar.

I just bought PRO 2 2000 White version and noticed it auto turns off after about 4 minutes 30 seconds. Is this normal? Review doesn’t mention anything about auto turn off. Braun claims it doesn’t auto turn off after 2 minutes. Reply The transparent icons light up when on charge or when the battery is low. This is where one of the small criticisms of this rush comes in.I will be the first to tell you that Oral-B does appear to make their range of products more confusing than they perhaps need to be. So, I hope to keep this explanation of the differences as clear as possible. As standard, the 2500 comes with a 2 year/24 month warranty. But, register it online and you get an extra year for free, no cost so 36 months or 3 years in total.

Another neat design feature is the rear-mounted pressure sensor, which illuminates red to tell you you’re applying too much force and pressure to the teeth during cleaning. Acting as a visual indicator, it really helps to make you more aware of any bad brushing habits you've fallen into thus reducing the chance of you doing any damage to the teeth. It’s a simple yet clever design detail that works exceptionally well and helps you to brush your teeth the way your dentist would want. Hi Thomas. To my knowledge, both models offer up to 9,900 oscillations and 45,000 pulsations. Reply A full charge can take up to 15 hours. It is however perfectly fine to take it off charge sooner as it is fine to leave the brush on the stand.Great comparison but there is an error. The third cleaning mode on oral b brushes is gym care mode. This is the mode where the brush fades up and down in power. This is gum care not whitening. Whitening mode is nothing more than extending the pace timer divisions to increase the brushing time. Reply The Pro 2 2500 is a UK & European model. There are similar models for the USA or elsewhere. I can advise when I know more. Reply Therabody TheraFace PRO review: facial therapy device that gives fresher, tighter and healthier skin
