In addition to the body of the toothbrush is obtained two different brush heads. Once a CrossAction brush and even a Sensitive Brush. If you want to use the handpiece for two, which is likely to be the rule rather than the exception in a normal two-person household, it is therefore the same, at least to buy another brush. For this purpose a small charger is included, where you can "park" and two brushes.
The Pulsationstechnik is well known from the Oral-B series. There may be sensitive user bothers me not at the pulsation. (In contrast, I had already times a copy with ultrasound, which I could not use. Not said Sonivare!) To 40,000 pulsations at 8,800 lateral movements, it brings the handpiece. I have counted but not both. Here you can choose among three different cleaning modes: normal cleaning, sensitive and one for the gums. The two enclosed brushes to be used in all modes for the gums, I recommend, however, the softer brush.
About a Pressure sensor has the Pro 3000 as an interval timer, which makes itself felt every 30 seconds (with firm pressure to a light will come on). The cleaning result is flawless, without question. A consultation with my specialist prophylaxis revealed that she prefers the Oral-B of the Sonicare. But be both recommended principle.
The battery takes time to be fully charged. Up to 22 hours from the completely empty state. When 2 cleaning operations of 2 minutes the battery lasts one week. For two people so only 3 to 4 days. But the battery is said to have a much longer life than older versions. That would be nice, but the batteries are at Braun (as with other manufacturers of electric toothbrushes) permanently installed and can not be changed. The future is certainly a point at which all manufacturers must work. But perhaps this keeps battery also eternal.
Whether you're spending this amount for a toothbrush ready every Oral-B decides at the end for themselves. Pro 3000 is priced indeed "only" in half of the current top models of the 7000 series. And a professional dental prophylaxis is for a private patient and not cheaper. Overall, definitely a recommendation on my part.
