But now the Braun Oral-B PRO 3000: Compared to the previous models has this electric toothbrush a (felt) much higher frequency pulses. Especially good we found the Pressure sensor, which means us a highly visible red light in the upper area indicating if we press on too strong while brushing. Probably we have done this always wrong in the previous models (which is also expressed in a high brush attachment-wear) - but if you really do not know better. It has already lasted a couple of days until we got used to the correct pressure. The integrated timer function is certainly a beautiful thing, if it is not itself in the sense of how long it should take tooth brushing - therefore we use this function rather rare.
According to the manufacturer to a fully charged battery hold up to 7 days. We can so far (after nearly 3 weeks and invite 2x) confirm. Whether this will remain so in the future remains to be seen. However, we now disconnect the charger from the power base and then plug the power cord into the socket when the toothbrush visually indicating (also with LED light) that the battery is nearing the end.
When Oral-B Pro 3000 you can select different options when brushing between three: the standard mode for normal clean, the massage mode for gentle gum cleaning Sensitive and a mode for cleaning of sensitive areas. In daily use, we have always used is actually the default mode - the other two functions, we will certainly also test times. The only small (easy to verschmerzender) Disadvantage: The switching on of the toothbrush works means pressing the central button - the toothbrush after brushing off again then you have to either press 3 x on this button or that hold a bit longer. Reason: This button allows simple switching on and off next to the driver to shift to the next mode ("Clean On" - "Sensitive" - "massage" - "Off").
How should it be otherwise, the fourth toothbrush from Oral-B series has convinced us. Therefore, we can issue a full purchase recommendation. Even our dentist, it is then noticed that we have switched from a 08/15 manual toothbrush on the electrical nature of toothbrushing - since less tartar and less irritated gums.
