Oral-B 7850DLX Professional Care Power Toothbrush Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you are like me, then you have just returned from the dentist and have vowed to take better care of your teeth.
This toothbrush is a great buy!
Pros:
1. Teeth feel cleaner compared to brushing with a regular toothbrush. I will never go back to regular toothbrushing again. It's just more convenient and most of us are probably brushing incorrectly anyway.
2. small brush head to reach the "hard to reach" places, like the molars.
3. easy to use.
4. replacement brush heads are relatively inexpensive.
5. price for the unit is not too bad.
6. big difference in performance as compared to the $15 base oral b electronic toothbrush i use to own.
7. 2 speed option just in case. (i dont really care for this feature).
8. great for taking care of the gums. I use to focus more on brushing my teeth, but with this toothbrush it helps take care of the gum line too.

Cons:
1. the toothbrush heads can be detached and stored but the problem is that after a couple of days it gets dirty in the storage area. just be sure to clean that area out frequently as you do not want to keep use a toothbrush that has a bunch of bacteria on it.
2. while the small brush heads make it convenient to reach harder places, you have to keep in mind that there is less surface area for the brush head so you literally have to brush tooth by tooth which takes a longer.
3. brushing can get a bit messy.
4. no auto shut-off feature (discussed below).
5. not as satisfied when trying to clean my tongue and below the tongue. (could be because of the small brush head)
Compared with Sonicare 7500.
1. price- oral b has price going for it.
2. reliability- this is arguable but i have never had any problems whatsoever with previous oral b products. While reading the reviews of the sonicare models I came across some reviews that indicated problems here and there. (i just didnt want to deal with that type of problem.)
3. RPM - the oral b model spins at approx. 40,000 rpm vs 31,000 rpm for the sonicare. i really dont know how much a factor the difference in speed helps but i assume that faster is better (?).
4. both the oral b and the sonicare models feature oscillating heads. (although not noted on the oral b description). (again, i dont know how much it helps having an oscillating feature).
5. No auto shut off feature- The Oral B does not have this feature, while the sonicare does. The reason why i believe this is an important feature is because at 40,000 rpm's you don't know exactly how much pressure is ok to use with the Oral B. At least with the sonicare, if you are using too much pressure, it shuts off automatically. Incorrect brushing can cause excessive wear and tear on portions of the teeth- such as with the enamel. Especially with the rise in use of whitening toothpastes that have more granules and such, you can do damage to the outer layer of the teeth. just keep in mind that you do not want to use too much pressure while brushing.
6. curiosity- being that we always want things that we dont have, i am curious as to how the sonicare performs.
Conclusion: great buy, and i am now a believer of electronic toothbrushes. i have tried regular brushing and it just doesnt feel the same anymore. dont expect this toothbrush to do miracles because in the end its a toothbrush. Even so, it performs as promised and my next dentist appointment will hopefully confirm that the health of my teeth and gums have improved. Price is reasonable and i do not foresee any issues with reliability.
