Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Oral-B has a number of brushes available - the Sonic, Vitality, the Professional Care family (which comprises the 1000 and 3000), and the Professional Care SmartSeries (4000 and 5000). The Oral-B 1000 is the entry level of the Professional Care series.
In my usage of the Vitality and the Oral-B 1000, the Oral-B 1000 stands at the minimum level of functionality to make an electric toothbrush viable.
In particular, note that the Vitality does not have a quadrant timer (it beeps only at the end of the 2-minute cycle), is rated at only 7600 oscillations per second, and does not have a battery charging indicator. All of which are present just one level up in the Professional Care 1000.
To me the lack of a quadrant timer is a big disappointment - I don't want to be watching a clock while brushing if I don't have to. The gentle thrumming of the Professional Care 1000 every 30 seconds is a very nice pacer.
The brushes in the Professional Care series not only add quadrant timers, but also are rated both at 8800 oscillations per second and at 40,000 pulsations per second, and have battery charge indicators.
As you go higher in the Professional Care family you get multiple brush modes (daily clean, sensitive, polish, deep clean), pressure sensors, and even wireless displays.
Overall, I found the Vitality to be lacking features that I rely on. Hence my rating. I'd strongly recommend that you consider the Professional Care 1000 as the minimum entry level functionality for a brush. You'll probably find (like I did) that you don't need much more than what the Professional Care 1000 has to offer.
Happy Brushing!
