-Travel case
-Timer!
The BAD:
-None
I've tried lots of different electric toothbrushes. Most of them work pretty well. This one however, works wonders! If you're thinking that the timer/sensor is gimmicky... you're wrong. It comes with an adhesive backer so you can stick it to your mirror (or wherever you brush your chompers). I used be the person who brushed for maybe 30 seconds. But with the timer, you can't help but feel like crap for quitting early. It tells you how long you've been brushing, the battery level, if you're brushing too hard, which zone you should be brushing, and what mode you're in. AWESOME! The battery lasts for about a week, but if you're on a longer trip you can take the charge out of the base (it's tiny) and pack it with you. There are tons of different brush heads and different brush modes, depending on what you're trying to accomplish. I got this toothbrush last September and have had two dentist cleanings since then. Both times they have remarked that I'm doing an excellent job brushing, have no signs of cavities, and have the healthiest gums they've ever seen. Love this toothbrush.

Customer Review: Awesome toothbrush!
Summary: 5 Stars
I had been using the Oral-B $10 electric toothbrush for a while and was fairly satisfied with it until my last dentist's appointment, the assistant kept mentioning plaque buildup on my teeth and asked what I was brushing with. After reading a bunch of online reviews, I settled on the Braun/Oral-B SmartSeries 5000 brush and some extra replacement heads. Upon receiving the toothbrush, I was a little surprised at how large the handle is, but the brush heads are small enough to move around and focus on one tooth at a time, which is awesome. The polishing head is amazing, with the right toothpaste it feels like a dentist's cleaning! The flossing head seems to do its job, the long rubber flappers seem to reach further into the crevices between my teeth than an average toothbrush, although it is no substitute for actually flossing. Within the first couple days of owning this toothbrush I can already notice a difference in my teeth, they feel amazingly clean and already look a touch whiter. The stand-alone display screen is kind of goofy, but I stuck it on my bathroom mirror and don't mind it, it's always nice to have a bathroom clock.
I Highly recommend this toothbrush, those $10 electric brushes don't even compare!
Customer Review: Love love love!
Summary: 5 Stars
I decided to step further into the 21st century by purchasing an electric toothbrush. I had one in a drawer that cost under $20 that I never used because it was heavy and loud so I always thought I would stick to a manual toothbrush, much to the consternation of my dentist. After reading a few reviews and talking to my hygenist I decided on the Oral-B 5000 and love it! At first it seemed like way too much technology for something so basic, but after the short read through the manual and letting it charge I was ready to go and it only took a few uses to get the hang of. The manual was very easy to read and understand and didn't really take that long to review. Another reason that I decided on the Oral-B was because of the smaller head of the brush. A friend of mine with another brand toothbrush said that she wishes that she had thought of that when she purchased hers. It really is a great toothbrush and I do really feel that it deep cleans. My only complaint about the toothbrush is that it is sort of loud, but on the sensitive setting it isn't too bad. But if you need help waking up in the morning...maybe the noise will help! Overall I really do love it and see it as a good investment into my oral hygiene.Customer Review: Better than Sonicare Flexcare
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife and I had an older Oral B rechargeable toothbrush that lasted us about 6 years. Then we went back to manual toothbrushes for a while. We realized that the manual toothbrushes didn't leave our mouths feeling as clean as the rechargeable toothbrushes, so we decided to purchase a Sonicare Flexcare toothbrush.
We purchased the Sonicare from Amazon and tried it for a couple weeks. At first, we thought it did a very good job cleaning our teeth and gums, but it started feeling weak. I'm not sure if the toothbrush lost its full power after the first week, but the pulsating just didn't seem as good as our older Oral B.
We returned it to Amazon as it seemed defective, and purchased the Oral B Professional Series 5000. We've used it for a few days now and it draws rings around the Sonicare. The oscillating motion of the toothbrush alone leaves our teeth, gums, and overall mouth feeling much cleaner than anything we've ever used; feels almost as good as a cleaning from the dentist.
I highly recommend this toothbrush over the Sonicare. Also, we are using the Oral B Floss brush heads. They are tremendous and are much cheaper than the Sonicare brush heads as well.
Customer Review: So glad I listened to my Periodontist!
Summary: 5 Stars
For over 5 years I'd been using the Sonicare toothbrush thinking I was doing a great job on my teeth and gums. I've always had severe gum problems and have had many gum grafts. Until it dawned on me that I'm still having gum problems so I switched to a new Periodontist who informed me that the Sonicare was tearing up all my gum grafts that were done. He highly recommended the Oral B. So I switched and what a huge difference. It goes around the tooth which is what their instruments do at the dentist. After using it for a almost 3 months, I can see a huge difference! My gums and teeth feel clean but not all tore up. I can't wait to go back to the Periodontist and show him the difference in my whole mouth. The ORal B 5000 has a little digital clock that shows you when you're brushing too hard which has made a big difference in the way I brush and a 30 second timer to show you when to switch quadrants. I've always thought that really scrubbing my teeth was the way to go but not so! This brush shows you how to do it right. I'm excited about my new findings as I'm spent so much time, money and pain in improving my gums. I feel for the first time, I'm getting it right!
