Then again I am not all that surprised, because as far as I am aware, the Pro 1 680 has the same battery as the original Pro 680 and the Pro 600 brushes, which for as long as I can remember have been advertised with a 1 week battery life. The reality is, you could use any mode on the brush to clean your tongue just ending the clean sooner. Although the speed and number of oscillations will be different. Here at Electric Teeth to try and give a benchmark for comparison, we like to price the brush over a 3 year period. Whilst the pink or blue handle may appeal to you, each brush does the same job of cleaning the teeth and they all do that really well. When pressed it starts and stops the one cleaning mode on this brush, which I will cover in more detail very shortly.

Oral B Pro 570 Electric Toothbrush - ALDI UK

As you move up the Oral-B range, the brushes become more expensive, but they do come with additional features and accessories. We regard these as “nice-to-have” rather than essential. There is no battery in the case, to charge the brush and anything connected via the USB cable the case has to be connected to mains power. The outer box is primarily blue in colour, with the brush inside pictured on the front. In this case it is the Pro 1 680 in pink with the travel case included. There is a single button on the front of the brush handle, that stands out because it is white in colour.With only a couple of slight differences between these two models, the Pro 3 3000 is the more premium and expensive of the two. But it doesn’t make it the one to go for. Once the 2 minutes are up 3 brief pauses in the brush motor will be heard and felt. This is your cue that the clean is over. If you don’t hear or feel these pauses, keep brushing, you haven’t achieved 2 minutes. Making the brush feel particularly secure in hand is the rubber grip that runs down the front of the handle. Of course, it is your money and ultimately your decision, but I want you to know that Oral-B brushes in the UK actually sell for around 50% less than retail most of the time. With some variants you will get a design printed on the case. This is a leafy pattern and is typically pink or blue in colour. It makes the case stand out a little more and be a little less boring.

Power isn’t normally promoted or documented as it is a small part of the toothbrushing experience. More power doesn’t necessarily equal a better clean. Your total brushing time and technique have a big part to play.At the top of the handle is a metal shaft that extends from the motor inside the handle. It is to this that the brush head fits. The blue bristles within the head will fade over time to a pale blue/translucent colour. This is a cue for you to change. I do like the small round brush heads. They are easy to move around the mouth and provide a great clean to the teeth. The brush head supplied will depend on the variant selected, but it is one of a number of different brush head styles available from Oral-B.
