I have had this brush for a few weeks now and I absolutely love it. It was quite a surprise when I opened the box to see all of the kit it comes with. Inside the box you get the handle and 4 different styles of heads to attach to it. The 4 heads are a cross action head, a floss action head, a 3D clean head and a sensitive head. It is great that you get a selection of heads to try as it gives you the opportunity to test which one is most suitable for you. I haven't tried all of them sufficiently yet to decide on my favourite but I am currently erring toward the cross action.As well as the actual toothbrush included inside of the box is a Smart Guide which you use in your bathroom to compliment the brush.It has a brushing timer on to ensure that you are brushing for the recommended minimum of 2 minutes. It also records where and how you spend your time brushing and if you need to be splitting your time more evenly between the 4 quadrants of your mouth. There is also a notification if you are pressing too hard.This brush uses rechargeable batteries so you get a docking station to charge the toothbrush in which has a space for the spare heads. There is a carry case included for when you go away overnight or on holiday etc which I think is an excellent idea (as you don't want a fluffy toothbrush!)When you first charge the toothbrush it recommends that you do so for 16 hours. I plugged mine in and left it overnight and it was all ready for the next day. Once you have selected and fitted your choice of head you are almost ready to go.This brush has bluetooth connectivity so you can download an app on to your smartphone which communicates with the brush and it stores various data relating to your brushing habits.This is really easy to set-up and you are given step by step instructions on the app. Both the app and the smart guide tell you when you have spent sufficient time brushing in that area and when its time to move on.As well as the sensor on the smart guide there is also a flashing light on the brush itself which tells you if you are pressing too hard and every 30 seconds you get a buzzing sound to indicate that its time to move on. So even if you do not have a smartphone or do not want to install the app you are still able to use the brush as intended.After cleaning my teeth I always make sure to rinse the brush and the head carefully to ensure that any build up of toothpaste etc is removed.I absolutely love the way my teeth feel after I have cleaned with this brush. They just feel so smooth and you can really see the difference. It is very effective and I would highly recommend it to any looking to upgrade or replace their current brush.It looks (and acts) like a very expensive piece of kit! My only criticism if I had to make one would be that its a shame that the body is so slick but the heads are not the same colour so they really stand out. It makes me feel as if I've not bought the official heads and am using an alternative or something. Other than this very minor detail I am very happy indeed!

The latest Oral-B toothbrush is the best I have ever owned (having had 2 of their previous models over many years) and definitely comes with a recommendation from me for anyone wanting to upgrade their current brush.Positives of this model include the multi-functionality, with modes for deep clean, gentle clean, whitening, gum cleaning etc and the fact that the switch for these functions is a separate button to the on/off power button. In the past I have struggled with my gums bleeding, which is why my dentist recommended an electric toothbrush for me in the first place. Because of this I tend to use the gentle/sensitive clean function a lot, and have never once had this issue whilst using it.For anyone having a similar issue, this has certainly done the trick for me so I would recommend trying it yourself. It also leaves teeth feeling really clean, and it is easy to switch to a more intensive cleaning mode for those areas where plaque is more prone to build up. As it is, you can tailor the toothbrushing experience to exactly how you wish.This brush comes with a 2 minute timer included, to ensure you are brushing healthily. One thing I find excellent about this is that if you turn the brush off, which I have done occasionally mid-brush in order to change the head I am using, then the time pauses with you, and so it doesn't reset to a full 2 minute brush time again. The timer is simply for use alongside the brush too and whilst the brush does vibrate every 30 second to allow you to 'change quadrant' and keep aware of the time, it doesn't automatically turn off after 2 minutes is up, and so you can brush for longer if you prefer.There is an excellent range of heads included in the box and so you can sample pretty much the whole Oral-B head range and thus decide which ones are your preference for re-buying.The in-built Bluetooth which allows you to pair the brush with the app is a really interesting feature for this brush and help you to keep on top of your daily dental hygiene more precisely if you so wish. I don't personally use the app most of the time, but it is easy to use and does everything you could want it to, including allowing you to set targets with whitening plans and so on.The only negative I have with this brush is that it's charging cable is equipped with the two pronged plug for a shaver point and so if you don't have one of these in your bathroom then an adaptor is essential to purchase alongside this.This model also has a fairly chunky handle, and so may not be the best for younger teens in terms of comfort when using (it is not recommended for use by those under 12 anyway).Overall this brush is fantastic for ensuring good dental hygiene, with or without the Bluetooth feature. It is a bit on the pricey side, but is worth it as it is the only brush you will need and also comes with a travel case included, which is handy for taking it on the go, meaning you shouldn't need a manual toothbrush ever again.

I decided to order this Oral-B smart series toothbrush because my basic toothbrush was old and the battery was dissipating much faster. I was browsing through Amazon store and came across this daily deal for this smart series toothbrush at a reduction of 78%. I decided to purchase this as it was a offer I could not refuse. when I was unpacking this product there was many pieces in the box, but it was packed securely and well protected. 99% of the items in the box was easy to identify, but there was one particular item that had me puzzled for a short while. I knew it was some sort of stand but couldn’t figure out where it belonged and after a while I realised that it had to be attached to the back of the clock.

Wow, it's like visiting the dentist after every use. Perfect quality and great to use. I highly recommend it, make sure to take advantage of Amazon's free £5 promo code when purchasing £30 Amazon Gift Cards (ends 18 June 2017), that will shave £5.00 off your purchase.Update 15/07/2017:- In addition to its cleaning power, the Oral-B 6500 toothbrush managed to deliver up to 9 days of usage (2 brushes per day 2 – 3 mins each), which is really good.- After using the toothbrush for over a month, I found myself using only one mode, despite having 6 modes. I think because there is no screen to display which mode you are using, I intend to stick with the first one (Daily Clean mode),

While this is at heart the same sort of electric toothbrush Braun has become expert in creating, this one is a bit of a Rolls-Royce model, with several extra features.The handle is significantly chunkier than a standard Oral-B handle, housing a larger battery that lasts for at least ten days (in my experience it actually lasts rather longer). Rather than wraparound blue or pink, this one is much smarter, with black front and back and silver sides. It has Bluetooth, which allows you to monitor your brushing on an included wall-mountable display, and using an app on your smartphone (I use the iPhone variant of the app, but I believe it is available for other phone platforms too).

I don't know what I ever did without an electric toothbrush. Nothing, apart from a dental hygienist visit, compares with the just-brushed, super clean feel you get from using one. My brush of choice is a Sonicare one, from another manufacturer, so I was both pleased and intrigued to review this offering from Oral-B to see how it would compare.The Smart Series 6500 certainly is feature rich. It comes with 3 different brush heads, a travel case, a timer/clock, a charging station with a two pin plug (as used in most bathrooms) and the handle itself. The handle features bluetooth connectivity and successfully sends data to a smartphone app on which you can view your brushing habits and get some decent feedback on how you brush,

I want to do this toothbrush justice by being as thorough as possible because I think it must be the best toothbrush on the market!Appearance: Sleek, modern and with blue lights.Bluetooth: "Why would you need Bluetooth?" Well my husband can be a tad neglectful of brushing his teeth. Now things have changed. As a bit of a tech/geek the idea of a Bluetooth toothbrush had him at hello! The Bluetooth connects with your phone or iPad /tablet as soon as it is lifted from the charger base. It's very simple to connect.The APP: Clear, modern and in keeping with the black of the toothbrush. The achievements on the APP have got my hubby hooked and I think he wants to gain all of the 'Trophies'

A toothbrush with bluetooth might well seem an over-engineering step too far but, actually, having used one for a while and made the switch from an oral-b brush with integrated timer, it's actually a great way of making sure you stick to the discipline of brushing your teeth for 2 mins and it offers more modes of brushing than more basic brushes, giving you the option to use the brush in polishing, sensitive, deep clean, tongue and daily clean mode. It's really simple to use and you can keep track of your brushing either via the wireless timer or by installing the app it comes with. I've done both but have to confess that I find the app a step too far as it's a bit naggy - the visual timer is

I was really excited when I was given the opportunity to try out the Oral B SmartSeries 6500 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush with Bluetooth (I really should get out more). Not only because I was interested to see how far products had changed since I purchased my last electric brush a few years ago, but also because I had literally no idea why you would need Bluetooth on your toothbrush?!I've been using the brush for about a month now, so The big question is : do I need Bluetooth on my toothbrush. Honestly? No. Do I like having Bluetooth on my toothbrush? Yes! I love it! The Bluetooth is used to connect the toothbrush to a timer device that comes supplied with it. This provides feedback at a basic level,

After using this tooth brush for 6 months now I think it’s time I reviewed it. I wanted to purchase a tooth brush that would make my teeth feel as clean as when I visit the dentist but I couldn’t justify paying a ridiculous amount of money. After lots of research I came across this Oral B smart series 6500 and decided this was the one for me. When the tooth brush arrived I was impressed with the packaging, everything was secure and in its place, the box contains the tooth brush handle, tooth brush heads, timer, stand, case and charge cable. I charged the tooth brush for 24 hours as the booklet said and by the next morning I was ready to go! It is simple to use, you turn it on by one button and then (if you wish)

This is a good addition to the Oral-B range with some questionable capabilities.It is an excellent toothbrush, with different modes of operation which will fit varied needs, including modes friendly for children.The brush comes with a wonderful little screen that can be placed nearby, or stuck on the wall/mirror that operates as a clock when the brush is not in use, and offers a timer when in use. The timer function comes on automatically when the brush is switched on, and if you brush for the recommended (selected) time, then you get stars as a reward which is great fun for the kids and an incentive to brush for the 2' you should.The brush comes with 4 different heads, which is great.Now the questionable stuff.

This brush is pretty hardcore, I'm not going to lie. I mean bluetooth. BLUETOOTH on an instrument you use to brush your teeth. Who would've thought?In itself, it's got the standard Braun quality (well built, functional) that you'd expect. The modes it has are nice too - 'deep clean' for when you've got a minute extra at the weekend to spend on those good old teeth you take for granted as you innocently munch your toast (or breakfast bar) in the morning. Tongue cleaning slows the brush down a bit so its a bit more pleasant. Gum massages are a bit of a grey area (not actually grey, otherwise you have a problem) - I personally don't like the sensation but each to their own.

About seven years ago I acquired a higher end Oral-B Triumph toothbrush. This had chips inside some brushing heads which indicated when they needed replacing and also set the correct brushing mode automatically. Sadly, most heads did not contain the chips, and those that did were expensive anyway. It looks as though Braun have quietly dropped the idea.This handle comes with a range of heads heads. It has one more mode than the 6000, a tongue cleaning mode. (I only ever use standard and whitening anyway.) Its smart monitor is smarter and more compact, though basically the same in function, ie, indicating when to change zones in your mouth, plus the brushing mode. When the brush is not operating,

Am astounded by the effectiveness of this toothbrush. To be honest I thought my teeth looked clean enough with my Philips sonicare that I've had for about seven years now. Boy was I wrong.While I haven't mastered the timer thing (honestly this seems a bit sort of finicky and unnecessary) the toothbrush far surpasses anything I have ever tried. In just one two minute try before bed I saw SUCH a difference I had never expected. My teeth not only looked several shades whiter than they had been but they were actually sparkling like white diamonds! (honestly no exaggeration). I can't believe how clean they look and feel.I used the little round brush with the plastic tabs that flick round (didn't notice what this was called)

It's a great toothbrush. The bluetooth clock display thingy is great. When you turn the brush on, it immediately starts to tell you which quadrant of your mouth to brush and when you should change, and when you're done it indicates how good of a job you did, which is nice. Always good to get a bit of approval in the morning, even if it is from a simplistic smiley face on a clock that's wirelessly connected to your toothbrush.The toothbrush has a bunch of modes, I'm not even sure what all of them do, but I use the sensitive mode because I have a tendency to overbrush, and my wife uses the regular mode. These work well, and there's an obvious difference between them.
