The Oral B Vitality Plus White and Clean Electric Rechargeable Toothbrush is a really good electric toothbrush that will out perform, clean, polish and get plaque from the gum line better than any manual toothbrush.It is 'chunkier' than many of the new slim line Brauns so it's more of an adult's brush- smaller children and people with smaller hands of that like a slim line version need to look elsewhere.I will give some general tips later in this review.Now the whole shebang comes complete with a smart charging unit.BUT of course you will need to invest in an adaptor plug (one of those you plug this 2 prong thing to convert it into a 3 pronged UK plug)which is not provided.The actual charge time for a twice daily 2 minute clean is just 5 days.This compares poorly with the seven of other brushes. Not such a problem if you are at home but if you take it with you even on a short one week holiday you will need to to cart the charger with you (remember to take the correct adaptor with you)You then must make sure that you fully run down the toothbrush once every six months at least to ensure maximum life from the battery.A mate who was a chemistry teacher (Colin) explained this too me.A rechargeable battery is like a milk bottle.You can refill it a lot of times but if you don't rinse it there is a gradual build up of sludge on the sides- result less milk in the bottle.Similarly with a rechargeable battery you must ensure all the power is used up to be able to fully recharge it and get maximum life out of it.Shaver Adaptor (2pin To 3pin) 1ampSo if it's a gift for some one or even yourself and you do not have an adaptor you will need to get one.In BriefThe Pros2 brush heads compared to the usual mangy one from Braun.'Cup' polishing action.You can get non Oral B heads that fit for a cheap price copiesRechargeableThe NigglesNo settings for the GumsYou need an adapter to connect it to the mains.Now a few tips.1. Only use a pea sized amount of toothpaste.2. Let the brush do its work rather than try to use it like a manual toothbrush as you switch it on. (This one does tend to stall)3. Just rinse your mouth slightly. (The fluoride in the paste will find its way to your teeth better via the body digesting it.)4. If you use a baking soda type toothpaste (like the Arm and Hammer brands rinse your brush well because the soda can attack the plastic of the brush.A down side of the brush is the cost. The heads are also very highly priced. (I was right there when I wrote that)5) Get a cheapo copy of the brush heads. Read a few reviews and get the best one for the right price.BUT and this is coming from a guy who try to save a few bob I can honestly say this electric tooth brush is worth every single penny.If you think of just how much you would miss your teeth when they have gone then thisDon't you think this would be a decent investment in your health?SoIf you want to keep your teeth get an electric toothbrush like this one!Thanks for reading.

This brush is suitable for adults and children aged 3+ and has had a fair workout in our house this week; overall I'd say it does a pretty good job and is worthy of one's consideration.I'd hope most people (including children) use an electric toothbrush; they are so much better at cleaning one's teeth when compared to a manual brush. We've had electric brushes in our household for almost 20 years (eek!) and over that time there are three key points I look for when replacing a brush:How much does it cost?How much are replacement heads?How long is the guarantee?The actual effectiveness in cleaning teeth perhaps comes a surprising fourth; not because I don't care about dental hygiene,but because if one isn't constantly consuming sugar-filed junk and brushes one's teeth regularly, for the correct length of time with a decent toothpaste, then even the most basic brush will keep the teeth in good order.I think this brush represents very good value for money, especially as the guarantee can be extended to three years by registering on-line ... excellent! The replacement brush heads are very reasonably priced and this is very important; if the brush heads are too expensive, it's possible they won't be replaced on time leading to less effective brushing (the whole point of an electric toothbrush really).We have been mostly a Sonicare household in recent years and I think the brushing experience is slightly better than the Oral B. However, the prices for genuine Sonicare brush heads can be prohibitive; especially for the small-sized brushes for the Sonicare Kids ... they are £8 each and last about eight weeks!So this is a no frills, base-model brush and apart from a pulse after two minutes to let the user know they've brushed for the recommended time , that's it ... no thirty-second quadrant pulse ... something I find very useful, especially with children. There's not even an indicator to remind one to recharge the battery, so it would be best if the brush can be permanently stored on its charging base if one's situation permits. So it really is almost as basic as one can get. The battery will last for about twenty minutes on a full charge (about five days on a twice a day routine).However; having said all of that it is an entry-level brush and it's all about keeping the costs down.The base of the brush is quite small and it's prone to falling over if stood on the back of the sink. It designed to be able to lie flat on its back without rolling over; useful if one puts toothpaste on the brush ready for a child to use.Based on my experience with all of the various brushes I'd say this is a good brush that can be used by the whole family. It's supplied with two brush heads and potentially a three year warranty. If I was starting out for the first time, particularly with children in the house, I'd buy this brush and lots of brush heads (and do have a look at the brush head prices compared to the Sonicare).

I have to confess that I have always thought the electric toothbrushes were an unnecessary silly fad. I've only ever had one filling, and my teeth are good and I have always felt a normal toothbrush and regular brushing was enough.Recently my dentist has encouraged me to floss more to get in between the teeth, so I've been trying that to avoid further dental works.I was then given the opportunity to trial this toothbrush and I do have to say that I have been impressed. It seems well made and comfortable to hold. I can't compare it especially against other electric toothbrushes but compared to normal brushing I can.I have to say that my teeth do feel more clean and smooth after brushing.

I received this product as part of the Amazon Vine programme priced at £17.50 as at the 12th July.+ So what do you get? Surprisingly quite a lot at the price. There is the handle, two brush heads; alone worth around £5.00 and of course the charging unit. Standard fare for an Oral B product.+ I suppose the next question has to be, is it worth it? Surprisingly YES! This is the budget model, but don't let the price put you off, far from it, this product can clean I would suggest 95% as good as the Braun/Oral-B, top of the range product.+ So how does it work? Basically it oscillates/rotates and manually removes the plaque and food debris. The brushes are key to this action and the Oral-B brushes are ideal.

"Recommended by dentists" it says on the packaging. The packaging itself reflects this – it's just, well, packaging. Very plain, cheap and boring, it's a pain to open and an pain to get everything out, but when it's all unpacked you are looking at a nice toothbrush.It comes with a two pin plug, I'm not sure if shaving plugs are even a standard fitting in a bathroom anymore, so it would be good to see this feature corrected and a standard UK fitting plug used instead, saving the need for a clunky two pin adapter.The brush handle is solid, quite large and with the only feature being the power button, there is no indicator of charge or power, which is something that Braun (Oral-B) could've put in,

I’ve been using Oral B brushes for over 20 years, and I know they’re good because my dentist always (jokingly) complains there’s nothing for her to do because there’s never any plaque to clean, She also always praises me on my brushing – and I know it’s not me, it’s the brush.I’ve tried a few of the super fancy, i.e. expensive, Oral B brushes but I find that I just want something with a button to press once for on/off that just cleans my teeth.This particularly model is a lovely basic toothbrush that is perfect for my needs. Oral-B make a variety of brush heads. I generally use the basic round brush head. This unit is supplied with a slightly oval plaque/stain removal brush and it cleans my teeth ok,

Certainly the very best feature of this Oral B toothbrush is the different head, with it's Cross Action heads, which really do help to get into every nook and cranny, between teeth and gum-lines. My teeth really do feel very clean and it is such a simple additional feature (the bristles of the brush not all being lined up, but multi-directional), but seems to be very effective.The shape of the brush handle is different from my previous Braun Oral B brush - it is a tall tapered shape with a ridged back for the purpose of improved grip. I'm not a massive fan of this brush shape, as previous models which I have purchased have had more stable bases, which is good if I want to stand it up in the bathroom (rather than keeping it on the charger,

When I first used this brush I thought it was odd as it felt as though the brush was loose and it was quite noisy. It felt like my old brush did when it was losing power.After I got used to the loose feel and the way the brush felt I found it cleaned my teeth much more thoroughly than my previous brush. It gets right behind my wisdom teeth which the other rush seemed to constantly miss.I think the rather weird shaped brush with it bristles around the edge and the other shaped central bristles makes for a better clean that the old Oral B one with bristles the same all around the brush.The odd wobbly feel is the effect which is created to break up plaque and so far I have been remarkable impressed with the clean,

As far as electric toothbrushes go, this is just as good as many others on the market in terms of it's cleaning ability, despite it being aimed at the budget market. I'm not the type of person who demands the whitest of teeth and accordingly, I can't really tell much difference between the cleaning ability of a cross-action head and a 3D white head but they all seem to do a decent job, in my view. It does take a little bit of getting used to, as it is quite different from a manual toothbrush, but different doesn't necessarily mean bad.On the plus side, this package includes 2 toothbrush heads, which makes a change from the usual offering where perhaps only 1 is provided. Having said that,

I became a convert to electric toothbrushes a few years ago and since then don't like normal toothbrushes as I feel they don't clean as thoroughly .This toothbrush comes complete with two heads and is the combination of 2 existing products - the oral b vitality toothbrush and the oral B cross action .Personally I feel it delivers in every count - it does thoroughly clean your teeth , no fancy gadgets , lights etc just a good old rapid through clean - in a way not possible with a normal toothbrush -as its 2d cross action brushes at rapid strokes.Your teeth are minty clean after . It also doesn't sound like you are in the bathroom with a grass cutting mower as since its newer technology it works

I'm probably WAY behind the times here, but this is the very first electric toothbrush I've ever owned. I don't know why, specifically, only that they've always seemed a bit expensive and I've been using a good old fashioned toothbrush my whole life and have managed to keep my teeth pretty well. However, Amazon vine offered me this electric toothbrush to try and review, so I thought, "Well, why not". I have to admit, I wish I'd made the switch before because going from a manual toothbrush to an electric toothbrush is like going from a child's scooter to a motorbike. They are worlds apart and the lovely clean feeling I've got in my mouth after a few minutes with this Oral B Vitality Plus toothbrush lasts for much,

This is Oral B's budget electric brush and it certainly shows in the packaging and the amount of stuff you get in the box.The box houses a polystyrene holder that contains the main brush, a box with the stand and 2 pin plug in and 2 brush heads, along with a thin instruction booklet (more a piece of paper than a booklet). The brush comes with some charge but it's recommended that it's charged fully before the first use to get the best from the battery.The brush itself is basic in design, it has an on-off button and no lights on the front. There is a timer but all this does is make a different vibration every 30 seconds so that you know to change to the next quarter of your teeth.

There are so many Oral-B toothbrushes on the market, I find it slightly confusing.This Vitality Plus Cross Action sits at the bottom end of the range, with fairly a fairly basic set of functions, that never the less cover most of your teeth cleaning needs. A 2 minute Timer, A Daily Clean programme, and it will hold enough charge to last you at least a week. Braun supply their brushes with 2 pin Euro plugs, so you will need an adapter or a shave socket in the UK.This Vitality model has a 2D brushing action, whereas the models further up the range are 3D ... in Braun's own words ... The Oral-B Vitality electric toothbrush features 2D cleaning action that cleans in two ways – oscillates and rotates – to remove more plaque than a regular manual toothbrush.

Braun Oral-B seem to release so many different toothbrushes it's hard to keep up, or to tell the difference between them. This Vitality Plus CrossAction version is a one of Oral-B's more basic electric toothbrushes married with a couple of the newer CrossAction brush-heads, which makes for a perfectly serviceable combo. The brush itself is simple but effective and is quite lightweight with a good shape, wider at the top, which makes it easy to hold and manoeuvre. There are no indicator lights onboard, not even to show when it's charging or recharged, and there's just a single timer which gives a couple of pulses after 2 minutes to advise you that you've been brushing for the recommended time.

Oral-B Pro Vitality Plus Cross Action Electric Rechargeable ToothbrushThis is a basic, no frills rechargeable toothbrush - the type most dentists and hygienists recommend. It lacks the multi programmes of more expensive models but it does the same thing. If you want an all singing and dancing brush, there is one for you but you will pay over £100 for it. Some of the features and programmes are useful on these top models but not essential. So ask yourself why spend the higher amount. At the end of the day it's a toothbrush and used properly will do just as well as the more expensive models. Listed at £40 but (as usual) discounted by 50% to just below £20 makes it a "no brainer".
