    Do I remember incorrectly there was a $10 off your first order deal?
    I can't find it!

  • ce5himm on 11/04/2018 - 15:45

    Considering buying this one, but not sure if it really is a good one. Currently using those basic oral b electric one. Can bring it down to 55, with 20%off catch gc and am catch member.

      You mean the $29.95 Woolworths ones? There is a big difference. This one will feel like a jackhammer the first time you use it.

      BTW for Australian models, the 1000 and above all have the same brushing mechanism/specs. You only gain extra features or battery type.

        This review says it's the 3000 and above that are all the same and the ones below are slower with no 3D action. https://www.animated-teeth.com/electric_toothbrushes/oral-b-…

          Fair enough, but places like Ebay and Amazon probably aren't selling Australian versions so still useful info.

    I'm aware of Oral-B has introduced Pro 2 toothbrush range, which uses lithium-ion battery instead of current model which Ni-MH battery. If you're not in a hurry, it worths waiting for the new one on sale.

      Good Tip…
      The NiMH on ours is the only reason I'm interested. Battery life is noticeably decreasing as is performance on one of our 2 handles

          @scubacoles: Just got rid of mine that I purchased in 2013. Pretty happy with how long it lasted. Just means a bit more charging. No biggie.

          Not just that. I realised both our Triumph 7000 and Black 7000 starts off strong after a fresh recharge and progressively gets weaker as the battery depletes. Keen to try the Li-ion variants as they are supposed to maintain a contain speed throughout the charge of the battery.

    If you fully discharge every now and again, then make sure you only put it back on the charger when the red battery light flashes, you'll get 5+ years out of one of these bad boys. Good deal.

      not sure I understood your comment..

      Are you saying:

      "in order to get 5+ yrs battery life, every now and then you should fully discharge battery and recharge it only when the light flashes red. At all other times, use normally"

      • willyroo on 12/04/2018 - 13:18

        Ahh yes. Poor grammar.
        1) Discharge from time to time
        2) In normal use, keep the charger off until the red light starts flashing

        • clandestino on 12/04/2018 - 15:54

          thanks mate. I've got a philips sonicare that lasted a few years, permanently on the charger.

    • AdrianW on 11/04/2018 - 18:12

      We've had a 5000 for many years - and it goes back on the charger after every use. It runs at full speed every time we use it. It does run down quicker if we leave it off the charger for a while.

      Now, the Smart Timer accessory that runs on two AAs packed in a few years ago - so I'm looking for decent replacement brush (the timer on it's own is around $120!)

    • garage sale on 11/04/2018 - 17:26

      you can get replacement nimh batteries for the brushes, but they are soldered in and trickey to get everything back in ………

      • m9 on 11/04/2018 - 18:40

        They are not that hard really. Changed a Triumph 7000 battery 3 years ago. Just ordered 2 more batteries to change it again and the Black 7000. Both uses the 4/5A size. Takes 10 mins each to change.

        In the meantime I'm keeping an eye out for a deal on the Li-ion range.

        • ESEMCE on 11/04/2018 - 21:26

          You have to destroy the handle to replace the battery as far as I can tell.

          Or at least destroy the waterproofing of the electronics.

        • Naigrabzo on 11/04/2018 - 21:33

          Agree. You can definitely replace battery. Youtube for videos on how to. Need to have soldering skills though.

        • m9 on 11/04/2018 - 23:48
          +1

          @scubacoles: Nah. You use the charger to unscrew the base of the handle. A quarter turn and you can pop it off. Then remove the retaining seal on the top. Then slide the guts out. They come out as one piece. Replace the battery and job done. Note: I'm referring to the Triumph 7000 and Black 7000. Unsure about other models but should be similar.

          About the waterproofing: There's rubber gaskets between the sealing surfaces in the base of the handle, and the top where it meets the retainer is rubber. Once you reattach the base and resit the retainer, everything will be back to normal. This ain't like those adhesive seals they use for waterproofing on phones. This can be repeated many times as long as you don't gouge a hole somewhere else..

        • m9 on 11/04/2018 - 23:53

          @Naigrabzo: Yeah I feel it's one of those must have skills in life. Super simple but the things you can do with it is endless.

        • ESEMCE on 12/04/2018 - 12:32

          @m9:
          Admittedly haven't attmepted it on a recent model like my 5000 but did try on my previous handle (a 1000 or 2000 series, can't recall) and the only way to disassemble involved destroying the rubbery plastic holding the output shaft.
          I just assumed it was a planned obsolescence feature that would be present in all models.

        • m9 on 12/04/2018 - 12:59
          +1

          @scubacoles: Did a quick search - looks like the 5000 series is quite similar to 7000. Should be the same battery as well. Here's a tip for you. Soak this bit in hot water for 5-10 minutes. Makes removal of the retainer much easier. Gentle pry with a spudger or old credit card and it pops off. No damage to rubber surrounds or the retainer itself.

        • ESEMCE on 12/04/2018 - 13:34

          @m9:
          Cheers, that tip might be what I was missing in my first disassembly.

    Maybe it is only me, however, I am strongly not recommend any Electric Toothbrush. The problem is electric toothbrush head, it is very easy to trap bacterial. I used to be a Oral-B electric toothbrush supporter. A while ago, I started to have very bad gum infection, my dental told me there are some "deep pocket", eventually, I will have to replace some of my teeth. I did not realize it was caused by my electric toothbrush since I just changed my electric toothbrush head one month ago. Lucky for me, at the time, there are some sonic toothbrush deal on ozbargain, and I just wanted to give a try (nothing related to the infection). 2 weeks after using sonic toothbrush, the infection was gone. I then realize the infection was caused by my old Electric Toothbrush.
    Most sonic toothbrush head has no difference compare with tradition tooth brush …
    BTW, dental gum clean surgery and Colgate Savacol mouth rinse all help the situation, but the infection only go way completely after I got rid of my electric toothbrush.
    Again, it is just my own experience. I am not try to promote any tooth care product.

      Isn't sonic toothbrush an electric toothbrush? 🤔

      • testert on 11/04/2018 - 17:58
        +1

        Sorry to be clear, Oral-B electric toothbrush head has mechanical structure, if you take close look you can see each head has a head base and brush top. The bacterial grows in between. Tradition tooth brush and sonic toothbrush head have no such structure, just a brush head.

          You did replace your head every few months… right?

        • AlexF on 11/04/2018 - 19:17

          @lainey13:
          Bacteria will grow from the moment it’s out of packaging and it’s pretty hard to clean insides of Oral-B brush. I’ll guess OP’s gyms are especially susceptible.

        • testert on 11/04/2018 - 19:37

          @lainey13: "I just changed my electric toothbrush head one month ago", I think at the time, I had a low immune system, caused by allergy and flu. Combine with the little bacterial inside the brush head, caused gum infection. I guess that is the reason why most ppl did not experience the same issue. However, it is still a problem can potentially bring trouble to your oral health which should not happen in first place.

        • ESEMCE on 11/04/2018 - 21:28

          Never knew the difference!
          The brush head structure has always concerned me a little with the Oral-B.
          Might look into switching across.

        • lainey13 on 12/04/2018 - 20:05

          @AlexF: you know that bacteria grows in normal manual toothbrushes yeah… so the same applies to both kinds of heads ? The bit where the bristles attach to the head is not accessible on a manual toohbrush.

  • tightasian on 11/04/2018 - 18:10

    Here is my 2 cents. Used 2 of this model, the battery dies after 18 months ish.Heads can be bought about $3-4 dollars each. Electronic toothbrushes are good for those who don’t have a good brushing techniques. I used to brush so hard, gum receded. Dentists suggest try electronic ones as they have a red light if put too much pressure on gum and teeth. IMO, it’s not about how clean it can be, normal toothbrushes get job done too. Getting in a routine of massaging your gum with normal toothbrushes+flossing daily+cleaning up every 6 months is more important.

    Plus, vaguely, I remember we bought 2 in 1 pack (1 charging seat) at Costco for $90 once. Happy to be prove I am wrong.

  • athna on 11/04/2018 - 21:19
