Save your money and get this instead. Having had many Braun and Philips over the years I'm pretty confident the Oclean bests with both for a fraction of the price.
I was looking at the oclean deal today - Is the oralB better (albeit more expensive) or is the ocleanPro Elite better overall including the price?
I see the the official site has a better price than the one posted
I see the the official site has a better price than the one posted
oclean official site is US$59.99 for brush + 2x heads + case (can't choose colour)
banggood has US$55.64 for brush + 3x heads or brush + case (can choose colour)
I was looking at the option with the sterilizer - oclean has free shipping as well. I will jump back on and compare the 2 again. Thanks for the heads up
The oclean site has elite pro, 6 heads, the sterilizer and travel case for $121 delivered . Is that good?oclean has free shipping as well
Banggood US$55.64 price includes shipping
The oclean site has elite pro, 6 heads, the sterilizer and travel case for $121 delivered . Is that good?
you're better off getting the elite pro + 2x heads + travel case for around $78 AUD and then buy the extra 4x heads for around $13 AUD. Total $91 (AUD) - excluding steriliser.
the steriliser is about $18 USD (~$23 AUD) after the code, so better off buying separately for total $114 AUD
I owned both Oral B and Oclean. Oral B is much better imo. Oclean has more features but Oral B just cleans better, which is the most important aspect.
I have the Oclean X. I prefer the Oral B. That's $69.99 USD I've spent on this little experiment . I think it's not the motor..maybe the bristles are too soft or not vibrating intensely enough.
I agree with this, ultrasonic just doesn't seem to do it in my case!
Now you have just confused me on which one to get. hmmmm decisions,decisions
Maybe it's a matter of opinion I suppose. But my preference was the Philips Diamond Clean over the Braun and then after the Diamond Clean I got the Oclean X and think that's as good at brushing but is better in other ways.
interesting i have the diamond clean at the moment, just got philips to replace it
Another paid shill marketing a rubbish product
Pretty unlikely that he's a paid shill mate.
In any case, not really worth comparing Oclean to Oral B, as personal preference on ultrasonic vs oscillating will be the main factor there. Best to get opinions of people that have used Oclean and compare this to Sonicare/Diamondclean.
I bought the DiamondClean during the Ozbargain deal 3-4 years ago, and my brush died recently. I still like the wireless charging glass and think that's a lot more elegant than the charging stands. Went with the Oclean (haven't received yet) since it has wireless charging and seems like the cheapest option while retaining use of the wireless charging glass. Haven't yet received it but will report back on how it goes.
Bro seriously, oscillating or not.
Xiaomi can never compete with Braun or Oral B in this market, whoever buys a Xiaomi thinking they got a bargain over it are truly misguided.
They also tried to compete with Dyson with their 'Dreame' stick vacuum, it's a lost cause only marketed by biased opinions.
For PC and gadgets, ok, anything else - I wouldnt touch..
@frostman: I don't really understand your reasoning here. PC and Gadgets have a much higher level of complexity so if you trust Xiaomi for that, then mechanical crap like a toothbrush shouldnt be a big stretch.
Anyways, like I said, I'm just trying this out - so don't have an opinion at all yet. Seems based on the available info that it could very well be a better alternative to diamondclean
What makes you say that.
I have a philips diamond clean and also tried oral.b.
Genuinely would like to know your thoughts / feedback.
We have to connect our toothbrush to our phones now?
Heck yeah. Gotta earn them sparkle points.
How else will they read your data and get your DNA?
Fluoride obviously
How else would you detect brush position?
It doesn't do that btw.
It detects approximate brush position
I have this and been using it for a year now.
Honestly I don’t recommend this, waste of money to pay for premium feature that I don’t use. Bluetooth? Meh.
I think the $20 entry model is good enough for the purpose.The $20 model misses the 3D brushing which is really one of the biggest reasons to get a higher end model, I was able to get rid of alot of plaque build up when I moved up from the Vitality to a Genius model just because of the sheer power of it (I'm sure you'll get the same results with a Smart model as well)
Was told by a dentist that you shouldn't need to spend more than $30 on an electric toothbrush such as the oral B ones that are half price every second week or so at Woolies/Coles.
Anyone tried the cheaper ones and compared them to more expensive electric toothbrushes?
I have a mid range Oral B (can’t remember which model) and it’s a lot better than the cheap Oral B one I had from Coles. The more expensive one seems to oscillate a lot quicker and teeth & gums feel cleaner.
An environmentalist would say otherwise. The cheap one only works (not as well as the expensive one) for 3 months before loosing power. The expensive one is German made with lithium battery, it can last 3 years easily.
mine last more than 10 years
Likely wouldn't be the same as the current cheapies - IIRC earlier Vitality brushes were German made and some were Ni-MH. Now they're Chinese and Ni-Cd and a couple years is the most you can reasonably expect from the battery. The bit extra for at least something Ni-MH if not lithium would make for a better lifespan compared to the current low end.
@ethan961: What are you going on about? I bought 2x Vitality brushes from Amazon last year and they are marked as Ni-MH and Made In China. These are the same ones you can buy in Coles and Woolworths. Please don't spread misinformation, some people can't afford the fancy models and using a basic electric toothbrush is better than manual brushing.
@flagger: If they're Ni-MH now then that's great - for a period of time they were Ni-Cd and I have one purchased a bit over a year ago that's Ni-Cd. My point stands that I would not buy a Ni-Cd toothbrush and instead seek out Ni-MH at least, and if the Vitalities are now Ni-MH then that's fine. And at no point did I say go manual instead of a cheap electric, this was purely about needing to replace a Ni-Cd toothbrush sooner.
My wife has the 9000 whereas I use those cheap half price ones from Coles/Woolies. You can definitely feel a difference in the way it spins/cleans (hard to explain), the brush handle seems to not vibrate as much when holding it, and I like the white/red light to let you know if brushing too hard.
But in all honesty other than that, it's same same to me.
This seems like a good deal in terms of discount vs RRP, however I went to cheap 1/2 price woolies/coles electric brushes from manual brushes, and I find I have cleaner teeth in terms of reduced plaque. Interesting you find them to be very similar.
It also has a bunch of other modes and lights on there… but I never really bothered with them.
The accessories like the travel case/charger might also offer value depending your own use case (and it uses same proprietary charging cable as Braun shavers too)… and I like that it can use the regular charger too from the cheapo ones so they won't go to waste.
The mid range models e.g. Oral-B Pro 2 2000 have two features you might be looking for:
- Lion battery so that you don't have to put it on the charger that often and the battery seems to last longer.
- Pressure sensor will indicate if you are pressing to hard.It also pulsates (marketed as 3D cleaning), a feature not found in entry model.
I've used the cheapo oral-b from woolies, and a $100+ sonicare and the difference is massive. the $30 oral-b feels like smashing my toothbrush around in my mouth compared to sonicare.
I'd say go for at least mid-range ones. I had a mid-range unit that lasted me 5 years, and it had the older NiMH battery. Replacing with this one now. If it lasts me another 5 years, it'll have been a good investment.
Wtf would a dentist actually know about electronic toothbrushes?
Not sure what they know about toothbrush internals but since switching from manual to electric brushes I get noticeably less plaque buildup so I would take it as good advice.
Dentists use electric toothbrushes themselves and there are studies that prove electric toothbrushes are more beneficial than manual
My comments were about a dentist saying you only need to buy the cheapest $30 electric toothbrush, nothing to do with manual vs electric.
My point is why would a dentist know anything about how different electric toothbrushes compare at cleaning?
@noise36: I do believe $30 electric toothbrush is good enough but if you want a really good thorough clean, I find the expensive one is a little better. I used both cheap and expensive and cheap was better than manual.
Uhm yeah so I’m a dentist.To answer your question: Basically, brushing your teeth needs good hand dexterity. We always recommend a soft bristle manual tooth brush that fits the budget because taking care of your teeth by brushing and flossing doesn’t have to break the bank.
The thing is, not a lot would have that dexterity either too much brushing or not hitting the areas properly. So here comes the recommendation of electronic toothbrush. Now, what do we know about electronic toothbrushes? — You only need a basic. You can buy a $200 electric toothbrush and still be with poor oral hygiene with brushing your teeth same as you do if you’re brushing with a $30 one. So yeah, we recommend a cheap electric one because we want to see if it could make your life easier and gums healthier because brushing all boils down to your technique and not how expensive your toothbrush is. You still need to manoeuvre an oscillating toothbrush. You can upgrade to a $500 once you have mastered your technique ( hey your money, your problem.)
Believe me, when I discuss oral hygiene instructions because they still have a lot of plaque and calcular deposit after 6 months of using an electric toothbrush, the problem is your dexterity and not the toothbrush. Leave the toothbrush alone.
Thanks for this. What about the difference between oscillating and vibrating toothbrushes? Do you have a preference for one over the other and have there been any independent studies that you would trust that provides a more objective rather than subjective view of the differences?
I agree. I tell my patients to hold the electric toothbrush on the gums at an angle and spend the full 2 min. I also believe a good diet and the amount of times you eat are other factors too
Disagree completely. I have this model whilst my partner has the half price woolies one. Hers feels like mine when it hits low battery and slows down. I also change the timer so I spend 45s on each quarter of the mouth, and I appreciate the sensitive setting to use near the gums.
You can get two of the Smart 5 5000's for around this price at Costco when on special. Honestly don't think there's much of a difference between them. But as others said, you may be better off just getting a cheap one. The extra price is for a bunch of bells and whistles that you don't really need.
I have 5000 and 8000. What I like about the 8000 (and would with 9000) vs 5000 is the white light feature and there being 2 buttons (on/off and cycle options) that are easier to press (less stiff) than the 1 button on the 5000.
no deal, my finger is free
Your dentist bill won't be
Good find OP, thanks
Thanks, my teeth feel cleaner already. Bought the white from Amazon AU since I had discounted egift cards.
What a good coincidence.. been looking to replace my 5 years old unit, it has one of those older NiMH battery which barely holds its charge anymore. If this lasts me another 5 years, I'll be happy.
Was kind of leaning towards trying out the Sonicare or Oclean but decided to stick to oscillating since its been working well for me. Definitely wont use any of the features of this unit, but that charging case will be nice.. when I travel again.. which will probably be never.
My understanding is this - oral b only have a handful of actual internals between the models, and differentiate them into a dozen models with various gimmicks.
The top ones have the 8k rpm and 40k pulsations or there about a, so really in terms of actual brushing you may want the cheapest from that top range, which is the pro 2 2000 at the moment. The more expensive ones add Bluetooth and other gimmicks ("AI" now as well lmao)
I have one of these and it gets super moldy on the rubber part of the handle. Just a FYI
You are doing something wrong. We never had that problem, with 6 of them.
Been using one for five years, the cheaper model with rubber on the front side of the handle. If yours have gotten moldy, you're not rinsing your tooth brush properly. Which is kinda nasty mate.
I have one of these and it gets super moldy on the rubber part of the handle. Just a FYI
You didn't rinse out the toothpaste foam well after brushing.
Open it up (look up youtube) for guides:
1) Remove the bottom by using the charging base to assist rip off the bottom (gently) to expose a small plastic bottom, and a small spring
2) Remove the plastic ring just below where the metal rod receiver (for the toothbrush head) is located
3) Remove the unit inside carefully (handle slides up and out), which contains all the electronics and motor
4) Soak the empty handle and bottom plastic lid in bleach for two days, and it'll be as good as newRinse off, dry and reasemble, the internals should be completely clean.
Should be 5 separate pieces altogether
Has anyone gone back to manual brushing?
The level of cleaning you get from a proper Oral-B toothbrush has turned me off manual brushing for life
Your Chemist Warehouse Price Beat calculation is wrong
Their guarantee is "we will match it and give you 10% off the difference"So $179.99 (current Chemist Warehouse Price for Gold) - $129 (DJ Price) = $50 * 10% = $5
So Chemist Warehouse Price Match is $124 (not $116.10).For $5 more better off buying at Amazon as they have free delivery and offer a better returns policy if there is an issue.
Not my calculations mods added it to header lol, but I did have in post 10% price beat thought it would be like ow, either way Amazon, cw, dj good price for this toothbrush
Arrrrrrrrrghhhhhh.. i bought this 2 weeks ago for $224 at David Jones in store..
impulse buy.. I bought it then looked it up online when i got home and noticed the price was a bit cheaper online but considering i got it straight away it wasn't that bad. But… didn't even open the box and went back to David Jones the next day to try and refund it. Was refused because it's an electric toothbrush. i showed them that it was still sealed and they said how no. It actually states on their T&C refund policy that electric toothbrushes can't be returned.. and now i see this deal.. F***…..
Wow, didn't know that about DJ. I bought with them instead thinking that since they have a physical store, it'd be easy to handle return. Should've gone with Amazon I suppose.
With such shitty return policy.. Maybe thats why they're dying.
@buckethat: Yup. that was one of the other reasons i bought it in store.. But never again. the manager at David Jones (Garden city, W.A) said no we don't take refunds on electric toothbrushes, would you buy a returned electric toothbrush? i replied with i bought this yesterday from the same store and its still sealed… her reply… its unhygenic and walked away..
Won't have to deal with managers like this online.. lol.. Anyways my mistake for this in-store purchase.
@cafelah: Wow, its no wonder retail is dying.. shitty customer service on top of everything else.
Oh well, you might've over paid but at least you should be able to get 5+ years out of it, and its really not that bad in the long run. With that said, I'll probably do my best to avoid DJ.
Sonicare is better?
While I think this model is overkill and normally overpriced for its gimmick features, this is an excellent price.
I disagree with the commenters above who say you should get the $20 and $30 cheapies from Woolies. The minimum I would recommend in the Oral B range are the 4-digit models (Pro 2 2000, Smart 4 4000, and above) as these have:
- 3D brushing (forward/backward pulsations)
- Higher rate of oscillations
- Li-ion batteries instead of NiMH
- Over-pressure sensor
Agree! The supermarket ones are total rubbish
Totally agree. Grabbed this https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/575189 (twin pack of 2000) for $85.11. Even at ~$112 still not a bad deal.
The Li-ion battery vs the old NiHH models is awesome.
Repaired and threw away so many NiHM models due to battery having trouble lasting longer than a couple of year (even on premium models)
Longer runtime as well on Li-ionfunny enough ones i had with NiHM were never amazing but i got a good 5 years out of it
My current 2000 is just under 2 years old and the Li-ion is dead, barely lasts one brush and feels under powered. Even treated it well to start with eg charging only once a week (till it couldnt do it anymore)
Well, you are on the lowey side of battery life, hence why throwing them away. Jokes aside, mine has been going for good 6 years. Might do something with the price as it was expensive. Sure, it's not as good as when it was new, but I would say it still holds about 80% of it.
Thanks OP got one. Further 3% off via Suncorp giftcard.
I had this but by far prefer the sonicare diamond which gives a cleaner feel. If price isn't an issue you've never tried ultrasonic you could borrow someone's brush and test it with a new brush head
One can use promo code '10APP' to get further $10 off when purchased via Amazon app. Paid $115.43 using the promo code and 3% off gift cards.
is this code targeted? Did not work on my app
Possibly targeted and single use only, it showed for me on the product page.
Single use only
White doesn't appear to be available on Amazon anymore dagnabbit!
buy rose gold from DJ & just exchange in-store for white when they have stock
Base on above comment by cafelah, you might not be able to do that.
didn't even open the box and went back to David Jones the next day to try and refund it. Was refused because it's an electric toothbrush. i showed them that it was still sealed and they said how no. It actually states on their T&C refund policy that electric toothbrushes can't be returned..
interesting, nothing clear on the page that you purchase so don't know how they can hold you to those terms, so would just say it was a unwanted gift & want to exchange color, worst case you're stuck with rose gold in your mouth
this is called cheater behavior
you do realise "white" was $129 but sold out, so nothing cheating about it, just getting exchanged once it's in stock
Was a little bit of stuffing around but sure enough your idea worked.
Ended up with a white 9000 for the $129 tax, gotta like the outcome!
Thanks for the suggestion :)
Wow. What's so good about white?
Does it camoflauge with the white wall?
White is back in stock but with higher price
Clever thinking 99
Pulled the trigger!
