Oral B Pro 2 (2000)
Chemist Warehouse (blue, no travel case) $70 (originally $159.99) - no stock online.
The Good Guys (black with travel case) $79 however have price matched Chemist Warehouse price for me.

Wait? What makes you think that price will return?
What makes you think it won't? Prices go up and down all the time.
I picked up the 5000 from that deal before they could cancel my order. They still ended up cancelling my order after I had already picked it up citing it was out of stock - numerous others commented the same.
I believe it was actually a pricing error and HO mass cancelled them without checking who had collected them already.
@Lucille Bluth: I received a call saying if I'm happy to wait a week for more stock to come in, I could pick it up then, otherwise they can refund. Obviously I chose to wait the week and picked it up from the store, super happy
I think this might be a better deal if you don't mind to wait 2 weeks for the Pro 2 2500 with an included travel case for $71.55 ($69.40 with 3% discounted gift cards) delivered from Amazon UK. Use your existing Oral B charger or get an AU plug.
Free expedited international delivery with Prime. You can start a free trial if you don't have Prime to get free shipping.
Why does it need AA batteries as stated in the spec? Or does it come with rechargeable AA batteries?
That would be typo. The thing comes with a
AC charger that you connect to your power socket that you plonk the toothbrush on. The toothbrush does not have removable batteries
Fun fact: 2000 was 21 years ago
Would you like a sticky gold star?
Would I!!
The pro 2 2000 has the exact same performance/battery as the high end models right? Just lacking the 'smart' features/bells whistles etc?
This model and all above have the lithium ion battery which is meant to last 2 weeks vs models below this one which I think all have nimh batteries.
And yep, higher models have the pulsating feature, Bluetooth, positioning sensor etc.
I believe when I was researching them some of the higher models do have a better motor, but not worth the extra price IMO.
Good deal, but if you want one in black and with a travel case… Myer too has a nice deal @ $89 + Free Shipping.

TGG is also black with travel case @ $79 + $8 shipping though they price matched Chemist Warehouse in store (maybe I just got lucky).
But yeah, Myer is also a decent deal.
Black is the new blue :)
Has anyone found a USB charger that works for the Oral-B electric toothbrushes?
I've tried one from eBay and AliExpress - refunded because they don't do anything.
I'm fairly sure the reason for this is that the normal Oral B toothbrush chargers use 240V AC current, and USB chargers are pretty much all 5V DC current
Maybe you’ve just been unlucky because I have one of those generic USB chargers purchased from ebay which works with my pro 2 2000.
I thought the 2000 model didn't have lithium Batteries. It was the 2500 that did which was an updated model?
Update:
Actually they are identical according to the below. 2500 is the same as 2000 but marketed for the UK instead of Australia .

I have a Oral-B Pro 700, is it worth upgrading?
Got one for $79.95 at Big W on clearance as CW are basically cleaned out for stock.
Better wait for this if no need for it now https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/609812
