      3000 is "newer", less rubber surfaces which tends to attract soap scum, mould growth

      Comparison:
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAlwH5IV_fQ&ab_channel=Elect…

      Considering they are almost the same price, I'd still go with the Smart 4000 because of the neat holder and rubber is more durable (I think).

      • dyziplen on 17/01/2024 - 13:33
        +10

        After using the 4000 for about two years, the rubber is slightly porous and tended to attract soap scum and mouldy growth. You can clean it, but because its porous its never really clean. Eventually the rubber deteriorated and water ingresses into the device itself and it died. Got the 3000 (while overseas and it had a different model number) about a year and half ago, its all hard plastic at the charging end except for rubber seal in the joint and a small rubber plug/hole. Far easier to clean.

        So no, rubber isn't more durable.

          I have a rubber/Bluetooth Oral-B (not sure which model), but generally, we just clean it after every use and dry it. We've had it for almost 10 years with no issues, but last week we noticed the motor is dying out

          I take my comment back about 4000 being more durable since you have had both :)

            @mirovich: More likely the battery is dying, not the motor.

            • resisting the urge on 21/01/2024 - 18:03

              @JimB: I replaced the battery in my 5000 with a $16 NiMH one from eBay, difficult to disassemble but with plastic tools you can do it without damaging the case (after 10 years they stick together good, so it's important to watch someone doing it with the exact same model so you can be forceful on the right places in the right way). Battery has to be de-soldered, and the tabs on the new one fashioned a bit to mount the new one.

              Goes good as new now. You can use plastic grease on the drive cog inside, the smallest dab, if you want it to last another 10 years!

              • JimB on 22/01/2024 - 09:31

                @resisting the urge: Good on you.

                A bit too much effort on my part. and 10 years is a decent run.

                I think my Pro 1500 which I got for $50 comes with Li-ion.

            @mirovich: The white rubber parts of the casing break down when exposed to UV-B rays.

            For some reason our builder installed a bathroom window made from plastic. It allows the UV in and when mum used to leave her toothbrush on the ledge, the rubber turns into a gooey mess in <6mo.

            Move it off the ledge, and it lasts fine.

            Beware leaving them in the sun (though glass will help)

        my dentist advised me to get the cheapest one with a pressure sensor and a timer - basically what that linked article is suggesting. their RRP is always something insane but i'm fairly sure a 2000 shouldn't cost you much more than $50.

        • Carve2 on 17/01/2024 - 13:13
          +1

          Yeah, that sounds about right. I can't see a good deal on the 2000 at the moment, best seems to be $95 or so, which makes the 3000 better "value" right now. If you're not in a hurry, setup an alert here for the 2000 and jump on it at ~$50.

          I think that’s the one I have. The main thing I’d recommend is a lithium ion battery. Mine lasts two weeks while my wife lasts a few days at best (older NiMH battery).

          • merriweather on 17/01/2024 - 16:11

            @GeneralSkunk: yeah mine's a few years old now and the battery's cooked if you don't charge it at least every second night

        • lancesta on 20/01/2024 - 18:15

      Between the 1000 and 2000 it's 1000,
      The 2000 and 4000 it's 2000,
      The 4000 and 5000 it's 1000 again.
      Between the 1000 and 5000 it's 4000.

      Not sure that helps :)

        If between 4000 and 5000 you pick 1000, how then between 1000 and 5000 you pick 4000. What does your 'between' mean?

  • yoyobananas on 17/01/2024 - 13:22

    I like this one the most because it doesn't have a rubber grip. Much easier to keep mould away.

  • rickyygee on 17/01/2024 - 13:24

    I've used this for a bit over a year. Li battery so it holds charge for longer, great for weekend trips with the travel case. Also less rubber means no mould. Would recommend

    I wish they did better with the model numbers. I currently own the 300 but I don't think the battery life is good and it seems weaker then a previous Oral B I had. Anybody used both as a comparison?

        Never knew about the code, was thinking of cancelling order and just buying instore as they have 16 pack brushes for $32 too.
        Not overly fussed though, it's pretty cheap for asking $ in the 1st place.

        EDIT: just bought through website for CnC as is easier and has the extra brushes, plus saved me $10 in delivery which put towards the OG German brushes.
        Asked to cancel the eBay purchase so there might be another in stock soon for anyone else on eBay.

        There is something smug about being the tightarsed bargain hunter that I am, I will do anything and everything to save every dollar, not because I need to, but I am compulsed to do.

      You could easily have found out if the heads would work with this brush by looking at the brush box. It clearly states it on the box.

      It is not their job to know info like this. Do you really think some low level worker getting paid minimum wage is expected to know about all the product details that the shop sells? It is a very unreasonable expectation.

      Do you also get outraged when the chemist warehouse CEO makes millions while paying peanuts to the workers? Or do you have selective outrage towards low level workers because that makes you feel better?

        What are you even talking about?
        When I ordered, there was no info regarding this, none at all, all I wanted was some assistance, not someone who just looked away on their phone.
        I never had my glasses so how was I supposed to read fine print on a on box in a sealed bag?
        Low level worker getting paid minimum wage justifies their inability to interact with customers excuses their behavior?
        You clearly have no idea on the subject, I am not expecting them for product knowledge, I am expecting assistance, but here you are saying people should be shunned because what others get paid?

        I bet you have an answer for everything, but understand nothing.
        People should take pride in their work, no matter how much they get paid. You trying to justify otherwise is just some form of deflection to the reality of things.

              CW is trying to make money while offering a huge discount. This involves hiring people who may not be the best at what they do, allowing them to pay lower wages. It's really simple economics. Take MSY as another example. Have you been there? Lol.

                EDIT, I want to add how rude the check out "person" was.
                I went to the counter, told them I had a CnC order, showed her the SMS and she asked for the barcode, so I clicked on the link that wasn't working before, suddenly gave me a barcode which I promptly showed the girl behind the glass encasement.
                She wasn't even paying attention, she was eyed all over her phone ignoring me.
                It was an awkward 20 odd seconds as my arm was under the case showing her the barcode.
                She suddenly saw my phone then paid attention to me.

                ^^ Did you miss all of this? She asked me a question, when I tried to give her an answer, she ignored me.
                This isn't about her minimum wages or w/e other scenario you try to paint for your own narrative, she was plain and simply rude.
                She is the check out person I am trying to pick up a click and collect order, and she cannot even do that properly.
                So what next, am I supposed to think it's ok because something about MSY?

                Being entitled is one thing, but to try and justify this behavior is a whole new level of, deflection to what is the source of the problem.

    This product, like many others in our era, suffers from the form over function mindset of stripping all physical buttons back to the bare minimum. As a result, it only has one button, rather than the obvious separation into a power button and a function button. This means when you need to power off the brush in order to spit you need either a long press to turn the brush off or press the one button several times to toggle through the various brush modes before it switches off. This is a inconvenient to the user but, on the plus side, it's no doubt brought some orgasmic pleasure to the designer when he sees one button rather than two.
