Positively, it is all paper based and does not have a polystyrene inner tray like Oral-B have used in the past. Few of us actually need our brush to last all that long. It’s unlikely to be a major inconvenience if we have to recharge. In fact, many just leave their brush on the stand when not in use, this is fine. Unwanted Food or Drink Products - Once supply conditions are broken, there are a number of factors outside of our control that can affect the quality of a product. Therefore perishable goods such as food and drink cannot be returned.

Unlike more affordable alternatives, the Pro 1 does have a battery notification LED on the handle. It will flash red when the power is running out. A full recharge takes up to 12 hours. The battery LED will flash green whilst charging, before turning off once complete. The Pro 1, like the majority of Oral-B brushes, makes a fair bit of noise. It is far from silent when in use. However, in this instance, it appears only to confuse matters because the Pro 1 750 is almost identical to other similarly named models that Oral-B sells via other retailers. The Oral-B Pro 1 Series is a good electric toothbrush with most of the dentist-recommended features at a reasonable price.Most Oral-B brushes actually last 14+ days when charged. You’ll need to spend a bit more to get a brush that offers this. However, the vast majority of electric brushes from other brands offer in the region of 3-4 weeks of use on a single charge. Many even last far longer. You can learn more in my comparison of the Pro 600, 650, 800 and 750 that goes into more detail about the differences and similarities.

With regards to the Oral-B 1 series specifically; it has limited box contents which reduces its weight during transportation compared to others that come with more items. The box could be made a bit smaller, saving space and resources. Quite a few toothbrushes today have electronic mechanisms built into the handle that give visual alerts when it is time to replace the brush head. This can be helpful, but brushes that offer this are more expensive. You don’t get such alerts from the Pro 1. If you’re trying not to spend too much it’s not a feature worth worrying about Unfortunately, but not surprisingly it has not been designed to be easily repaired by yourself. Trying to replace parts like the battery will likely break the brush. This makes it more likely to be discarded rather than repaired if broken. By the very nature of the product, they are not immune to failure. 2 years of manufacturer support is provided as standard, but this can be extended for free to a pretty generous 3 years, if you register the brush. You should be hopeful of 5+ years of service from the Pro 1.This is because the Pro 1 750 is essentially identical to the Oral-B Pro 1 680, which I have reviewed in great detail.

Oral-B has for many years built pressure sensors into their toothbrushes and the Pro 1 is no exception, but the configuration here isn’t optimum. White in colour with pink leaf pattern on the case supplied with pink gripped handle (exceptions may apply)

After spending 12 years in consumer technology, it was in 2014 that he focused his attention on dental health, having experienced first-hand the challenge of choosing a new toothbrush. The pacer helps achieve this. It momentarily pauses the brushing action every 30 seconds to tell you to move on to the next part of the mouth. After 2 minutes the alert changes slightly to tell you that you have brushed for long enough. The 750 is a model normally sold in central Europe, in countries like Poland for example. It was not widely sold in the UK. The Pro 1 is the cheapest model in the Oral-B range to have a 3D cleaning motion rather than 2D. This means that in addition to the oscillating and rotating action, there are pulsations, which add a 3rd dimension to the cleaning effect for better results.
