Ranked #4 in Best Electric Toothbrushes

Oral-B Pro 1000 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush

3.7

3 sources$62as of Oct 10

The Pro 1000 is the cheapest Oral-B that still has the two things that matter: an oscillating-pulsating head and a pressure sensor. Electric Teeth scored it 75 out of 100 and My Dental Advocate 8.7 out of 10, all on the same argument, that it cleans as well as brushes several times the price because the extra money elsewhere buys apps rather than motors. TechGearLab was cooler at 55 out of 100. Replacement heads are cheap and stocked everywhere.

Strengths

— Small round oscillating head reaches behind molars a manual brush misses
— Two-minute timer with a 30-second pulse to move you between quadrants, as My Dental Advocate notes
— Standard Oral-B head fitting keeps replacement costs low

Watch-outs

— Loud in use, to the point that reviewers reach for power-tool comparisons; Electric Teeth calls it far from silent
— No display, app or travel case; three modes is the entire feature set

SURI 2.0

4.6

4 sources$134.99as of Oct 11

The SURI 2.0 is a sonic brush built around repairability and quiet running rather than app features: an aluminium body SURI refurbishes instead of replacing, plant-based heads it takes back for recycling, wireless charging and a UV-C travel case. Battery life is the standout at more than 30 days of twice-daily brushing. T3 scored it 5 out of 5, Tom's Guide and Tech Advisor 4.5 out of 5, and GQ 9 out of 10. The pressure sensor is the weak spot, since it takes a firm push before it reacts.

Strengths

— Quiet operation compared to rotating electric brushes, with Tech Advisor listing it as gentle and quiet
— Sustainable design with repairable aluminium body and plant-based brush heads
— UV disinfection in travel case keeps brush bacteria-free

Watch-outs

— Pressure sensor requires firm pressure to activate, Tech Advisor found

How they stack up

Oral-B Pro 1000 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush

The Oral-B Pro 1000 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush uses an oscillating-pulsating head, where the SURI 2.0 and the Bitvae ADA Accepted Electric Toothbrush are sonic brushes. It is loud in use, while the SURI 2.0 is listed as quiet, and it comes with no travel case, which the SURI 2.0, the Bitvae and the Philips Sonicare 7100 all include. It costs less than the SURI 2.0 and the Sonicare.

SURI 2.0

The SURI 2.0 lasts more than 30 days per charge, longer than the Philips Sonicare 7100's up to 3 weeks, and it runs quietly where the Oral-B Pro 1000 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush is loud in use. It has two brushing modes against the Sonicare's 12 brush settings, and its pressure sensor needs a firm push before it reacts.
