Oral-B Pro 500 vs Pro 1000

[@Adeline9418]

People have said there's no charger light to tell when it's charged. I'll just charge mine whenever I'm not using it.

[@JamarD421]

I liked how to the point this video was. The verdict first followed why ot was chosen and then the differences between the two products is a good review format to me. Thank you. Looks like I'll purchase the Pro 1000.

[@ElectricTeeth]

I am glad you like the comparison. 👍

[@Adeline9418]

I'll be starting with the 500. Comes today. Can't wait!! Currently have a Oral B pulsar.

[@JamarD421]

Well... how has it been two years on?

[@84Eraursls]

The 500 looks identical to the Vitality that we got. New it would only last 2-3 brushes. On the third brush you could hear the motor speed slow substantially.

[@stephaniepjones9359]

Okay! So I have the Pro 1000, and went to the store yesterday to discover that here in the US there appears to be a Black 1500 I've never seen before and now I see the Smart 2200, so what would you recommend now? I just want an upgrade from my Pro 1000, maybe something slightly quieter but something that really cleans the teeth well! I'm willing to spend up to like 120! I don't need 1000 brush modes, just one that mimics the cleaning of a Sonic Brush. I prefer the round brush head!

[@ElectricTeeth]

Stephanie. If your Pro 1000 is working fine, just stick with it. The differences between these models are very subtle. I appreciate you may want an upgrade but you are not going to benefit significantly. Might be worth just saving the $$. There is a new Smart 1500 (available in various colors) which is a bit of an upgrade over the Pro 1000. The main appeal is twice the battery life and a visible pressure sensor. The Smart 1500 is our top pick for most individuals because of the value for money/performance. The Smart 2200 is basically the Smart 1500 with a different brush head. Ignore this model. Unfortunately, with the exception of Oral-B's most premium model, they are all quite loud. If you want something that is quieter, you would need to move to a different brand, like Sonicare for example that use a sonic cleaning action compared to the oscillating and rotating or Oral-B.

[@stephaniepjones9359]

@@ElectricTeeth you all are the best! Thank you! I definitely see what you mean the benefit of switching may not be worth it. The loudness actually doesn't bother me too much. My Pro 1000 just has some wear/tear from over the years, etc. I've thought about switching to soniccare but once you are use to that round brush head I feel like it's hard to switch!

[@ElectricTeeth]

I hear you Stephanie. My (Jon) go to is always Oral-B. Not paid to say that, it's just the way it is. Your Pro 1000 might be looking a bit tired, but there is still life in it yet. If you are happy to keep with it then great. Otherwise at very least if you do upgrade, use the old 1000 as a handy tool for cleaning jobs. Great for cleaning round taps or grout in between tiles! 😆

[@jjcaron72]

Pro 500 is $38.00. Can’t beat the price.

[@latinace1981]

It's $26 on Amazon

[@meowthchu7307]

It was 19 bucks at WalMart I think.

[@duongpham989]

Im now with the Oral B pro 2500, can’t go back to pro 500.

[@kobyprospero6597]

hello, we have here oral b pro 500 with 3d action, is that different from normal pro 500 and does that mean it has same cleaning capabilities with the 1000 (3D cleaning)?

[@ElectricTeeth]

The Pro 500 name is used on different models around the world. So the Pro 500 in the USA isn't the same as the Pro 500 in Australia for example. Where are you located? From what your saying it sounds like you have the version of the Pro 500 that is most like the Pro 1000, with 3D action. 👍

[@kobyprospero6597]

@@ElectricTeeth hello thank you for replying! i live in the Philippines and it was actually sold out because it went on sale. opted for the oral b pro 4000 (not the smart series i think). would this be a good alternative? havent really seen it much online and its being delivered from China but the seller is Oral-B (quite sure of this because it has a authenticity verification badge)

[@kobyprospero6597]

oh sorry just double checked my order and its named as oral b pro 4000 3d smartseries ultrasonic but i noticed it does not have the bluetooth symbol on the handle like what ive seen on the internet?

[@ElectricTeeth]

It's a decent toothbrush, even without the Bluetooth. Better than the Pro 500 & 1000 in some ways. I'm presuming you are in Asia?

[@kobyprospero6597]

@@ElectricTeeth yup! will it still clean the same as the 500 or 1000? thats the only thing im looking for on the 500 and 1000

[@monio.9444]

I have a question. When I bought my brush, it said on the site Pro 500 but it looked like the Pro 1000. When I received the box, it says on the box Oral B Pro 1 (500) and the brush looks like the pro 1000 but it's a light blue colour. So I don't understand which brush it is in conclusion. (and it's not the pro 1500 cause that one has a light for pressure sensor) 🤔

[@ElectricTeeth]

Which country are you in? In some parts of the world, there is a Pro 500 that looks like the Pro 1000. Asia/Australasia being 2 examples.

[@monio.9444]

@@ElectricTeeth I am in Romania, small country in Europe.

[@ElectricTeeth]

OK, so I know Romania. I have to admit I don't have a great knowledge of all the models in Romania. It does sound like the Pro 500 in Romania is the same as the Pro 1000 (available in the USA/shown in this video).

[@monio.9444]

@@ElectricTeeth Thank you very much for the answer.

[@Florinda_5]

Same happened to me actually. I bought the Pro 1000 a few years back and I received the Pro 1500 (design) in a box that says Pro 1000. Considering buying the Pro 500 as well to see if I get a Pro 1000. :)

[@AtopRainleaf]

This is the pro 1000 handle I have, should I upgrade to the new handle? Not sure what’s new

[@ElectricTeeth]

If your current brush is working fine then no. The main difference with the new model is a more modern look. Its all plastic with no rubber grips on the front of the handle. Grip on the back has changed too.

[@shaikat207]

Can you please make a video on cleaning the brush, heads and the device.

[@ElectricTeeth]

We do have this on our list of videos to create in the future. I can't say when it will be, but it is one we would like to create at some time.

[@shaikat207]

@@ElectricTeeth i believe most of us needs to know the proper way especially for the oralb 500 version, wrong handling may damage the device.

[@Aross846]

I have the 500 do you recommend it

[@ElectricTeeth]

It does the job. I think there are better models, but no point switching if it is working fine for you.

[@julianwg92]

hi can you please do a review for Oclean X pro elite :)

[@ElectricTeeth]

Hi Julian. Yes, we will be. It has just arrived with us and we will be completing our review in the coming weeks.

[@TheOgi22]

Oral-B Pro 1000 has 20 000 / min oscilation??? not 40 000 / min?

[@ElectricTeeth]

Yes, 20,000 pulsations and 8,800 oscillations.

[@TheOgi22]

@@ElectricTeeth Where do you get that information from? It is written in all e-shops: - 8,800 / min oscillations - 40,000 / min pulsations

[@ElectricTeeth]

My information has come from the manufacturer, Oral-B. It might well be they have given the wrong info, but I work on the assumption of what they say to be correct.

[@TheOgi22]

@@ElectricTeeth I think the only solution is to test the real measured frequency without load and with load.

[@ElectricTeeth]

Are you in the USA? The model numbers can be different, but the brush look the same in different places. This is the Pro 500 we were including in this video: oralb.com/en-us/oral-b-pro-500-rechargeable-electric-toothbrush/ The Pro 1000 featured as since been upgraded/changed.

[@skidrow-black]

@@ElectricTeeth thanks. It make sense now. In Australia pro500 comes with 3d technology

[@WesJones-d2p]

Why didn't you show the base and the charging station of the Pro 500? You should always show everything from both products. I was going to mark dislike but I didn't want to ruin your counts. So take notes of it.

[@ElectricTeeth]

Thank you for the feedback we will take note. The charging stand is the same as the Pro 1000. We do also have a separate review both written and video of the Pro 500.
