I like most people don't read instructions on a toothbrush...I thought my toothbrush was faulty with the red light coming on after a few seconds of using it. I thought the battery was running out. Now I know I was putting too much pressure on to my teeth. Thank you

[@holden5010]

Just received this today. First time using an electric toothbrush. I’m really impressed with the three cleaning modes and the pressure sensor. So far, I’m happy with the purchase.

How's it now?

[@toanluong4736]

Thank you so much for the review. I have decided to settle on this brush and man it’s awesome. 😁

[@andylopez142]

I just received this model of the toothbrush. And I have to say. They are knocking it out of the park. The brush head feels nice and soft. And after cleaning my teeth. I feel like I just left a dental office. Update, after having it for almost 6 months. I actually prefer this toothbrush over the sonicare toothbrushes. In my opinion it feels more comfortable for me to brush with this particular brush because of the round brush head. After all, when a hygienist cleans your teeth the brush head that they use is also round as well.

[@kimberella2105]

I just bought this one at the store because of your other review vs philips. Now I’m watching this to see how to use this properly lol

[@salriggione]

Agreed. I'm just trying to brush my teeth and get on w the day. Didn't realize I would have to read a manual to do so.

[@zunairmushtaq5888]

I bought this after your review. Excellent cleaning. Thank you. One question though, am I doing it wrong or do you have to press the power key 4 times to turn it off ? Because it keeps on switching modes for the first three presses

[@ElectricTeeth]

Glad you like. You can turn it off that way or press and hold it for about 2 seconds and that will turn it off too.

[@zunairmushtaq5888]

@@ElectricTeeth Wow. Thanks for letting me know. Long press did the trick

[@zoeysingh4028]

Hi there great video can you please tell me what exactly is the difference between the daily clean mode and the whitening mode.

[@ElectricTeeth]

Hi Zoe. The difference is relatively minor. What changes is the number of oscillations and pulsations of the brush head on each mode. With the Daily Clean mode the oscillations are 8,800 with up to 40,000 pulsations. With the whitening mode the oscillations are between 6,100 and 8,800 with pulsations of 28,000-40,000.

[@crusader7421]

How did it clean ??

[@munchiesmidnight9330]

How's it working for ya

[@Robert-yp9zs]

Not knowing the "mode" one is in is an unacceptable design failure. How does find out? The very least the design wizards (?) at Oral B should have done is some lit indicator on the power oval to tell you which mode is active. Maybe in the "Smart 1500 V2.0?"

[@juankroosfrausto7411]

What is that open gap in between the brush head and where you attach to handle

[@ElectricTeeth]

There is usually a 1mm gap between the bottom of the head and the handle. It is designed like that.

[@melissahollowell7255]

I want to up my brushing game. I currently use a Spin Brush in the morning and a manual at night. I don't know why but I just do. My issue is I hesitate to sink a lot of money in a device only for it to be discontinued. I don't want to be back at square one plus out the funds. Crossing fingers it will be part of the upcoming Amazon Prime days.

[@ElectricTeeth]

Models do get updated/replaced, but not all that often. The brush heads from Oral-B stay around for years. If you want a better value Oral-B model consider the Pro 1000. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6m0hJp8e7qsedU

[@MissVampireLover1993]

So I looked up if it connects to Bluetooth it doesn't I thought all of the ones that said smart would connect to Bluetooth or the Oral B app but I'm assuming it only works for newer models so I'm kinda disappointed that it will not work with Bluetooth or the app but I did purchase the smart 1500 rechargeable toothbrush because it is somewhat cheaper than the newer models which there is so many new ones and I noticed that some of the newer models say the same features or say they remove up to the same amount of plaque like this model I believe this is my first Oral B toothbrush and I am excited to see if I feel or notice any difference in my mouth and teeth I have been using a Sonic toothbrush because I thought they worked just as good but the Sonic one I had would just vibrate so I don't think it worked as good cleaning my teeth and inside of my mouth so I'm hoping this model helps my teeth because I hate going to the dentist and having cavities and I think it would be a good starter toothbrush maybe one day I'll get a newer model but for now I'll get used to this one first and it might even be better than the newer ones you never know and I was kinda hesitant to begin with on getting a Bluetooth one because I figured it would be hard to figure out but I really hope I love this one 😊I just got it today

[@uranium5694]

So does the Oral B Smart 1500 replaces the Pro 2 2500 as the best value for money electric toothbrush or the Pro 2 2500 is still the best value toothbrush money can buy?

[@ElectricTeeth]

Great question. The Smart 1500 isn't currently sold in the UK/EU, only the USA. Therefore it does not replace the Pro 2 2500.

[@uranium5694]

@@ElectricTeeth I see. Well we will find out when the smart 1500 is released in Europe if it is better than the Pro 2 2500. Thank you for replying!

[@ElectricTeeth]

Having used both, there is basically no difference. In fact, the motor (as I understand it) is marginally better in the Pro 2 2500. Also the extra grip on the brush handle of the 2500 is nice. Although it could be argued the 1500 looks a bit cleaner.

[@uranium5694]

@@ElectricTeeth I really like the ring LED for the pressure sensor on the Smart 1500 that is similar to how the pressure sensor LED is on the genius toothbrushes.

[@Justabakaholic]

so as far as I understand, this Smart 1500 is exactly the same as Pro 3000 right?

[@ElectricTeeth]

Yes that is correct.

[@fluffyfeathers.9541]

I bought an oral b 1500X today. There is no light up pulsating light. Are there 2 different brushes, oral b 1500 and oral b 1500 X ? I need to take this back . I want the light one.

[@ElectricTeeth]

Are you based in Australia? If so, the Pro 1500X is a little different to the Smart 1500 shown in this video. Confusingly models vary across the world. The Pro 1500X does not have the 'light ring' that the Smart 1500 has. If you want this, you will need to opt for the Pro 3000 available in Australia. It's the equivalent model to the Smart 1500.

[@fluffyfeathers.9541]

Hi Yes I'm from Australia, I ended up buying the pro 2 2000 I really hope this is a good one. Wish I read this message earlier as I only purchase yesterday.

[@ElectricTeeth]

The Pro 2 2000 is still a cracking product, so don't worry. It was the one we recommended before the Pro 3 3000 arrived. Not much difference, mainly updated design.

[@fluffyfeathers.9541]

@@ElectricTeeth Thank you so much for your help 😊

[@jaysoegaard]

Does the lites on the ring turn on automatcially , because my lights remain off while brushing. Thanks for your time.

[@ElectricTeeth]

The light ring around the neck of the brush will only be lit red when the pressure sensor is activated. At all other times it is off.

[@jaysoegaard]

@@ElectricTeeth thank 🙇 you

[@CarvedCulture]

I enjoyed the toothbrush review, I just released a video using the genius 9900 which is my first electric toothbrush and whilst it seemed good it didn't remove the tartar build up, do you have any recommendations?

[@ElectricTeeth]

Watched your video. Great to hear your thoughts. Tartar can only be removed by a dentist or dental hygienist. Go get your teeth cleaned by a pro, then use the Genius 9000 and the results should last for a long time.

[@cybertroy2]

Hi, i have a very old oral b toothbrush (3709 pro ). is it worth it to upgrade to these newer brushes? will it make a big difference to the cleaning? There's a half price deal at the shop for a oral B Smart 4 4000n for AUD$99 and also a oral B pro 3000 for AUD$79. i am leaning toward the smart 4 as the pro 3000 isnt a pro 3.

[@ElectricTeeth]

You will notice a difference by upgrading. It won't be a huge difference but it should be noticeable. Sounds a good price for the Smart 4 4000. Our top pick for Australia is the Pro 2 2000 which is usually around $90ish so an extra $10 for the extra features of the Smart 4 is not bad at all.

[@richardwilson5709]

question is there another series of this toothbrush that is not as noisy? do the other Oral B brushes make the same sound? thanks

[@ElectricTeeth]

Hi Richard. Afraid not. The iO Series is a touch quieter than most other Oral-B models. If you want a quiet brush you need to look at Sonic brushes like the Philips Sonicare brushes. As a general rule Sonic toothbrushes are quieter.

[@msj.randel1496]

My oral b smart 1500, doesnt have anything lighting up. No lit up ring. Just goes to 3 modes but don't know what those modes are....:(

[@ElectricTeeth]

The modes are likely Daily Clean, Sensitive and Whitening. That is the order they usually work in. It seems odd you have nothing lighting up. Do you have the ring around the top of the brush handle? Do you have a red plastic panel on the top of the handle on the rear edge?

[@rydmerlin]

Where does this model rank when compared to Triumph 4000 I’v been using for several years.

[@ElectricTeeth]

I think it would be fair to say it is the newer equivalent. The battery life should be better. The motor is likely a bit more powerful too. I don't recall the exact power of the Triumph motor.

[@mac121mr0]

Is this electric toothbrush better than the Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 5100 for braces care?

[@ElectricTeeth]

There is little between them. Clinical evidence sides with Oral-B (just about) but this data is not based purely for brace wearers. Essentially either are great if you use them correctly.

[@Filip-vf2jc]

Great Review as always :]. Could you please make a video about Sunstar Power Gum Care electric toothbrush? I have very sensitive teeth and i'm looking for something delicate yet powerful for my teeth. Thank you :]

[@ElectricTeeth]

Thanks. I will add this brush to our list of ones to review in the future. I am afraid I can't say if and when this will be. But, rest assured it has been added as one to consider.

[@Robert-yp9zs]

Another design weakness (or oversight or flaw). It concerns the mode-on/off selector button. It needs a raised nipple so it can easily be found by feel. The present very subtle depression is not easily found, if at all, when one's hand is wet. While one may start the process with thumb on button, while brushing, one rotates the brush in hand, so thumb is no longer on button!. Now, when one wants to it turn off (or switch modes) one cannot easily find button by feel. Thus, a raised surface is needed. Please fix for V2.0.

It really depends how you define better. Out of the 2, our top pick is the Oral-B Smart 1500. But, the Oclean X Pro Elite is a fantastic brush for the price. It does offer a little better value for money. Both clean the teeth well, if used correctly.

Hi Jenny. I think you left a comment on our website too, so same reply here. This is interesting. Our unit definitely had 3 modes. However I can now see that Oral-B’s website has been updated to suggest only 2. In truth it was somewhat of a surprise that the 1500 did have 2 when we reviewed it.

I hate that I have to replace the whole 1500 every 2-3 years, since they make it impossible to change the battery & designed it for the dump. Bad for the environment. Shame on you in 2023, oral-b. Are the new 1500 compatible with the old 1500 charger or any oral-b base that fits? I hate the 2nd button. It’s useless. I keep pressing it to turn it on & gets me frustrated I have to look down & choose a button now. I think the added modes are a waste, I brush my teeth for three-4 minutes & adding modes with lulls will just waste more of my time, thanks for nothing oral-b. I guess I don’t find any of the new features necessary, useful or an upgrade. Just drop the price. The only improvement needed, to an already perfect previous iteration product. Not add unnecessary junk to jack up the price.

[@ElectricTeeth]

Sorry to read that your brushes have failed. Yes, the 1500 is compatible with older 1500 or other standard style Oral-B stands. You could look at the Pro 1000. It only has 1 cleaning mode. It does lack visible pressure sensor and the motor isn't quite as powerful. but not a lot in it. It's cheaper at around $50.

[@capcom4eva]

@@ElectricTeeth it looks like the pro 1000 is rechargeable, meaning no swappable battery. Is the pro 100 the best swappable battery oral b? Looks like it’s lacking features in the 1500 that actually matter, like performance.

[@ElectricTeeth]

Correct the Pro 1000 has a built in rechargeable. Was offering at a s 'cheaper option'. The Pro 100 is the best Oral-B with removable battery but it has many limitations. No electric toothbrushes I can think of have user replaceable rechargeable batteries. If you are open to other brands, you should consider SURI. It is a sonic toothbrush that is designed intentionally to allow the battery to be replaced, albeit by the manufacturer. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKnFgmuwaqpqbc0
