(REVIEW) oral-b “electric toothbrush” vitality pro 500 (braun) 2 minute timer

[@Tr0nzoid]

Thanks for noting the battery situation. Three years later and it is still designed this way. I guess this is what I get for buying something impulsively, rather than the more expensive and better detailed version my dentist recommended.

[@NorttVander]

i got mine today and noticed that too, i can't tell when is charging or not, seems like poorly made and i'm brazilian so it was very expensive... while americans lose 1000$ on a simple motorcycle but still a motorcycle, maybe second hand, idk, a top tier electric toothbrush here in Brasil costs R$1000+

[@bobbyray7558]

Which is...?

[@SoshiKyo]

Additional information for you guys: If you want to know whether the charging is working or not, turn your brush on then put it on the charger, if it suddenly stops, that means it goes to auto charging mode

[@SoshiKyo]

@Jason McConnell I didn't think the lady ever said it on the video (or I missed it), I just tried mine 2 weeks ago, I turned it on then put it on the charger, it automatically stopped, it went into charging mode

[@SoshiKyo]

@Jason McConnell pleasure

[@str9464]

@@SoshiKyo Hi, you can help me 2 weeks ago I bought my brush but about two days ago the battery ran out so I left it charging, and right now it does not work well, it turns on about 40 seconds and then it goes off (and I do not know if it has charge but I left it charging 16 hours)

[@SoshiKyo]

@@str9464 are you saying that you can use your brush for 2 weeks straight without charging it? Was it the first time you charged the brush? For me, full charged brush can be used for 7 days; 2 times a day. but there was one time the battery ran out and I (thought I) left it fully charging, but it ran out again (didn't remember exactly how long; perhaps only 2 days). I couldn't find out what the problem was since there's no battery indicator, or if the charger was broken, but the charger was fine. So here's my thought; you know the charging uses inductive charging type so you must place it right onto the charger stand - but I think at that time I didn't place it properly (slightly lifted), so although you charged it for 16 hours, it wasn't fully charged because the energy wasn't properly transmitted. After that, I always check it if I place it properly before I left my brush charging, and no issue since then. I'm not sure if we have similar problem or this could help 😅

[@ellemaria9624]

That's it, bought it a month a go. And so sad there's no light indicator ugh

[@jimmese252]

it's so ridiculous that it does not have a charging indicator. Mind blowing! I almost returned it, thank you for the video.

[@IceColdProfessional]

The electric toothbrush is one of the greatest inventions known to man! It has revolutionized my life with good, clean teeth! A thousand dollar smile that brings out the personality!!!

[@ThomasfromDenmark1]

You adressed my question about the charging light straight away! Thx

[@Eastsid3]

Spot on about the instructions being useless. No charging indicator and confusing instructions about the other models within the 500 series. I have the 3750, I wouldn't have known that until I carefully looked at the box. It's not readily visible and isn't in the instructions. Very annoying. Thank you for this breakdown of this model, way more helpful.

[@yuo1402]

Got this for $7 at an Amazon Bin store, and I am loving this product!

[@evatarida5439]

$7? 😅 it is sold for $22 here 😅😢

[@CoachShaunie]

Thank you so much. I thought my package was missing something because there was no indicator of it charging. Plus it's really loose on the base.

[@Hawki777]

Thanks for your review. It's a shame Oral-B could not include a charging light to indicate it is charging. IF I knew, there is no charging light on the brush, I would not have bought it. I bought from Costco, so it become to much trouble to know if it is charged or not - I will return it.

[@theodoradelaney7444]

Thank you so much. I was just about to throw my Oral B eletric toothbrush in the trash. Why because it wouldn't charge. I thought maybe there is a rechargeable battery that has died. Turns out your information about it only charging in the off position saved me. The problem is mine was totally dead. Watched your video. Charged again after clicking it one time...turned it off apparently. It's fully charged & working perfectly fine. Lesson learned never let it go completely dead. Thank you so much

[@Dallool555]

How to know i’m still stuck and mine is completely dead

[@theodoradelaney7444]

@Dallool555 I would press the button again and then try charging it again for many hours. If nothing happens...press button again try charging again, you are trying to fine the off pisition...oh and try another outlet .

[@EYECPEOPLE]

Thanks so much for the charging info... I would have never known 🤔

[@battmann7089]

Thanks for clarifying things with this device- it’s appalling that there are no instructions and no way of knowing if it’s on or off- they must have had a day off at the Braun factory the day this was designed. Add that to the fact that in the UK it has a ghastly Euro plug which is useless without an adaptor - more expense- a poor product from top to bottom. I won’t buy Braun again that’s for sure.

[@dawnnyoni4250]

As loud as it is when switched on it doesn't even beep when you place it on a charger, the charging department was all gonna be fired if this was an IPhone toothbrush. Thanks for the heads-up,much appreciated 🙏

[@jDot2414]

Really wish it had a light for when it was charging . Thanks for the video

[@Canadian_Networth]

All they had to write in the instructions was “trust it. It is recharging if placed in the base”. That’s all they had to write.

[@charlannp]

Mine did not come charged. I thought it just didn't work. And i didn't know if it was on or off or anything about the two minute timer... So before i threw it out, i looked for info online. Tysm for this video i was able to troubleshoot a toothbrush and it does work. Lol

[@VellaEwing917]

Who reads instructions we have KZbin Thanks for your visual information

[@LinDa-vx3ly]

The rings in multi-packs of brush heads come in different colors :-) that’s mostly for when multiple people decide to use one and the same toothbrush, but with a different head. My boyfriend and I always either use mine when he’s over at mine or his when I’m over at his. No way I’ll be borrowing his toothbrush, lol.

[@Minecraftürkçe]

Interesting part here is that in the instruction paper, there is also one extra thing but in the box, you cant find any so until you realize that extra thing is not necessary, it gives you headache.

[@Kitty_bandida22]

Thank you for the tutorial I really needed this, the instructions were so confusing and I felt like a pilgrim with it

[@monroeelliott1433]

Girl thank you so much for posting. If it wasn’t for your off /on comment ida thrown the entire toothbrush away. Lots of help thank you

[@jasminezoehodges2914]

Thanks for clearing up the light. I didn't realise!

[@pol4171]

Thanks for this video! I just bought one and was wondering how to see it is charged. I wish it was written in the manual. The holder is very inconvenient. I need to tape it on the table.

[@dilber9]

i bought mine this week, and I hope I learn to use it correclt sooner before I break it cause when i press it on the tooth it slows down.

[@mansouri9430]

Pressing a toothbrush on teeth is the worst thing you can do to your teeth, even worse than not brushing at all.

[@Toby_the_Glen]

This video really needs to be seen by oralB!

[@heisenberg2032]

Thank you! You saved me the hassle of going through the procedure for a replacement. I thought my new toothbrush broke since it doesn't have an indicator and I kept on charging at the on position after the battery drained.

[@enriqueluna8267]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Now I know that I am not Crazy.👍

[@Dustyscorner1111]

More advanced models of Oral b have a charging indicator and pressure sensor incase you press too hard

[@DariusSarrafi]

How do you know it's fully charged?

[@crsthxx]

Thank you! Answered all my questions than the manual 😅

[@rickeishamarshall3916]

Thank you, really helpful. I was wondering why there's no lights.

[@2010GRABOWSKI]

The switch isn't an on and off switch, if the battery dies while on then it will forget it's on so when you charge it, it won't come on until you press it

[@arvindkamath5155]

How does the timer work? I can't hear it or discern it so far.

[@DiamondPG]

It starts and stops the brush head repeatedly, about 3 times

[@bladeogre8657]

Thanks, was wondering about charging it for the first time. It being loose and having no light when charging is something I have not encountered before. Guess I am dealing with trial and error to see if the toothbrush is on or not so it can actually take a charge.

[@classicsalsa3589]

There is no way you are using that brush till runs out of charge because that's where it needs to be as soon as you are done... I have one and I love it..

[@Raj-nh3fc]

The vitality range are made at a price point, being available for as low as 17 Euro or dollars in Europe. This means every body can afford it and it even comes with a real charger (compare that to the Philips range that cost arm and a leg and does not come with a wall charger). You may be asking too much from a cheap but fully functional tooth brush. I have been using Braun tooth brushes of slightly higher models for almost 25 years now and their weaknesses are well known. They have a short battery charge life of only 1week due to NiMH batteries and the batteries degrade quickly within just a few years needing a new purchase. Recently they have switched to Li ion batteries in higher models so it should improve. The higher models with lights and whistles cost just a little bit more but still cheaper than the competition.

[@lucyauma1547]

How much is the brush

[@ivahn0]

This was my first brush from oral b. And it doesn’t have any light on it to indicate a battery status. It’s essential and not cost much to implement. This is the way you should feel that you bought a cheaper brush. So duck oralb my next brush will be Philips with all essential stuff out of the box. I don’t what to spend my time to google if the brush has an charging indicator.

[@mansoryO]

I was wondering the same thing when I got mine. I thought I had an electrical issue in my house thankfully I tested it after charging for like an hour

[@dateungolpe]

Thank you! I was about to return it as I thought it was not charging

[@errollgarnerjr8070]

I like the toothbrush so far. Thank you for this informative video.

[@ili.ilieva]

thanks for the video! does the timer start every time you press the start button? I feel like it would keep going forever if I don't stop it :D it just does buzz every now and again which supposedly is supposed to prompt one to move to a different area of the mouth.....

[@bernielovell2197]

I had problems charging the brush as when it runs out you have no power. The only way is to wait & see if it has any charge, & when it does not you must still have the Brush switched on. Meanwhile keep using the manual brush you need to have on standby as I did

[@jonathanguzmanvazquez8916]

you could buy a better version of it which is a little more expensive but it has a battery light sign that tells when the brush is running out of battery, I bought this vitality coming from the model above this but ended up buying the same model I had because of that

[@Skies2Cold]

Thank you!!! I was very confused about the charging when I opened mine last night.

[@MR-ul6bc]

Thank you, I just purchased one and was about to return it, due to not charging after many hours. I will see if it charges, by making sure it is in the off position

[@juliehaines9983]

Looking for the light for ages! Thank you x

[@khannahhaasan9582]

Thank you. This was helpful than the manual

[@DerrickGray-sx9ps]

Thanks just grabbed one today and I was confused about the charger I was wondering if it was just a stand but it says charger included and I didn't see a charging light indicator so your review helped me out with that I appreciate it. 😊

[@bellis8726]

Thanks for the clarity I had an older version which had a light that went off when it was charged. This one is useless u have no idea if it charging or not or when its finished.

[@IThinkICare]

I didn't know what was that sound change so thanks. Do you ever have water coming out next to the metal ?. (head off)

[@mansoryO]

Honestly I highly recommend the Xiaomi mi brush because it's actually one third the price and is way more feature packed

[@deepblue1909]

what if i wanted to brush my teeth more than 2 minutes?

[@jonathanguzmanvazquez8916]

the brush still goes on, don't worry I have one and I get to brush my teeth between 3-4 minutes

[@cristoviene9893]

Para cambiar el cabezal he tenido que buscar videos hasta que he dado con éste..... porque llevo como 15 minutos intentandolo y no había manera de sacarlo (ya podrían ponerlo de otra forma más fácil ) o indicarlo mejor.......así que gracias por el vídeo

[@SusanNorvell]

How do you start the timer and does it have lights. I used my new Oro 500 and a timer never indicated for me..

[@zimmmerit6308]

In instructions, it written 24h and there is charging symbol. what that means? when its ran out of battery I must charge it 24 hours long?

[@sarahmillson1594]

Thanks for the video :) I’ve just bought the same one and I’m wondering if I need to charge it straight away? It seems like it’s fully charged already

[@bigtoere]

Main exactly the same, bought it for $40 in Australia, yeah and it strange the charger has no indicator at all.

[@yaggieminka5657]

I am still confused. So how do you know ow if its charor not maybe missed something but it wasn't clear please re-explain thank you

[@Joaleruiz72]

Can it always be left charging?

[@mannydabest16]

yes the instructions tell you it's safe and impossible to overcharge

[@Stevoherve]

My instructions said it will minimise the life of it.

[@lianatheghost9357]

I wish The "timer" was a noise, and not that weird pulsing sensation. It says in the instructions that it will "beep". Also, the instructions say there are 2 modes, if you press quickly on the "on" button, but mine only has an extremely fast mode!

[@shrutichoudhury1795]

It fits perfectly if you turn it around and put it in for charging

[@markb1822]

Where did u get the brush head? I don't see heads that big on oral-b's website. Can you give me the model name/number? thanks!

[@ango3185]

Hey I just got mine but it's really low power (nothing turn or really vibrate) does it mean that it's not charged ?

no

[@goth9160]

depends on which oral B electric toothbrush you get, there are different ones . This specific one does not have that

[@RoseluvsHHR]

Okay so I used mine up until it no longer powered on. How do I know if it's in the on or off position then? I have been trying to charge the dang thing for almost two days and it still won't turn on and I just bought it a few weeks ago.

Did you figure out?

[@maryamali-th4ft]

My brush is not working...😢😢how can i check issue?

[@juliapayne4511]

I could not figure out why it wasn't working turns out you have to take it off the stand for it to work and it will start making the toothbrush noises when it works again

[@bhmsupra]

Good review. Your comments lead the viewer to believe that brUaun simply left off forgot to add all the bells and whistles (lights, beeps, locking base) by accident. The game with this unit was big box distribution and price point. May seem obvious but your review suggests otherwise.
