        I use an Oral B electric toothbrush also. I can’t remember the model, but its all black. Has indication light if brushing to hard and pulse mode. Battrie last ages before needing charged. twice a day use, use normal toothbrush inbetween.

          Me and Mrs kezo use Oral B pro 3, after switching from Phillips Sonicare last year. My daughter uses the Oral B pro 2 for the last couple of years.

            I have an Oral B electric toothbrush that is at least 5 years old. I change the brush head regularly and it goes for ages without recharging.

                  I’ve got an oral B and it usually goes around 10-12 days between charges, it’s about 4 years old.

                    You may find this useful Mike

                    The Vitality Pro @joss  mentioned but not on the list, has a 10day battery life and takes 22hrs to charge, Compared with the more basic Vitality plus that has a 8 day battery life and 16hr charge time.

                    The Oral B Pro 3 has a liyhium battery with 14+ day usage and takes 12hrs to charge, compared to the Oral be Pro 2 has a lithium battery with 14+day use and takes 15hrs to charge. Both the Pro 2 and 3 are available at the same price of about £40.

                    Electric teeth have some good revies of each model

                      Amazon has a load of Oral B toothbrushes on offer today, many over 50% off. They have one for £22.

                          That no doubt depends how many times a day you brush your teeth and how long for!

                          I would say I get somewhere around 14-16 days out of my Pro 3

                                    My first oral b electric toothbrush used AA batteries, imo I didn’t find the motor as powerful as ones with inbuilt battery. However I was a smoker at the time!

                                    Use decent quality batteries and it should last longer per set than a rechargeable toothbrush.

                                    Let us know what you think of it after using it 🙂

                                              Ouch, lol!

                                              I have a good friend who was a beautician before she retired. She comes round to care for my feet and I would struggle without her.

                                              Mike, buying a “battery operated” toothbrush can become a more expensive option than paying more for an efficient chargeable brush. Sometimes looking for the cheapest option isn’t the best way to go.

                                                      The battery powered toothbrush came this morning was easy to put the supplied batteries in its very powerful and has indicator on head when needs replacing ! Easy to hold too as thick and has grips on the side ! I love it will get cheap Duracell batteries from home bargains when it needs them !

                                                        You can pick up a box of 10 Energiser industrial or Procell/procell intense (duracell ) industrial for about a fiver, with long expiry date, or a box of 5 for about £3.50.

                                                        I get mine from pstsupplies mainly, sometimes gadgetowl. Both are on ebay and sell genuine batteries.

                                                        They are the same as the equivulent retail batteries but, come in box or loose depending how many you buy, rather than retail blister packs. This therefore keeps the price down for trades!
