Great Product
I bought this to replace a 5 year old Oral B unit. The old unit needed charging a couple of times a week at the end and the charger also got flaky.

Oral-B is a Great Value
I am really pleased with my Oral-B Professional Care toothbrush kit. The first time I used it, my mouth and teeth felt a new level of cleanliness.

This is a great value for couples since it comes with one charger/brush head holder and 2 toothbrushes.

This is the first electric toothbrush my husband and I have used. We both love it. Your teeth feel extra clean right away. The small head lets you reach your back teeth easily. I’m happy there isn’t an actual “beep” after each quadrant, just a pause. The fact that the toothbrush stays on after 2 minutes is very nice! My lower gums are more sensitive than my upper gums, and I can change the setting to sensitive to brush my lower teeth after I used the regular setting on my top teeth. After I charge our handles, I don’t charge them again for a week and a half (I haven’t pushed my battery to it’s limit yet). I hide the small base under the sink. I don’t have any complaints about the toothbrush and would recommend using it to anyone.

3.0 out of 5 stars Oral B 8950
I regret paying 1-3 day shipping as it took nearly two weeks to arrive. The brush is wonderful. Brand new as published. Works incredibly well!

4.0 out of 5 stars great value
I love everything except the the two speeds. You have to push the button twice to turn it off. I prefer just an on/off switch.

We purchased the Oral B Professional Care 8950 a few months ago. We researched several different products. The research suggested that Oral B brushes with pulsation and oscillation did a slightly better job than comparable Sonicare models. Choosing which model to purchase was difficult because the product descriptions did not tells us what the differences were. The 7000,8000 and 9000 series all offered the pulsation and oscilation features. We read a lot of reviews (especially the negative ones) at Amazon and other places. Good reviews outweighed bad for all 3 series. The 9000 Triumph Series was the most expensive and had a lot of extra high tech bells and whistles. Bottom line is the 9000 with all it's high tech gadgets had a lot more things that could go wrong and the negative reviews suggest that when they did, they weren't easy to fix. The 8950 offered everything we wanted without the high tech extras that didn't seem to add much value but increased the possibility that something could go wrong. There weren't a lot of reviews of the 8950 but they were all positive. The 8950 is a great product. It comes with a small charging base (great for a small bathroom), it cleans easily with hot water (no complicated cleaning systems - just rinse thoroughly with hot water and put it back on the stand),it can't be overcharged (just put it on the stand and it continually charges), and it was considerably less expensive (approximately $100) than the 9000. Best of all, it does a great cleaning job as advertised. For many year my wife had sore gums in spite of brushing and flossing 3 times a day. within a month of using the 8950 her gums improved markedly and are now perfectly healthy. We are very pleased with our purchase and would strongly recommend the 8950.
