Oral-B Pro 700 black electric toothbrush $49.99 at Shaver Shop - includes travel case.
This is a great deal for this particular model which is a lot better than the vitality range. Closest equivalent on PriceSpy is the Oral-B Pro 500 for $79 (in stock) with no travel case.
Plenty of stock was available today at the Sylvia Park store and units are in-stock online as well.
Good spot, looks like Pricespy hasn't picked that price from JB. It's not easy to find a comparison but I think the 500 doesn't have a pulsating action whilst the 700 does.
I do recommend going electric. There's an instant difference from manual brushing since the head moves so much quicker.
Thanks, just purchased from briscoes, after price match it is around 45 dollars.
Thanks for the heads up, did the same today :)
Was $10 shipping for me
Go for the Pro 700 over the 500 as it has the Lithium Battery to give your 2 weeks of use while travelling and comes with a cool travel case.
My Pro 2000 is way better and faster cleaning than my previous couple of cheap Vitality I have use in the past. It is worth the extra expense and hopefully the lithium battery will last more than 2-3 years that I was getting out of the Ni-Cd battery in the Vitality models.
Are they still using Ni-Cd??? My old one uses a NiMH battery, which was supposed to be the replacement for Ni-CD years ago.
Just check my partners 1yr old Vitality and it is Ni-Cd as were all Vitality models I had in the past. Ni-Cd is better for continuous trickle charging than NiMH from what I read.
My old Pro 1000 battery is now down to just one brush, but it has lasted at least 5 years. I can't remember exactly when I bought it but it was a long time ago
Just checked the bottom of my Pro 700 and says it uses Ni-MH (Nickel–metal hydride) not Lithium
Yep, some false adverting by shaver shop.
I checked them in store and both the current model of the Pro700 and the older box "limited" edition both have Ni-MH batteries. The newer version has an advertised charge life of 10 days, and the 'limited' one has an advertised battery of 7 days. Pretty poor by shaver shop.
If you want the top of the line model -
Get the Oral-B Genius 9000 for $88 USD (~$138 NZD) at Joybuy (https://www.joybuy.com/600115629.html)
Better price than Shaver Shop, it just doesn't come with the travel charging case, comes with a standard charger.
Genuine Oral-B, has the Lithium Ion battery, lasts 2 weeks before needing to charge. Heaps of different modes and comes with 3 different brush heads. I like the Pro Clean mode, cleans way faster, apparently 44,000 pulsations per minute.
Problem is plug is not AU compatible. Usually I'm not fussed with adapters but having a potentially loose connection next to water isn't fun.
True, but I just charge it outside the bathroom since it lasts 2 weeks on one charge anyway.
Minor correction. Oral B pro 500 is available from JB Hifi for $45.
Never used any electric toothbrush, even though I am contemplating to get one. Every time I end up getting a good quality (manual) toothbrush :)
