Oral-B Vitality Floss Action Electric Toothbrush

[This review was collected as part of a promotion. ] The Vitality provides a consistent cleaning action compared to a manual toothbrush and will be beneficial for your dental health if you use it correctly. It has a 2 minute timer and the motor pauses briefly 3 times causing a change in the sound and motion. This is the timer telling you the recommended 2 minute cleaning time has passed. The toothbrush feels secure in your hand as it has a grip that covers two thirds of the brush handle, if the handle gets wet with dribble or while using, it doesn't slip out of your hand. The Vitality has no warning when the battery is low. There is no battery icon, so you don’t know the battery is low until you hear, see and feel the movements in the brush head slowing. You need to ... More[This review was collected as part of a promotion. ] The Vitality provides a consistent cleaning action compared to a manual toothbrush and will be beneficial for your dental health if you use it correctly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion. ] Upon receiving the product I read many interesting features about this particular toothbrush on the box. The 'Floss Action' is prominent and it looked like a toothbrush that would do the job well. It is also compatible with other Oral B heads if the 'Vitality Plus' head wasn't suitable for me. This Vitality Plus head though looks bigger than others I have seen, and I can certainly say, it really does clean well. I really like the timer feature though. A dentist said to my young daughter that it is important to brush your teeth for 2 minutes every day. This feature really does help you achieve this. It is a lot longer than I usually brush my teeth for and I thought I brushed my teeth well. This surprised me and I ... More[This review was collected as part of a promotion. ] Upon receiving the product I read many interesting features about this particular toothbrush on the box.

Whilst the bristles turning yellow does remind you when to change, they usually show signs of wear too that would help in deciding this. Just an added bonus though as seeing really is believing.

Designed to Fail--to Rip Off Consumers

Oral-B and similar manufacturers are ridiculously high sums of $$ for a product that simply stops working after days or a few weeks due to battery-recharging issues. The corporations are cheating customers in that they are not incentivized to fix the battery problems. Why fix it, when Oral B can simply sell another toothbrush (for up to $200 ) to an unsuspecting consumer who is led to believe that he/she simply got a dud??The federal consumer Trade Commission should be investigating %26 pursuing law suits against Oral B and similar scamming companies. Shame on them. And, shame on us for falling for such corrupt consumer product practices (if it was intentional, it could go criminal...)

Get it you won’t regret it!

My dental hygienist recommended I try an electric toothbrush that was rechargeable, so I checked Walmart to see what was available. The price of this toothbrush was what pulled me most toward it. I was also looking for a rounded head as well verses the longer type that does not seem to fit the teeth as well.I was floored by how well this toothbrush worked. It gives that extreme well cleaned feeling that the polisher they use at the dentist office does. It’s not too harsh and the bristles did not feel hard either.My hygienist told me to let the toothbrush do the work and to not move it back and forth like we are all so use to doing. So I did keep that in mind and let the toothbrush just sit on my teeth and do the work.I love the timer on it as well because I know ... MoreMy dental hygienist recommended I try an electric toothbrush that was rechargeable, so I checked Walmart to see what was available.

My teeth feel so smooth and clean! I highly recommend this toothbrush! The price is great and it works amazing!

Good enough!

This isn't fancy at all, but great enough. I used (and still use) an expensive flagship model of Oral-B and Sonicare. But, to my great surprise, I've found that this basic simple one is more than enough. It works as well. What's important (at least for me) seems to be using good brush heads. I have sensitive teeth, so I need to use a very soft brush head even if it's expensive.One room for improvement: I wish it has a battery light indicating that it's being charged. But, given the price (~$20), I cannot complain.I'll continue to buy this model.

Great Clean!! Need Softer Bristles Heads!

This honestly was a great buy for the money! I was a bit worried over the round brush although I know dentists say it’s better for more precise cleaning… it gets the backs of my molars wayyy in the back better than anything ever %26%26 my teeth %26 gums FEEL more clean! However I do think these brush heads are way too tall!! Oral B is the Original but there’s many other brands; but it’s like a very tight fit between teeth %26 cheek %26 just feels way too tall for what a tooth brush should be %26%26 I had to get a different toothbrush for my son because he constantly complains it is too big %26 too hard to brush with… but if you give it time you get used to it!! I will say that I love how it cleans my teeth but I do think the brush head that comes with is too rough.. ... MoreThis honestly was a great buy for the money!

But 8/10 %26 10/10 clean!!((Honest Reviewer :: I love it but I do suggest age 8/9%26up %26 definitely replace with soft heads for kids! Soft with NO RUBBERscrub bristles!! My son HATES it %26beg for a new tooth brush because he said that brush head hurt him too much %26hes 10))

Great bang for your buck

I was overwhelmed by the different models and brands of electric toothbrushes that are currently on the market, so after some light research I knew I wanted one that was circular and rotated. I also didn't want to spend more than $50 since they all essentially do the same thing. This one is slightly above the base $5-8 model and less expensive than the pro, so I settled on this one. This is my first time buying an electric toothbrush and my experience with the vitality model has been great! I've been using it this past week while I was waiting to get a deep clean from my dentist, it reached areas I couldn't reach and helped to reduce the pain a bit (obviously not a lot because that's what the dentist is for). It buzzes 3 times when your 2 minutes are up and when you ... MoreI was overwhelmed by the different models and brands of electric toothbrushes that are currently on the market, so after some light research I knew I wanted one that was circular and rotated.

It buzzes 3 times when your 2 minutes are up and when you have to charge it there's a small light that turns green when it's done. Make sure to follow the care and use instructions and everything should go great!

I love my new rechargeable toothbrush

I have never tried any electric toothbrushes before, and I don’t have any real expectations from it. Well, I’m super excited to have an opportunity to try the Oral-B Vitality Rechargeable Toothbrush, and let me tell you how much I regretted for not getting one earlier. This rechargeable toothbrush with FlossAction trademark has changed the way how I brush my teeth every single day and night.The toothbrush feels so comfortable with easy to use one button on and off feature. The round brush head is fully equipped with MicroPulse Brittles and FlossAction combination to help deeply clean between teeth in order to remove foods, plaque more effective than manual toothbrush. This toothbrush helps clean, polish and floss the teeth using the built in timer so you don’t ... MoreI have never tried any electric toothbrushes before, and I don’t have any real expectations from it.

This toothbrush helps clean, polish and floss the teeth using the built in timer so you don’t over brushing your teeth like I used to. The brush head works perfectly well as it cleans the teeth at the same time massaging the gum, stimulates the blood circulation to promote a healthy gum line.Ever since I started using this Oral-B Vitality Rechargeable Toothbrush, my teeth look a lot brighter, clean and healthier gum line. I truly loved my new toothbrush and would recommend this without any hesitation. Thanks!

If I could give 0 stars I would.

I haven’t even had the toothbrush a month and hate it already! It was making a strange noise and upon further investigation, I noticed there was water accumulating in the handle. I removed the brush head and held it upside down while it was turned on and discolored water began dripping from around the metal piece the brush fits on. I started storing my toothbrush upside down when not charging to let it drain, but it is disgusting to know that water is stuck in there. Also the brush head is so hard it has made my gums raw! I am a religious flosser and I don’t have sensitive gums. I like a firmer toothbrush and I make sure to brush my teeth and along the gum line, but this is next level. My gums bleed everytime I brush and it hasn’t gotten better with time, worse ... MoreI haven’t even had the toothbrush a month and hate it already!

My gums bleed everytime I brush and it hasn’t gotten better with time, worse actually. I am very disappointed, I love a good electric toothbrush, they make your teeth feel so clean! I am also disappointed with oral b money back guarantee… you have to have the original barcode off the box, the original receipt, and you are responsible for shipping cost. I have Walmart so I don’t keep most receipts with a digital copy available and I sure didn’t keep the box. I also think it’s stupid to pay return shipping- money back guarantee except by the time you ship it back, you won’t have any money returned to you. I know it’s only $20, just know you get what you pay for!

Too aggressive on my gums but really clean teeth

I don’t like this toothbrush. I tried it for quite a while and it’s just not for me. I’ve used different brands of electric toothbrushes for years, and I just don’t like this one. It kind of feels like I put a little hand mixer in my mouth, just way too aggressive of the vibration. I’m a regular flosser, with good dental visits and this toothbrush made my gums bleed the first few times. Part of the issue is that the rotating head is just too large, but also, the motor is very loud and aggressive.One thing that is superior to my other experiences is that this one pulsates after 2 minutes but doesn’t shut off. Sometimes I like to go a little bit longer if I felt like I missed a spot. However, with this toothbrush, I found myself just hoping it was done.Another ... MoreI don’t like this toothbrush.

However, with this toothbrush, I found myself just hoping it was done.Another positive is that my teeth were very clean when I used it, but I couldn’t help wondering if it was causing too much harm to my gum line. I included a comparison picture so you can see the side of the toothbrush head. I might try a different style head to see if I like this toothbrush more, but as-is, I can’t use it daily.
