The world of electric toothbrushes can be a difficult one to navigate. We all want our teeth to be as sparkling clean as possible between dental check-ups, but how much better is an electric toothbrush really is than a $5 manual? Not to mention that all toothbrushes aren’t created equally. Even if you are determined to make the switch to an electric brush or to upgrade, how do you know you’re getting what you’re paying for?
The truth is that it’s difficult to know what you’re getting until you get it. For this reason it’s best to shop around a little bit first. Customer reviews are some of the most reliable sources of information for pretty much anything, and the Oral-B Precision Black 7000 is no exception.
Basic Features and Description
The Precision Black 7000 includes three different replacement brush heads, one for sensitive teeth, one for whitening and another to handle flossing. It features a rechargeable handle and charging base, a SmartGuide timer (wall mountable, if you so desire) to ensure that you are brushing for a full two minutes, and even a sensor that lets you know when you are applying too much pressure.
As far as electric toothbrushes go, the Oral-B 7000 is pretty much at the top of the class when it comes to features. It is interchangeable with a variety of other, non-included, brushing heads as well, so you can be ensured that you can always get the most effective, most compatible brush to meet your needs. On top of that, it was created by Oral-B, so you know you can trust it.

Customer Reviews and Feedback
Overall, the Oral-B 7000 is a very highly rated electric toothbrush. With literally hundreds of ratings on Amazon.com alone, it still manages to rake in over a 4 star rating. At its higher-end price point, this is saying quite a bit. The reviews I’ve read are overwhelmingly favorable and average 4-5 stars each. Customers do have a bit to say about this toothbrush, and it’s not universally positive. However, it’s largely favorable.
Most consumers have a few, short-but-sweet words to say about this model. Most common is the fact that it gives them one of the best daily home cleanings of their lives. This toothbrush even outperforms the most high-end sonic brushes in performance and movements per minute. It’s not sonic, but it moves in 3 different ways/directions at the same time and is able to clean each individual tooth that much more efficiently for it.
Other accolades include words about the attractive design, the included timer (2 minutes for daily cleaning and 3 minutes for whitening), the gum-protecting sensor and the array of attachment heads that allow users to efficiently clean their entire mouth rather than just their teeth.
Of course, no product is loved by everyone and this electric toothbrush is no exception. There were a few customer reviews out there that were a bit critical. One of the most common complaints has to do with battery life. Apparently it takes almost a full 24 hours to charge fully and the battery only lasts 10 days with 4 minutes per day average usage. A few customers disliked the fact that the brush handle is black while the brush heads are white, that the price for the upgrade from the 5000 series isn’t worth what you get and that the charger isn’t suitable for international travel. Another common issue that seems to exist is that the charger light is extremely bright and can illuminate an entire bathroom in the dark of night.
Practical Tips and Tricks
The first thing that new users should keep in mind with the Oral-B Precision Black 7000 is to charge it fully right out of the box. There has been some less than stellar feedback regarding the length of time that this model takes to charge, so it’s best to put it on the charger right away and let it reach peak charge prior to using it. If you travel a lot, especially doing outdoorsy things where you don’t have access to a charger, don’t expect your brush to last longer than 10 days on a single charge.
Another one of the more common complaints regarding this model is the charging light. I’m sure how big of an issue this is for you would have to do with where your bathroom is in relation to where you’re trying to sleep. However, it’s worth bearing in mind that, at least for some, that blue glow gets to be too much. Charging during the day and unplugging at night seems to be a quick, easy and efficient fix. It will save power, too.
Make sure that you change your brush heads regularly for the best results. You can replace them with one that’s included in the packaging or use your favorite compatible Oral-B replacement brush head(s) for the best results.
Price Point and Comparisons
This Oral-B 7000 series electric toothbrush is one of the higher-end brushes on the market. It includes every bell and whistle you could possibly want, and many more you may never have considered. The price runs from about $150 to $220, depending on where you shop. Shopping around a bit is recommended with such a large price discrepancy, too.
The most comparable electric toothbrush on the market is the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean rechargeable. Both are well-reviewed and have similar price points. The Sonicare has fewer accessories and features, but seems to be a quality toothbrush as well. Overall, which one is favored seems to be a matter of personal preference.
