Tools and Hardware Reviews of Oral B Precision Clean, formerly Flexisoft toothbrush heads, 6 Ct
Customer Review: Braun brushes are excellent, BEWARE OF KNOCKOFFS
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're buying the original Braun product, you're in for a treat. These brushes (really, the whole Oral-B system) will pay for itself the first time you visit the doctor. I had numerous dental issues earlier in my life and spent countless hours at the dentist. That all ended, literally overnight, when I bought my first Oral B toothbrush with these heads.
Suddenly no more cavities, no more gingivitis, healthier gums, cleaner teeth, brighter smile, fresher breath.
This particular model, the Precision is the best model Braun makes IMO. The other brushheads don't do as they promise and are far bulkier and harder to use (the "Floss Action" product borders on false advertising). But these heads... you'll thank the day you bought your first one for the rest of your life. Worth every penny, and it'll pay for itself manyfold.
That being said, it sounds like lots of people have problems with knock offs, so make sure you're buying genuine product with a more recent production date (though the latter is next to impossible when buying on-line I suppose). BEWARE OF KNOCKOFFS.
Customer Review: Not as good as they used to be.
Summary: 2 Stars
I have noticed that other reviewers have wondered if these are real Oral B or knockoffs. Mine came in a sealed blister pack, and everything looked genuine based on my prior purchases of brush heads.
These don't fit snugly on the power brush, and I have had the head slip off numerous times. I never had this problem with previous brush heads. They also seem to be wearing out more quickly, the brush is very loose and wobbles around. It would take 3 times as long to see this level of wear on the previous brush heads.
My power brushes are quite old now, and I won't be buying any more brush heads with the loss of quality. It seems that the manufacturing process has changed, and quality has suffered as a result. These things are *expensive*, and I am not paying a premium price for a poor quality product.
The "throw away" power brushes are looking like a good alternative, even though they are not as environmentally friendly. $7 each at a retail store, and you can probably find them for less.
Customer Review: Alert! Probably counterfeit
Summary: 1 Stars
I should have known this is too good to be true. Instead of rotating, the heads simply vibrates. Some of them also doesn't fit quite snugly, and are prone to come off while you are brushing. Another telltale sign that I have read in a review of similar items is the "indicator bristles" doesn't fade.
I also have the feeling that these shady merchants may change their names to try to avoid being found out. The merchant I bought from was "Platanus Home Stores", and in the review I mentioned above was listed under merchant name "Direct Super Center". Then when I clicked on the link under "Item being reviewed", the merchant name is now NEWBOLZ.
Finally, I hope Amazon.com would be vigilant enough to "crack down" on such practice of selling counterfeit products.
Customer Review: exactly as promised
Summary: 4 Stars
The toothbrushes were exactly as promised.
One downside that I have is that they, like all of the others that I have ever had with this electric toothbrush, have a slot in the back of the brush, so that the spit dribbles out onto the toothbrush, and then possibly onto my hand, or drips off, so I have to be leaning over the sink to catch drips.
The other drawback is that the brush can come off the handle more easily that I would like, so it sometimes happens while I am brushing my teeth. I don't remember that from earlier ones, but that may be the age of my toothbrush (which is almost 10 years old now) and not the fault of the replacement heads.
Customer Review: Beware! Items are defective.
Summary: 1 Stars
Why are they still selling this item? I bought six heads. Two of the heads broke from the handle. I had used the heads for about 2 weeks each. After the second head broke, I returned the brush heads to Amazon for a refund. After reading the reviews, I can't believe that these heads are still being sold on Amazon. I have been using these brush heads for years (bought from other sellers) and have not had any problems with the brush heads until now. This was the first time I bought the heads from this seller. I won't be buying this item from this seller again.
