“Satisfaction guaranteed or your money back.”
This is the claim made by Oral-B when you purchase a new electric toothbrush within the USA or Canada.
There are many products you can’t take back to the shops once you have used them and oral healthcare products tend to come under this ruling because of the association with hygiene. But, with this programme, you can.
You can try an Oral-B toothbrush for 60 days and if you are not happy you can return it for a full refund.
Despite this, you should strive to only return the brush if you really need to. Electric toothbrushes have a significant impact on the environment.
If you return a brush it further increases the product’s environmental impact. If you really don’t get on with the brush then it makes sense to return it, but it is not a decision that should be taken lightly.
Terms & conditions
The money back offer from Oral-B is always subject to change and may not apply to all models.
Applicable models will usually have something on the outside packaging (usually on the side of the box) and on the instruction booklet included.
As you might imagine there are some terms and conditions that apply to this offer, but to be honest they are not all that bad.
This is the exact wording taken from the instruction book of the Oral-B Pro 1000.
Try your Oral-B brush for 60 days, starting from the day of purchase. If you are not 100% satisfied, receive a full refund via a pre-paid card. No questions asked. For a full refund, please return your product along with your name, address, contact phone number and the original cash register receipt indicating purchase price and date to the address below.

The steps to take to receive a refund
So, to ensure your claim proceeds without an issue it is important to follow the wording. If you follow the steps outlined below you should be compliant and receive your refund.
- When you purchase the Oral-B electric toothbrush, keep the original cash register receipt and all original packaging including brush heads. If you purchased it online, keep a copy of the invoice provided and print a copy if it was provided electronically.
- If you decide not to keep it you will need to return it to:
- U.S. only: Oral-B 60 Day Satisfaction Guarantee, Impact Fulfillment Services, 1381 Anthony Rd, Burlington NC 27215
- Canada only: Oral-B Power MBG, Dept AE, P O Box 10668, Thunder Bay ON P7B 6V1
- The brush must be in full working condition with the original packaging.
- It is best to include a brief covering letter/note to explain you are returning it for refund, why you are not happy and include your name, address, contact phone number and the original purchase receipt.
- You must post the brush back within 60 days, this includes weekends. Do bear in mind that you can’t quite use it for 60 days then post it back. For example, if you purchased it on the 1st of January, you will likely want to send it on or around the 24th February (55 days) to allow time for it to be delivered and make sure it is returned within the 60 days, just to be safe.
- The cost of posting/shipping it is your responsibility, you will not be refunded for this. It is also your responsibility to make sure it gets there. You might want to ensure you are using a tracked/insured service. This will likely cost a few dollars.
It takes 8-10 weeks for the claim to be dealt with
Be aware that it will take 8-10 weeks from date of receipt for the claim to be dealt with.
If you are waiting more than 10 weeks for your refund, US residents can check the status by calling 1-800-979-8268, whilst Canadian residents call 1-855-330-9328. Please know this is an automated line where you can leave your name, address, and phone number, and a representative will contact you.
The refund will be provided in the form of a pre-paid Visa/Mastercard (a payment card with the refund balance loaded onto it). This card can then be used like a regular payment card until the balance is used up.
The balance loaded onto the card will be the total price you paid for the toothbrush when it was purchased. The same amount on the receipt. The cost of return shipping is not refunded. It is likely that the balance on the card will have to be used within 6 months and cannot be cashed in at the bank.
Products received damaged, broken, neglected or considered outside of the terms of the promotion will not be refunded by Oral-B.
Whilst it does not specifically mention this, it is likely limited to one claim per household, so you can’t continue to buy lots of different models and return them for refund until you are happy with one. You have only one option of a refund.

Hi David.
I am not aware of floss picks being eligible for a money back guarantee.
This might be true, but this post is all about the money back program for electric toothbrushes.
You will need to contact Oral-B directly on this matter.
