class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dentist-recommended features are included and perform as expected<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our in-house dentists believe 3 features should be present in a good electric toothbrush. The Pro 2 2000 has them all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The timer and pacer help you to brush for the right amount of time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let's face it, it's easy to get distracted when brushing your teeth \u2014 there are more interesting things to do. Subsequently, you lose track of how long you\u2019ve brushed for and don\u2019t end up brushing for the dentist-advised 2 minutes. The Pro 2 2000 helps to guard against this.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pacer is activated from the moment the brush is powered on, momentarily pausing the brushing action every 30 seconds to tell you to move on to the next part of the mouth. There are 4 sections in total and you need to brush the inner, outer, and biting surfaces of the teeth during this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After 2 minutes the alert changes slightly to tell you that you have brushed for long enough. Unlike some brushes, the Pro 2 doesn\u2019t power off automatically. This may be a disappointment to some, but it\u2019s not a big issue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brushing for the full 2 minutes is very important, but just as important, if not more so, is using the right technique. Make sure you learn how to brush your teeth properly \u2014 you don\u2019t use an electric brush in the same way you do a manual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/08\/Oral_B_Pro_2_2000_Electric_Toothbrush-30.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The visible pressure sensor will alert you when you are brushing too hard<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scrubbing the teeth hard and fast doesn\u2019t clean them any better. Long term it will actually damage them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A pressure sensor built into the Pro 2 detects if you\u2019re brushing too hard. The motor will then slow the brush head and the panel on the back of the handle will illuminate red. This is your alert to relieve the pressure until the light goes out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can normally see it out of the corner of your eye, but it\u2019s easier to spot if you brush in front of a mirror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you know you have a habit of brushing with too much force, the Pro 2 will help you rectify this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/08\/Oral_B_Pro_2_2000_Electric_Toothbrush-5.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cleaning results that make you smile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oral-B\u2019s oscillating-rotating brush heads are smaller than the sonic style from the likes of Sonicare. They do make it easier to reach the tightest of spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cleaning action of the Pro 2 feels more aggressive and intense than sonic brushes, which have a lighter and more ticklish sensation. It\u2019s personal preference as to which you prefer, but you do get that invigorating dentist-clean feeling with the Pro 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pro 2 2000 is usually supplied with a CrossAction brush head, which effectively disrupts and lifts plaque and debris from the teeth, as confirmed by my plaque disclosing tests. I am more than impressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A softer brushing sensation can be achieved by using the softer bristled Sensi UltraThin brush head. It is one of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/oral-b-brush-heads-comparison\/\">range of interchangeable Oral-B brush heads<\/a> compatible with the Pro 2.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They push on and pull off the handle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don\u2019t worry too much about the brush head style, though \u2014 your brushing time and technique are more important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/08\/Oral_B_Pro_2_2000_Electric_Toothbrush-20.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A slim, grippy handle that can be difficult to keep clean<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pro 2 2000 feels reassuringly secure in the hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The combination of a slim-profiled plastic body and the large rubber grip on the front helps your fingers and palm keep a firm hold of it. A series of raised, plastic mouldings on the back of the handle further aid with this.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The slight downside is that the textured rubber surface makes it easier for toothpaste residue to build up. Without regular cleaning, I have found a white coating appears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The handle is water resistant, so a rinse under the tap is perfectly fine. All the important electronics, including the battery, are sealed inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Protruding from the body, the power button is easy for the fingertip to detect. You do need to give it a fairly firm push, so those with dexterity issues might find it a bit more challenging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pro 2 2000 is available with blue, white or black coloured grips.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Philips Sonicare brushes look more refined and premium in my opinion. I don\u2019t think the gloss plastics of the Pro 2 are that appealing when you compare them to the matt finish of Sonicare brushes. The resistive texture makes their handles feel better, too. That being said, they are normally more expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/08\/Oral_B_Pro_2_2000_Electric_Toothbrush-54.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Below average, but a reliable 2 week battery life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3-4 weeks is the typical usage time you can expect from a lot of electric brushes today. The Pro 2 2000 falls a bit short with a claimed life of around 2 weeks. I averaged 16 days in my testing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is certainly satisfactory and far from the worst. But, for a leading brand it\u2019s not unreasonable to expect a bit better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery is sealed inside the handle. An LED on the front does give feedback when the power is low and when charging. You don\u2019t get this with Oral-B\u2019s budget brushes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The supplied white charging stand has a 2 pin power adapter hardwired into it, with a cable length of about 90cm. It supports 220-240v.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A protuberance on the stand fits into the recess on the base of the brush handle and takes up to 15 hours to replenish the battery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/08\/Oral_B_Pro_2_2000_Electric_Toothbrush-56.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2 cleaning modes to suit different preferences, but it defaults to Daily Clean<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The brushing modes available on the Pro 2 are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Daily clean<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sensitive<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In most instances, you only need daily clean. This will suffice for the vast majority of users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But, sensitive is a great option for new electric brush users or if you have particularly tender gums. Those with gum disease will also benefit from the slower and less intense movements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">No icons or labels to tell you which mode you\u2019re using<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pressing the power button at any time allows you to switch between the modes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, there is nothing to confirm which mode you have selected. There are no labels, icons or LEDs on the handle. Instead, you have to learn the order. You will get used to the different sounds and sensations that each offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/08\/Oral_B_Pro_2_2000_Electric_Toothbrush-10.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It doesn\u2019t remember the last mode used<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Frustratingly, the brush does not remember the last cleaning mode used. This means every time you use the brush, you will need to press the power button twice if you want to use the sensitive mode. 1 press to turn it on and launch daily clean, a second to get to sensitive mode. You can\u2019t change it before turning the brush on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s not a deal breaker nor a reason to avoid the 2000, but something to be aware of.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It\u2019s not as good value as it once was<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a369.99 is the retail price for the Pro 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The average selling price used to be \u00a340, but since the introduction of the Pro 3 Series and the reduced availability of the Pro 2, average prices are now \u00a355 or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over 3 years, the ownership cost is upwards of \u00a388. Not bad, but the Pro 3 3500 costs \u00a375-80 and has an additional cleaning mode and a travel case.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It\u2019s louder than you might expect<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oral-B brushes are louder than most and the Pro 2 2000 has quite a mechanical noise that registers at 76 decibels. It isn\u2019t like the quieter audible humming sound of sonic brushes that fall into the 60 decibel range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you brush your teeth when others tend to be asleep you will need to shut the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I wouldn\u2019t discount the Pro 2 as my next toothbrush for this reason alone, though.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You can\u2019t repair it yourself, but you can extend the warranty from 2 to 3 years if you register<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pro 2 boasts a handle design that has been in use for many years \u2014 it is tried and tested.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whilst nobody can provide complete assurances of reliability, there is little reason to have concern here. The Pro 2 feels solid in hand. I\u2019ve used this and similar brushes for many years without issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most frequent complaint I\u2019ve come across is the rubber grip perishing over years of use. I can\u2019t comment on how common this is, but environmental factors, such as leaving it sitting in water, can have quite an impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2 years of manufacturer support is provided as standard, but this can be extended for free to a pretty generous 3 years, if you register the brush. You should be hopeful of 5+ years of service from the Pro 2.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Environmental impact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41415-020-1981-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2020 life-cycle analysis of electric toothbrushes<\/a> found that the average brush is 11 times more impactful than a manual toothbrush.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whilst we don\u2019t have specific figures for this model, we estimate that the Pro 2 2000 is about average in terms of its impact.&nbsp; This is because it doesn't have additional, unnecessary extras like Bluetooth or an in handle display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oral-B's parent company, P&amp;G, could certainly do more to address the impact of its products.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"conclusion\" class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion: good cleaning results but consider the alternatives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pro 2 2000 does so many things just right. There is little to find fault with here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I like the slim and grippy handle. The 2 week battery life is satisfactory and, most importantly, it does a good job of cleaning your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But, changes in the Oral-B range mean that the newer Pro 3 3500 represents a better buy for most. It has the same features and costs less to own.<\/p>\n\n\n            <div  class=\"lg:my-6 my-3\">\n\n                \n                <div class=\"recommendation-card border border-blue-200 p-3 lg:p-4 pb-5 flex flex-col lg:flex-row lg:items-center\">\n                    <div class=\"relative h-[11.25rem] lg:h-auto lg:w-[11.125rem] w-full justify-center flex items-center mb-4 lg:mb-0 lg:mr-8 lg:flex-shrink-0\">\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Oral-B Pro 3 3500\" class=\"h-full max-h-32 w-auto object-center object-cover\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41Jtjcngx2L._SL500_.jpg\">\n                    <\/div>\n                    <div>\n                        <div class=\"flex flex-col lg:flex-row gap-y-2 items-center justify-center lg:justify-start mb-4 flex-wrap gap-x-4\">\n                            <div class=\"font-bold text-center text-base lg:text-lg-base lg:text-left\">\n                                Oral-B Pro 3 3500                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                                                        <div class=\"mb-3 lg:mb-4 my-3 gap-1 flex lg:justify-start justify-center items-center lg:my-0 lg:mr-[2.188rem]\">\n                                                                            <div class=\"star\">\n                                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/themes\/genesis-electricteeth\/assets\/images\/icon\/star-fill.svg\" alt=\"rating-star-filled\" class=\"w-5\">\n                                        <\/div>\n                                                                                <div class=\"star\">\n                                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/themes\/genesis-electricteeth\/assets\/images\/icon\/star-fill.svg\" alt=\"rating-star-filled\" class=\"w-5\">\n                                        <\/div>\n                                                                                <div class=\"star\">\n                                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/themes\/genesis-electricteeth\/assets\/images\/icon\/star-fill.svg\" alt=\"rating-star-filled\" class=\"w-5\">\n                                        <\/div>\n                                                                                <div class=\"star\">\n                                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/themes\/genesis-electricteeth\/assets\/images\/icon\/star-fill.svg\" alt=\"rating-star-filled\" class=\"w-5\">\n                                        <\/div>\n                                                                                <div class=\"star\">\n                                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/themes\/genesis-electricteeth\/assets\/images\/icon\/star-half.svg\" alt=\"rating-star-half\" class=\"w-5\">\n                                        <\/div>\n                                                                        <div class=\"ml-1 mr-1\">(4.7)<\/div>\n                                <div class=\"ask tooltip\" title=\"Visually, we have rounded star ratings to the nearest half score, e.g a 4.2 rating is shown as 4 stars.\">\n                                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/themes\/genesis-electricteeth\/assets\/images\/icon\/ask.svg\" class=\"w-full h-full\" alt=\"ask-icon\">\n                                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                        \n                        <!-- price buttons -->\n                        <div class=\"flex flex-col lg:flex-row lg:items-center\">\n\n                            <div class=\"flex gap-2 lg:gap-3 flex-col lg:flex-row lg:flex-wrap\">\n                                                                            <a class=\"btn-green !text-blue-800 lg:min-w-[172px] text-center font-bold text-sm py-3 px-7 rounded-md lg:px-5 lg:py-3 lg:text-btn-base !no-underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ebay.co.uk\/sch\/i.html?_nkw=oral-b+pro+3+3500&amp;mkcid=1&amp;mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&amp;siteid=3&amp;campid=5337719300&amp;toolid=11800&amp;mkevt=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow sponsored\"> \u00a335 Ebay <\/a>\n                                            \n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n    <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n    \n        <div id=\"size\" class=\"\">\n\n            <h2 class=\"!mb-4\">Size guide<\/h2>\n\n            <ul class=\"card !mt-0 !p-8\">\n\n                \n                    \n                        <li>Toothbrush height with head -
