Customer Reviews

Excellent, but...
This is a great product and all the reviews for the single-unit ProfessionalCare 8850 DLX being sold on amazon apply.

The only difference between this and the single-unit version is that this one has two power handles, but still only a single charging base. This isn't really a problem at all since the battery life is more than a week if you brush daily (they claim two weeks). We just alternate which unit sits on the charger every couple of days. Initially I was worried that the unit that wasn't charging would fall over a lot, but the center of gravity is low and they have a grippy bottom, so even on a wet counter top, they stay upright. In hindsight, having only a single charging unit saves space without really causing any problems.

One thing did raise my eyebrow... this product comes in a retail box that says clearly on the front "Exclusive Dental Office Unit". I called Oral-B about it and according to them, this either means that Discount Depot (the folks actually selling this item through amazon) is either owned by a dentist (who can order dentist-only products from Oral-B), or this product was questionably obtained somehow.

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, but I'm still a little suspicious, especially considering the numerous complaints in their seller feedback. That said, my transaction with them was fine and you can't beat the price for two of these toothbrushes. Product came in the mail faster than I expected and the product works great.

Super toothbrush!
We like this toothbrush better than the Sonicare. My teeth even feel clean in the morning after brushing the night before! Love it! It's small enough for kids to use, too.

Lots of brushes - only one speed
Don't waste the extra $$ on this model - I bought this for a present for family and thought it would be a step up from the ProfessionalCare 7000 series model we own but it's not. The 7000 model has two speeds and my wife cannot bear to use the higher speed - "buzzes" her brain and yes some people are sensitive to that kind of thing... kinda like running your fingernails down a blackboard. If you prefer lots of attachments, including a tongue cleaner, and don't care about the lack of two speeds the 8850 is what you want... other wise the 7000 model is a better deal to me.
