Oral B CrossAction Power Reviews Summary

Battery Life

Pros:

• "and if we talk about the battery power... 1 battery lasts for 2 to 3 weeks or sometimes even a month..."
• "I like it, it doesn't use up battery that much, only needed to change every 2 to 3 months when brushing 2 times a day."
• "2AA batteries last really long. I use it twice daily and the battery hasn't drained."
• "Battery lasts for a month (use that duracell battery)Quality is wonderful."
• "Battery easily lasts more than 3 months."
• "The AA Duracell batteries last about a couple of months."
• "I've used it for over 4 months without having to change the battery."

Cons:

• "But it gets expensive in the long run."
• "Battery does not last long.after 10-15 days of regular use you would need to replace battery otherwise its working is affected."
• "The battery runs out fast."
• "Battery needs to be replaced at least once a month, that way the motor speed stay adequate for the appropriate vibration motion."
• "This is very energy hungry. Drained the battery which came along in just 2 weeks."
• "The battery life could be better; I found myself changing batteries more frequently than I expected."
• "It just does not vibrate or rotate even with new battery within 1 month of purchase."

Design and Ease of Use

Pros:

• "It's extremely convenient to use, great grip, great battery life."
• "Recommended to buy! I think it gives you easy ways to clean your teeth and you do not have to bear the pain of moving your hand like we used to do in normal toothbrush."
• "Good firm bristles, comfortable grip and minimum vibration."
• "easy to use , reaches all corners."
• "The brush is easy to use and cleans the teeth properly."
• "You just have to move the brush gently spending over 2-3 seconds on each tooth on front and back side."
• "Facilitates better cleaning of teeth if used properly."

Cons:

• "Leaves a lot to be desired of the motor in use. The power simply isn't enough for a thorough clean."
• "It seems impossible to clean it from within, which means a lot of plaque would be accumulated in it through vents given on the side, and germs might manifest."
• "The design is also a bit bulky compared to some other electric toothbrushes, which can make it slightly awkward to maneuver in tight spaces."
• "it is difficult to use for inside back side portion."
• "The overall head size of this model is too big for comfort esp for teenagers."
• "This one can't clean the teeth properly without heavy effort."
• "The brush head is inconveniently cumbersome so that the toothpaste flows out instead of staying in the mouth."

Performance and Quality

Pros:

• "It keeps teeth clean like when you get a cleanup at the dentist."
• "For those who are confused with the comments..the round part rotates at high speed and the flat part moves forth and back rapidly..it lasts equivalent to 5 toothbrushes and I’m still using it at the moment."
• "This is my first power toothbrush. On my first use itself, I noticed its effect on my plaque on my bottom front teeth which was a problem area for me with manual toothbrush."
• "It certainly is a good cleaner, now to see how long this lasts."
• "After i started using this, I noticed my teeth were looking visibility whiter and also felt really smooth and clean, like i just got them cleaned at the dentist and its at a really good price!"
• "Its rotating powerhead loosens and whisks away plaque from surfaces, gumline and back teeth."
• "The brushing action is quite effective. The cross action bristles reach deep between teeth, providing a thorough clean and leaving my mouth feeling fresh."

Cons:

• "Well although after a while the bristles stops rotating and just give vibrating motion it still does what is expected. You get what you paid for."
• "Got a headache with the vibration and noise."
• "The brush works really fine, but it is noisy and the vibration is a bit uncomfortable initially, so I would suggest make a gradual transition from your normal brush to electric toothbrush."
• "This is classic example of consumerism. Practically this brush solves a purpose but if you use it, you would realize that you don't actually need it."
• "We need to work delicately and consciously while brushing with this than with the regular tooth brush and it takes a long time to finish brushing."
• "In description it says rotating head but it turns out to be only appearing to be rotating."
• "This brush is poorly designed. It will feel that you are brushing without toothpaste."
