Product Reviews of Oral-B Precision Clean Brush Head (4 ct.)
Product Review: DOESN'T FIT THE ORAL-B EXACTLY RIGHT
Summary: 1 Stars
Braun must have changed manufacturers or something. Amazon claims that "The four replacement brush heads in this pack fit all Braun Oral-B electric toothbrushes." But the hole in the brush head that fits onto the toothbrush seems to be a fraction of a millimeter bigger because it barely stays on the toothbrush. The toothbrush does work, however. I have two identical Oral-B 3D excel toothbrushes purchased on 8/20/01. To make the batteries last, I use one unit for 6 months or so, then I switch to the other unit. I run the battery down to zero on the one I'm not using on my teeth by using it with an old brush head to scrub stuff in the bathroom or kitchen. Only after the battery is completely run down do I recharge it. Used brush heads--including a very old one I found while moving furniture--fit both units perfectly, so it's not a question of wear on the toothbrush handle itself.
Some reviewers have suggested that these are counterfeits, but that's hard to imagine: there could not be that huge a market to justify the expense of setting up a factory to duplicate something as specialized as this. It's even harder to imagine Amazon.com selling it. It's more likely that Braun outsourced the product or had some kind of cost cutting change in their factory.
There were 130-odd reviews when I did this one, and I notice that virtually all of the really bad reviews are relatively recent, and that the really good reviews are years and years old; taking my own observations into account, I am certain that the product has changed, and not for the better.
Product Review: DON'T DO IT:
Summary: 1 Stars
I had exactly the same experience as the last reviewer. All brushes came out of the box or in short order became defective. They were so loose that they would not stay put on the metal shaft of the toothbrush handle, constantly detaching. They can't be the real thing.Product Review: Dangerous item
Summary: 1 Stars
Hard to believe a toothbrush head can be dangerous, but these are. I didn't know these were not built by Braun. If they are, someone really dropped the ball at the QC station. The brush heads become loose very quickly. Aside from pinching parts of your mouth in the loosened gap, they will eventually disintegrate in your mouth. I have just ordered the Braun labeled heads and hopefully, they are up to the excellent quality of the originals. These replacements however should be avoided until the quality concerns are addressed. That's my opinion anyway.Product Review: Defective
Summary: 1 Stars
We have been using the Oral-B brushes for years - through at least three base units. This is the first time we have experienced problems with the brush heads. Two of the four quickly failed as described by others (the heads became so loose they no longer worked) and a third one sometimes pinches the cheek. I have noticed that some of the descriptions on the packages are in German first with English underneath.Product Review: Defective Oral B brushes
Summary: 2 Stars
I have so far used 2 of the 4 brushes. A small part broke off of both of them and I found myself with a small piece of metal that looked similar to a tack in my mouth. I don't know if this is the normal quality of this product or just a defective batch.
