Colgate Pro Clinical 250R

Useless piece of junk – I have had mine for less than a year, it wasn't cheap and it has stopped working already. It just won't turn on even though it is fully charged. I did not keep the receipt so can't claim under the warranty either. I am so disappointed as I have always trusted colgate products. Show details

Died out of box – I didn’t get the chance to use it because after about 2 minutes on the charger it turns off and the only way to fix it is to pull it up and put it back down again Show details

Relatively Good – Just got this one as a gift for xmas (as my old more expensive colgate one finally refused to switch on after 3yrs). Had plenty of charge and ready to go when I got it out of the box and was amazed to find it to be way way lighter than the older model, which is a good thing. Found it to be slimmer as well and am waiting to see how that pans out as… Read more

I find it difficult to grip narrow things these days because of arthritis. I found it did a good job and I believe the smaller brush head is responsible for that by not overcrowding my mouth and making it easier to get it to and around my back teeth with ease and comfort. I think though it's going to take me a few days, to once again, become readjusted to the vibrations tickling my lips.

The one big negative I would give this is the charger. I find that since this brush has virtually no weight, the stand doesn't hold it too well, particularly with the tiny little point that sticks up to support it, unlike the previous one where the toothbrush sat in it which I like much more as the nestling fit gave better support.

Overall it seems like a good brush and at a relatively good price. I'll keep my eye on how long this one lasts.

Pretty Great! – I think if you're starting off with electric toothbrushes this is the way to go. Firstly, it's not a bad price especially on sale usually around $20 at Coles and the features it gives is great especially to some higher-ended toothbrushes that are in the $50+ range. It's also waterproof, I've taken this into the shower many times and also there's… Read more

no entry or areas that allow for anything to get into it's inside.

Additionally, it has a great timed feature, so it goes for 2 minutes when you activate it and every 30 seconds it momentarily stops to let you know to split your brushing into each section of the mouth. You have to recharge this toothbrush once every like 8 uses and I don't mind that. It's very durable as well, I've dropped like like around 15 times it's still working completely fine, I've also taken this overseas and honestly I have no complaints about this great toothbrush. This toothbrush is a vibrating one, so the bristles are like being shaken compared to some of Oral-B's ones, their brushes have the little bristles in a oscillating-spinning type situation so do keep that in mind.

It’s a decent product – I had an old electric toothbrush which was working fine but finding the replacement head was getting difficult. I got this one on sale at Woolworths for $30 and I do not regret that purchase. No more buying spare battery, just put it back on the docking stations and it will be fully charged for the next time. The battery life is good, I used it a… Read more

full week without a charge and I still had power, I might say I was getting low as the vibrations were not as « sharp » as when it’s fully charge. I have one comment on the docking station, I would like to see a double or at least the possibility to join 2 together so no one is fighting to charge it since not everyone has more than one power point in their bathroom. Having that in mind that’s why I got the one that uses AA battery for my wife (will do a review on that one too).

How does it work? Well I do feel a better cleaning is achieved since I started using it, I like the fact that it has it’s own timer and you have 4 intervals of 30sec to brush your teeth. That is very well thought so you know how much time you have. I found it easy to operate and swap heads, so changing the heads every 3 months isn’t an issue and yes it’s more expensive than a regular toothbrush but if that saves me on dentist I cannot argue the benefits. I found the motions it uses to clean my teeth very close to perfect, it’s not just rotating but it’s almost a 3D motion which is great because I find it more effective than my previous one. Would I buy it again? Yes definitely, Is it fit for purpose? Yes Is it economical? ... well that’s why 4 stars, I use my killer watts and found that the docking station uses 0.5Kw in any circumstances (charging or not) so calculating the cost of electricity ($12 a year to run) plus the price of the heads ($34 per year) it comes to a total cost close to $100 if you pay everything full price. That’s a lot of toothbrush! My advice is buy it on sale (50% off is a good deal) and get the refill for a year too, that way you’ll be able to save your cash and to push it even further only plug the docking station once a week and recharge the toothbrush for 8h, that way you can even save on power!

Final words, you can’t put a price on health, so if something works better than the ordinary toothbrush and leaves you with a better feel in you mouth why wouldn’t you have it ?

Great Brush - Better Than OralB – Noticing this brush at half price ($25) at Woolies, I decided to try it as I've never really been happy with the OralB oscillating head design. The Colgate ProClinical uses a vibrating head system which allows a more conventionally shaped head, which I prefer. My teeth are a bit cramped in places making some surfaces a bit hard to reach which the… Read more

OralB never quite could, and I'd use a conventional brush alternately for those bits. This brush is a winner! It feels a bit weird at first and seems to 'drag' over your teeth but you soon get used to driving it. It cleans like a devil. I found it was easy to feel where it was going and seems to get everything. If you have ticklish inner gums on your upper front teeth, then you might squirm for the first few days when you hit that spot, but I found after about a week even that diminished. It times out a bit soon for me, but one quick button press switches it back on. I won't go back to OralB.

Perfect! – I like the size and the little case it comes with which is perfect for travelling. I also like the timer option which just turns off the device after 2 mins.

Best electric toothbrush ever – I've been using the 250R for 1 week now, it cost me $24.00. Coming from Oral B brushes this is far better and cheaper in my opinion. My old brush heads rotated, this one vibrates super fast. It feels like my teeth are cleaner, the rotating brush heads stopped rotating on the teeth with gentle pressure so it was like having a manual brush. I like… Read more

the black color, my old white brushes got discolored over time. I like the battery power, it doesn't slow down as the battery drops like my old brushes. The vibrating head takes some getting used too but I like it now, it can be slightly uncomfortable on your gums when you're new to it. I love the 4 x 30 second timers. Overall you can't go wrong however durability is something I don't know about and there is no warranty I believe. This brush feels like a lightweight but does the heavy lifting.

Broke two in short order – My partner and I each bought one, and after 6-8 months water got into the switch and they would turn on and off at random. Unfit for purpose. Buy a regular toothbrush instead.

Power keeps cutting out – Was fine first few months however after changing the head the power now cuts out when any pressure is applied to the head when cleaning. Press again and power is back, again and it's gone.

Not entirely waterproof – After about 4 months, water gets into the switch and it will not work. Tried to dry and recharge it and get it sometime working. But water will get into the switch very easily, it is going die very soon.  Show details

Disappointed – Although this is a good product for cleaning my teeth I have only had it about 2 months then it randomly started turning on by itself for no apparent reason. Could become dangerous. Pretty disappointed overall as it wasn’t exactly cheap either. Show details

Stopped working after 2 months – Good toothbrush but stopped working 2 months after using, water some how got into handle - partners died a month later. Spend your money elsewhere! Not worth it, better of spending that little bit more. Highly disappointed. Show details

Died in less a month – PROs: Light weight, lasts at least one week per charge, cleans very well. CONs: Died in less than 1 months. Seems water got into the handle for some reason. Well, shouldn't it be water proof? Show details

Great inexpensive toothbrush – I love the Oral B electric toothbrush. I feel it cleans more accuratly than a manual and is cheaper than some electric toothbrushes. It is also gentle on the gums. I like the little timer in it that lets you know when your recommendation brushing time is up. I only travel with it if I can have somewhere to plug it into as once it starts to run flat it is not as effective in cleaning. Show details

Great asset to your teeth – Great gentle and provides all care to your teeth whilst brushing, whilst soft and gentle it also cleans teeth efficiently and doesnt need to constantly be charged to function fantastically Show details

It's okay I guess! – To be honest it doesn't feel like it gets my entire mouth clean. The head is small and I prefer using my normal toothbrush. Although it was a cheap purchase I probably wouldn't recommend it. Show details

Leaves me teeth feeling fresh – I previously had a rotating head brush which did a great job. However my partner got me this one for Christmas and it just blew my previous one out of the water. It has you clean your mouth in quarters and pulses each time it wants you to change quarters, the vibration is powerful but when you are finished just leaves this squeaky clean feeling that I haven't felt in a long time! Show details

Low price – Compared with other big brands, the battery life of electric toothbrush is regrettable, but its product quality is excellent and its basic functions are solid. With a brush head heavy. Compared with similar toothbrushes, it is not too light or too heavy, feels moderate, comes with battery, convenient charging, inductive charging.

Life changing – This has changed my life. No, that is not an exaggeration. I was never the best on oral hygiene. Yeah, I brushed every day, but nothing more than basic.Life changing

Just like the TV ads this tooth brush has actually improved my teeth – Ever so happy with the Colgate pro electric tooth brush. I feel a much cleaner mouth after each clean and is so simple to use and works very fast! The price is a lot more than any other brand but much worth the cost

Great! – Great to find a compact unit in black. The colour is important to me as it looks cleaner (white tends to stain from toothpaste and make up) and it matches our modern bathroom. It’s sleek and smooth with no ridges or rubbery parts (my old one had these and it was awful to keep clean). What I like most is the ease of charging. The charger is really… Read more

small and easy to store. The toothbrush keeps charge for many weeks, even when the charge light flashes it still continues to work. (I don’t actually recall it running out of charge yet). Overall fantastic value for money. Better than some of the dearer ones on the market.

Its the best! – I love this toothbrush!! It does all the hard work for me! Its the best on the market. I highly recommend you buy it! You won't be disappointed!!!! Its the best toothbrush!!!!

Impressive little sonic brush – The TripleClean brush heads are really small which is great as you can really get to your very back teeth with ease and I prefer this head to the whitening head it came with as I ordered a pack of heads at same time. Charge time was quick for initial charge, nice little compact charger too. Overall, for the price this is a great bit of kit and… Read more

I'll definitely be recommending the brush as I'll only use sonic action as it's by far superior to oscillating!!

brilliant smile – seriously, this is the best tooth brush I've used in a long time. it leaves my entire mouth feeling clean and teeth smooth. its so gentle on my gums and cleans between the teeth with ease. so simple to wash the head and store on its charger. highly recommend for the price.

One of the better electric toothbrushes – Love the sleek design and cover, I liked the fact it doesn't spin like most electric toothbrushes. I found with the spinning brushes my teeth got very sensitive, this toothbrush is much more gentle on my teeth and gums and still gets them clean

Extra clean – Super impressed with this toothbrush mouth feels very clean after. The charge on it lasts for quite a while I would say a month or so. I just leave it on overnight. I absolutely love that it has a cover other it makes it easy to pack when going away and protects your toothbrush from airborne poo particles! Gotta love a reduced e.coli count!

Greet toothbrush – Great toothbrush always does the job, efficient, speedy. Easily charged on the charger dock. Sleek design, from memory not too loud either. Great affordable option, use with Colgate toothpaste for best results ;)

Don’t know how it works – Minimum instructions on website and the box, don’t know if I brush up and down like a manual toothbrush or just drag it along like an oral b. Handle vibrates more than the brush head itself

R – Fantastic product it has lasted a long time longer I hen I expected and also exceeded my expectations. It’s recharged quickly and long gaps between recharge life best toothbrush ever

Nice brush – This seems to clean well, the battery lasts for ages, and it sits well on the charging stand which is better than the Oral B brush I had previously. The brush heads are readily available at Chemist Warehouse. It comes in black and white matching any bathroom. Very quiet in operation, easy to store and clean.

Great first electric toothbrush – I had won this from a Colgate competition and was excited to try it as I had always used a manual ones before. It's light, slim and feels great in the mouth. It doesn't use alot of power and my mouth feels cleaner than when using ordinary toothbrush.

Great toothbrush – My teeth feel cleaner since using this toothbrush! I like that it is light & looks modern. It lasts around 2 weeks after each charge which is fantastic as i don't have to use a lot of power to keep it going.

Good electric toothbrush – I recently purchased this after using an oral-b electric toothbrush for many years. I prefer the Colgate as it comes in black (meaning it doesn’t get dirty as easily) and the brush speed seems to be more effective. Overall would recommend.

Don’t waste your money – Little power, does not clean teeth. Might as well just use ordinary tooth brush. Show details
