Colgate Proclinical 500R Sensitive
Verified2 reviews
The pressure sensor getting more and more sensitive over time. While it was new, I can put a reasonable pressure and the high speed mode still operates. After 18 months the sensor started being triggered (into slow speed mode) by smaller pressures. Now after 2 years (just out of warranty) I cannot put any pressure on it. It keeps triggered to slow speed mode multiple time during brushing. I have to keep telling myself: "don't put any pressure on it" (and still failing). Annoying.
Followed the instruction of don't keep it charging all the time so the batter still got a reasonable life after 2 years. It's just sometimes you wake up and found the battery is flat (because I'm sharing it with my family).
If you aim to keep using this for just 2 years then get a new one, this is a not to bad product.

Failed after warranty expired. Go for Oral B – So after the warranty the device starting playing up. Turning on and off by itself. Sent an email to Colgate which I got a reply 5 days later stating that the 2 year warranty had expired (by 3 months). We bought spare brushes before it played up which are now useless. Decided to buy the boys an oral b as my unit is still going after 3 years+. Disappointed by Colgate.
