Very nice toothbrush
I have been using the Oral-B Pro 6000 toothbrush for a little more than two weeks and although I haven't used every feature it offers, I like what I have seen so far. Before using the toothbrush for the first time, I fully charged it and then disconnected it from power to test the battery. It easily went past 9 days with me brushing twice a day, and there was still one bar left out of three on the battery, so traveling without the charger shouldn't be a problem, if you're only going for a week. The travel case that comes with the unit is also sturdy and has places for two brush heads, which is nice in case you're not traveling alone. The downloadable app appears well thought out, and seems to be stable, although there are a few things it needs access to that I don't really understand; GPS location for one. Connecting the app to the toothbrush via Bluetooth is a snap. The app tracks all of your brushing habits, which I guess if you're the kind of person who forgets to brush is helpful. For me, all of that isn't really needed... it's nice to see it, but I know I'm not going to skip a day of brushing/flossing... for kids, it would probably be a huge tool to get them to brush. The app does have a visual quadrant based timer that syncs with the brush when you start brushing, and pauses if you pause brushing. I find the timer feature of the app the most useful since it's a visual way to track the 30 secs you spend on each quadrant of your mouth. As far as cleaning my teeth, this toothbrush is great. It's much better than a manual toothbrush, and quite a bit different from my other electric toothbrush. I keep the toothbrush in ProClean mode, but there are four other modes that vary the speed/pulse of the brush head. The biggest plus for me is the shape of the brush head; since the head is round, it's easy to focus on each individual tooth. One feature that some might find helpful is the 'pressure alert' that flashes a red light around the top ring of the unit if you're applying too much pressure. I never had this happen during my normal brushing, but I did test it, and it does work. Overall, I am very pleased with this toothbrush, and as I continue to use it, I'm sure some of some of the features I've glossed over here might actually be useful to me as well.

Dentist cleaning feel
I was told by my dentist to try this brand but I decided to go with another brand but now that I have the Oral B 6000 I regret not trying this earlier for my oral care. You can feel the motion of the bristles letting you know you are brushing the hard to reach areas in your mouth. The first time I used the Oral B I was bleeding on a quadrant of my gums. It so happened to be the area that my dentist tells me to focus on. On the second day I brushed again with Oral B I had no bleeding so I think it's because I was not brushing the area in a effective way. My mouth feels so much cleaner after using this so I'm happy to continue using it until my next dental visit. What I like about the Oral B 6000: It has a great feel when holding the handle. The charging dock looks good on my vanity. The movement of the bristles. The way it keeps track of my brushing when using the app. Tells me when I'm brushing too hard. Tells me when I need to brush each area of my mouth. What I do not like about the Oral B 6000: It's a bit louder than my other electric toothbrush. I like this toothbrush by Oral B and I will continue to use it. I can't review yet on the life of this but I'm pleased to be using this because of the extra freshness I feel after using this. You get motivated when you use the app if that helps those on the fence about the app.

Enhanced Smile !
The Oral B Pro 6000 is actually the first electric toothbrush that I have used, performing quite efficiently so far. With Bluetooth connectivity, it hopes to provide some motivation in keeping a set regiment, while tracking your progress on your phone. While optional, the Bluetooth functionality added bit of a learning curve, but nothing too difficult. Upon opening, you will note several included accessories including the charging dock that also has a small compartment for the brushing heads. It also included a carrying case for the main unit for when it is not charging; it also has two small pre-drilled parts to hold your phone up. However, my phone was extremely uneven and its tilting made me nervous. There is actually an accessory to clamp your phone to the mirror but this was not included. Lastly, it included one brush head, albeit a bit small. I was a bit disappointed as I think they should have at least included one of the long head brushes, but they are cheap enough and I bought some generic ones that work really well. There are about 6 other heads you can buy separately that focus on specialized areas of cleaning. The brush included seems to be for focus areas that needed more attention as opposed to more of a daily brush. The Bluetooth pairing, however, is a bit of an issue. It took several attempted to try and pair it and the Oral B app does not have an easy way of pairing it once you are outside the initial wizard that runs when you first open it. After several attempts on two different phones, the best way to get the toothbrush connected is install the application, make sure that BOTH Bluetooth and location services are on, then proceed to open the application. When it asks you if yours is Bluetooth compatible, click yes and turn the toothbrush on. You should hopefully see the blue light flash and it says connecting on your screen. It should then bring up several tips on how to use it. You should see it flash blue twice. As for the application, there will be some learning curves. The layout is decent and you will need to fiddle with it. In addition to the blue flashes, I wish the application would show a connection status that remained on just to confirm it was linked. I could not find anything within the application that showed this. Luckily though, you can change the color of the light ring so I suppose this compensates for the above. Switching the colors is also quite addictive. Another feature on the application is the ability to track activity and your average brushing time. Also, you will also see achievements that you can unlock as motivational rewards. Lastly, I would like to note that it recommends to brush your teeth for at least 2 minutes; one helpful tip is to turn on "display manual start button" so you can pause and resume it on your own. I found this at the bottom of the timer settings, after tapping the second gear symbol from the main timer screen. Overall, the Bluetooth setup was a bit tedious, but once it is working it does provide some nice features. Performance of the Oral B 6000 makes up for the slight Bluetooth shortcomings, although for first time users of electric toothbrushes, there will be some adjustment and patience needed. After my first use with the included brush, it did not feel like I brushed all the way through. There was also a tendency to brush hard at which the smart ring lit up red. Afterwards, I went out and bought a generic long head brush and this performed a lot better, feeling closer to the manual brushing I was used to. I highly recommend the other brushes though before making an opinion. After three complete brushing sessions, I have noticed an improvement in the areas that I focused on. I am genuinely quite satisfied. One thing I also liked was the several different modes depending on your needs. For my tests, I used the daily clean (tooth icon). The pressure was perfect for when I switched back to the included brush on some of the smaller focus areas, in addition to when I used the long brush. Overall, I would recommend the Oral B Pro 6000 for anyone who is interested in buying a toothbrush, though despite some Bluetooth issues, it still performs like it was designed to. At its price, I recommend that if you do not see yourself using the Bluetooth feature to seek out some cheaper alternatives. For first time users of electric toothbrushes (like myself), I would still say it is worth trying, though keep in mind it will take a bit to get used to. Also, be sure to grab maybe one or two different brushes, including the long one as that felt closer to manual brushing. Overall, it definitely enhances your smile.
