Is the Pro 1000 Worth It?

Best budget electric toothbrush. The Pro 1000 proves the expensive brushes are mostly comfort and features. It is loud and it is plain, and it cleans almost as well as anything here.

Pro 1000 Pros & Cons

Pros
  • 84% plaque removal — within four points of the $300 flagship
  • Heads from about $4 each; third-party heads widely available
  • Pressure sensor stops pulsation when you push too hard
  • Simple: one button

  • Loud and buzzy
  • Ten days per charge; bulky charger
