As you may know, Woolies are having 1/2 price sale on Oral-B electric toothbrush range.

So, I went to a local Woolies and grabbed a PROFESSIONAL CARE 500 for $49.95 ($99.95 RRP) to replace my 6-year-old Oral-B electric toothbrush, which wasn't doing a proper job this week.

Until early October, there is a $30 cashback for PROFESSIONAL CARE 500/1000/3000. Here is the URL for the redemption form:

http://www.oralb.com.au/assets/pdf/12922_O_Olympics_Redempti...

Paid with my WISH gift card for an additional saving of $2.50.

I got a $100 electric brush for $17.45. Yay!

Might be a good idea to grab Precision Clean 5-pack refills as well for $18.49/ea.

Additional Info

A similar deal has been posted today (5 June 2012) with the following info:

Oral-B CrossAction Power - 50% off $7.69 @ Woolworths

Saw these at woolies today. They aren't in the catalogue or online.

    I purchased the oral B PC or personal care 500 from ebay for $19.95 plus postage from the UK, I need it as a replacement for my unit with the what I call pressure wash facility and in Australia the cheapest I could find was $80 at Billy Guyatts in Vic so I agree it is not or should not be $100 in Australia so that's a great deal and I will try and but one as a spare… Thanks

    cowping on 30/05/2012 - 22:29

    According to the Oral b site, there isn't much difference between the bottom end and top end that I can see. The lowest model cleans teeth, this one has more modes and the top end adds user feedback. Wow! If it wasn't for the outright savings through the cashback and half price special, is there be any compelling reason to get anything but the basic model?

      I have had my oral B PC 500 for over 15 years and since I had it my dentist thinks its great, he was the one that recommended it. I note that the different models offer different speeds and pulsing, to what benefit I do not know as my dentist thinks my teeth are great since I have had the older PC 500 at half the rotations of the 3000 model.

      Now I have severe arthritis I find even more important in my daily oral hygiene as it is much easier than a manual toothbrush. So in the end I think whether is an Oral B 500 or a 1000 I think they all work well excluding the Oral B vitality that I bought once to travel overseas, it was less than half the weight of the 500, if you put pressure on it, well it stopped, did not hold a charge like my 500 model that lasts on one charge 30 days+ and well the vitality model just stopped working after 6 months :(

        MadTacoWarrior on 30/05/2012 - 23:32

        That's because Professional Care comes with a better NiMH battery. Vitality comes with a NiCd. NiCd doesn't mean it's bad. However, if you keep charging partially discharged NiCd batteries as many do with these electric brushes, you will notice the memory effect within a few months.

        My wife and I had two Oral-Bs with a NiCd battery; we bought two in order to alternate and discharge as much as possible before recharging. Even with full discharge-recharge cycles, they lasted probably three years. On the other hand, our last Oral-B with a NiMH battery lasted six years (over 2000 cycles) before the battery charge became an issue.

          My PC 500 lasted 15 years and the only reason I replaced was because of multiple floor bruising

      mattgal on 31/05/2012 - 10:51

      i've already got a vitality but i don't see any advantage in buying a professional care 500. it's been going fine for a year or two now.

      if you put pressure on it, well it stopped,

      brushing is supposed to be gentle, otherwise your gums will receed

      That is what I am thinking! You can return ('must be sent in the original packaging' with receipt) as long as postmarked within 30 days of purchase. But the postage on 300g + packaging will cost me 1/3 cost of brush. Still, with a better battery & longer life of this one, it would be worth it. Off to Woolies!

      There is also… Oral-B 180 Day Trial Offer

    Woolworths are seling the PROFESSIONAL CARE "5000" for $49.95, not the "PROFESSIONAL CARE 500 for $49.95"
    The cashback offer is valid on the 500 and NOT on the 5000 model.
    correct me if I'm wrong, because I bought two today @$49.95 (down from $99) only to realize I cant get cashback.

    Woolworths is selling the 500, but it's coming up as 5000 on the receipt (for me anyway). So everyone that has bought one, do check that.

    I rang up to double check (they're probably sick of OzBargainers calls by now!), and they said just to note it down on the receipt.

    If you're interested in knowing the differences between the toothbrushes.

    Professional Care 500 - 7600 oscillations/min, 20000 pulsations/min
    Professional Care 1000+/Triumph - 8800 oscillations/min, 40000 pulsations/min

    I found mine on the second Woolworth I visited, first one wouldn't let me get a rain check though. Combined with the everyday rewards card (I got 10% off) this makes it $14.95!!!! Extremely happy!
