Oclean Endurance Electric Toothbrush review: What do you get for the money?
For the Oclean Endurance’s £30 price tag, you’ll get the electric toothbrush with one brush head and a USB-C charging cable. My review model was an attractive mint colour but according to Oclean, both this and the purple option are out of stock at the time of writing, with only the white and black colours available.
Measuring in at 25 x 2.2cm (HW) and weighing around 104g, the toothbrush is pleasant to hold in the hand while brushing. Thanks to its subtle twisted design, you can grip it well so it feels secure even when wet. Crucially, it’s water-resistant, which meant that even when I dropped it in a full sink by mistake, it continued working.
The controls for the Oclean Endurance couldn’t be simpler, since there’s only one button in the middle of the brush. This enables you to switch the device on and choose between its two cleaning modes with a double press. While it doesn’t have an indicator light to show which mode you’re using, the difference between the two modes is crystal clear – the gentle option is less intense and recommended for newbies, while the stronger cleaning mode is far more powerful, meaning the bristles vibrate far quicker. I definitely noticed a higher intensity of clean when using the stronger mode, but if you’re new to electric toothbrushes, Oclean advises only moving up intensities once you’re comfortable with the vibrations on the gentler mode.
While there’s no pressure sensor on the Oclean Endurance, the brush comes with a handy two-minute timer built in. This timer vibrates every 30 seconds to let you know it’s time to move to a new quadrant of the mouth – a handy feature that should help you brush all areas of your teeth and gums evenly.
As is the case with most electric toothbrushes, Oclean suggests changing the head every three months. To replace the heads, you simply slide the brush head off the handle. For an electric toothbrush that only costs £30, replacement heads are an annual cost you’ll want to bear in mind if you’re on a tight budget. Thankfully, replacement heads are pretty reasonably priced compared to other sonic toothbrushes – you can buy a pack of four heads for £25.
You won’t get a travel case with this brush, but you will receive a convenient wall-mount to secure your brush to the wall in-between uses. Since we’re short on bathroom counter space, I found this feature mighty useful. Further to this, since the brush is charged via a USB-C cable that plugs into the bottom of the brush, you don’t need to have a two-pin bathroom plug socket, or converter, to charge the brush.
