They changed their dental floss.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Glide floss used to be superior, but now it's different and worse.
  • - It’s thinner, harsher, shreds, and hurts, so I’ll find a new floss.

I have used Glide floss for years. It was a superior product.

When I purchased it again a couple of months ago, it was totally different. It is awful. ***, harsher, shreds, hurts. Why did you destroy an already perfect product?

Now I have to find a new floss to use.

I suppose this is in the name of 'new and improved' and costs more. Thanks for nothing, Oral-B.

Cons:
  • Junk product

Preferred solution: Apology

User's recommendation: Do not buy this junk.

Nobody is available by chat for a long long long time and I need more than the web site offered me.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Oral B chat failed after three attempts; no live agent via phone.
  • - There is no customer service; they refer to the website to save us money.

Oral B chat was useless to me even after three attempts using it and the phone number that your service provided me never makes a live person available to you. In short there's presently no true customer service available at this company.

They feel just referring you to their web site will provide us with all we could possibly need. They are certainly saving money but literally at our expense!!

Pros:
  • Superior to products
Cons:
  • No customer service to speak of
  • Overly expensive toothbrush heads

Preferred solution: If I have to spend the kind of money they charge I want a discount coupon for a store purchase of an IO model. My Genius model died after about five years and I don't care to get a different brand electric toothbrush.

User's recommendation: Obviously if I had a clue what to do I could make a recommendation but people that are here NEED a recommendation. They don't have one to offer.

AI Highlights
  • - Lerato from customer care has November email records.
  • - Refund of R1499 promised within 7 working days on 3 December; not received.

(ref !00d800puz7.!500kzoeylg:ref) look up my emails to and from customer care from November of this year - your Lerato from customer care has the records if she hasn't already deleted them.

I was promised a refund of R1499.00 within 7 working days on the 3rd of December - to date nothing from them - after numerous emails asking what's happening.

This is the most disgusting customer service I have ever had the misfortune to deal with.

Rest assured this will be on Blue *** and every other portal I can post it onto.

Absolute rubbish tooth pick material

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - The formula was changed from a perfectly good product, now seen as useless and landfill.
  • - Reviewer says the change harms the brand and is rubbish.

Your tooth picks, you've changed the formula didnt you. You went and took a perfectly good product and cheapened it to a completely uselss bundle of landfill.

In what world did you think you were going to pull this off? Nice way to kill your brand. Absolute rubbish.

Needed that extra yacht for the ceo I'm guessing. You all should be ashamed of yourselves.

Loss:
$5
Pros:
  • No pros
Cons:
  • Cheap pieces of crap
  • You suck
  • Breaks on one tooth

Preferred solution: The old formula back. Or this just goes the way of every greedy company. Disgruntled will just find another reputable company who isn't trying to rip off their customers.

User's recommendation: no way

Terrible customer service and policies.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Unclear money-back guarantee and two toothbrushes returned for harsh motion on gums.
  • - Return through two other entities; paperwork is tedious.

Agree with complaints regarding money back guarantee - or lack thereof.

Two toothbrushes are being returned due to harsh motion on gums. Even the sensitive heads are strong and uncomfortable.

Getting through to one of the many divisions to accomplish a return requires jumping through ridiculous hoops to speak to a relevant customer service representative.

The divisions work independently from one another.

The paperwork, required authorizations and tedious representative conversations make dealing with this company unbearable.

One customer noted the personal information Oral B seeks simply to make a return; this was our experience as well.

You cannot return merchandise on the Oral B website where the merchandise is originally ordered.

You have to go through 2 other entities and an unreasonable process.

Discombobulated, unprofessional and outdated come to mind in describing the experience with Oral B. I do not recommend their products or dealing with this company.

I contacted oral b and didn’t even offer me anythingVery bad customer service

Original review Apr 13, 2025

After the phone call, I felt like it was a huge mistake that I bought an oral B toothbrush and the representative did not offer me anything such as replacing the toothbrush. All he was busy doing was lecturing me about cleaning my hands before touching the toothbrush, even though he didn't ask me anything about that. All he did was assume on his behalf, and that left me very upset and pissed off with no resolution.

Loss:

Pros:
  • I used to love oral b but now negative
Cons:
  • Bad quality product and worse customer service

Preferred solution: It will be only fair to replace my toothbrush

User's recommendation: Not to buy oral b because of bad quality and worse customer service

Genius sucks

AI Highlights
  • - Replaced twice; still loses Bluetooth with iPhone.
  • - Two years of failures; smart features don't work.
  • - We request a permanent fix, replacement, or refund.

I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction with the performance of the Oral-B Genius toothbrush I purchased over two years ago. Despite its promising features, my experience with this product has been consistently frustrating and disappointing.

Since the original purchase, you have already replaced the device twice due to repeated malfunctions.

Unfortunately, even the current unit continues to exhibit the same core issue: it persistently loses its Bluetooth connection with my iPhone. I have tried everything within reason to resolve thisrestarting my phone, restarting the brush, repairing the Bluetooth connection multiple timesyet the problem remains.

Even when I hold the toothbrush in one hand and the phone in the other, standing directly in front of the device, the connection drops unpredictably. This makes the app-based features unreliable and, frankly, useless. I specifically chose this model for its advertised smart functionality, which simply does not work as intended.

After two years of repeated failures, I can no longer view this as an isolated technical issue.

The product does not live up to its claims and has become a source of consistent inconvenience. I would appreciate a meaningful resolution to this matterwhether that be a permanent fix, a replacement with a more reliable model, or a refund.

Loss:
$200
Pros:
  • It brushes well
Cons:
  • Bluethooth does not work

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Do not buy

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE

I own an electric toothbrush of yours, and I think it does a great job, but it's developing a nasty smell at the base where the brush joins the main unit.

  • Develops a smell around brush base

Preferred solution: New unit as mine smells

User's recommendation: dont bother to call. No answer. No info. No response but to ask your opinion on the response. VERY FRUSTRATING. MAKES ME WANT TO USE ANOTHER PRODUCT

How to change batteries on oral b

Updated by user May 22, 2025

I am still unable to open my Oral B to replace the batteries.The Oral B brushing time varies from 2 min to 20 seconds, then shuts down and I have to brush as if it is just a normal toothbrush. It's a 10+ yr old model that came with a separate plug in-digital clock. I cannot find the button to push in to open the bottom.

Original review May 07, 2025

my oral b is about 10 yrs old and the batteries are in the unit and need to be replaced. BUT I am unable to twist the bottom piece to get access to them. How do I do it without damaging the unit?
