Summary
Tom's Guide calls it the best kids' electric toothbrush, with an ergonomic grip, 2-minute timer, pressure sensor, and gentle oscillating movement sized for small mouths. Wirecutter also notes the Pro 1000 handle works with Oral-B's kid-size heads as a family-friendly alternative.
Wirecutter's top pick for nearly a decade and Reddit's go-to recommendation. Delivers everything you need — timer, pressure sensor, affordable replacement heads — at a price that makes premium brushes hard to justify.

- Built-in 2-minute brushing timer and pressure sensor
- Affordable replacement heads (~$14 for a pack of three)
- Compact, travel-friendly charger

Cons
- Not rechargeable at base model — uses replaceable batteries

Our take
For parents who want a dedicated kids' brush in the Oral-B ecosystem, this delivers all the right features — timer, pressure alert, gentle action — without overwhelming a child's mouth.
This is the one. If you buy the Pro 1000 and use it consistently, you will not need anything else. The fact that a CNET editor replaced a stolen $200 brush with this $50 one and never looked back says everything.
