Unlike the above deal which is admittedly cheaper this should have a 12 day Lithium Battery (if current stock) with no memory effect i.e. 5 days better battery life than previous NiMh versions!
Sound Connectivity explained, bit of a gimmick but explained here:
Also in other colours for slightly more but would recommend taking from box and checking for lithium ion symbol on the base of the brush
This is a biggy as many of the complaints on Amazon re. Oral B brushes with NiMh batteries are about battery life (in use) and battery longevity overall.
Oral B Pro 600 Pink Special Edition
3D movement cleaning system oscillates, rotates, and pulsates - mimics the shape of professional cleaning tools.
- The perfect angle: CrossAction removes up to 100% more plaque vs a regular manual toothbrush.
- Timer indicates dentist-recommended brushing time of two minutes - with 30 second intervals.
- Included in pack: Rechargeable toothbrush handle, Charging station, 1 brush head: 1 CrossAction
+1 to the bad deal. Was always a punt once it became understood they were all clearing old stock. Well done to @termite though.
As it stands, best deal for the NiMH version is the Groupon at £14, which I think is a fair price for the old battery tech.
For now, this has cost me a trip to the local Superdrug for a return (although I was on my way out to return the Amazon anyway :wink: )

I thought it was a pillocks trick to post a deal based on one delivery, the only way to guarantee a li-ion battery is to buy instore. Tesco have a half price offer and I have seen the new brushes in a few stores this week

Pillock or otherwise I've contributed a ton of good deals to this site and plenty of content people have taken them up compared to your offerings. Sometimes people like a bit of a punt. I'm sure there are lots that have ordered 'incredible' deals from Amazon half knowing they wouldn't honour. If anything my post raised awareness with other HUKD users to keep an eye out for Lithium versions which I've been looking out for, for some time.
At what point BEFORE everyone took a punt did you say "the only way to guarantee Li-ion is to buy in store?" Its not as if you hadn't seen the post is it? Did you/have you broadcast to everyone which stores you have seen the Lithium brushes, nope.

I bought the Pro 2 2000 a few weeks back since I wanted the Li-on Battery and it specifically states on the box that its a Li-on battery. I would have thought the new 600 would do the same. By the way the Pro 2 2000 is available in stores at Boots for £39.99 and that has the Pressure Sensor.

Just picked my order up from Superdrug, opened it to check and it hasn’t got a lithium battery. I hope they accept it back for a refund

25 Sep 17#34
Is there anything on the box to indicate which battery it has?
tinkerbell1963 to spammy

Nothing on the box, that’s why I had to open it. The box looks the same as the one pictured above.
xeroc to tinkerbell1963
25 Sep 17#37
No, if it says "7 day battery" on the box then it is the old model. If it claims 12 days, then it is the new model.

Superdrug in Guildford had a few of the 600 range at £24.98 which looks more like a clearance price than an offer.
I inpsected the boxes in Boots and they mentioned a "7 day life" - I assume the lithium models would claim a longer life? There were two slightly different styles though - one had "0% cadmium/0% mercury" etc on the bottom, another didn't, but also nothing about lithium - somebody mentioned the newer ones have a sticker?

Yeah I think they're just getting rid of the old battery stock so the deal poster probably just got lucky with the new 12 day battery. So disappointing! :disappointed:

No, superdrug offers are should be concurrent online and in store. If by your logic the shops should always be full price they'd shut down pretty quickly as everyone would buy online only, especially as it's free delivery no matter how little the cost of the item with a beauty card.

So just to be clear.... the 600 is newer than the 650 and may have a better battery (subject to a sticker), but the 600 will probably work with the app via sound connectivity, because, well all of their brushes sound the same anyway?
Great work Oral-B. Bravo.

No. 600 and 650 are just different pack variants of the same model (650 includes toothpaste).
Hsn2000 to pcs7038
24 Sep 17#24
No. I have the 650 in black and I bought the misses 600 in pink. Huge difference in battery performance. Not only does it last longer but rotates the brush head more consistently. You can feel the difference on your teeth!
I couldn't make sense of why there was a difference until the last couple of posts on hukd brought it to light.

If you're looking to purchase in-store some are scanning at £24.99. Some stores are aware the price should be either £22.49 (or in my case £22.48) but wise to phone ahead as some will say the online and in-store prices do sometimes vary.
On a separate note Home Bargains has the Pro 650 model in pink for £19.99.

Are you mixing up Lithium Ion with Eneloop/Accu NiMh batteries? Nickel Metal Hydride batteries are pretty fussy re. charging mid charge. They suffer memory effect if you don't completely discharge then fully recharge.
Lithium ion batteries are quite happy to be boost charged in fact they perform better if you don't try to fully discharge or fully charge, which is much more convenient IMO.
Looks like the overall capacity is improved too if you read the links I've posted, just over 40% by my reckoning.
I've been waiting for the longer battery life ones to come out. I hope I can find this in store! :grin:

Oral B are upgrading all their brushes to Li-Ion batteries.
You may well end up with the old NiMH battery.
gazdoubleu to plebbygiraffe
23 Sep 17#10
Termite got his/hers from Superdrug and got Lithium ion, see link to post at top.
I don't think this sound activation business has been out on the cheaper brushes very long so I'm confident enough to order based on that and also these 2 links.
Oral B are very good at 'hiding' battery technology as you'll read in my recent posts but Superdrug have a large stock turnover and would allow return to store if there was no evidence the toothbrush had been used.
Otherwise I'll let you know in about 3 days as my order is in!
