My Summary Statement: Has Some Improvements Over Former Series 5000 Models
Our family has been using Oral B electric toothbrushes for years. This model, the Smartseris 5000 professional care model has some improvements over the older models which some of us were still using.
First, the sensor tells if you are exerting too much pressure on the teeth - this is to help prevent enamel abrasion. This sensor also tells you which quadrant to brush and shows when you are done with that quadrant should you be forgetful (such as when you are groggy in the morning).
There is a new design to the stand which keeps it plugged into the charger. If you want to not use electricity all the time unplug it from your electrical outlet. This stand holds other brush heads if other family members are sharing the unit with you. This new shape to the stand is stable and won't tip over, it is more stable than older model's recharging stands which were smaller and just wider than the toothbrush.
Lastly there is a new travel case which we appreciate since we do travel with our electric toothbrushes. The case not only keeps the brush heads from being crushed but it protects the actual device. It holds the unit and additional brush heads.
