If you share a bathroom, an electric toothbrush for couples needs to suit two people: two different brushing styles, two sets of heads to keep track of, and one bench that should not be crowded with chargers. The Duo Fresh Bundle was our original two brush set, built around Pro-Pulse.
Pro-Pulse is now our previous model, and PulseONE Duo, two PulseONE brushes for A$426, is our current two brush option. Here is what to look for, and how the two compare.
What the Duo Fresh Bundle is
The Duo Fresh Bundle is two Pro-Pulse sonic toothbrushes sold together. Pro-Pulse is a sonic brush with three modes, up to 30 days of battery, USB magnetic base charging and IPX7 water resistance.
Pro-Pulse is still available while stock lasts, so you may still see the Duo Fresh Bundle mentioned. If you own one, keep using it with a light touch and replace each head about every three months. Pro-Pulse heads fit Pro-Pulse only and do not fit PulseONE. For more on the original set, see our article on the electric toothbrush twin pack.
What couples should look for in two brushes
- Easy to tell apart. Two identical brushes on one bench get mixed up. Different finishes, or giving each brush its own spot, make it simple to know whose is whose.
- Modes for different needs. One of you may have sensitive teeth while the other prefers a firmer clean. Each brush should offer a gentle setting and a deeper one.
- Charging that does not crowd the bench. Two charging bases take up space and need two power points. Charging from a cable you already own is simpler.
- Battery life that suits both schedules. If one of you travels, a long battery means no charger to pack.
- Predictable head costs. Two people means twice the heads, so check the ongoing price before you buy.
PulseONE Duo: the current two brush option
PulseONE Duo is two PulseONE brushes for A$426, which is A$30 less than buying two separately at A$228 each. Each PulseONE has:
- SonicSweep technology: 38,000 movements a minute, with the head sweeping 45 degrees side to side.
- SmartSense Brushing technology: a two minute timer with a short buzz every 30 seconds to move to the next quarter of the mouth.
- Three modes, Sensitive, Deep Clean and Polishing, with a light ring that shows the mode.
- 45 days on one charge, approximately six weeks, from any USB-C cable, with no charging base.
- A 71 g brushed aluminium body, IPX7 water resistance and a touch sensitive button that will not switch on in a bag.
For what comes with each brush, including heads, travel case and the Oradent WallMount, see our what's in the box page.
What changed from Pro-Pulse to PulseONE
If you are replacing a Duo Fresh Bundle, these are the main differences:
- Battery: from up to 30 days to 45 days on one charge.
- Charging: USB-C with no base, instead of a magnetic charging base.
- Body: brushed aluminium in Platinum, Rose or Graphite.
- Storage: the Oradent WallMount keeps each brush off the bench.
- Pacing: SmartSense prompts every 30 seconds across a two minute clean.
Running costs for two
Heads are the ongoing cost of any electric toothbrush. Replacing each head about every three months means four heads a year per person. PulseONE Heads come in a 2-pack for A$29, so that is A$58 a year each, or A$116 for two. White heads suit Platinum and Rose, and Graphite heads suit Graphite. The Head Plan sends fresh heads on a schedule, which is one less thing for a busy household to remember.
Questions
Can two people share one electric toothbrush with separate heads?
It is possible, but it means swapping heads every time and sharing one battery. Two brushes are simpler, more hygienic in day to day use, and let each person use the mode that suits them.
Is the Duo Fresh Bundle still available?
Pro-Pulse, the brush in the Duo Fresh Bundle, is still available while stock lasts. PulseONE Duo is our current two brush option.
Do Pro-Pulse heads fit PulseONE?
No. Pro-Pulse heads fit Pro-Pulse only, and PulseONE heads fit PulseONE only.
What cover comes with PulseONE?
PulseONE has a 12 month warranty and our 7 day smile guarantee: use it every day for 7 days, and if you are not happy, we give you a full refund and pay the return.
