I’ve been thinking about upgrading my electric toothbrush since my current crappy one is basically on death’s door after a couple years of use. Is there like a toothbrush equivalent of a Toyota Hilux I should know about?
None, because almost all eletric toothbrushes are full of spyware and they are useless
I’ve had a Phillips Sonicare for years with no complaints.
I do have one complaint, the price of brush heads. Top notch performance otherwise.
The generics I’ve tried all work but noticably worse. The quality of the bristles is different and it doesn’t leave the same clean feeling. The price of the genuine replacements is stupid and they keep increasing it, but I’ve given up on finding a good quality generic one and just pay the price. They don’t need replacing that often anyway.
If anyone does know of a good quality C2 compatible replacement please do let me know though.
I got an oral b toothbrush (primary selling point for me, was the pressure sensor that alerts you if you’re pressing too hard against your teeth, I think I paid around €150 for it back then), well over 8 years ago, and it’s still going strong. The battery still easily holds a week’s charge too, which is great for holidays
I’m a big fan of my Burst toothbrush. If you want, you can sign up for their replacement brush head subscription where they’ll send you a replacement brush head every 3 months or so.
Oral B Pro 1000. On my 2nd one. First one lasted several years before the rechargeable battery pooped out. Dentist has been very happy with the results.
One tip: I dry mine thoroughly after each use. I take the brush head off, and dry the metal parts under there. Keeps it from gooping up over time. Sounds like a hassle, but it’s not, takes about 5 seconds.
