I love my electric toothbrush. It cost me 20 bucks and it’s amazing. I analyzed it from a UX point of view and couldn’t come up with any designs flaw.
- it’s waterproof, so easy to clean
- it has a single physical button, nothing else
- it has a small flat stand on the back, so I can put it somewhere horizontally and it won’t roll, and the brush won’t touch the surface
- the heads can be easily changed, so we share the same toothbrush with my SO but have our own brush. The heads have a different color ring so they’re easy to recognize
- the charging station is small, holds in place and is generally painless. You just put the toothbrush on it and that’s it
- the battery itself easily lasts 2 weeks
- when using it the brush buzzes every 30 seconds but that’s it, you can ignore it if you wish. If you accidentally turn the brush off but turn it back on quickly, it remembers where you were and won’t start the buzzes from the beginning
- the best thing about electric toothbrush is that they gracefully degrade to a normal toothbrush. I love graceful degradation
I talked about users of more expensive electric toothbrushes (100-200$), but I’m confident mine is the best.

- losvedir 5y agoTurns out this isn't true. A Boston subway station had a pretty grim escalator failure a month or two ago[0], where the escalator broke and the stairs started to free-fall backwards piling people at the bottom.
