Oral B sell a variety of Electric toothbrushes, dependent on the built in Li ion battery.
Some of them hook up to a mobile phone by bluetooth to track how you brush. The thing is once the battery dies the £150 toothbrush is useless, it's' sealed so replacing the battery isn't trivial.
I think in the battery may last a fair bit longer now.
Electric tooth brushes are quite an improvement over a normal tooth brush.
- Redneck-Tech 2y agoWhy repair something when the repair's cost more than this years model which boasts more privacy pirating features than the one you currently own? Manual brushing is so retro... just walk through the automated car wash with your mouth open and at the end make sure you smile.
- tallanvor 2y agoThere are tradeoffs both ways. A user replaceable battery can extend the life, but it also introduces a way for water to get in and short it out, thereby drastically decreasing the lifespan. But given the overall power requirements for the device, ensuring that the battery is charged appropriately to extend the lifespan is pretty easy. My Philips is over 4 years old now and if I'm traveling for a week I may need to charge it once (never really tried to let it drain fully), and it gets used twice a day.
- vel0city 2y agoI recently had to replace the handle of my Oral B electric toothbrush with a built-in sealed battery. The battery got to the point where it couldn't hold a charge for at least two brushings without it noticeably having its power output diminished. I bought that brush handle in 2009. 15 years of life, and if I didn't mind about the second brush charge I probably could have squeezed another year or two out of it.
