Aren't you buying a toothbrush with a bunch of features you'll never use though? Why not just buy a less fully-featured privacy respecting toothbrush?
(Something is up with the world when you're thinking about toothbrushes that respect your privacy. It's like something out of a Douglas Adams book.)
- kelnos 2y agoSure, but pretty much my only considerations were the quality of brushing, cost of new brushes, and general reliability. The one I thought was best and in-budget just happened to have these anti-features too, which fortunately I don't have to use. It wasn't worth it to me to spend more time on it to see if I could find something without the connected crap. (And I do wonder if the connected crap makes the device cheaper, since they're hoping to make money on selling user data.)
- latexr 2y agoThis is speculation, but maybe electric toothbrushes are going the way of TVs, in that most have “smart” features and you pay a premium for one without.
