What electric toothbrushes do you guys use?

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?

  • I managed to get an Oral B one for cheap, and it's been doing me fine. Maybe there are better brands, maybe there aren't, but it does the job.

    Honestly, what might be better than the toothbrush itself is the timer in it. Forces me to do the full 2 minutes rather than me stopping after 30secs or so.

  • I got a two pack of the Colgate Hum on sale at Woot, and I really like it. It has a Bluetooth connected app that tells me how efficient I am, and it’s definitely made me a better brusher.

  • Oral B Smart 5000

    Got it free in exchange for a survey. It's got Bluetooth and an app and I thought it was ridiculous and I never would have paid for it.

    I was still with my ex, so it's been going on strong for at least 8 years now, and I use generic brush heads just fine. I think oral B had the highest speed if that's your thing.

    I like the Bluetooth timer module because it has a fun face on it that tells me if I'm doing good that reminds me of a tamagotchi.

    The battery won't hold the charge for days like it did, so I keep it on the base now, and it still holds enough juice to get through us brushing with it. Whenever it dies, I plan to replace it with whatever the current model is.
