I dentist I used to have originally recommended a Sonicare one. This was about 15 years ago, but I’m now keen to try an Oral B one. There is also an Oral B 2500 on Amazon for £30. Yes to the quadrant timer!I got a really cheap Sonicare one free with a magazine, it was terrible.
The higher priced ones are decent for both brands and often half price, most dentists seem to recommend oral b as it removes more plaque though they often say they use a manual themselves.
I seem to switch between the two brands once the battery life becomes bad. That one is probably great, the higher ones come with silly gadgets that are a waste of time. Just make sure it has a quadrant timer.
I think when I first bought one I did pay full price. Never since though.This might help. Seems that you do get what you pay for.. but has anyone ever paid full price for an electric toothbrush?

I once paid full price for an air flosser, those bloody things last about a year then just stop working. Now i'm using a lidi one that was £30.This might help. Seems that you do get what you pay for.. but has anyone ever paid full price for an electric toothbrush?

That is one of the ones I was looking at. Ocado has a *special* offer on the Oral B 2000 for today, for £29.99 but I don’t think it’s any better than the 2500.I once paid full price for an air flosser, those bloody things last about a year then just stop working.

But good dental work is so expensive and I can't floss as that keeps pulling out fillings in between teeth
Wow at some of the toothbrushes with a 300 rrp that are on "sale" for 90. I don't want a toothbrush that I have to download an app for and sync up
I'd get this one for £30 - pressure sensor and quadrant timer https://www.amazon.co.uk/Oral-B-CrossAction-Electric-Toothbrush-Rechargeable/dp/B00PIRQEBO/
Which Oral B one? The brush shape on the Oral B is so different and so I thought it might get into more spaces.I love my sonicare. I bought a mid range one years ago with a few features on it and the battery charge dropped off after about 5yrs. I replaced it with a bargain Oral B equivalent and it just felt like it was crudely clanking around my mouth like the kids battery ones. I replaced that one after a couple of months and went back to a sonicare, much smoother motion and felt better in my mouth and my teeth felt cleaner. I just replaced it with a basic model (it has one mode and does do the quadrant timer) and it’s great.
Does the job, does it comfortably and thoroughly.
From reading Amazon reviews, a big problem with Oral Bs seemed to be holding a battery charge but they seemed to have ironed that out by using lithium batteries. Never had a problem with battery charge on a Sonicare.I've got an Oral B one I got from Superdrug (on sale lol) never had any problems
My parents used to have a water pik in their bathroom that I loved using (electrical points allowed in US bathrooms) so have been thinking about getting one. Never heard of or used an air flosser.I once paid full price for an air flosser, those bloody things last about a year then just stop working. Now i'm using a lidi one that was £30.

I think air flosser / water pik are all the same thing but different brands. They're good and better than tepe's (those rubber ones I'm sure are designed to only last a few uses before they start depositing plastic in your mouth). But I'm on my 5th one, I think they're super susceptible to break unlike electric toothbrushesMy parents used to have a water pik in their bathroom that I loved using (electrical points allowed in US bathrooms) so have been thinking about getting one.

There is a dentist Instamum @comedowntothewoods. I used to follow her but had to stop. Way too many artfully draped chunky blankets.I think air flosser / water pik are all the same thing but different brands.

I hope a dentist turns up on this thread soon
i can’t recall the model, sorry. It was so long ago, it’s probably been discontinued. It was about £40, “half price” on a supermarket offer but I get the impression that they are DFS sofas in that respectThat is one of the ones I was looking at.

Thanks to you and your sister for that useful piece of advice!My sister is a dental nurse and always says just buy the cheapest one in the brand you prefer (for me Oral B) and then you can just buy the fancy heads for the brand you’ve gotThe heads are what they sell the more pricey models on nine times out of ten, but they are a universal fit
