neeeeeeeeeek Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I have had a Philips Sonicare for about 4 years. It has been great, but recently the rubber button has disintegrated and dropped inside. As a result, the little microswitch it made contact with has now broken so time to get a new one. I managed to rip the thing to bits, but repairing it is probably not an option. shame as the electronics work fine. Anyway, I also need a new one. They are half price in Boots at the mo. I would not bother with the UV sanitiser rubbish, the £60 one seems the best deal to me. The only thing that puts me off getting another one is the ridiculous price they charge for new heads. There is no justification for it. Apparently, the Oral B ones are cheaper, but I have not tried their sonic range. My mum has an Oral B electric one that was very expensive, but I think it's awful. Not a patch on the sonic ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teuton Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 What are the best sonic toothbrushes to go for without costing the earth, am looking for a major upgrade to manual brushing. Electric toothbrushes are terrible for the environment with all the batteries and recharging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinz Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I thought Brits didn't brush their teeth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a wasp Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Thread is not about cleaning your teeth with a cartoon hedgehog that can run really fast and fight robots. Rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert_Baehr Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Anybody who cleans her teeth with a hedgehog should be reported to the ILPH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mecky Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I've got the oral B one. Had it for years, and the battery is still good for about 3 weeks worth of brushing. I've changed the head of course many times in that period! Had one of those rechargeable ones for about 6 years maybe. It bust last week when I tried replacing the brush.
