      I have used both and my wife too. The Sonicare is a fucking garbage toothbrush. The oral-b is superior in every way. Speaking with my dentist and prior dentists, they also agree. The little buzzing bullshit doesn’t do a near good enough job in removing as mechanical motion of the oral-b

      Every Sonicare toothbrush I’ve owned has torn itself apart after a year of use.

      So I are is amazing. However, like everything with a battery, it starts to deteriorate after a year and dies after 2 years. I love them though. If you go from a sonic are to an oral b, it feels like you’ve gone from the brush of the future, to using a broken lawnmower in your mouth.

    I am really happy with boombrush.

    I really like having a bigger battery, that I habe to load less than once a month and via a default USB-C cable.

    Also Stiftung Warentest did a comparison between electric tooth brushes and theirs rated fairly high. It got severly punished for not providing a comprehensive printed manual, which is a non-issue in my opinion.

    I can recommend the happybrush https://www.happybrush.de/products/schallzahnbuerste-eco-vibe-3-set-m?variant=54320369729804 (Do not know if there is an English version of this page) At least the vibe3+ is made in Germany. They also focus on using recycled materials, wherever possible.

        You don’t need to use the app. No need. Just push the button and let it go

        You need your toothbrush to be able to contact you in case of emergency!
