Anyone doubting Electric toothbrushes because of frugality reasons is a class A moron.

Do not "save" money when it conerns your health.

Braun seems like one of a few brands left that don't fuck around with planned obsolescence of their products. Their shit just lasts. Braun 5 shaver, Braun toothbrush both 5+ old look and run like brand new. Hard to believe.

They actually get their money via sales of the brushheads.

Agree 100%. I admit I used manual toothbrushes till about a year ago because I get them free from the dentist and figured why spend the $50+ for an electric. Went to my first cleaning since buying an electric toothbrush and not a single cavity and they spent less time removing plaque so smaller bill = win, win, win!

Electric toothbrush changed my life. I used to dread going to the dentist because no matter how hard I try I keep getting cavities. Now I breeze in and out of dental checkups.

A $50 electric toothbrush saved me thousands on dental bills. I don't consider this a BIFL item. When the battery wears out after 3 years I get a new brush. I don't skimp on this stuff anymore.
