Oral-B discontinued Alexa toothbrush in 2022, now sells $400 "AI" toothbrush.

    No toothbrush will last a lifetime, so maybe don’t put $320 in it

      That has definitely been my strategy, yeah. It’s just such a wild discrepancy to the handful of dollars you spend on a perfectly serviceable hand-operated brush.

      Unfortunately, there are many plastic toothbrushes that are lasting lifetimes in our landfills. Once I learned that, I switched to eco-friendly ones. There just isn’t a need for a smart/ai toothbrush, IMO.
