Surprised noone mentioned Phillips sonicare. It is European, or am I wrong?
Yeah, I recently got one, and it said made in Netherlands I think.
sonicare is quite pricey, at least the replacement, definitely go look for cheaper replacement heads, those should work. or you can look into off-brand ones that are even cheaper.
Oh yeah i always get off brand replacements. Their only disadvantage is that you dont get automatic reminders to replace the head, but i dont mind.
Aside from that its pretty crazy, that the original ones have a nfc chip (i think) on them to enable these notifications - something that is absolutely insane on a prduct you throw away regularly in my opinion.
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’ve had my sonicare for years but last I checked replacement heads were $30 for a pack of 3 on amazon.
Sonicare is very good, but I think we can say, that it’s not entirely european. It seems at least China is in the boat too.
the current models are cheap and very flimsy, went with an offbrand one.
I have Suri. Sustainable toothbrush. Its quite good I am happy with it. And no nonsense phone app. Its a toothbrush.

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

Yes sadly it is. And of course the trackers in the app for Oral-B are off the scale. It’s absolutely not needed, especially when the newer Oral-B’s have the charging station that also doubles as indicator if you press too hard, which sector you should brush and which sectors you have already done (not that I need any of that).

Yeah, I feel similarly. I think it would be okay as a guidance to teach us to properly clean our teeth (believe it or not, vast majority of people already do not know how to properly do that and dentists do not teach us) but blindly follow apps all the time… We will end up like in wall-e or something. My backup is just actually do things intentionally. I don’t care if It is slow, I have time, why would I rush things. I guess I am trying to enjoy the journey rather than focus on goals and stuff.

I agree that parents should be teaching a lots of things, but if they don’t know how to do things, there should be some instances where to amend that. In case of teeth cleaning I think dentists as experts on dental hygiene should be the good resource. Lots of dentists is even overloaded, at least in Czechia, so I would guess its in their interest to teach people how to care about teeth. The story about potty training is crazy. Its like the other day I have been recommended a youtube video that showed stuff like how to clean toielt, bathtube or kitchen, and I was absolutely stunned how many commenters were thanking the guy for showing them how to do that. I mean good that he did, but I would have never thought there is so many people that do not know how to clean after themselves…
Yeah, I have stumbled upon the old internet movement quite recently and I really love it, I want to jump on that bandwagon as well. Good old days 😀 I feel like grandpa. I am curious where we are heading with all the sh…t thats happening.
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.
Cavemen used to chew on twigs.
Sailors used Whiskey
I use a special kind of wooden stick with some fibres which clean my teeth.
No battery, phone app, or massive landfill of small mechanical toothbrush parts.
Edit: although I could also try the whiskey option…
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.
i used an off-brand sonic toothbrush, it had all the features of the name brand ones and it comes with 6 replacement heads, there are others, but the current one i have isnt sold anymore. i still use oral b 1000 toothbrush, but i bought the “off-brand” brand name replacement which was super cheap and longer lasting than the american replacement heads, the ones that are geared towards german oral b devices.
Boombrush is a great choice
