but why one needs a smart toothbrush that requires an account in the first place? does it have a loudspeaker so you can listen to some Cannibal Corpse on Qobuz while brushing your teeth?
Philip's Sonicare line uses an app to track your brushing habits and can tell you when you're underbrushing spots. It's almost definitely also spyware, though, like all major corpo apps.
i bought a cheap one off-brand , it has 5 different intensities and settings and you can program it yourself(how long each one last) and it has a countdown to see how long you have been brushing, it warns you if you brush less than 2 minutes. sadly this one is very cheap(teetheory) and no longer sold on amazon, likely due to trumps tariffs on china last year.
damn.
Its prolly got a camera that looks at your teeth so you no longer need to get a checkup. But thats also very intrusive, imo
Obvs, im being sarcastic
But it could happen 🪥🦷
smart toothbrush has too much datamining features, plus the more electronics it has the more it likely is an expensive mistake. i look at quite of few of the smart or expensive ones, and they commonly become defective quite readily.
geee
its the expensive bougie ones. oral-b has mutliple lines. oral-b 100-1500 line is your standard non-smart ones more durable. its only if you buy something higher than that which is 100-200$each like the IO series. if you for some reason want to only use IO replacement heads that is expensive too, always get off-market replacement heads.
sonic toothbrush apparently is a different company(sonicare).
i think i'm going to stick with my regular brush.
