    I have one of those. My partner got a pair of them with a heavy discount and it is an excellent toothbrush

    I couldn’t tell you what it does differently i would need to download an app to see which is never gonna happen. I am using it as am bog standard electric brush and i cant be arsed to read the manual.

    Theres a small screen that will display how long you brushed that shows you an frowning face if you cut it short. Il leave it up to others to judge how useful that is for an adult.

    My dentist has no complaints and that is really the best i can ask so yeah its a great normal electronic toothbrush if you literally ignore the ai part of it.

      Oh yeah, I have the same one (or similar one in the range)! I got it because it charges faster than the non-ai version. Disregarding the digital gimmicks it is an excellent toothbrush, and I couldn’t tell you if the Bluetooth/AI make it better or worse because I literally can’t care about the connectivity protocols or data processing capabilities of a fucking toothbrush.

          Between my partner and me, 4 to 6 times a day. I need to charge it faster because I don’t have the charging base in the bathroom (UK houses don’t have plug sockets in the bathroom) and I often forget to charge. When that happens, I want to wait 5 minutes to brush my teeth, not 45.

            You and your partner share a toothbrush?

            Seems odd.

            But I’m not here to judge. Thanks for answering my question. I appreciate it.

                Oh. Alright. That would have been my follow up, but I was struggling to find the right way to word it, so I just resigned myself to not knowing.

                “Heads” is an interesting, but accurate, descriptor.

                I’m equally surprised you don’t have an outlet in the bathroom, but that’s a different discussion.

                The way you’re doing it is efficient at least, but if the mechanical part of the toothbrush fails, nobody gets to brush… Or you have to move it around yourself I suppose, like a caveman.

                Electric toothbrushes are a bit like escalators in that way. If it breaks, you can still walk up the stairs.

                  We have the old one as a backup!

                  Yeah the UK is funny with that. Some modern houses have shaver plugs, but most of them have nothing. Coming from another country myself, it feels quite awkward not having a plug socket for a hair dryer, shaver, hair straighteners (not that I use them but as an example), etc.
