Electric toothbrushes....any recommendations (or other thoughts)

I've bought 3 cheap ones in the last 5 years. Fairywill I think, 12 quid each. They do an excellent job but the battery starts to not hold a charge after about 6 months. I now have to charge it every week, so you get what you pay for I guess

I have an Oral B for about ten years now. I've been very happy with it I am starting to find that battery life is starting to decrease now.

Something I am thinking about.
I called in my local pharmacy. They only have one and its 50 QUID 😳.
TBH I've not googled it yet....just interested in your thoughts.

I've got the very basic one from Oral B - battery powered and it's been brilliant, lasts for ages (perhaps I don't brush for long enough!)

The " Sliced Bread " series did an episode on toothbrushes, well worth a listen.

+1 for the Fairywill toothbrushes, Mrs W bought me one about 2 years ago and it was still giving sterling service until I decided to break it by trying to twist the brush head off in the wrong direction Never had any battery problems with mine though, one charge seemed to last for ages.
Now replaced it with a 'Seago' toothbrush from Amazon as I couldn't find any Fairywill brushes on there, although it looks very similar to the Fairywill and takes the same brushes:

If this one lasts as long as the previous I'll be very happy. One other advantage is the the brush heads are reasonably priced, unlike the old Braun toothbrush that I had beforehand!

I purchased a " middle of Lidl " toothbrush several years ago and it's been excellent. They come back on sale every so often and I stock up on replacement heads when they do.

I got a battary water flosser after a mouth op and still use it.

That was the one I got. Mine also packed in after about 6 months and wouldn't charge at all.

I've been using an Oracare electric from Sainsbury's for about a year now. At £15 (£12 nectar price) it seems very good value. Reliable and holds a charge well (about 12 days I think).
