    Suri.

    Metal, repairable construction, charge lasts months not days, vastly reduced plastic waste.

    The oral b and braun offers are just hunks of overpriced plastic that seem to be unchanged except gimmicks for the last 40 years.

      have been using a suri for half a year now. Awesome device. Doesn’t do anything useless like bluetooth or “smart” features. Just brushes teeth. And that perfectly well, while being super compact and with an enormous battery capacity.

      And it is not ridiculously expensive either.

      Are they repairable?

      I’d bought Suri’s after my Philips Sonic are broke and they said “we don’t fix them” after I emailed their support.

      My wife’s Suri stopped charging (just after the warranty) and they offered me . replacement for £25, if I sent the old one in for recycling, which is a good deal, but they didn’t make any offer of repair.

    Don’t buy Phillips. They’re awesome, clean better, but I owned two and both broke within 2 years.

    Oral b is more reliable.

    If you don’t mind buying them regularly though, Phillips

      That’s interesting. In my experience, Sonicare fared far better than Oral-B. Philips seems to have better design in that the the brush part that goes in your mouth is isolated from the motor fluids. I had OralB leak into the brush head because there is a hole for whatever reason. 🤮 Technically, my oral-B still works, but at that point I can no longer use it.

        Every oral b I had has lasted longer… For me, I always got the diamond clean as the charger is a glass.

        I have one of the IQ now. One thing that is bad though is that the app doesn’t connect and offer what it promised anymore

          I’ve heard bad things about the DiamondClean. I got one of the cheaper models and haven’t had any issues.

            I just assumed they were all f**ked lol… but, maybe it is just multiple bad diamond clean models

              I read reviews before I bought mine, and IIRC, early failure was a common complaint about the DiamondClean. I was interested in it because of the charging glasses, but decided to get a model with standard chargers instead.

                Yeah. That’s why I thought it wasn’t just me either

                The second time, I had thought the issue would have been resolved by that time though
