Because it was 2 bucks cheaper than the black electric toothbrush.

    YSK it’s super easy to just swap the battery on those. Mine was down to dying every 2-3 days. Got a new battery for 25 bucks, they’re easy to find.

    The bottom of the charging base acts as the ‘screwdriver’ of the bottom of the brush. There are videos easy to find online too. Now it lasts 10 days again easily

    The manual says that when the battery dies you have to trash the toothbrush. That’s false and misleading. If you open it, inside there’s a simple rechargeable AA battery.

    I love not to let capitalism win over me (at the least I don’t want to trash something that works)

      Looked it up, and you’re right. That’s hilariously stupid, but great to know! Thanks :)

    I have this model of toothbrush and it is by far the worst toothbrush I have ever used, electric or not, in all of my life, hands down.

    I hope you brush your teeth in the shower because the toothpaste is not going to stay in your mouth.
