What electric toothbrushes do you guys use? (lemm.ee)

I've been thinking about upgrading my electric toothbrush since my current crappy one is basically on death's door after a couple years of use. Is there like a toothbrush equivalent of a Toyota Hilux I should know about?

I've had a Phillips Sonicare for years with no complaints.

I do have one complaint, the price of brush heads. Top notch performance otherwise.

Generics exist.

The generics I've tried all work but noticably worse. The quality of the bristles is different and it doesn't leave the same clean feeling. The price of the genuine replacements is stupid and they keep increasing it, but I've given up on finding a good quality generic one and just pay the price. They don't need replacing that often anyway.

If anyone does know of a good quality C2 compatible replacement please do let me know though.

Same here, I feel as though I see the Oral-B heads on sale at least once a month, but the Sonicare heads are almost never on sale. Years ago I noticed the Philips Sonicare site running sales around Black Friday, but there haven't been any for the last couple of Black Fridays.

Every now and again I'll see discounted heads on Amazon, but I've also heard stories that there is a 50/50 chance of getting a knock-off that won't work with handles - as Amazon combines all of their products for storage regardless of the seller

Yup, base model, $30 or so sonicate gives that "fresh from the dentist" clean
