Decent electric toothbrush

L[Deactivated] on 25/11/2013 - 10:03

Hi guys,

Anyone know where to get a decent electric toothbrush? Im looking to invest in something that will last & does a good job.

Are they on special anywhere, or should I just go into a woolworths or coles and grab one?

Good guys ebay shop has a Braun model for $40. My dentist suggested there wasn't much difference in effectiveness between the different models, but said battery powered ones tend to fail from moisture in the battery compartment, so he favoured rechargeable ones.
EDIT: $31, not $40: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ORAL-B-VITALITYPC-Vitality-Precis…

This one at Harvey Norman is an excellent buy IMHO: http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/124167

Have a few friends that are dentists and they recommend the oral-b ones. But not from the supermarket, as they apparently have cheaper batteries and the battery doesn't tend to last very long. I have one and barely runs through one cycle (been using it for a year. Only cost me $30). Time to go buy a new one.

Considered the Colgate A1500? this is the one I'm leaning towards. $100 at chemist warehouse & shaver shop (50% off)
