    Great price, which replacement brush heads suit this?

  • How long do,the batteries last and what batteries does it use?

  • How is Amazon able to sell these stuffs so cheap compared to Woolies/Priceline?

    • +9

      Their business model is to take a loss early on, push competitors out of the market and then raise prices and control the market. So they just sell stuff below cost in some cases to get more users, once they've got you, you are more inclined to buy from them again.

      • +1

        And screwing err negotiating suppliers too.

      • But barriers to entry to online sales is not too high? It’ll be easy for new entrants to clock some good ratings and reviews and start competing once they see amazon raising prices?

        • +2

          Barriers on entry aren't too high, but shipping costs are, and Amazon is becoming a logistics company and not just a retail company. Once they master the logistics game, other retails won't be able to keep up.

          • @doweyy: Can’t you outsource the logistics? The discounts are way too steep to compensate for what they’re getting in temporary market share…

            • +2

              @donamique: Outsource to who? Amazon are pioneering so many things in logistics that nobody will be able to match. Their warehouses will soon be borderline sentient with cameras handling the data. It’s ridiculous.

              • @AaronR: What’re aliexpress, taobao and eBay doing in response? Not sure about big name online shopping portals in other countries, maybe someones who do can chime in…

                Also feels like no technology is truly proprietary these days…if you’ve got the moolah, you’ll sooner or later get the tech.

            • +1

              @donamique: Yeah but once you bring logistics in house, it reduces your costs considering you're not paying a middle man costs for delivery. I agree, they're being super aggressive, but in the U.S it's now becoming more known what their endgame is, and prices have already gone up and they've put companies out of business because of how aggressive they are.

              They also use it as R&D costs because they use our data for other services. All of their devices are loss leaders to get your data.

              • @doweyy: I’m unfamiliar with this hence the questions - is eBay plus comparably similar in concept at all?

                My data is floating around in cyberspace and up for grabs I’m sure of, even without amazon. Could I say the same about most people alive in this golden age of times? :)

      • I don’t doubt they wish they could indeed do that. But pricing competitors out of the market isn’t a “business model”: it’s what EVERY retailer is trying to do. And the vast majority of them fail at it. They have PLENTY of competition. As much as fearmongers want us to worry about the worst; the so-called amazon monopoly isn’t likely to happen. Especially against colesworth? You seriously think the entire market is going to move to online sales?

      Supermarkets have larger mark ups. Amazon has less staff to pay and less rent to pay as they have no retail outlets.

      By trading the miseries of their overextended workers for our discounts and Bezo's ballooning heap of wealth.

      • And his ex-missus.

      • I’ve friends working for amazon and they have great work culture/flexibility and travel to Seattle lots and love their jobs…hmmm…

        • +2

          Depends on their rank in the hierarchy. If they’re in marketing or responsible for expansion, probably smothered in gold.

          • @00: Artificial intelligence. Software engineering. Which ones are the “lower hierarchy” jobs?

            • +1

              @donamique: the dispensable ones that don’t require bachelor degrees

              • @00: So it’s an occupation/education level issue rather than a company issue?

                • +1

                  @donamique: It is a company issue. There have been numerous articles on their extremely high share of labour hire, the issues that entails, and the workplace conditions.

                  Now I do enjoy a good bargain from Amazon from time to time, and even buying regular priced items with the convenience of their shipping, but I’d like to see a more equitable approach to the workers.

                  • @jwh: Hear hear.

                    Would you say the same about Uber in terms of reported workplace conditions? Yet we continue taking Uber rides?

                • @donamique:

                  So it’s an occupation/education level issue rather than a company issue?

                  No it's a company issue, and also a broader social issue.

                  IMO not having an "education" should not be an automatic pass for others to ruthlessly exploit you. Your opinion may be different - if so then IMO you are part of the issue too.

                  • @fantombloo: I’m more of an egalitarian nut.

                    But it’s a social phenomenon. Are you saying that the rest of the world is exploiting lower educated individuals and amazon is doing the same, so it’s a social issue and also an amazon specific issue because they’re not doing it differently?

                    Another disclaimer: no shares in amazon and don’t plan to work there in this life.

                    • +1

                      @donamique: Amazon is just doing it with great efficacy. Just like McDonalds are often the scorn of fast food critics when there is so much more out there. Their size and reach makes them convenient targets for criticism.

                      I'm convinced most businesses these days would look up to Amazon rather than scrutinise the way their workers feel. It's just the onset of late stage capitalism.

                      • @fantombloo: Haha late stage? I'm curious what happens after late stage?

    • They’re powered by the tears and last gasps of air from dying unicorns.

      Gives a short summary of how they operate.

      • omg that is so good. Can I upvote you a few more times?

  • Happy to try for this price. Another use for my Prime membership and my hoarded eneloops.

    • Do you have AAA eneloops though?

      • Just checked the cupboard, still plenty in the smaller box marked Eneloops AAA :)

    New heads are $13.75 for 2 on Amazon.

  • I saw them at the reject shop on Sunday for $10.

  • So why would one pay $100+ for say phillips or oral-B electronic toohbrush and not this $10? What is the $100 difference bring?

    • if it saves you $80 in doctors bills long term, it's worth the difference.

      I've seen the difference, it's worth it.

      I got this for when travelling.

  • I would prefer 250+ from the previous deal ($12.99? with a dock), but I think it is worth buying knowing that the head costs about $7 each.
    Thank you op. bought two.
