Generic Electric Toothbrush Heads (Oral B)

Hi all,

Wondering if anyone's got reviews/recommendations on the generic Oral B electric toothbrush heads. I usually just buy the original ones when they're on sale, but in true Ozbargainer fashion, I'm wondering if you can get the same thing at a fraction of the price by going generic. I'm wary of ending up with hard bristles that end up damaging your gums for the sake of a few bucks, hence asking here.

There are a bunch on Amazon with fairly good reviews, but I trust my Ozbargain comrades more.

  • There are lot of manufacturers, and your mileage may vary. I feel that the bristles are 80% as good as the oral-b brushes, and the small price difference (generics vs. when oral-b is on special) isn't really worth sacrificing that extra quality over the years. Inserting the brush onto the base, where it vibrates from, is a little gummier than the higher-quality oral-b brushes, which is a small, niggling annoyance you need to deal with twice a day.

  • Kogan lasted 5 seconds each one. I stick with the originals. Having said that first one blew up the other week, after using them for 15 years.

  • The cheap one pretty much didn’t last for more than a week, where as original one last me a month at least.

    I think I saved little by going with the cheaper one, but generated more waste

  • I would avoid anything which claims "effective correction of deformed teeth…make you look more energetic".
    Seriously, who writes this stuff?

  • I had this (and don't get mixed up with Jamie Oliver), standard version is soft and feels nice for the kids and the adults, comes with the cap for each of them.
    So far so good can't complain.
