Comment on Oral-B bricking Alexa toothbrush is cautionary tale against buzzy tech
TheOakTree@beehaw.org 6 months agoI just wanted to point out that Oral B’s basic electric toothbrushes still range from $45-$80, so it’s not quite as cheap as you say it is. Your point still stands in its entirety. The only thing that makes this product different from the $45 model is the Alexa functionality, and taking that away makes it effectively not the same product.

Oral-B electric toothbrushes start at 10€ over here — the model with just one speed and only one brush included, that works with 2xAA batteries. I use mine with rechargeable AA and honestly I’ve forgotten when I got it. Could be 10 years.
