@gellman Got the last one (same model I think - I’m too lazy to get up and check) and the battery life is really good. I don’t even keep it plugged in. As for travel and planes, I have no idea…
I got the S450-SR from a previous deal. Overall I like it, it seems to do as good of a job as my sonic Panasonic did.
My only two annoyances with it are the button and the modes. The button blends in too much with the surrounding area, so if you slide your finger off while brushing, it can be tricky to find it again. The other thing I don’t like are the modes. Primarily that you can’t set a mode and just turn the brush on/off with different buttons (like my Panasonic did). Instead, you have to find the button, tap a few times to cycle through all of the modes and then turn it off. Unless you click too fast and start all over again.
Still…rather minor annoyances and the brushing part works well. Would buy again
I’ve had two of these fail on me. After a couple months they just stopped turning on.
Philips Sonicare Essence is $20 on amazon, albeit with only one head. Thing is the Pursonics never lasted me long enough to use more than two of the heads.
@Neechy I too thought about the Philips Sonicare Essence but since it’d cost $60 (Philips 6pk of heads $20ea) for the toothbrush & equal amount of brush heads as the Pursonic, Pursonic wins my biz.
@PantHeist Don’t keep it plugged in. It has a CdS battery and they do not respond well to frequent partial charges, they need to be run down almost flat and recharged. I’ve been using one of these for a year now.
I’m trying to buy this but suddenly my billing address keeps failing. Is this the universe telling me not to buy it? No matter what I do, it thinks I don’t live here. Even though I do.
@lera Good to see I wasn’t the only one having that problem. I contacted Meh and they tried to tell me my bank had my address wrong. Yup. Must be that although I’ve had this address for over 10 years.
If it can’t take precise scientific measurements, open doors, translate alien languages, and/or fix electronics, this is not the Sonic I am looking for.
Heretofore unknown property: the box says it ‘helps remove plaque and whitem’ your teeth. Now we know why buyers got a good deal. Can’t wait to see the result.

Strokes
@Stallion If you’re in the game,
then stroke is the word.
@mike808 They lost me at The Official Billy Squire Channel.
Brush off tonight meh ?
I’m just glad to see it isn’t refurbished.
A sonic toothbrush! Can I return it if it doesn’t make noise?
@thechinglish It’s not a sonic toothbrush, it’s an electric toothbrush with ‘sonic’ in its name. Doesn’t hold a candle to a real sonic toothbrush.
Weirdly black toothbrush.
Evocative of tooth decay?
@KDemo I thought the black looked weird too. Kind of a creepy color for a toothbrush. There should have been a purple option.
@heartny - Probably the same one Irk and Glen use.
How the battery life? Travel? Brush on the plane?
@gellman Charter member of the 'Mile-high Brush Club" here.
@gellman It’s slightly worse in all those aspects than Nissan Leaf.
@gellman Got the last one (same model I think - I’m too lazy to get up and check) and the battery life is really good. I don’t even keep it plugged in. As for travel and planes, I have no idea…
@gellman Mine goes for about a month before it needs recharging. Of course I only use it brush my teeth.
#BlackBrushesMatter
What?! No purple? Big disappointment

@compunaut Shirley, you can’t be serious?
@mike808 I am serious, and don’t call me Shirley.
@compunaut We need a Purplesonic S420
we needed new toothbrushes anyway, couldn’t get that many manual ones from the supermarket for 18 bucks

4 out of 5 Doctor Who’s recommend a sonic toothbrush.
@mehcuda67 I want to say it should be Doctors Who but then everyone would ask “doctors who what?” so maybe not.
Eh, I’ll bite (and with Pursonic’s help, I’ll keep biting).
The spares may last the rest of my life. In for one. That last gif, however, deserves some kind of award.
When I see “420”, Mercedes-Benz is not the thing that comes to mind.
I needed a toothbrush so I bought this looks like it doesn’t have a speaker though.
Is it Bluetooth? Or is it Blueteeth? And does it double as a super insulated bubbacup to keep my soup hot and my beer cold? If so I’m in!

Just as my VMP memebership cancels you get me. I’m back baby. VMP. And I got black and blue. Go figure.
@dwvirginia Just so you know, if you cancel your vmp after feb 28 you can’t get it back.
@PantHeist how come?
@shanebird dunno, to maximize @snapster’s income?
We don’t use “over” very often in the airline field
How volt ??
@minkikim STEVE HOLT!

@Neechy looking at amazon reviews the warranty service is good, so not too worried. If it lasts my wife and me a year then it was worth 18 bucks.
@PantHeist Don’t keep it plugged in. It has a CdS battery and they do not respond well to frequent partial charges, they need to be run down almost flat and recharged. I’ve been using one of these for a year now.
@cranky1950 I never would have known that and had planned on charging it every night- thanks for the heads up.
Does this offer support 220volts?
220, 221 - Whatever it takes.
We’re going to try this out for brushing the dogs teeth- so in for one…
/buy color red
@accumulator Sorry, this deal contains 3 unique items and I’m not sure which one you want. Try ordering from the checkout page.
Ok, Be that way. I’ll do it myself.

Bought one tge last round…works satisfactory. Price after shipping is only a couple do)ars better than next best.
I’m trying to buy this but suddenly my billing address keeps failing. Is this the universe telling me not to buy it? No matter what I do, it thinks I don’t live here. Even though I do.
@lera Good to see I wasn’t the only one having that problem. I contacted Meh and they tried to tell me my bank had my address wrong. Yup. Must be that although I’ve had this address for over 10 years.
Is this the one that made someone’s dentist think they hadn’t been brushing at all?
Bought one of the earlier sales - terrible knock-off.
Skip this - and buy a real Sonicare on sale.
If it can’t take precise scientific measurements, open doors, translate alien languages, and/or fix electronics, this is not the Sonic I am looking for.
@Freyjassong It probably can’t run really fast, eat chili dogs, or destroy a robotic overlord, either.
31,000 strokes per minute…sounds like a happy ending to me…

I have a love-hate relationship with Meh… The damn counter drives me nuts… I love it and I hate it. fuck…I love you but fuck you Meh.
No purchases in Mississippi?
@atannir they clearly don’t brush their teeth
@thekenya That would be tooth.
Got mine today
