@Stallion These used to be super-super expensive. I remember just a few replacement brushes seemed to coast about $25.
The price is so good, I might buy another one to put beside the first one I don’t use.
It’s just me being lazy and using the ‘manual’ one from the Dentist.
I just haven’t convinced myself on the goth black one yet…it’s pretty cool sorta.
I got my kids these brushes sometime in the past. They’re holding up well. My kids still have some of their teeth. The batteries somehow seem to still function, even though I irresponsibly fail to store them in the refrigerator. I endorse this product.
Bought one @ $36 previously. It fixed the small complaints I had about the ‘Deluxe Plus’ model. Tempted to grab another to store for years until I run out of heads…
@PlacidPenguin You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - the most famous of which is “never get involved in a land war in Asia” - but only slightly less well-known is this: never assume that each purchaser only buys one item. A certain variable (but likely predictable based upon prior purchase patterns) distribution of buyers, will purchase more than one. This will affect the calculations significantly. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha…
@PlacidPenguin Meh controls the toothbrushes. They are released only upon the transfer of funds, much like ransom or indentured servitude. There is no free will among dental hygiene products.
@PlacidPenguin Is it not up to each and every sentient being to determine when and under what condition that being will store his/her/its batteries in the refrigerator? Do I not speak a universal truth?
@PlacidPenguin You may be onto something with this theory of yours. I’ll be eyeing my batteries a bit more suspiciously from now on. And I just put a padlock on my fridge. Just in case.
@PlacidPenguin Just because I’m paranoid doesn’t mean that my batteries aren’t really out to get me. I think an abundance of caution is the only prudent measure at this point. You have awakened me to a reality that I can no longer ignore. Vigilance!
@shahnm Of course now that you have locked them in the fridge you need to fear everything in there. Since nothing can leave you may have an uprising when you finally unlock the door.
@HELLOALICE Could be a different set of packaging, like the number of replacement brush heads? I was wary before I bought it last time it came up, but I looked up other models and aggregated the reviews.
And since I did buy it last time I can say I do really like it, well worth the price.
This is definitely a good toothbrush. Got it maybe two years ago and at that time it was called junt “Sonic”, so this must be a newer model. The best thing about it besides being a damn good toothbrush is that the charge lasts over three weeks making it great for traveling without a charger.
The one that I’ve had around a year has terrible battery life. Worked great at first. Went about three weeks without a charge. Now I have to charge it every couple of days. My bathroom is small so I don’t really have room for the charging base, otherwise I’d probably just leave it on there all the time.
The brush heads are not that easy to remove so I don’t bother with the uv.
@RiotDemon Refrigerator meme aside, Lithium ion batteries should never be allowed to go completely dead. Good news, most devices will stop the battery from draining completely but if you drained a battery then stored it dead close to dead, you probably killed the battery.
I have the old blue version, which has worked out well for me. But each time I use it, I am vexed with a question - for electronic blue toothbrushes, is it Bluetooth or Blueteeth?
This seems to be a good price for a generic, but my sonicare won’t die… even when constantly letting it go weeks between charges… it is like the engineers said “lets not skimp on the vehicle onto which people attach our $5 brush heads”.
Hi All,
Has anyone found any brush refills from other brands for your Pursonic toothbrush that fit, [we bought some of the BJ’s house brand for the name brand [?Sonicare], but I’m not sure if they’ll work] or failing that, a place to buy the Pursonic brushes at a reasonable price?
If not, please disregard this and feel free not to answer…
Thanks for your assistance,
PA

As of this moment, 34 of these have been sold. ALL of them have gone to Oregon. What’s the odds of that?

@shahnm
I wasn’t looking at purchasers.
I was looking at the probability of 34 sentient toothbrushes ending up in the same state.
Not that this would help now anyways. Also, keep in mind that order limits exist.
@PlacidPenguin Meh controls the toothbrushes. They are released only upon the transfer of funds, much like ransom or indentured servitude. There is no free will among dental hygiene products.
@shahnm
But do sentient life forms have that?
@PlacidPenguin Is it not up to each and every sentient being to determine when and under what condition that being will store his/her/its batteries in the refrigerator? Do I not speak a universal truth?
/8ball What say ye?
It is certain
@shahnm
Unless like the mice in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, batteries are sacrificing themselves to subtly experiment on you.
@PlacidPenguin You may be onto something with this theory of yours. I’ll be eyeing my batteries a bit more suspiciously from now on. And I just put a padlock on my fridge. Just in case.
@shahnm
But what if the batteries are testing paranoia?
@PlacidPenguin Just because I’m paranoid doesn’t mean that my batteries aren’t really out to get me. I think an abundance of caution is the only prudent measure at this point. You have awakened me to a reality that I can no longer ignore. Vigilance!
@PlacidPenguin (1/47)*(1/47)… You forgot to subtract Alabama.
@shahnm Of course now that you have locked them in the fridge you need to fear everything in there. Since nothing can leave you may have an uprising when you finally unlock the door.
ProTip: If you hold the base just right against your nether regions, you can eliminate those unsightly tan lines.

Poll: Will there be a poll tonight?
Nine amazon reviews? I am uneasy…why so few? Is this a new model?
@HELLOALICE Could be a different set of packaging, like the number of replacement brush heads? I was wary before I bought it last time it came up, but I looked up other models and aggregated the reviews.
And since I did buy it last time I can say I do really like it, well worth the price.
@HELLOALICE Yep it’s a new model that was born about a year ago. It’s the big brother to model S450 that has lesser strokes per min (30k vs. 40k) and a plastic brush-head adapter vs. metal.

Bought this last time and I love it. Solid buy
The darth Vader one looks cooler than the R2D2 one
No poll and the video is a rerun?
I was going to get more brush heads for my Sonicare, but I think I’ll give this a shot instead.

/giphy vile domineering spider
@shortman NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
I have the 20k model. Is 40k twice as good? Half as good? What?
@excarnate It’s definitely worth 20 more k. It’s got that going for it. Which is nice.
Can these brushes be used on actual Pearls (not just my pearly whites)? My wife has got lot of the Pacific kind now.

@rkwilcox So how do these compare to a Sonic screwdriver?
@mehcuda67 It depends on whether you’re comparing them to sonic screwdriver screwdrivers or sonic screwdriver sunglasses.
OK, but I was hoping for discounted flamethrowers tonight (refurbished, and with Bluetooth) as the hottest trend.

I like the brush besides that.

Bought two of the previous model. Both work great. Never use the UV Sanitizer but occasionally like to look at the blue light.
Bought the Deluxe Plus back in 16. Liked it so well, went ahead and bought this one the last time it came up.
Don’t like it at all. The head does not make contact with my teeth nearly as well as the Deluxe. Went back to the Deluxe. Wasted $39 on this model.

I bought one of these last year. It works great. The vibrating brush tickles at first, but you’ll get used to it.
I bought these the last time. I really love it. Great buy if you’re thinking of getting one.

@PhysAssist They’re half the cost of the unit itself.
I’ve never seen others advertised to fit
