why do some toothbrushes cost hundreds of dollars? What exactly are they doing that makes them so much better?

Question

You can get a manual toothbrush for $1 or some fancy electric toothbrush for over $200. Can it really be cleaning your teeth that much better?

I own a sonicare and I like to travel as light as possible on my motorcycle. But that damn electric toothbrush works so well that I just can’t go back to a manual brush. I travel with the electric everywhere. There is really no going back.

But you don’t need the $200 model. Buy one up from the cheap model. Never buy the cheapest model. The expensive models are just there to make the mid tier models seem like they are priced correctly.

Just like Logitech. I know a designer there. 90% of the r&d goes into the mid tier stuff. The high end stuff is actually shiny garbage. Buy the middle priced one.
