I am a huge fan of electric toothbrushes. Â Maybe I lack the motivation, but I can never get my teeth feeling as clean as they do with an electric toothbrush when I use a plain ole one.
But the problem with electric toothbrushes is that they are hard to travel with and they don’t take a travel beating well. Â They also lose their charge when traveling, and the bases are bulky.
My husband’s toothbrush died and mine is on its last legs. Â I bought him a new sparkly toothbrush that travels well and have been waiting for mine to die all the way before replacing it. Â (I’m traveling with a *gasp* manual toothbrush for now. Â Don’t tell my dentist.)
Turns out I should have waited to buy him his sparkly toothbrush because a two-piece set of the toothbrushes (Philips Sonicare EasyClean) are half-price with today’s Amazon Daily Deal. Â So basically, for the price of his, I could have gotten both of us toothbrushes.
They are by no means cheap, but they are a good price for what they are.  $99 for a two piece set.
This is what makes these guys great:
It folds up into an eyeglass sized case. The charger is tiny and the base is very slim-line compared to other Sonicare.
The brush portion of the tooth brush is more water tight than other models. Â The benefit of this is water doesn’t build up inside the toothbrush. Â This causes gross gunk and also a reserver of water (that you don’t realize is there) that decides to dump out at any moment.
The dentist thinks my husband is flossing. Â Haha! Â Take that, dentist!
It has two weeks of charge time if you didn’t want to bring your charger–but note, after about a year of use, this amount slowly diminishes.
Of course, you could get the super-fancy high-tech version for $170Â a piece, but I don’t think you actually need any of those extra features, unless you enjoy micromanaging your toothbrush.
But I think I convinced myself to get this. Â I’ll just call around family to see if anyone was looking to buy a toothbrush. Â Bueller? Â Bueller?
(no wonder my friends and family started screening my phone calls).
If you buy things through my Amazon links, I usually get a small referral credit. Â According to their T&Cs, I don’t get it for daily deals like this, but I cannot ultimately control the whims of the Amazon.com gods.
