Icon

Question trying to pick a budget pink electric toothbrush and would love advice. 7AM2M - cheap, extra heads, very amazon-core. AquaSonic Icon - slimmer/cuter and more minimal, which i like. MySmile DY156 - pastel pink, classic long-head sonic vibe, very basic in a good way. COSLUS - more practical than aesthetic, but seems solid for daily use. Fairywill - classic budget option, lots of value-pack vibes. i’m not trying to buy anything super fancy, i just want something that works for everyday brushing, has decent battery life, and doesn’t look ugly on the counter. if you’ve tried any of these, which one would you go for?

yeah honestly i really like the simple/minimal look of the mysmile dy156. the aquasonic design is sooo good too, so i’ll probably keep looking at those two for now.

OMG bae i am SO incredibly sorry, when i first clicked the link yesterday i somehow got hit with a random p\*rn ad pop-up and completely panicked! 😭 i just checked it again today and saw the actual toothbrush pic. you are honestly the sweetest angel for offering this and i am so touched by your generosity. again, i feel so awful for the confusion and my reaction, thank you so much for being so kind! 💕

pretty much between AquaSonic and Fairywill rn. me only hesitation with the Icon is the handle/head color combo feels a little visually off to me? still thinking on it, but your take was really helpful.

I use oral b at home and aquasonic for travel! I can't deal with the manual toothbrushes ! It is only 20 bucks and lasts about a month on a charge ! https://www.aquasonic.com/products/icon-rechargeable-power-toothbrush

I had the same conundrum. I use an Oral B at home but couldn’t find a travel sized spin brush. I ended up buying an Aquasonic Icon because they are small. I’d say it’s way better than manual but likely not as good as a full sized Philips. (Can’t say because I have never used one.)

AquaSonic Icon is probably your best mix of looks and decent performance. Fairywill is fine but feels more generic 7AM2M works but very hit or miss If you care about how it looks on the counter I’d go AquaSonic and call it a day.

I've gone through a few electric toothbrushes over the years so I'll share what I've learned the hard way. Right now I use an AquaSonic and my wife uses the Oral-B round clean. Both work great but the difference in battery life is real. I charge mine maybe twice a month, overnight each time. My wife charges hers three or four times a month. That doesn't sound like a big deal until you travel and forget the charger. The AquaSonic just lasts longer between charges and that's been a bigger quality of life thing than I expected. To answer the actual question, yes it's a frugal investment. But not because of the toothbrush itself. It's the replacement heads. That's where the real cost adds up over time. The name brand Oral-B heads are expensive. The AquaSonic heads are way cheaper per pack. So when you're comparing toothbrushes, stop looking at the upfront price and start looking at what the heads cost for a year. That's your actual recurring expense. The dentist in this thread is right that entry level is fine. You don't need the $300 model with six modes you'll never use. Get something in the $30 to $50 range with cheap replacement heads and you're set. The money you save on not needing fillings and deep cleanings pays for itself pretty fast. One thing nobody here mentioned. Wait for a sale. These things go on deep discount during Prime Day and Black Friday every year. I've seen the Oral-B models drop 40 to 50 percent. No reason to pay full price.
