electric toothbrush

A Steradent tablet in a glass of water at the side of the bed cleans my teeth just lubbly!

when new a decent electric toothbrush should hold enough charge to last 2 - 4 weeks so either a new brush or a new battery for it are required

Electric toothbrushes are much better than ordinary ones , For some things I won't mention here for some people.
get a small invert:scared:er.

If you check with the manufacturers I think you'll find a full charge is sufficient for one week's use of the recommended 2 minute brushing.
 
Colgate A1500 with USB charger

I've been doing some research as I really miss my electric toothbrush when travelling. Yes, I'm sure the Philips Sonicare does a good job, comes with a neat travel case and can be charged by USB, but the £250 (discounted to £124.99) price tag is a joke. At least as highly rated is the Colgate A1500, which also comes with a travel case and can be charged using USB. The recommended price is £189.99, but Amazon sell it for £60 and at Boots it's £64.99.

Adapter and invertor

Low power invertor will do
You can get an adapter which has a standard 13amp plug and a 2 pin socket.

I tried a "normal battery" powered tooth brush so I could change batteries but it failed as did a replacement.
No much good anyway rechargeable "Braun" are good.

Both are rechargeable via USB and come with a travel case, both of which which are real bonus for travelling. At £60 the Colgate one is under half the price of the Philips model, and looks like it's one of the best electric toothbrushes on the market, regardless of price. There are plenty of mains only rechargeable models which cost more than £60.
 
sonicair black

Now I'm in 2 minds replying to this ,but, I have a sonicair black edition which actually charges in a drinking glass by some kind of electro magnetic field, the science of which escapes me, BUT, in addition, you get with it a travelling case which ALSO charges the toothbrush again with no visible connection AND it can plug into a USB socket like the one on a laptop. The reason for my reluctance in posting is the cost, it was £160. So, now I'm awaiting the reaction of those who will use the "more money than sense" argument against it. I might add that I've used electric toothbrushes for years but as an old guy still with a few teeth left this was the best £160 I've ever spent, it has settings for gum conditioning and a few others and it really does help when you have/had receding gums.

I absolutely need electric brush if I am not to lose teeth. There are a number of sonicairs on amazon... would you kindly send me a model number so I can research this a bit more... thanks

Buying a decent electric toothbrush makes perfect sense to me; it's an investment. However, there's now a choice of top quality makes to choose from, and I think the Colgate A1500 offers the best value if bought from Amazon.

I can second the vote on Sonicare brushes. They have made a fantastic difference to me, I suffer in the gum department.
They are also fab for cleaning round the taps in the bathroom & diamond & emerald rings come up like new when cleaned with an old sonicare & nothing but water.
