Tech Thursdays - Crest Spinbrush Toothbrush

The toothbrush was great when I first got it. It had two speeds and made my teeth feel like I had just came from the dentist without the unnecessary pain. One part of the head rotates while the other moves up and down. About 3 months or so later, the battery died (the AA I put in). So, I recharged them and after a week or so, the battery died again. Eventually, it stopped working altogether. I tried recharging my batteries and even adding new ones and that didn't help.

I contacted the company, thinking I had a defective product. They sent me a coupon for a replacement. I ended up getting the Spinbrush one speed. After a few weeks it too stopped working. Well, it was useful and great while it lasted. I did learn a few things:

1. When buying an electric toothbrush, pay more for the plug-in variety. That way you won't spend more time and $$$ replacing the batteries.

2. Make sure to brush close to the gums. It's easy to forget that.

3. If all else fails, go back to your manual brush. You'll have more control, it'll last at least 6 months, and you'll invest only a few bucks (unless you get one free from your dentist) :)
