My toothbrush is as dumb as it comes. The only smart thing it does is charging itself when I put it in its charger base. And that should be the standard.

Why did you have to login in the first place? What's an "Oral-B brushing experience"?

It's the experience of a toothbrush collecting data about your daily routines to sell for profit.

No reason to even use electricity. A damp cloth and some baking soda works just as well!

We have recently gotten ourselves some SURI toothbrushes and they are eco friendly, repairable, the heads are recyclable/ biodegradable. They also give a better clean than my old oral b electric. Quieter too. Highly recommend.

Uh, looking that up, it really doesn't seem to be true.

You can use the Oral B with some electric brushes to see where you have brushed and where you haven't to help you with not missing anything.

I wonder if it's so you can get a calendar of usage tines. Could be handy to ensure kids are brushing for the right amount of time?

It's a data collection joke.

How repairable are we talking? Can the battery be replaced?

if you're not on your way to get a refund for that bullshit, then that's entirely on you and i have no sympathy
that shit exists because people keep fucking buying it
People keeping buying it because they don't know this shit exist. And once they already buy it... Hey, as long as it works....

Just kidding, I use home assistant and my oral-b toothbrush broadcasts using BLE, which Is capture using the oral-b integration. You don't need to be logged in.
I agree. It's super dumb to buy IOT toothbrushes that require you to be logged in. Luckily I'm not one of those people, so that doesn't apply to me. Phew..

Right? I buy only open-source wifi toothbrushes. Still waiting on the year of the Linux toothbrush, tbh

Oh god I hope this is sarcasm. I'm good with my old, dumb oral-b that does nothing but brush my fucking teeth.

Yup, you need to send it back to them but for a few quid (or included if you have their replacement head subscription) they will change the battery for you.

We should not be shaming the consumers, but educating them. The blame is on the companies for making such a terrible product in the first place, the consumer only found out how bad it was after. Sometimes, you can no longer return a product because its X days out of policy.
Not that I don't completely agree with your sentiment, but to make people start advocating for themselves, you have to make them see you are a friend, and the company is the enemy.
(not that the oop would ever see this post, comment or reply because who on twitter is also using lemmy, but you get it right?)
