Fucking hell, if I spent $230 on a goddamn toothbrush, I'd expect that thing to last me for a lifetime.
No toothbrush will last a lifetime, so maybe don't put $320 in it
Unfortunately, there are many plastic toothbrushes that are lasting lifetimes in our landfills. Once I learned that, I switched to eco-friendly ones. There just isn't a need for a smart/ai toothbrush, IMO.
