Are these just absolute junk or have I just been unlucky once again?
This is the third unit I’ve had and it’s only three months old and has mechanically failed - it’s just what’s needed on holiday - reverted to plan B Ie a toothbrush from the supermarket
Oral B when I’m home!

So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with.

As a (retired!) dentist, Oral B every time. I even have to buy my own now
I think about 99% of dentists use them.

That says it all - thanks
I have an ancient Oral B somewhere at home I might resurrect - or probably buy new.
Are there any features I should look out for? I don’t want to be mugged by advertisements again!

Oral B vote from me but they don't seem to last forever and drain fairly quickly. My wife's one is the same but seems to stay charged longer.
Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.

I suspect that is because women just hold the brush still and carry on talking. Same job but no charge needed.

Not really, the more expensive ones have more fancy bells and whistles but the basic ones do the same job for a lot less. The early ones suffered from "memory effect" on the rechargeable cells inside, hence the lack of holding charge after a few years use, which seems to be less of a problem with the newer models.
I do feel the urge to share this though:

I had a Sonicare for years and seemed OK, never really gave it much thought really, it carried on until the shaft started over vibrating and went loose

I would think most men would prefer oral to sonic.
Either or for the ladies.
