Yeah, this is kind of on you.
If you spend your money on a "smart" toothbrush, expect it to do "smart" stuff.
they probably dont look all those reviews online about these, i got curious and most of them said they stopped working, or some part of the smart features becomes defective within a year.
anything above oral-b 1500 series, you are asking for it. 1500 and below you are just getting the standard rotating toothbrush with no smart gimmicks, and they last alot longer too. plus, oral-b makes thier money from the toothbrush heads, its every 3 months replacements, but the official replacements heads are expensive. if you are buying the IO series you will have to get those.
And soon with AI, smart things will get even smarter.
I have a "smart" toothbrush, I have never logged into it or connected to to anything but the charging block. It still has multiple modes and buzzes when I've been brushing a quadrant for 30 seconds.
So does my non-internet-connectable dumb electric toothbrush
Same, there's also an unofficial home assistant integration for mine, so I get my brush tracking without ever using the official app.
