I'm so sick of dinky shitty devices with garbage rechargeable batteries

you always have to manage a million different cables for each one, and they all suck. why can't we just use AAA batteries instead of these shitty lithium ones? it's so fucking frustrating. where can I find gadgets that work while plugged in, or at least don't need to be recharged every two fucking days?

To be fair, I've only ever used Braun (OralB) brushes. Philips is generally a pretty decent brand so I'm surprised their brushes suck.

That said, I'd not recommend the base-line OralB brushes. I had a OralB Vitality 100 a couple of years ago, which only cost me like $25 when I bought it. At some point decided to upgrade to a Oral-B Pro 3, which cost around $60 and the difference is night and day. Motor is much better, the pressure warning was helpful (I had no idea I pressed way too hard) and the battery lasts longer.

I seriously doubt that the ultra-expensive 3D imagery app-control AI bullshit that cost in the $2-300 is as big of an upgrade.

Philips used to be a pretty decent brand, it's gone down big time over the last decade. Ask me how I know.

How do you know?

That was rhetorical.

But since we're all gathered here... I used to buy a lot of their stuff, and, well, now I don't because they've gone to shit.
