I hate fucking electric toothbrushes. The technology hasn't improved since the 90s and I bet they probably cost the same back then if not less. Shit motor that costs a few pennies, shit battery that lasts about 6 minutes total, shit buzz at 2 mins that no one pays attention to. That's it. The designers must change the colours a bit every year but otherwise they've just fucking sat around doing nothing for decades.
A while ago I bought a new one because my old one was basically dead. The new one was weaker and shitter than the one it replaced. The old one had a blinky light so you could tell it was charging (wow, the fucking pinnacle of technology) and for the new one they couldn't spare the expense for that feature.
Now the new one's battery is on its way out. Why don't you fucking put in a replaceable battery you pricks? Oh because it would obliterate your entire fucking business and you'd have to actually improve your product to get people to buy it? Fair enough then, guess we'll just have to keep throwing them in the e-waste where they can be incinerated and some children in the third world can get a bit more lung cancer. Here's another £40, cheers.
