If you can afford to spend over £100 on a Philips electric toothbrush from the “sonicare” line, should you?

Well, I’ve had mine for about six months now, and I’m impressed.

My dentist told me to get a decent electric one to cut down on gum recession, which it has, and the battery life is astonishing compared to the electric toothbrushes we had in the 1990s. Although they were decent enough to include two chargers in the box, I haven’t bothered to include the second one in my standard travel kit, because unless you’re away for a month or more, there’s just no need.
