Review on Enhance Your Oral Care Routine with Crossaction Electric Toothbrush Replacement Refills by Mandy Johnson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

I don't like the black tax.

I have had several Oral-B electric toothbrushes over the years and a few weeks ago the battery in my Oral-B Triumph started to shake. I wouldn't normally notice it, but on a night drive I came home and found a dead toothbrush. Luckily for me, Revane got a lightning deal for the Oral-B Genius 8000, which is about the same level. Since my triumph was, I took it immediately. I thought the black model was cool and I chose this color. So. What's the difference between this replacement head and regular white cross-action heads? Well, they have black plastic, not white. And they cost twice as much. TWICE. AS. A LOT OF. At the time of this writing, two black heads are worth a dollar more than four white ones. same guy Same model. You pay a dollar MORE for half the price of a functionally identical item. If you look at the Genius 8000 product page, you'll see that even Oral-B decided to put white tips on the black model. I can't blame them. I don't invite strangers into my bathroom to look at my toothbrush. So while the tips themselves are fine (good enough given that I've been using them for 10+ years), there's absolutely nothing about them other than color. Normally I'd say, "Mmm, three stars I guess." But this is such an obvious scam that Oral-B should really be ashamed.
