These (type 4729) seem very dear online. I can almost buy a new brush *and* charger for the price of a single charger! Why? Where can I get just the charger, reasonably?

>>Where can I get just the charger, reasonably?
Fleabay ? S/H ?
There is one there NOW !
After all you are not putting the charger in your mouth :-)
|
Dim question, perhaps! Is it still under warranty?
|
Are you sure it is the charger that has packed up and not the brush battery itself?? I've just had a look for that charger and can't find it in stock. Where have you seen it? Mine uses the same charger.
|
My experience is that it's the batteries in the brushes that fail; the chargers are bombproof.
|
In Boots you can now get toothbrushes that don't need chargers or batteries and only cost a couple of quid. Come in a range of colours too. You can take them anywhere. Isn't modern technology wonderful. :-)
|
Apple are bringing a range out called iTeeth...!
|
Are they blue tooth enabled?
|
Give them a miss. I understand they are a job(s) lot.

I have some of these for "backup". They are a good deal better than nothing, but not as good as a reasonable electric brush.
I think F. Flintstone had a car without a motor. Hm.

"you can now get toothbrushes that don't need chargers or batteries and only cost a couple of quid"
For not much more, you can get throwaway ones with a motor and battery. Same principle as the vibrator and surprisingly effective...

Yes.

Only similar ones at £20-ish. I am surprised that I can buy the same brush *and* charger as I've got now for about £2 more.

How do you know?

Got a 4728 charger surplus to requirment - any use ?
|
I am unsure. I blew up a 4729. I will check. Thank you for your kind thought.
