Rechargeable, electronic toothbrushes are typically on the higher end of the price spectrum, and those that are reasonably priced often don't compare to more expensive versions in function and ergonomics. However, 4sight Inc. and Church & Dwight have teamed up to create the Sonic SpinBrush, a toothbrush comparable to higher-end versions but priced for budget-conscious consumers.
The Sonic SpinBrush will retail for below $30 and it will offer virtually the same benefits -- in style, function and ergonomics -- as more pricey electronic and rechargeable toothbrushes. The Sonic SpinBrush was designed with a cleaning head that oscillates from side to side and an overall lighter, slimmer design (in contrast to other electric brushes), which was the result of an extensive study on the part of 4sight to find out how consumers actually hold and use their toothbrushes.
