For me, it's an electric toothbrush. It doesn't matter if you go with Sonicare or Oral-B, once you start using an electric toothbrush, regular toothbrushes don't ever feel like they clean your teeth properly. The smooth plaque-free top layer of your teeth that you can feel after using an electric toothbrush can't be replicated with a regular toothbrush.

Not arguing, but I don't think I've ever even seen a plastic one. Mine has a plastic lid, but the inside is still sheet metal. I can't even imagine one with plastic parts that aren't just cosmetic. Plus they've got to adhere to some kind of safety regulations lest they be penalized by some federal agency. ๐Ÿค”

    Most (though not all) in the UK since at least the 90s are plastic except for the heating element and electronics, microplastic concerns aside they're considered more efficient since it's a better insulator. Regardless of material every home has one I can tell you that.
