What is the lifespan of an electric toothbrush?

Why isnt my electric toothbrush working?
How Can I Identify an Electric Toothbrush Problem? If the appliance doesn’t work at all, make sure the power is on at the outlet, then test the electrical cord and battery recharger with a multimeter and replace the cord or charger if needed. If the unit still doesn’t work, clean the charger post.
How often should I change my toothbrush head?

Are Oral-B battery toothbrushes good?
Best Value Battery Operated Toothbrush I have been using the Oral-B Complete Battery Toothbrush for about 10 years now and just replaced it with a new one.

Is it worth buying electric toothbrush?
A review of studies showed that, in general, electric toothbrushes do decrease more plaque and gingivitis than manual toothbrushes. After three months of use, plaque was reduced by 21 percent and gingivitis by 11 percent. Oscillating (rotating) toothbrushes seem to work better than just vibrating toothbrushes.
