I’m always paranoid about running out of battery mid-brush, so I plug mine in every night. But honestly, it seems to take forever—maybe 12 hours? Sometimes I wonder if I’m overcharging it... but my dentist said as long as the battery isn’t getting hot, it’s fine. The pressure sensor freaked me out at first too—I had no idea I was brushing like a maniac.
Mine takes ages too—like, I swear it’s charging longer than my phone. I started timing it once and gave up after 6 hours. Does anyone else get weird battery anxiety? Also, the pressure sensor... yeah, apparently I brush like I’m sanding wood.

Totally get that—my kid’s brush is the same. I swear it’s on the charger longer than it’s actually being used. Once, I forgot to plug it in and he had a meltdown thinking his teeth would “rot overnight.” The pressure sensor thing cracks me up too. My son thinks it’s a game to see how fast he can make it flash red... not sure that’s what the dentist had in mind.
My daughter actually times her brush on the charger—she once made a whole chart. Turns out hers needs about 12 hours for a full charge, but she swears it “feels weaker” if it’s not plugged in every night. Kids and their battery drama… I remember just using a regular brush and calling it a day.

Same here—manual brushes were so much less complicated. Now I’m always second-guessing if my electric one’s “charged enough” or just pretending to work at half power. Twelve hours seems wild though. Is there a difference between brands? Mine claims 8 hours but honestly, I can’t tell if it’s fully charged or just bluffing. Does anyone else notice their brush slowing down if they skip a night?
