Reddit mentions of Oral B Oral-B Pro 2000 Crossaction Electric Rechargeable Toothbrush Powered

Yes and no.

There are two ways to show a discount. One is against the "RRP", and the other is against a previous selling price. To show a 'discount' against the latter, the item has to have been on sale at the higher price for at least 28 days (plus some other minor conditions).

But what you don't have to show is that the item may have been cheaper than the sale price previously.

Take this electric toothbrush on Amazon. It's currently advertised at £29.98 - a 63% discount on an RRP of £80.

But look at the price history. Firstly, the most that said toothbrush has been sold on Amazon for is £69.99, not £80, and that was back in 2014. Secondly, it was actually cheaper than today's Black Friday price for a period in late 2016 to early 2017.

In other words, it's not a bargain in any sense of the word. It hasn't been worth anywhere near the RRP for four years.

My thoughts were that the battery would be larger on the razor, but the difference in charge is massive so seems strange to me.

Good point about the toothbrush being stored on the charger, I don't have a power outlet in my bathroom, so I have to charge in the bedroom so only charge it when it's getting low. Also it was my understanding that if something is constantly on charge it affects the battery life over time. Maybe this isn't the case with newer devices.

I brush twice a day and my toothbrush is 18 months old, this is the one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Oral-B-PRO-2000-CrossAction-Rechargeable/dp/B00K2U5XFK/ref=sr_1_7_s_it?s=drugstore&ie=UTF8&qid=1520268119&sr=1-7&keywords=oral+b
