          Wow, why though? Why not just let the user change the batteries or charge them like normal electric toothbrushes?

          And why would you buy these instead of a normal re-usable one?

            I find the disposable ones are overall cheaper and the batteries last about as long as the brushes. Unless you are inclined to replace your head often as such people may be than they might be a better option.

            They are more like vibrating brushes and reality is quite simple in design. Less complex then the replaceable heads that have moving parts and seals etc. After using both, I find that work just as good and both are noticeably better than non electric brushes.

            In my experience the toothbrush handle and motor and batteries are fine to keep for years. The disposable part is only the head, the physical cleaning bits.

              Well that’s not really disposable then, that’s just a normal electric toothbrush.

              You have to replace the cleaning bits, no toothbrush head is good to use for more than like 2-3 months.

                You’re right, I totally agree. Sorry I misunderstood. I don’t have a clue why people would want an electric toothbrush that is also manual and must be thrown away soon.
