I don’t know how, or why, but I’ve bought the same Phillips toothbrush for $20 from AliExpress when my original broke.

And I buy the heads from Asia too for a fraction of the store price.

The heads aren’t Phillips, just clones right? I would expect the brush you are buying to be a clone also, or at best a good knock off. Phillips is pretty disciplined about their pricing internationally.

I buy cloned heads (but not the main brushes) and find them completely adequate.

The base was legit (or a 3rd shift kinda thing?), but the heads are definitely generics.

Agreed, they work fine.

I’m very doubtful they were legit, anything labeled third shifts are almost always fakes. I can’t find any soniccare on alibaba (just a lot of clones), they have stuff on TMall, but all the prices are normal.
