Quest for Made in Americas daily products

Some bets on Tariffs, other on the power of the wallet. Ultimately, all want to ensure knowhow and jobs are remaining where next generation is building their families

Last night, the pile of toothbrushes was out for the first time since…. Covid? It was time to find the next brand. While the family is like America, split between Sonicare and Oral, both are offering made in China’s plastic heads.

Thanks to our AI search model, we were surprised to find one brand providing a Made in America toothbrush head. I know, even with toothbrushes, we can still find a way to play with some tech… Anyway, while no toasters are made locally, we would not have bet it was a done deal…

A quick check on the criteria and characteristics comparison with the mid-level entry model of Sonicare places it as a decent contendant.

So ultimately, we wondered what are the main differences? Most likely, it is the production region, China, or the USA. But Sonicare also adds fancy functionalities such as indicator bristles and smart BrushSync compatibility. Both are made to make us change the brush onetime, which is a revenue-generating function. Not sure customers should pay for that…

To conclude with a bright smile,
