Great electric toothbrush

February 6, 2018

This is a great toothbrush for the price. This is comparable to my $100 electric oral-b. I like that it has 5 different cleaning modes. The unit also has 2 timers, one for 30 seconds to tell you when to change areas of mouth and one 2 minute timer to say when you are done. Most toothbrushes at this price range only have 2 minute timer. The unit looks great and is well made.
Comes with 2 extra heads, manual and USB cord. Only downside is only comes with USB cord, but no wall charger. Also USB plus is in bottom of unit, so toothbrush must be laid down to charge it. Toothbrush seems to charge quickly and battery has done great so far.

Pros:
Well made
Good battery
Comes with 2 extra heads
30 second and 2 minute timer

Cons: Minor
No usb wall charger, bought one off amazon for $5

Caused Major Mouth Damage!!

November 21, 2018

My husband and I both tried this brush. It was to rough for my comfort but my husband felt it was fine. Fast forward two weeks to our routine dentist cleanings. I get a rave checkup my gums look better everything is awesome(I ended up going with Oral B)My husband goes to his appt and walks away with a $30 bottle of mouth cleanser b/c the brush damaged his gums at the tooth line so bad he has an infection! Use caution if you buy this brush!

Superb toothbrush!

October 28, 2018

Color: 507 BlackVerified Purchase

I've been a heavy coffee drinker and smoker for 40 years. I do take care of my teeth but there were some brownish looking areas inbetween teeth and a general "not so white" look. Well I finally quit smoking a month ago and decided it was time to clean up my act even further. Had an older Electric toothbrush that was finally failing. Did not want to spend a lot of money to "try" out something else so I bought this. WOW! After my first brushing with this it felt as if I had got a cleaning at the dentist. Long story short... brushing each day with this and using the little crevice brush head they include, 3 weeks later there is an ENORMOUS positive change in my teeth. After seeing my results, my wife, daughter and son-in-law all bought one for themselves.

Color: 507 BlackVerified Purchase

I purchased this toothbrush because it was cheap. I used it for 3 weeks without a problem but when it needed charging it wouldn't charge. I tried different plugs & left it plugged in overnight. But no charge. I requested a refund on Amazon & the company wrote me & sent me a new toothbrush that I received yesterday. I am very pleased that the company backs it's products because it doesn't happen too often in today's world. I will update how the toothbrush functions after I use it for awhile.

Very impressed

August 14, 2018

Color: 507 BlackVerified Purchase

I bought this toothbrush mainly for my daughter because it had variable speeds and my wife sonic toothbrush is too intense for her, To my surprise this is an excellent toothbrush, I have thousands of dollars worth of dental work done to my mouth and I am unable to use the Sonic type toothbrushes. Most are too strong and I run the risk of loosening dental work but with this toothbrush on sensitive I am actually able to use it myself, so in return I have confiscated it for my own and will have to order my daughter the pink one as soon as possible. if you're looking for a Sonic style toothbrush and do not want to spend $100 this is well worth the money, I never thought I could buy a toothbrush of this quality for the price that we paid. Three thumbs up

I love it. I can afford to buy new heads ...

July 12, 2018

Color: 508 BlackVerified Purchase

It does not have the power of my older Sonicare but surprisingly gets between my teeth more clean. I have noticed my gums are growing back where reseeded and almost nothing pulled out while flossing compared to before. It is smaller handle and lighter weight too. I love it. I can afford to buy new heads more often too. I even purchased one for my wife and she likes hers.

Great Brush! Great Price

February 9, 2018

Color: 507 BlackVerified Purchase

My daughter's dentist recommended we get her an electric toothbrush and this one is perfect. It has a 2 minute timer that forces her to brush until the timer goes off. You have no idea how long 2 minutes are until you are waiting for your child to finish brushing. The toothbrush came with 3 brush heads and a special gift attachment that my daughter insists works like floss. There are 5 modes and one button. The button toggles through the light up modes so you know which one you are on. The modes are: White ,clean, sensitive, polish, massage.

The brush comes with a USB charger cord. It took 4 hours to charge but it says it will hold the charge for 30 days. I will let you know. We have a USB wall adapter but this may be annoying for others.

Pros:
I love the colors. Blue and black is one of my favorite color combinations.
Timer feature
Quick charge
Additional toothbrush heads
Great price point

Cons:
USB charging

We will be ordering additional toothbrush heads so the whole family can use this brush

Unit is great, and ultra-great for the price.

May 21, 2019

Color: 508 BlackVerified Purchase

Unit is great, and ultra-great for the price.

The toothbrush, at this point, (6 weeks of using it daily and heavily),
seems quite amazing and ESPECIALLY for
1. the price and then the additional
2. small profile and
3. usb charging, meaning it's
4. EASILY portable and can be taken,
easily, on camping or backpacking trips. (the charge seems to last a long time so, while
i'm not reading the specs right now, on significant trips one would not need to recharge and
then a simple small power supply like used for one's iphone etc. would work, or obviously
a small solar charger).

I am used to the highly regarded and National Institute of Health tested,
Philips Sonicare which I've used since they were introduced. So that's my base
of comparison.

The one thing I would be curious about is any "peer reviewed articles", simply meaning
scientific reviews done on this unit, as I believe the NIH (National Institute of Health, a government
organization) in fact as comparative scientific studies they've done on the Philips Sonicare and other
competitors.

Therefore, the one thing I cannot speak about is if the unit is super healthy over long use, as opposed
to being too abrasive, or too soft, or some other variable. Please note: I'm just mentioning it
doesn't have the benefit of decades of clinical testing. There is NO reason to assume it is too abrasive
(they provide extra brush heads including a soft version, "free" meaning part of the price of the unit,
whereas buying extra brush heads for a Sonicare can be as expensive as the unit itself, (their
entry level unit).

In the meantime though, and because I am often very poor, this unit has SAVED THE DAY!

Also, should I get another Sonicare, this unit can then be both a back up for camping or traveling (hotel use etc.),
or the body cleaned and sanitized with alcohol or hydrogen peroxide,
and the (amazingly generously provided) extra brush heads (or one of them),
can be put on the toothbrush and it makes a great "Guest Toothbrush" should one have a guest who forgot
their toothbrush.

In all cases I love the unit, it was/is a "life saver" or a "tooth saver", as my Sonicare had finally died of old age,
🙂 and I did not have enough to buy a new one.

Thanks so much!
Rory White.

It seems to work well

September 20, 2018

Color: 507Black with CaseVerified Purchase

Well I'm not a dentist so I can't say if this removes plaque or not. But the brush head seems to vibrate very fast. It charges easily and the charge will last for quite a well before it needs to be charged again.

It feels a lot lighter compared to the other elec toothbrushes I've had. The only complaint, and it's pretty minor, is that it doesn't come with a wall plug. It uses one of those USB to electric outlet blocks - the ones your cell phone typically comes with. I've already got several of them laying around the house from old cell phones and kindles, so it wasn't a big deal for me.

Loved the brush however ...

July 21, 2018

Color: 507 BlackVerified Purchase

Giving 4 stars because I ordered a pink and a black for myself and my husband and they sent me 2 pinks... but you can't beat the price. I love all the settings and my mouth and teeth felt very clean once I added this brush to my oral care routine. So yeah, other than the second pink brush I am very happy. Hubby said he doesn't care he will use a pink one but I think I will just re-order a black one and gift the second pink to my mom. Going to keep using the brush and give an update later.

Update: I've used this product for roughly 2 weeks and at first I liked it but now I am not impressed. I wanted to try an inexpensive electric brush however now this brush seems very mediocre, at best. The brush head is small and only vibrates so coverage is limited. It does have multiple setting yet they don't really do anything different from each other, the vibration patterns just changes a bit. So yeah, it isn't the best but if you're looking for a cheap electric brush you might be happy with this one.
