Quip toothbrush reviews 20186/28/2023 The analog timer worked surprisingly well with our testers, who found the falling sand mesmerizing, but in the humid bathroom environment, the sand had a habit of getting stuck.Dental hygiene is ever more important as we age. The Brusheez comes as a set, with a bulky brush stand and attached sand timer (the brush itself doesn’t have a built-in timer). We found that the Quip and Sonicare brush heads attached more securely, because you have to physically jam the brush head onto the brush body. Additionally, if you attach the head but forget to give it a quarter turn, it can pop off easily. To attach and detach it, you give the brush head a quarter turn, but it was easy to accidentally turn the brush head while using it, which frees the head to pop off. The Brusheez brush head can also pop off easily. But our 3-year-old tester managed to break the brush head completely during normal use (it’s likely she bit down slightly on the head, which is “normal use” for that age). The Brusheez Kid’s Electronic Toothbrush Set, which runs on two AA batteries, hit many of the marks: It’s smaller than an adult brush and comes with a kid-sized rotating brush head that worked well for our young testers. And even if you prefer to purchase brush heads à la carte and pay $10 for shipping, as long as you buy at least three at a time, the cost per brush head is still less than that of the Sonicare (and it drops further the more brush heads you buy at once). One Wirecutter staffer, whose two kids use Quip toothbrushes, said that signing up to receive new brush heads every three months has been a convenient way to remember to replace them in a timely manner. If you want to purchase a replacement head without subscribing, you’ll pay $5 per brush head, plus $10 flat-rate shipping-objectively not a good deal unless you buy in bulk. Quip incentivizes signing up for a “refill plan” to automatically receive a new brush head every three months: The subscription costs $5, ships for free, and includes a new AAA battery. While standard (adult-sized) replacement Quip brush heads are now available in some stores, the only way to obtain replacement heads for the Quip Kids is by ordering from the company’s website. But we think this is a worthwhile trade-off, especially for an introductory toothbrush with powered assist. The Quip Kids brush runs on replaceable batteries, instead of recharging on a base unit. We also like that the Quip Kids comes in simple, solid colors, which we think give the brush wider appeal than those that come only in limited character or cartoon themes. The built-in, two-minute timer helps with encouraging kids to brush for the amount of time recommended by leading dental associations. The Quip Kids toothbrush is also one of the most affordable electric toothbrushes we tested (replacement brush heads are about $5 apiece, if you sign up to receive a new brush head every three months). This is the quietest, lightest, and-importantly-gentlest brush we’ve tested, and it impressed our kid testers, who had various levels of experience with using an electric toothbrush. These make it easier for young kids (or adults) to manipulate the brush and reach small spaces in the back of the mouth. The AAA-battery-operated, vibrating Quip Kids toothbrush has the primary features our experts said a children’s brush needs: a smaller brush head and handle.
