$60 down the tubes.)Ĭancelled, and discarded the quap. I tried to return the brushes and cancel my order, and they said that since their crummy battery had run beyond the first 30 days ~ NO refund…!! (Ok. I called customer service, and they essentially said: “go out and buy another one.” REALLY ? The three-month battery is in the offer, and so this is an incomplete / inaccurate delivery, NO ? Then, 2 1/2 months into the 3-month period before the first replacements were to arrive, one battery died. (But still thought we should believe them ~ had invested $60.) My vibrating Gillette shaver does more to my teeth while shaving my face than this. Well, it wasn’t.!! This was more of a mild hand-massager than a tooth-whatever. The brushes arrived, and right off the bat, we thought they were not powerful enough to do anything, but were reading about how the company is having to convince users that the vibration is adequate, and one doesn’t really need more… yada, yada, yada… So: $60 for two., and then $10 every 3 months for replacements. To begin with, we could NOT find the $25 starter package. Very disappointing experience, both with the product and the Customer Service:īought these to replace our OralB Ultrasonic brushes, and thought the offer was very attractive: packaging, sticky-thingy, automatic replacements with battery, etc. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help!

#THE QUIP TOOTHBRUSH REVIEWS MANUAL#
The only features missing when you go with a manual toothbrush are the holder/travel cover and the 2-minute brushing timer. That means the quip toothbrush with one year of refills will cost you$40 – $50 more a year more than buying a 4 pack of manual toothbrushes for $5 at a local retail store. The starter set with the plastic handled version of the quip is priced at $25. You can save $5 if you prepay $55 up front for that first year. That works out to $60 for the first year.
The aluminum handled quip toothbrush starter set without the toothpaste costs $45 and then you’ll be billed $5 every three months to receive a replacement head. That’s much less than what you will pay for the quip toothbrush and one year of brush head refills.
You can go to Walgreens, Walmart, CVS, or one of many other stores and buy a manual toothbrush (with a small head and soft bristles – because that’s the best for your teeth and gums) in a pack of 4 toothbrushes for only $5 or so. But I do think the quip helped me brush longer than a manual toothbrush? Yes, the 30 seconds per quadrant pulsing feature really does help you do a more thorough job of cleaning your teeth and gums.īut here’s the thing. Final thoughtsĭo I think that the quip toothbrush cleaned my teeth better than a manual toothbrush? No, not really.
I normally use Sensodyne Pronamel toothpaste and found the quip toothpaste to have more grit than what I’m used to but the taste of the paste was just fine and it cleaned my teeth fine as well. I was also sent a tube of quip mint toothpaste. One thing I noticed about the quip’s aluminum handle is that it gets slippery after toothpaste and spit start running down your hand. After 2 minutes, the brush pulses twice and stops vibrating to let you know that the brushing session has ended. The vibration sensation might cause people to think that they can just hold the bristles against their teeth to clean them without actually moving the brush back and forth across their teeth and gums.Įven though the brush bristles don’t move, the vibration feature is useful because the toothbrush pulses every 30 seconds to prompt you to move to the next quadrant of your mouth.
