Quip's subscription service sends new brush heads and toothpaste every 3 months.
Oral-B claims its brushes use 48,800 movements per minute. Oral-B's brushes are a bit different than both Quip and Sonicare in that they pulse and also oscillate, mimicking the tooth polishing procedure you get during a cleaning at the dentist. Quip says it uses the industry standard and provides sufficient brush strokes to get your teeth clean. Quip's motor creates 15,000 brush strokes per minute, while Sonicare uses up to 62,000 brush movements per minute. Starting at $25, Quip is cheaper than popular alternatives from Sonicare (starting at $40), Oral-B (starting at $30) or Foreo (cheapest model is $50).īrushes from Quip and Sonicare both vibrate to remove plaque and food from your teeth - but the difference lies in how fast they move. How does Quip compare to Sonicare and Oral-B? But having used a brush that moves more quickly before Quip, I felt the need to scrub more to get the same clean feeling I get with my Oral-B.
#QUIP SMART TOOTHBRUSH MANUAL#
I slowly move the brush head around my mouth and targeting specific areas rather than the rapid back and forth motions I make with a manual brush. With all of the electric toothbrushes I've used before, I usually let the toothbrush do the hard work. The soft bristle clean well, but I found that the brush head was too big to reach all the corners of my mouth. I started testing out Quip before it launched a kid's version of its brush, which is specifically designed for kid's smaller mouths. A spin-head brush like those made by Oral-B can reach those rear areas with ease. Granted, I don't have a roomy mouth, but it's not particularly tiny either. I found it harder to reach some of the more cramped areas of my mouth (mostly around my upper molars) with the Quip brush head. My main complaint about using Quip is that the brush head is too large for my mouth (and a coworker agreed). It also has a built-in tongue scraper on the back of the brush head, which is a plus. I tried out the gold metal version of the brush, and it's the nicest-looking toothbrush I've ever had. It does a fine job of cleaning my teeth and is comfortable to use. It's also lighter than other electric models I've tried. It takes up significantly less room on my counter than my Oral-B brush, and frankly looks much better. That's not to say there's nothing I liked about it. To be honest, not much about the Quip brush I tried blew me away. I'll also admit that sometimes I don't want to go through the whole two-minute routine most electric options have, so I'll occasionally grab a manual brush and rush through the ordeal. In recent years, I've almost exclusively used electric toothbrushes, and have tried several different models - from a Sonicare to the Crest Spin Brush - over the course of my life.
