Nice design...if it worked.

By Matt Miller, New York City, NY, Verified Reviewer

I was very pleased with this toothbrush when it first arrived. I like the design, and it worked well, for a couple of days. (I will add that the first thing I did was remove the annoying "sticky strip" on the case, it's really annoying if you don't intend to stick your toothbrush to the wall.)

SO, the brush stopped working after about three days. The motor shuts off after about 3-5 seconds. Incredibly annoying. I contacted Quip customer service, and share the opinion of so many other reviewers, that they are TERRIBLE. I was told I had to register my brush online before they could help me. After doing so, they simply sent me an email with instructions for checking the motor and doing some self-repair and replacing the battery. Not sure why they couldn't send it before I registered?

None of their suggested fixes worked. All I want is a toothbrush that works. I just contacted Bespoke Post (where I bought the brush) to see if they'll take it back, as I was sorely disappointed with Quip's customer service team. I'm also not down with "subscription plans" and Quip holding onto my credit card information indefinitely. Also, I'd replace my brush head probably every six weeks instead of every three months, but that's just me. I don't know if they'll sell you brush heads up front, as I never got that far before Quip became an annoyance instead of a pleasure.

Too bad, it really does look nice!

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Expensive for what you get

By Patrica Beach, Fayetteville, NY, Verified Reviewer

I like the sleek design of the brush, but after using it for a couple of months, I think my manual toothbrush does just as good a job, if not better. You're paying a lot of money for a manual toothbrush that vibrates to tell you when to move to another part of your mouth. I wish I would have saved my money!

We are sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy your Quip!

The truth is, as the American Dental Association and Consumer Reports say that any electric toothbrush will clean your teeth, exactly the same way if you're brushing your teeth properly. That's why we created Quip, to help guide habits in that matter. Quip has earned the American Dental Association Seal of Acceptance for safety and efficacy in removing plaque and gingivitis, so there will be no difference in the way that Quip brushes your teeth vs another manual or electric toothbrush if you're brushing properly. We also use dentist-recommended, industry standard soft nylon bristles and the same sensitive vibrations as many other electric toothbrushes to provide a thorough, yet non-damaging clean that's still gentle on the gums. With the addition of a 2-minute timer and 30-second pulses, with brush heads delivered on a recommended basis, Quip is guiding the good habits that really matter.

That being said, we cannot speak to personal preference. The best brush for you should be one that encourages 2-full minutes of brushing twice every day whether that be a manual or a different electric toothbrush.

We thank you for giving Quip a try!

Don't waste your money

By Bob W., Virginia, Verified Reviewer

I was looking for a small ultrasonic toothbrush for travel. I use the Sonicare at home, but it's too big for travel, so I came across Quip. Seemed like a good, simple product.

Then I received it...As another reviewer said, it does little more than make noise. I thought that maybe the battery was very weak, although it was brand new, but no, I put a new battery in it and same poor (non-existent) performance. You can BARELY feel any vibrations in the handle, and none in the brush head AT ALL. And from what I can gather from Quip, you're supposed to use it in the same manner as a manual toothbrush. What? What's the point of it then?

I think they are able to claim that it works just as well as any other because, well, they tell you to brush just like you would with a manual toothbrush. That's NOT how my Sonicare works, and I've used a Sonicare for about 20 years, and my dentist is very happy with my cleaning regimen.

Save your money. All you're getting is a slick manual brush with a timer. I'm going to try and return it, but I'm not hopeful.

Just like with other electric (and manual) brushes, we advise using good technique with Quip’s sonic electric toothbrush. You must still gently and slowly “brush” the bristles on the inside, outside and top surfaces of each tooth in small 2-3 tooth sections at a time making sure to carefully clean around the gum line. This may not be how some other product companies advise using their products, but it is what dental professionals and the ADA recommend, however, if you check your Sonicare handbook, you will notice they also advise the same (gently brushing each tooth one at a time) even with their products.

That being said, we cannot speak to personal preference. The best brush for you should be one that encourages 2-full minutes of brushing twice every day whether that be a manual or a different electric toothbrush.

We thank you for giving Quip a try!

Quip - OK product, terrible customer service

By Andrew K., Oklahoma, Verified Reviewer

Quip toothbrushes are an OK product. However, their customer service is atrocious, and I would not recommend using their service unless you want headaches!

I rate companies based on how they treat customers. If they are unwilling to fix small errors for small amounts of money (in my case an error of $5), then I have no faith they will fix larger errors without issue or resolve a problem when it arises in the future. In other words, $5 is meaningless to me except for what it says about the company overall who was unwilling to "make it right" for me as well as their advertising partner. This leads me to believe they have more deeply rooted issues and cannot recommend them.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Garbage

By Who C., DC, Verified Reviewer

My Quip stopped working properly less than two weeks after starting usage. I replaced the battery probably four more times before I called it quits and e-mailed the company. They asked me to send it back via USPS. Who has time to go to the post office and wait in their ridiculous lines? They were at least nice enough to refund me $10 for the unused replacement heads or whatever.

It's a shoddily designed toothbrush, why the heck would you pay $50 for it when you can buy a Braun for much less that lasts MUCH longer.

We are sorry to hear that you experienced some trouble with your Quip!

Our team works hard to help with some at home troubleshooting and a quick photo request, we have found that we are able to help with addressing any issues that you are having with completing these steps. In the case that you would prefer not to send any photos to proceed with the appropriate replacement, we provide a USPS prepaid return label to send your Quip to our quality control team, we do take these matters very seriously, and it is crucial that our team tests any Quip that is not working as it should, to prevent the same issue from happening again.

The free USPS prepaid return label can be used at any USPS drop box, so there is no need to go to your postal office in order to send your package back for a replacement.

We apologize if there has been any misunderstanding, and we would be happy to help you further at help@getquip.com if you are interested in giving your Quip another try.

Not worth it! Return shipping not included!

By Nirav S., Seattle, WA, Verified Reviewer

I am a doctor and got the Quip because I thought it would be a good way to travel and brush my teeth similar to a Sonicare/Oral toothbrush.

I returned the brush after a day of use because the electric vibration really offers no added value of brushing your teeth by your hands.

We are sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy your Quip!

All toothbrushes, whether manual or electric, should still be used the same by using small tooth sized strokes. The truth is, as the American Dental Association and Consumer Reports say, any electric toothbrush will clean your teeth just the same if you're brushing your teeth properly. That's why we created Quip, to help guide the habits that matter. Quip has earned the American Dental Association Seal of Acceptance for safety and efficacy in removing plaque and gingivitis, so there will be no difference in the way that Quip brushes your teeth vs. another manual or electric toothbrush if you're brushing properly.

We also use dentist-recommended, industry standard, soft nylon bristles, and the same sensitive vibrations as many other electric toothbrushes, to provide a thorough, yet non-damaging clean, that's still gentle on the gums. With the addition of a 2-minute timer and 30-second pulses, the brush heads delivered on a recommended basis, Quip is guiding good habits that really matter.

We hope this explains why Quip vibrates the way it does. We thank you for giving us a try.

Not an electric toothbrush

By Tim P., Simpsonville, SC, Verified Reviewer

So my wife bought two and gave me one even though I use a Sonicare toothbrush. First, the Sonicare was recommended by my dentist and I have had great results over manual brushing. A lot less staining and overall cleaning. And then I tried the Quip but was shocked that is kind of hums, but the brushes do not move. I really don't see the point. If you are a manual user stick with that or get a Quip that has a timer function. If you want an electric toothbrush that works, try Sonicare.

Room for improvement for sure

By Nick C., Connecticut, Verified Reviewer

As far as the product, I have only had it for 30 days, so I will have to revisit this sight in 90 days and share my thoughts based on a meaningful time frame.

That aside, as far as referring others, let’s just say that will not happen until Quip addresses their customer service area.

A great product with poor customer service will not win in the long run. Further, you should review their return policy, it will tell you a lot as to how management feels about their product. Returns coupled with no attached shipping charge tells you they have faith and confidence in their product - returns where you have to pay for shipping, let’s just say in today’s internet shopping world and those sites I visit, I cannot remember when I had to pay for return shipping.

Now you may ask why I wanted to return a Quip order. Without getting into specifics let’s just say it has to do with the company's absurd referral program. Granted I may have made a mistake in terms of the referral process, which in the end would have cost them two brush heads (about $10), but in the end whoever reads this review may think twice before they click on the order button, and that may be only one person or it could very well be hundreds. If the later, well, customer service may have saved the company $10 today but who knows how many sales were lost based on my experience.

P.S. I suspect Quip may have someone on their staff write a counter review phrasing customer service, that said I suspect I am not alone and maybe others will post the same. Quip, you may want to give further thought as to the confidence you have in your product and if you believe it is the best on the market, your return policy should reflect the same. I will be back in 60 days with a product review.

We are sorry to hear you were not satisfied with your customer experience!

We completely stand by our product which is why we allow for you to try your Quip for 30 days, and if you find that it is not the right fit for you, our team can assist with a return and refund.

Fail to honor their guarantee

By Matthew H., United Kingdom, Verified Reviewer

I've used the the Quip toothbrush for over a year on their subscription service. A few weeks back it stopped working - a crack had opened up in the device.

They make a big thing of their lifetime guarantee but when I sent them pictures of the damage I had a really rude reply back saying it was my fault as the toothbrush has been tested and never breaks.

So they refused to replace it. Really shoddy service form a rubbish company.

Worst customer service ever!

By Anne O., St. Louis, MO, Verified Reviewer

I ordered a toothbrush off of the website with Quip. A free trial sample of the toothpaste was supposed to be included. My niece helped me place the order, so I’m not quite sure what website we were on, I assumed it was the Quip website.

I didn’t get the sample of toothpaste and I sent them a message and let them know. Many emails later they’ve decided that no samples be given. They would rather lose the business with the ongoing subscription for 2/3 then send a sample of toothpaste.

I don’t understand that they would rather lose a customer then send a sample of toothpaste. I have found similar products online, and I will be purchasing that and returning this.

They said back to me that they have never offered a free sample of toothpaste, and maybe that’s the case I am not quite sure, but after eight emails you would think that it would’ve just been easier to send a lousy sample. And keep a satisfied customer who would be buying their brush heads forever.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Hi Anne,

We apologize if there has been any misunderstanding while ordering. The only packages that will include a free travel toothpaste are the packages that include a large toothpaste as well. Any set that includes toothpaste will also be shown with these items in the store image. Clicking on the question mark next to any package will also include a full description of what is included on day one and in three months time (if ordering a plan). We hope this helps!

No customer service available, buyer beware!

By Kelly S., Cleveland, OH, Verified Reviewer

I bought this toothbrush and it was only OK. So I decided I would keep it just for travel. After three uses it quit working. I sent an email to help@getquip.com and never got a response. I sent 4-5 emails and never got a reply. I tried to call and no one answers their phone...you are directed to leave an email. I tried all of their extensions and the same "leave email" message is given. I doubt that I can get a refund as advertised.

Oh, and yes, I contacted them within the first week of receiving my toothbrush so well within the 30 days requires. BUYER BEWARE.
