Don’t fall for the aesthetics of a toothbrush

By Jaclyn DeSantis, Ojai, CA, Verified Reviewer

I have gum issues so my dentist told me I should get a Sonicare or vibrating toothbrush to help massage and stimulate my gums. All of the ones she recommended came large, bulky, and were unattractive units that would take up half my bathroom counter space.

Thanks to social media algorithms spying on my shopping, an advertisement for Quip promptly popped up on Instagram. I was immediately drawn to the aesthetics and compactness of this design. As many other reviewers have already stated, these are the only positive things about this toothbrush. What a complete WASTE of money and plastic. The toothbrush doesn’t even vibrate, it simply makes a vibrating noise. I think I even do a poorer job of brushing because of the way the toothbrush is designed.

Not much else to say except for it’s such a total waste that I felt compelled to warn others.

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

Hi Jaclyn!

As your dentist will tell you, the effectiveness of any toothbrush comes down to how it is used, not the features it has. Dentists recommend electric toothbrushes because they help people brush better (softer, longer, with better technique) not because their movements magically negate the need for good brushing (as the ads want you to believe).

Quip uses the same nylon bristles, motor, sensitive sonic mode of vibration, and even manufactured with other popular leading brands in the industry. There will be no difference in the way your Quip itself brushes your teeth. The core thing that affects your oral health is how you use a toothbrush, diet, and genetics.

Unfortunately, there are many dangerous misconceptions in oral care that we are trying to correct, such as the idea that whether a toothbrush is manual, gently vibrating, vigorously vibrating or rotating toothbrush is what effects your oral health. If they are all being used correctly (and have soft bristles), they will all "clean" perfectly, we just designed quip to help the entire brushing routine and technique for a better clean.

We cannot speak to personal preference. The best brush for you is most often the one you enjoy most, we are sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your Quip.

Thanks for giving Quip a try!

Amazing toothbrush!

By Yosra Krucinski, Long Island City, NY, Verified Reviewer

I absolutely love my Quip. It takes all the guesswork out of trying to remember if I had brushed long enough and when I should buy a new brush head. It’s not only sleek and beautiful, but it makes brushing easy peasy. How great is a subscription-based toothbrush?! My family is hooked as well, and we’ve had our electric Quips for well over a year. Best part, no cavities for me during this past dentist visit! Love!

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

A gadget

By S.I., New York, Verified Reviewer

It’s as bad as it is beautiful. When I turned it on, I really wondered if there was something wrong with my toothbrush. So I made some more research online, and I understood that the vibrations are just naturally extremely weak.

I don’t buy the Quip team answers according to which it’s not about power but how you use it. Quip doesn’t have much more power than a manual one. So you would need to use your Quip like a manual one to expect any result.

I’m still baffled that some people/magazines gave a good review. It just doesn’t make any sense. It looks like an Apple toothbrush but feels like a Dollar shop one.

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

Hi S.I

Just like on our website, and our help team has told you (and your dentist will tell you too), the effectiveness of any toothbrush comes down to how it is used, not the features it has.

Quip uses the same nylon bristles, motor, and even manufacturer as other popular leading brands in the industry, so there will be no difference in the way your Quip itself brushes your teeth. The core thing that affects your oral health is how you use a toothbrush, diet, and genetics.

Unfortunately, there are many dangerous misconceptions in oral care that we are trying to correct, such as the idea that whether a toothbrush is manual, gently vibrating, vigorously vibrating or rotating toothbrush is what effects your oral health. If they are all being used correctly (and have soft bristles), they will all "clean" perfectly.

The truth is, all toothbrushes should be used in almost exactly the same way, gently brushing tooth by tooth, focusing on the gum line area, making sure to cover the whole mouth. Unfortunately, many believe that manual brushes should be used with "big, strong, sweeping, brushing motions" and electric brushes "don't need to be wiggled around at all." It is these misconceptions that can cause big issues, alongside the other major issues that most people are not brushing twice a day, for two minutes, or change brush heads when they are worn out.

Of course, we cannot speak to personal preference. The best brush for you is one that encourages you to brush 2 times a day, for a full 2 minutes.

Thanks for giving Quip a try!

Do not buy this silly toothbrush

By Cindy Warner, Chandler, AZ, Verified Reviewer

The Quip is attractive, but that's where the positives stop. My husband and I burst into laughter when we turned one on for the first time. This is in no way an electric toothbrush. It is simply a manual toothbrush that makes a light buzzing sound. If you use an electric toothbrush, you will be terribly disappointed with the Quip. We were actually puzzled as to why they would market this to people who use electric toothbrushes.

I sent ours back immediately and was given a refund minus a restocking fee. I'm happily back to my non-sexy but super effective $8 Arm & Hammer Spinbrush.

Don't be fooled by the hype.

We thank you for giving Quip a try, and keep up the good brushing!

Better brushing

By Cheri Deardorff, Arizona, Verified Reviewer

I love my Quip Toothbrush for two reasons; when you are still sleep-groggy in the morning, it takes the guesswork out of how long you have brushed. I also use the timed intervals to do some mindfulness practice. A great way to start my day, then at night, I do my next day's work plan.

Awesome toothbrush

By Shaina Rodriguez, Brooklyn, NY, Verified Reviewer

My husband and I have had our Quips for over a year and couldn’t be happier. They take up minimal space (love that they can stick to tile!), work great (dentist said my teeth have never been cleaner), and their subscription program makes sure you’re not using an old, nasty brush head past its expiration date. Love Quip!

Worst toothbrush ever

By Erwin Razer, San Francisco, CA, Verified Reviewer

The toothbrush a) doesn't brush well, b) breaks really quickly, and c) naturally gets really disgusting since there are so many hard to wash silly components. I paid for a whole year and cancelled my subscription before the year was up because I couldn't stand using the product for a day longer.

Save your money and get another toothbrush. After I canceled, they kept charging me for a few more months, and when I figured that out, they refused to refund me. Awful experience.

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

Hi Erwin!

We can't find an account or support ticket under your name, so please do email help@getquip.com

We are so sorry to hear you did not enjoy your Quip. As we mention in our materials, and your dentist will tell you, the key to maintaining good oral health is solely based on your technique and routine. (A brush cannot "brush well instead not being able to be "used well". We designed Quip to help people brush better). This is a misconception we are trying to correct, and our dental team will be happy to expand further, should you have any questions.

We can assure Quip does not break easily, as we cover all Quips for the life of their plan, and for the first year of having your Quip even if without a plan. (We have hundreds of thousands of happy customers for 3 years). Our team at help@getquip.com are always happy to help out with any trouble you are experiencing.

Quip's design is the most seamless on the market, specifically designed to repel water/toothpaste and stop it building up. We will also be keen to hear which part you are mentioning is getting dirty, so we can see why and how this is happening to help.

The only way for a refill order to generate in our system is if there is an active refill plan in your account. A refill confirmation email is always sent out as soon as a refill has been generated to allow for any cancellations before it is shipped out, and you can cancel a refill at any time in your profile area, or again by emailing help@getquip.com

We are so sorry if any of this information was missed, and thank you for giving Quip a try!

Great toothbrush. Painless refills.

By Alex F, Brooklyn, NY, Verified Reviewer

I never spent much time thinking about toothbrushes before, until I got the Quip electric set as a gift. I am hooked. It looks great, and everything I need shows up at my door regularly so I never have to run to the Bodega before work because I have run out of toothpaste again! Also, the replacement heads work out to cost less than the disposable brushes I used to get, so that's neat too.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Quip is a terrible toothbrush

By RE, New York, Verified Reviewer

I purchased the basic $25 Quip Toothbrush as a travel toothbrush. It is no better than a manual toothbrush. It vibrates, but it is not clear that the vibrations do anything in terms of cleaning. The one benefit over a manual toothbrush is that it has a timer, but really, you can count out the four 30 second periods yourself. It is quite attractive and has a nice looking case, but I can't wait to get home and use my regular cordless electric toothbrush. I can already feel the plaque starting to build up again over just a few days.

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

This sucks and I can't get a refund!

By Troy Porter, North Carolina, Verified Reviewer

I got a Quip Toothbrush for Christmas and was completely disappointed with the whole thing. I asked for a refund, but because it was ordered for me more than 30 days prior to my receiving it, that was denied. So what you have is a company that refuses to stand behind its' product and refuses to acknowledge that the product is inferior.

Do you want a Quip? I'll give you the cheaper, and perhaps better, solution: buy a cheap little vibrator from Amazon (of course they sell them), and tape a regular toothbrush to it. Voila! You have a Quip for less than 10 bucks.

Don't say you weren't warned.

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

Hi Troy!

As your dentist and the ADA will tell you, the best brush for your teeth comes down to personal preference (which you enjoy the most), not what vibration frequency a brand chooses to set their brush. (We chose ours because research showed us that it was the power that people enjoyed the most.)

So we are sorry to hear that Quip was not to your liking. Quip's bought during Christmas (from the end of November) are subject to extended returns through the end of January, so please do reach out if you are looking to return!

The "doesn't clean, leaves plaque" toothbrush

By Gail Ash, Red Bank, NJ, Verified Reviewer

My daughter and I were excited to try this unique toothbrush, so we went all in and bought two, along with the auto-refill. Very quickly we saw a film form on our teeth that was not there before using Quip. We had to floss before and after each time we brushed with this toothbrush as it did not remove most food.

The day after a cleaning at the dentist, the film was back. Our teeth never felt clean! The dental hygienist was not happy with the state of our teeth or gums. Two days later the film was back on our teeth, so we stopped using Quip and bought a Sonicare. Two weeks later, no film and no food between our teeth.

I contacted Quip, and all they did was cite their "benefits." They did not seem to care that their toothbrush did not clean.

The bottom line is, Quip does not clean teeth well!

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

Hi Gail,

We are sorry to hear about your recent dental visit. We hope that your dentist and dental hygienist mentioned that the effectiveness of any toothbrush comes down to how it is used, not the features it has.

It is these misconceptions that can, in rare cases, people decline (or improve!) their oral health when they are changing brushes, and it sounds like for some reason the Quip toothbrush changed your technique for the worse. We are sorry to hear this, especially as we designed quip to change people's technique and understanding of oral care for the better!

As we always say, we cannot speak about personal preference because the best brush for you is one that encourages you to brush 2 times a day, for a full 2 minutes.

We thank you for giving Quip a try.
