Great product, recommend to all my friends!

By Sara, Princeton, NJ, Verified Reviewer

I have been using my Quip Toothbrush for roughly 3 months now and couldn’t be happier! It was always hard for me to get behind my wisdom teeth, as typical brushes are just too big. Since using my Quip Toothbrush, I’m able to get behind my wisdom teeth with ease. My dentist was impressed when I went for my recent cleaning. He said my teeth and never looked better, and he plans to use it himself and recommend to his other patients. I recommend Quip to everyone!

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

A simple solution

By Matthew, Santa Monica, CA, Verified Reviewer

Simply put, for me, Quip is a very pleasant experience overall. The brush is so compact in comparison to other electrics, which makes it great for travel (I travel a lot). The brush head is replaced automatically when time (I always forget to do this). And it looks great in my bathroom (this is just a bonus). A really convenient service overall. I do recommend it.

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

I hate it!

By Amaline, Arkansas, Verified Reviewer

I was all excited by the promo. First time to try, the brush head stuck to the inside of my mouth. It was impossible to slide it down to a new position because it was pulling the inside skin of my mouth along with it. It stuck to my tongue when trying to brush the inside of my teeth. It needs to be easy to slide around.

I finally figured out it was that strange nubby rubber thing on the back of the brush head, later told by customer service it was a tongue cleaner. I tried to cut it off with a craft knife and it helped, but I can't get it all off. Maybe with an electric sander?

The #2 problem is how very difficult it is to push the on/off button, impossible to do with the brush inside my mouth. A 2-handed, multiple-attempt wrestling match every time, so suds are splattering all over the sink. I need to return it and cut my losses.

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

Absolutely terrible customer service and bad toothbrushes

By Jordan Fritzsche, Arizona, Verified Reviewer

I ordered their two brush and toothpaste set with a 50% off promo code. Throughout the order process, the discount was displayed, showing me 50% off. Instead of being $75, my total came to half off at $37.50. The toothbrushes came, and my credit card was charged the full $75.

I called to address this issue, but an automated service told me I had to email my question (while their phone number is available on their website, they have absolutely no over the phone customer service, they force you to send an email, so they do not have to directly deal with customer concerns). So I wrote and explained my issue. They acted like it was my fault that their website accepted what they said was an expired promo code. They told me it was not possible that their website accepted the promo code. Well, it was possible, I even supplied screenshots of the purchase process because they promo code continued to work for me. This discussion went back and worth, but they would admit to no fault at all. They didn't accept any blame and insisted that this was my problem.

So, in the end, I could only do a standard return, this meant that I could return the products, but they would deduct $10 from my return in order to cover their shipping costs. Despite my many objections, they insisted this was all they could do. Again, this was completely Quip's error, but I had to pay for it. They are a dirty company with the lowest quality of customer service. DO NOT give your money to Quip!

AND not only was the customer service experience terrible, but the toothbrushes were terrible! There is a reason you don't see more toothbrushes made out of thick and stiff silicone, it's just not good for teeth and gums! Dentists recommend soft and extra soft bristles because you don't want to hurt your mouth with something so abrasive!

Again DON'T BUY these toothbrushes! DON'T support Quip!

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

Hi Jordan,

We have communicated many times at this point and tried to help you out at every stage, so we are sorry if we are repeating ourselves here!

As you mentioned, the coupon you found online was only live and worked for about four hours on August 13th and your order was placed on October 9th, and thus, was expired.

We did not force you to pay $10 to return your Quip, that is simply the option of convenience if you prefer not to use your own postage. It looks like you have already returned your products and have been fully refunded. We are glad we were able to help out in the end.

Deplorable customer service

By Jolene, New York City, NY, Verified Reviewer

My Quip says "delivered," but it never arrived. Customer service is leaving the burden on me to find out what happened with USPS. I do not think it is my responsibility to file a complaint with the Post Office for a product that wasn’t delivered. Quip should be responsible for following up. After several emails with Quip, they have stopped responding. After waiting for a response and never receiving one after several emails, I had to put the charge in dispute with my credit card company. Very disappointed!

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

Hi Jolene,

As we have mentioned in other comments you have left, our team only suggests contacting neighbors and the post office as the first step, almost every time the package can be found there fast and efficiently. We did not ask for you to file a complaint or missing package with your postal office.

Our team had also replied to each of your emails within 24 hours during the weekdays. The only exception was replied to on a Sunday because we like to provide our members with a dedicated point of contact for you and your help agent was off on a Saturday.

We can see our team has already assisted with creating a reshipment order for you which was sent out via upgraded priority mail.

We again apologize for any trouble caused by your delivery. If you have any other questions, please email our team at help@getquip.com.

Sorry product

By Kathleen Maximuk, Maryland, Verified Reviewer

I'm so sorry I got sucked into this product. It sounded so nice online. Nice looking toothbrush, timely refills, stick it on a surface to have it handy. So sorry. This toothbrush does not clean my teeth. The bristles feel like plastic. I prefer the bristles on my Sonicare. After trying the brush for about a week, I had to follow up my brushing with my Sonicare. I wish I could get my money back, but I threw everything away.

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

Hi Kathleen,

We are so sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your Quip.

Quip uses the same soft DuPont nylon bristles and motor. They are manufactured next to other popular leading brands in the industry, so there will be no difference in the way your Quip brushes your teeth.

As you will read in our ads and website before buying, whether a toothbrush is "functional" really comes down to how you use it and whether the toothbrush functions help guide you to brush better. It's not what mode of vibrations you decide to turn your brush on. This information is also included in our welcome booklet after purchasing Quip.

The key to maintaining good oral health is solely based on your technique and routine. Electric brushes are recommended by dentists because they encourage and guide to better brushing. At Quip, we know that even making a small improvement to your habits will have a fundamentally larger effect on your oral health, than any change in movement or power.

As we always say, the best brush for you is one that encourages you to brush two times a day for two full minutes. You can read more about the true benefits of an electric brush on our blog at www.getquip.com/blog/toothbrush-design-story.

Thank you for giving Quip a try and we are sorry Quip wasn't for you!

What a waste

By Sarah, Boston, MA, Verified Reviewer

Hands down one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had, the brush surpassed by only their horrid customer service. They insist on using subpar shipping (DHL e-commerce), which is so bad they even warn you on their FAQ page. Every single refill says one was delayed and required follow up. Half the time the battery wouldn’t be included either. Every single time I was told to just wait longer.

The first brush stopped working after two months, the second after four. The brush heads would fall off every time I tried to brush. Instead of wasting my time contacting them yet again, I cut my losses and put them in the trash where they belonged.

I’m sure the default follow up here will be how my experience is not indicative of what they usually see along with some excuses, yet another shining example of their customer service; make excuses and hope the problem goes away. Well, in this case, they’re right, I’m gone and have no intention of wishing this brush on anyone.

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

Hi Sarah, we are so sorry to hear you had some trouble with your delivery. Unfortunately, we are unable to look into your case or account by just a first name. Would you mind emailing us with your last name so we can look into your case?

While DHL picks up the packages from our fulfillment center, USPS will be the ones to deliver your package. Unfortunately, we are not able to control delivery times as this will rely on the shipping partners directly. Free standard shipping is an estimate of 3-7 business days and we mark that very clearly at checkout for those that don't want free shipping and would prefer to get Quip faster. We offer priority and express mail too. In case your package does not show any movement past the seven business days, our team is always happy to help with a reshipment if needed.

Regarding the issues you were having with your Quip, it is very rare for one brush to fail, let alone two. (It sounds like you have read the other comments on this page and understand that twenty issues are too many. Out of hundreds of thousands of members, it is likely that there will be rare exceptions every now and again). We cover you for the life of your active refill plan and are always here to help with any issues you are experiencing.

If you are ever looking to give your Quip another try, our team are happy to help out.

Not what I was hoping for

By Megan Marrs, Massachusetts, Verified Reviewer

Quip's ads really won me over - this thing looked so sleek and stylish, and I needed a travel electric toothbrush for my extended trips abroad that didn't involve so many cords.

To be fair, it is certainly stylish. And the timer is great. However, the vibrations felt so light, I just didn't feel like my teeth were really getting clean. The power feels wimpy compared to my Sonicare.

I know with Sonicare they say not to manually move the brush around, just lightly glide it across your teeth while the brush pulses. I tried to figure out if maybe I was using Quip incorrectly - maybe with this model you are supposed to do more traditional tooth-brushing movements, but I couldn't find any info.

The design is also lacking once you look past the sleek looks. The rounded bottom means that this brush can't sit upright. However, the back of the brush has a raised tongue compressor, so if you try to set it down on the sink, it'll just roll over to the side.

The biggest issue is the vibrations though - I just can't get over feeling like my teeth aren't really as clean as they should be after using it. I still take it on overnights and small trips, but it definitely doesn't instill enough confidence to make it a fulltime toothbrush replacement.

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

We are so sorry to hear that !uip wasn't for you, this is exactly why we have a 30-day return policy as a toothbrush is a very personal object! You have read in our ads and website before buying, and our blog and welcome booklet after buying whether a toothbrush is "functional" really comes down to how you use it, not what the level of vibrations it has.

That is why Quip is deliberately set to a sensitive level of vibrations. You get all the benefits of an electric brush (fresher feeling, softer brushing, a timer and so on), without the downsides created by needless power (bigger brush, shorter battery life, large charging stand, uncomfortable in mouth feeling to many). With that said, we certainly cannot speak to personal preference. The best brush for you is one that encourages you to brush two times a day for two full minutes. You can read more on the true benefits of an electric brush on our blog at www.getquip.com/blog/toothbrush-design-story.

We hope this helps explain why Quip vibrates the way it does. As for the rounded bottom, we are sorry if this was also not clear. The brush comes with a stand that you can put on a side or stick to your mirror. You should never have to lay Quip down as that is unhygienic. With that said, it is designed to lay flat using bumps on the back of the brush head, so we are surprised to hear it did not.

We are sorry Quip wasn't suited as your daily brush and we hope you keep up the good brushing technique whichever power setting you set your brush!

Great when switching from manual!

By Aly Hastings, Nashville, TN, Verified Reviewer

I've always used a manual toothbrush because I felt that electric toothbrushes were too harsh on my teeth. Not only that, but I travel often for work, so electric brushes are too bulky to me. Quip solved both of those issues for me.

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

Unimpressed

By Rebekah Akins, San Luis Obispo, CA, Verified Reviewer

The short answer is, don’t waste your time. My teeth did not feel clean, and I returned it pretty promptly. For reference, I only bought it due to my electric toothbrush jumping off the counter and ceasing function.

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

Hi Rebekah,

We are so sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your QUip!

We can see that our help team has provided further information on some misconceptions regarding stronger vibrations equaling a better clean.

We choose to keep Quip on "sensitive" mode because the level of "buzz" your brush has is not what effects your oral health, it matters how well you brush. So we found that people (and their gums) often prefer a more gentle, comfortable and quiet brushing sensation. However, it all comes down to personal preference as the best brush for you is one that encourages you to brush two times a day, for a full two minutes using fresh soft bristles.

We hope this helps explain why we chose sensitive vibrations. We sorry to hear you didn't enjoy the Quip sensation and thank you for giving Quip a try!

Save your money

By Kelly E, Paris, France, Verified Reviewer

This product is all style and zero substance.

My husband and I ordered two toothbrushes for ourselves plus a year's worth of toothbrush heads (we put too much blind faith in this product and the filtered reviews that appear on its website).

Upon receipt, we followed the instructions to mount the holders, and both fell from the wall within days. On top of that, the bottom of the holder that you are meant to remove to drain it from time to time, also fell out multiple times. We've since installed totally new holders only to have them fall again. We don't even bother trying to use the bottoms because they just fall out and drop our toothbrushes into the sink.

Beyond the holder, the toothbrush itself is incredibly faulty. The head on my Quip Toothbrush would not attach to the base all the way and about a week in it just stopped working.

We contacted customer service, and they did not respond. We had to follow up again, and then they asked us to send detailed photos of the problem and acted as though they didn't know what was wrong and as if they hadn't had never encountered this problem before. After constant follow up from our end and useless photo taking, before agreeing to send a replacement, we had to send them a photo that showed we had cut the ring on the current base to prove we wouldn't use it again. I find this completely absurd.

First, your product breaks on me. I have to jump through hoops and follow up multiple times to get assistance. Then I have to prove to you that I won't be using your crap broken product again in order to get a replacement? Never mind the fact we'd thrown out our other toothbrushes, so I was using the Quip as a regular toothbrush for a month while I waited to get a replacement.

On top of this, I talked to the only other person who I know that also owns a Quip and she had the EXACT SAME PROBLEM with the brush. So I am 100% sure that this is a known issue with the Quip and rather than apologizing to me when I had the problem, they made me send photos of the toothbrush from all different angles to prove something was wrong.

Horrible customer service. Horrible product. So much regret. Just don't do it.

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

Hi Kelly,

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

We reply to all emails within 24 hours, and eight hours on average. We do our best to do the same on weekends. We believe we have found your email thread which we responded to within our normal reply time. If you are not seeing our initial reply in your main inbox, we always recommend checking your spam or promotions folder in the case our response has landed there.

The troubleshooting and the photos that are requested are done so that we can do our best to address the issue as quickly as possible. Also, to make sure that this does not happen again and to address the problem as fast and thoroughly as possible. Not to acquire proof of a problem.

In the case that we cannot identify the exact issue through troubleshooting/photos, we simply ask to cut the o-rings on your Quip. We understand that international shipping can be costly, so we do not ask our customers from overseas to send their Quip in for a replacement. This will not stop the functionality of your Quip while your free replacement is being sent as it can be used as a manual toothbrush.

International shipping is an estimate of 15 business days and we, unfortunately, are not able to control the end delivery time as this will rely on both US and International shipping carriers, as well as customs. Looking at the tracking for your replacement, we can see that it did arrive in France within the 15 business days.

We can assure you that Quip, which is manufactured in the same facilities using the same parts and processes as major brands, has no known issues. We have hundreds of thousands of members and so you would see far more than 20 comments on review websites like this if there were a common issue.

We again are so sorry that you experienced any issues with your Quip and for any misunderstanding while troubleshooting. Our team at help@getquip.com are always happy to help.
