There are certain things that I absolutely love about my quip. I love the travel carrying case, the replaceable battery, the built-in timer to make sure I'm always doing 2 minutes of brushing. Based on those things I was really hoping that I was going to love my new toothbrush. The main thing that holds me back from that is really the strength of the vibration. If feels more like a manual toothbrush that just sort of shakes a lot in your hands. Don't get me wrong, that's not the worst thing in the world but I'm not getting the kind of clean that I get with my normal electric toothbrush at home. That being said, I am still a fan.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
