I had been wary of quip since I heard of it. It honestly seemed like a scam to pay too much money initially on a single toothbrush. But after some crunching and the realization of just how much I spend on oral care. I took the bullet and ordered a brush and a refill plan. And I'm glad I did. The vibration every 30 seconds helps ensure that I am spending enough time on each part of my mouth. The brush doesn't make me bleed either, which was a problem with every single other toothbrush I have owned since I was a kid. It's great and so simple.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
