I love my quip! The built-in pauses let me know when it's time to move on to a new quadrant! I'm definitely doing a better job brushing my teeth every day. I was concerned about using the quip because I have receding gums but I have had no trouble or sensitivity in the short time I have used the quip.
I don't think the sticky strip is sufficient to hang the brush as advertised, but I don't think it's necessary either. I prefer putting my toothbrush in the medicine cabinet rather than creating clutter on my counter.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
