I had been using a Sonic brush for a long time, but sometimes it would tear up my gums. I ordered a Quip when my brush died on me, which it seems to do every 3 years without fail. This option was so much less expensive and my favorite podcast had a code so I figured why not support them and try it out! I'm glad I did. The Quip's vibrations are much less stronger than the Sonic so it took some getting used to, but for whatever reason, the 2 minutes seems to go faster when using this brush. I think because I'm more focused on scrubbing than I was with the Sonic, I just let it do all the work.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
