I've used a few vibrating toothbrushes over the years, and the quip is definitely the highest quality of the bunch. The vibrations make it more effective and efficient than traditional toothbrushes, and - I'm making this up - I think the extra stimulation helps promote gum health. I also use another brand's electric toothbrush, with the rotating head, which provides another level of cleaning. My regimen is to use the quip in the morning and throughout the day, then use the other technology before going to bed. A great one-two punch! (And the quip is better for travel.)
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
