I am a doctor and got the Quip because I thought it would be a good way to travel and brush my teeth similar to a Sonicare/Oral toothbrush.
I returned the brush after a day of use because the electric vibration really offers no added value of brushing your teeth by your hands.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Company Response from Quip NYC Inc.
We are sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy your Quip!
All toothbrushes, whether manual or electric, should still be used the same by using small tooth sized strokes. The truth is, as the American Dental Association and Consumer Reports say, any electric toothbrush will clean your teeth just the same if you're brushing your teeth properly. That's why we created Quip, to help guide the habits that matter. Quip has earned the American Dental Association Seal of Acceptance for safety and efficacy in removing plaque and gingivitis, so there will be no difference in the way that Quip brushes your teeth vs. another manual or electric toothbrush if you're brushing properly.
We also use dentist-recommended, industry standard, soft nylon bristles, and the same sensitive vibrations as many other electric toothbrushes, to provide a thorough, yet non-damaging clean, that's still gentle on the gums. With the addition of a 2-minute timer and 30-second pulses, the brush heads delivered on a recommended basis, Quip is guiding good habits that really matter.
We hope this explains why Quip vibrates the way it does. We thank you for giving us a try.
