I have been a user of Sonic products for over ten years and feel it is a good product, but the replacement brushes are expensive, and the battery life can be a challenge when taking a week-long trip. I heard the advertisements for the Quip product on the radio and thought I would give it a try. In my opinion, it does a better job of cleaning my teeth than the Sonic product did, it is less expensive, and the fact that it doesn't need a charger is great for travelers. I am very happy with it and plan on purchasing the product for my family members.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
