quip earns mixed reviews: it looks refined and travels well, but its brushing performance trails true electric rivals. Reviews praise quip’s sleek, lightweight design, mirror-mounted travel cover, timed 30‑second pulses, and hassle-free refill heads (often with batteries). Many criticize weak vibrations that act more as a timer than a cleaner, bristles that feel too stiff or wear quickly, fragile heads and motors, hard-to-remove parts, and occasional mold or gunk buildup—some dentists urge switching to oscillating or higher-powered brushes.

  • The thing that bothers me about this is the holder, which gets a bunch of grime in it and then you can’t clean it

  • I love my quip toothbrush! It is sleek and works well. The battery life lasts forever and the parts are easy to switch in and out as needed.

  • I love the design, the packaging, and the luxe feel of the toothbrush itself. But unfortunately the vibration doesn't cut it for my dentist, she says the minimal vibration isn't enough to actually do much more than a traditional toothbrush. I would definitely try any other products by Quip since I love the brand itself! I WISH the toothbrush was approved by my dentist because it's hands-down my favorite toothbrush I've had, but I've gotta do right by my teeth! If they made a version with a spinning brush head I would 100% buy it!

  • My favorite toothbrush ever. It provides a great cleaning, with no nose-tickling feeling I've gotten from other electric toothbrushes. Compact, stylish, and easy to travel with!

  • Had the toothbrush for like 2 weeks and it just started intermittently stopping while I was brushing my teeth.

  • Two years ago I would have given quip five stars, recommending them to all my friends and family. The build quality of the product is good enough, and they have a fairly straightforward subscription management service where they send you a new head and battery at regular intervals. But after consulting with my dentist and having several cavities pop up, the promise of this type of electric toothbrush is not what it seems. You need to get much more motion with the bristles, either by hand or by an electric toothbrush that rotates, than the quip provides. Simply vibrating doesn't provide enough brushing motion to remove plaque, and almost is deceptively effective leading you to get a much lower quality brush.

  • My dentist told me that, for some reason, his patients that have been using this toothbrush (including me) experience gum damage.

  • Cutest design ever and actually works 10/10

  • I've been using a quip toothbrush for a year and a half now. I have subscribed to receive new toothbrush heads in the mail which is really convenient! The design is sleek and easy to keep clean. Thought its not a powerful electric toothbrush, it is great for timing your brushing. My only complaint is that when the head starts to wear down, it really wears down. I have had the plastic tongue scraper on the back start breaking off in my mouth (yikes). This could easily be solved by replacing the head more frequently. The packaging is sustainable and recyclable. It is great for an affordable electric toothbrush.

  • I have used a quip toothbrush for the past year with generally positive results. I like that the vibrations are timed for two minutes, so I remember to brush my teeth an adequate amount of time. The color options are nice, and I appreciate the option to choose a plastic or aluminum case. This is the only electric toothbrush I have used before, so I can't compare it to other products on the market. I wouldn't say the vibrations seem to clean my teeth better than a normal toothbrush, but the bristles do hold up well. While I enjoy the toothbrush, I wouldn't necessarily say it is any better than whatever else is currently on the market. I did get free toothpaste with my latest replacement toothbrush head, and I have really enjoyed it so far.

  • I REALLY wanted to like this company. Aesthetically pleasing, seems to be more eco friendly, and convenient subscriptions. Unfortunately for me the product just didn’t work well brushing wise, mechanics wise, and it took me multiple attempts and emails to get cancelled. I will give an added bonus for the lifetime warranty - but you WILL need it.

  • A very sleek design that is travel friendly and resembles a familiar shape of a normal toothbrush. This makes it so accessible and easy for anyone to pick up and use, without awkwardly packing a charger for your toothbrush or having it take up too much space in your bathroom. I really enjoy using this - the battery lasts for so long. I've used quip for about 3 years now and don't see myself ever buying a different toothbrush.

  • I used a Quip toothbrush for a while, but stopped once the brush died. I forgot to order a new battery and didn’t care enough to stick with the quip brand. To me, it’s similar to any other electric toothbrush

  • Innovative product, nice to have an electric option in a travel friendly size. Overall I didn’t find it gave me the best brush. I like this if I’m traveling for a few days, but not for everyday use.

  • One of my favorite toothbrushes! My kids love them!

    Friends with quip
  • I love how sleek & modern they made an average everyday product! These brushes are great and the autoship refills make life simple. I love the two minute timer and the ease of brushing. I have had multiple issues with their brush heads snapping, however, but their customer service has been great every time!

  • This toothbrush, by far is the best "Electric" toothbrush I've ever owned, and I've had ALL the fancy brands. It travels well, always works, and doesn't feel like it's going to buzz your teeth out of your mouth like some electric toothbrushes do. My son has sensory issues and this by far is his favorite toothbrush as well. The battery lasts forever as do the brush heads. We only rated it a 4/5 because it is sometimes difficult to find the brush heads in stock. But if you buy them in bulk (FSA, anyone?) you should be all good!

  • I loved my Quip until the toothbrush and floss container both broke. I believe they will replace them so that’s good at least.

  • Ive had my quip toothbrush for year and love it! It’s so convenient for someone who travels a lot since it’s compact and doesn’t have a charging mechanism. I do wish the brush head was slightly smaller to make it easier to get around my back teeth - but that’s my only complaint!
