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.

  • Got quip for me and my Bf. We both used for awhile but we’re really disappointed that it really barely vibrated in a way that would ACTUALLY clean your teeth better. It barely moved and was more like a timer as to when you were done then having any added benefit to a regular toothbrush.

    Make the electric toothbrush do something!

  • The Quip toothbrush is a great product that has helped me improve my oral hygiene routine. I love the 30-second intervals that remind me to switch sides while brushing, which has made a noticeable difference in the cleanliness of my teeth and gums. However, I have had some issues with the toothbrush dying out, even after changing the batteries and the brush head. Unfortunately, this has happened with multiple brushes that I have purchased, which is a bit frustrating. While the toothbrush itself is relatively affordable, the cost of constantly replacing the brush head and batteries can add up over time. It would be great if the brand could address this issue and improve the overall lifespan of the toothbrush. Despite these issues, I still find the Quip toothbrush to be effective and helpful in maintaining my oral health. It's lightweight and easy to use, and the sleek design is a nice touch. I also appreciate the convenience of the subscription service, which ensures that I always have a fresh brush head on hand. In summary, while the Quip toothbrush has some issues with battery life and brush head replacement, it's still a solid product that can help improve your oral hygiene routine. If the brand could address these issues, it would be an even better investment in the long run.

    While the Quip toothbrush has many great features, there are a few areas where the brand could improve to make it an even better product. First, the brand could work on improving the battery life of the toothbrush. It can be frustrating to have the toothbrush die out mid-brush, and it would be great if users didn't have to constantly replace the batteries. Second, the brand could consider offering more options for brush head firmness. While the standard brush head works well for many users, some may prefer a softer or firmer bristle for their specific dental needs. Third, it would be helpful if the brand provided more detailed instructions on how to properly care for and maintain the toothbrush. This would help users get the most out of their purchase and ensure that the toothbrush lasts as long as possible. For those considering purchasing a Quip toothbrush, it's important to note that this toothbrush is designed to help improve your oral hygiene routine. The 30-second intervals are a great reminder to brush each quadrant of your mouth thoroughly, and the sleek design is a nice touch. However, it's worth keeping in mind that the toothbrush may require more frequent battery and brush head replacements than other toothbrushes on the market. Overall, the Quip toothbrush is a solid investment for those looking to improve their oral hygiene routine. With some improvements to battery life and brush head options, it has the potential to be even better.

  • Bought my daughter this toothbrush and it's very cute, I like the electric mechanism (easy to use and not too rough on the teeth) but it's expensive to purchase the replacement heads.

    Feedback

    I think these are good products, not sure how well it's cleaning my teeth but I like the look of it and it's nice to not have to charge it all the time!

  • It was a good experience until the toothbrush started smelling like mold. I changed the brush head thinking it was that but the smell didn't go away. I like the concept however I think its nothing extraordinary.

    Feedback

    there has to be something that could be made redarding the smell it has after some uses.

  • love quip and always like having a clean toothbrush because of their subscription service. my teeth have never looked whiter

    Feedback

    you probably don't need the toothpaste every 3-months, every 6 has been good enough for me.

  • I had a toothbrush for several years and it worked great, until it broke and stopped turning on. I bought a replacement because I liked the toothbrush before it broke, but the quality of the toothbrush must have gone down because it started not turning on properly within 1 month of purchase. I eventually got so annoyed with my malfunctioning toothbrush that I switched to a Soniccare. I prefer the look of this one, but I’m happy my Soniccare actually works. I did enjoy the brush head subscription. It made it super easy for me to remember to switch out my brush head.

    Feedback

    I reached out on customer service to replace my toothbrush, but never heard back. I was never able to use my lifetime guarantee.

  • 4-5 years ago I feel like quip made it on a New York Times gift of the year list. I received the product and subscription as a gift and used it until I had a poor renewal experience one too many times.

    Feedback

    Battery life was poor. Brush stability and longevity was very poor. Customer experience was good, but unfortunately had to engage with them far too often for a tooth brush. No need to over complicate a toothbrush with a modern subscription style biz model

  • My entire household has one of these toothbrushes. We love them so much. Easy to replace the batteries and so great for travel. We love them.

  • Using quip was a unique experience. I enjoy the aesthetics of the brand and their toothpaste is one of my favorites as it is more of a Sweet Mint, but I'm not a huge fan of the refill system. I believe I had the max amount of time between refills but it still felt like they were sending me refills when I didn't need them. They don't have any way to tell, but it was nice to collect them to just be able to change whenever I felt like it.

  • I'm a sucker for a convenient subscription product and I'd been meaning to buy an electric toothbrush for a while. But, I found that Quip toothbrushes didn't really feel like they were working (confirmed by my dentist who didn't recommend them) and both mine and my fiance's broke too many times for us to continue using them.

    Feedback

    Customer service is great and product is nice looking, but both of ours didn't last long before breaking and never were the same after we received replacement pieces.

  • The best feature of this toothbrush is that it features a timer in the form of vibrations, meaning that it helps users spend an allotted time in each quadrant while brushing. Otherwise, the vibrations offer no additional cleaning benefit compared to a standard toothbrush. It’s aesthetically pleasing and offers a holder and a subscription to replace the brush heads and batteries, but otherwise it’s an ordinary toothbrush.

  • My boyfriend and I got these toothbrushes and our dentists said absolutely not! She explained that they barely offer half the cleaning power of a typical electric toothbrush. Swapped for the oral b electric toothbrush and my dentist is much happier with me.

  • I appreciate good dental habits + the subscriptions make that easy!

    Feedback

    I find the brush looses it softness pretty quickly.

  • Great electric toothbrush to carry when traveling or on the go. Would still prefer the standard electric toothbrushes, as this felt more cheap and less durable.

    Feedback

    Great option for travel or quick trips, but may not be worth the price given the bristles are short and doesn’t feel like you’re getting a good clean. Battery life was average as well.

  • I wanted to like this brand, but it's such a simple toothbrush; it didn't really feel like it was doing anything. I ended up returning it and getting a cheaper electric toothbrush from Amazon, and it feels like it's so much better quality.

  • I really enjoyed this product but my dentist suggested that it would not be an ideal replacement for a regular electric toothbrush. The look is nice and the auto ship replacement heads are a nice feature - I use it as my travel toothbrush.

    Feedback

    The base gets a bit crusty over time and can be hard to swap out the parts and batteries. But again the autoship of the head and battery is a nice component.

  • I used a Quip toothbrush for over a year. It wasn’t a bad option, but I found it to be not as effective as a standard electronic toothbrush and maybe more suitable for travel/less frequent use.

  • I was really excited to try this new toothbrush especially because it’s subscription service would save me trips to the store. I was really disappointed when the product came broken and customer service was not helpful. It took over a month to get a refund and a new toothbrush sent. I was also unimpressed with the vibration of the toothbrush and do not think it cleans my teeth as well as my oral-b. Lots of hype for the product without anything behind it.

    Feedback

    A better customer experience and a higher frequency vibration would help this product.

  • When I first got this years ago it was good. However as the years went on the brush would die quicker and they started taking forever to send the brush heads in the mail. I even got another quip brush in case mine was defective but it was the same problem.

    Feedback

    They need to send out the brush heads quicker. Also not have the battery die as quickly.

  • Have these for both of my kids. Great product that makes brushing a lot easier for littles.
