  Best Electric Toothbrush That Will Last?

  I just got the Quip Ultra for Christmas and it is perfect. There's no parts for mold to get into at all.

  Best Electric Toothbrush Recommendations?

  Quip has worked well for me for travel, slim and compact. The neck is also thin enough for a UV brush head case to clip on to sanitize it and protect it while traveling. But it was annoying to have to keep track of a second toothbrush, so now I just bring my Sonicare even though it’s a bit bulkier.

  what's the best electric toothbrush?

  I use a Quip. They send a new aaa battery and toothbrush head every three months. They’ve also replaced the motor twice in five years after they fail. I’m very happy with it.

  I have been using the quip electric toothbrush for a few years for the sole reason that it’s the only quiet one I’ve found! It supposedly doesn’t clean as well, but I figure it’s a fair compromise.

  when it comes to picking a travel electric toothbrush, the cleaning power is almost the same across the board so the real differences are in how travel-friendly the design is. charging is usually the biggest factor, usb-c is way more convenient since you can use the same cable as your phone instead of carrying a base. battery powered ones are simpler but you’ll be hunting for aaa batteries if you forget. the next big thing is how you actually pack it. without a case the bristles get nasty pretty fast, so a solid cover is usually better than the foldable gimmick ones that feel flimsy. noise and size matter too, some of the more powerful oral-b models get loud in a quiet hotel room, while slimmer sonic brushes like philips are easier to toss in a bag. when i was comparing, i ended up checking out this site called reddit vetted where someone’s compiled actual reddit reviews into lists you can filter by price, charging type or portability. way easier than digging through dozens of scattered threads. quip is compact and cheap but honestly closer to a powered manual brush than a full clean. suri keeps popping up because it’s usb-c charged and slim, plus more eco-friendly. philips and oral-b both make “travel” editions that are reliable but usually take up a bit more room. the combo that seems to win most people over is slim handle, usb-c charging, and a sturdy case.

  Quip’s great for travel -slim, has a bristle cover, and easy to pack. Not super powerful, but does the job. Sonicare travel models are a bit stronger if you need more clean.

  I've been using the same Quip since 2016. Brush and battery refills every three months. They have a new design that I may invest in because it's even less plastic waste. They have some nice, slim deigns too, and they have a holder that grips to your mirror, as well as a little travel case for it.

  I’ve been traveling with the Quip for over a year now and honestly, it’s been perfect for short trips. Super slim, lightweight, and the travel cover doubles as a stand which is clutch in hotel bathrooms. It runs on a AAA battery so no charging needed, which is actually a plus if you don’t want to deal with cables. That said, the clean isn’t as intense as something like a Sonicare, but it definitely beats a manual brush or those hotel freebies. If you want something more powerful and don’t mind the bulk, the Philips One by Sonicare (rechargeable version) is another solid option. USB-C Too.

  I've used multiple of these over the years and settled on the Quip. It's compact, rechargeable via just a cable (so you don't have to carry a charging case or charging puck), and somehow that battery inside last for *months*.

  I’ve had my quip for 7 years. Bonus is that if you do their toothpaste it’s also a small tube

  Looking for a good floss holder, that actually just holds floss.

  As far as the tensioning system for the orthomechanic it is pretty bad because the floss will slide out as you floss. I found actually wrapping the floss around the flosser itself and holding down on the tab where it seals the string relieved a lot of that. Enough to get the job done. I'll see about the quip flosser.

  What is the best electric toothbrush?

  I use a brand called Quip and I love it. Compact and no-frills. It just works. What I like (and in most products I hate this) is you get subscription, and every three months they send you a new brush head. Normally I forget to replaced the heads and use them way past their due. This way when the new one shows up I just swap it. https://getquip.com

  Searching for good & durable and electric toothbrush (I’m new to this)

  I’ve had a Quip for years now. I think it was $30-40 usd. Cheap replacement heads. Takes one AAA battery and the one battery lasts months and months.

  My Oral B electric toothbrush stopped working after 13 years <3 looking for some recs.

  I've been super happy with my quip. I don't know about the new smart motor option so ymmv. Even though I loath most subscriptions having the replacement heads in this case is a win for me.

  Quip mails a new head and battery every 3 months via the subscription service. They just show up haha.

  In terms of BIFL, I’d nominate Quip. The subscription is cheap and they send you new brush heads and batteries routinely. I think its around $5 every time, maybe every 3 months. I’ve had my 8 years and at one point the motor/base was acting up and they sent me a new one base. Because otherwise they’d lose a customer if I have no reason to subscribe for a broken toothbrush.
