Cleans your teeth!
This is my first experience with an electric toothbrush. I was a little confused with how to charge this but you need to take out the cup and plug it into that spot. So it’s nice that it comes with a cup but it does go in the charging spot. The UV disinfectant and dryer is very cool indeed. I can’t tell what the difference is in all the different settings. The toothbrush does a really good job of cleaning and you can feel your teeth clean even for a while after you brush. You should put it in your mouth first before you turn it on or else you’ll spray toothpaste all over the place. Overall this was a good foray into electronic toothbrushing for me. I don’t think it’s the top quality as some of the name brands but it works and gets the job done. I love that it comes with replacement heads.

Very good brush and system!
This toothbrush exceeded my expectations.
The charging base is a well thought out system that includes a charging base, a cup for rinsing and a slot to sanitize your brush with UV light, and the kit also comes with 3 toothbrush heads to start with. The brush itself is powerful and makes my teeth feel really clean, almost like a professional cleaning at the dentist. The pink color is also super cute (a nice plus), and the price is very reasonable, especially if using the coupon for $29 that they run sometimes.

It works!
I tried these on my teenage son who has pretty yellow teeth after braces. You can’t really tell in pics but in person they made a difference. He hasn’t had any odd side effects or sore gums from using them and said they were easy to use. He wears them for the recommended amount of time although started lower the first time to make sure he wasn’t allergic or anything. But so far great product and we are happy with it!
