Had two of them die on me already, so I wouldn’t recommend them.
i do own that brush and i enjoy it. i had a cheap discounter (dm) electric toothbrush before this, and it’s a step up from that. although that discounter toothbrush remembered the last brushing mode when turning the brush back on, which this one doesn’t (which is not necessarily a bad thing either way, with the happybrush if you need a different brushing mode then you get muscle memory for pressing the button multiple times instead). as far as i know it’s compatible with philips brush heads, but don’t quote me on that. of course matching head aesthetics might also be important for you.
Is it a sonic electric toothbrush or does it just vibrate?
The packaging says „Schallzahnbürste“ which translates to sonic toothbrush.
I confused sonic with rotating might be helpful for other people, sonic rotates and moves up and down or side by side and rotating toothbrush spins 360 degrees I prefer rotating toothbrushes my current electric toothbrush has lasted for years its oral-b Braun not European but when I find a good budget electric toothbrush that is European I will be happy to upgrade
Well… Braun is a German brand, located near Frankfurt (where the toothbrushes are engineered). The parent company however is American.
Got one, works well for me. Do not buy the bamboo brushes though! They are super crappy and don’t brush as well. Using the normal brushes I have almost no tooth stone (is that the right word?) building up.
With the bamboo brushes it is building up almost as fast as with a non electric toothbrush.“plaque” is what we call it in English. (which is ironically actually taken from Middle-Germanic/Dutch in the first place)
No, plaque is the soft stuff. Tartar is the colloquial English for it, calculus is the medical term.
Goddamn calculus invading my teeth. Got damn integral and shit on my teeth.
You’re lucky it cannot reach your sinuses.
Yeah don’t wanna be the first person with infected cosinuses
Finally a product I can wholeheartedly recommend. Have been using the Happybrush Vibe 3 for close to two years now and it’s the best electric toothbrush I’ve ever owned. Almost no plaque buildup and my
gencivesgums haven’t been inflamed at all since switching.Tu veux dire “gums” là
Ah, thanks. Yeah, that’s the word 😄
40k vibes (20k full movements) per minute is at the lower end of acceptable (the speed creates the jets between the teeth), but that is great!
Iirc at some point only one company made such motors (with such speeds for such brushes), first only for Phillips.
And it was crap. I bought the Philips model, 200 bucks (for a frigging toothbrush… what was I thinking) and the internal brush mount couldn’t handle the vibrations and broke. I took it apart and it was very obvious that the construction would have never been able to hold on
I have the opposite experience with non-that-brand (that band the only enduring one, and it doesn’t even have lithium batteries).
Why are the replacement heads so fucking expensive? 3 pieces for 15€? Come on.
I’m never buying another Quip product, but if you want to compete for their market share, you gotta make a pink one. I’ll pay extra.
Good news everyone!
Seems to be discontinued, sadly. This one is nice though.
The packaging looks very bi but then they put the gradient on the toothbrush upside down :(
Possibly the pink one was discontinued because it looks a lot like a vibrator (it technically is a vibrator in the truest sense of the word anyway, but still)
Good point. It’s an aggressively hot pink, and I was thinking the name Vibe already invited comparisons to products like We–Vibe. Then again, there’s a pretty huge overlap between toothbrush users and vibrator users. Not the worst idea.
Where do they sell these? Might have to take a look.
