Smart toothbrushes are essentially electric toothbrushes that connect to an app via Bluetooth.

I tried three to find out what all the fuss is about.

And is this the 2020 version oftooth tunes?

Smart toothbrushes are essentially electric toothbrushes that connect to an app via Bluetooth.

If you tend to brush too hard, itll tell you.

And if you go to bed without brushing your teeth, its documented, shaming you the next morning.

If you could not care less about your teeth brushing stats, a smart toothbrush is not for you.

To help you make your decision, I tried three.

Keep scrolling for my thoughts.

Brush well and you get points that you’ve got the option to put towards other quip products.

Like the the original Quip, this toothbrush is electric.

It also explains what ranges you want those aforementioned metrics to fall within and why.

The app is easy to use and I love that good brushing habits translate to useable points.

Each head is shaped differently, hugging your teeth in a different way.

And each head triggers a corresponding setting on the toothbrush.

The brush vibrates to let you know when to switch between six sections of your teeth.

Its Amazing How Its All Connected.

But, being more deliberate with your hold, and the flick of your wrist diminishes that.

This smart toothbrush was my favorite out of all of the ones I tried.

And not just because I got it in pink.

Forget about the app for a secthe Philips Sonicare provides an unrivaled degree of cleanliness.

It does notbut the vibrations are so good youd swear it does.

I thought that meant Alexa was gonna tell me when I missed a spot.

Unfortunately (or fortunately?

), the Alexa bit has more to do with the charging base than the brush itself.

you’re able to tell the mini Alexa base to play the news or your favorite song.

But dont expect it to deliver the sound quality of an actual speaker.

The quality isnt great, but its louder than playing music straight from your phone.

The brush head both vibrates and rotates giving you a really good clean.

But it doesnt sound as good as it could.

But as a lazy brusher, I really like having an app to tell me where I can improve.

Got it, you’ve been added to our email list.
