What is it?
A budget-friendly electric toothbrush.
Good points?
The brush’s round-tipped bristles ensure effective cleaning of teeth while preventing damage to your gums.
Operating at an impressive 40,000 vibrations per minute, the brush pulsates efficiently, reaching deep into difficult-to-access areas.
The W-shaped brush head is ingeniously crafted to conform to the alignment of teeth, ensuring a thorough clean no matter the configuration of your teeth.
A built-in two-minute timer halts operation every 30 seconds so you don’t overdo it in one area. This is a nice feature and in line with more expensive products.
The IPX7 waterproof rating adds to the brush’s appeal, allowing it to stand up to accidental splashes without compromising its functionality.
Five preset modes cater to different cleaning needs offering versatility for users. Furthermore, the inclusion of eight replacement brush heads enhances its value and longevity.
The rechargeable battery provides an outstanding 30-day runtime on a single charge. This gives uninterrupted usage without frequent recharging.
The raft of intelligent features includes a brush head replacement reminder after three months, ensuring optimal dental hygiene.
Bad points?
The grip is not textured which means the device can become slippery to hold after a few seconds of usage, so may not be ideal for children.
Although the toothbrush is portable and doesn’t take up much space in your toiletry bag it would have been nice to have the addition of a travel case to keep it safe when travelling.
Best for ...
Those with sensitive gums looking for a gentler electric dental cleaning solution.
Avoid if ...
If you like the option to clean your cheek and tongue with the same gadget as it’s omitted here.
Score: 8/10.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
