I love this toothbrush. It works well, and I like knowing refills are automatic, it's compact and easy.
But I hate picking it up off of the floor all the time. It's a beautiful design, for sure, but I think the designers at Quip have been smoking too much Jonny Ive. Where do you use a toothbrush? In the bathroom. What's in the bathroom? Water. It's a lovely design, but the super smooth, cylindrical handle is impossible to hold with wet hands, and at least 1-2 times a week my Quip rolls uninhibited off the counter falling to the floor and inevitably rolling under the vanity.
It makes such a good roller, maybe the Egyptians used Quip toothbrushes to move the pyramid stones.
I know it sounds trivial, but when wet, this is one slippery fish. Pretty, but not as functional as it could be. Disappointing for the money.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
