At first glance, it is sleek, modern, and minimalistic. The first time I used it I was surprised how quiet it was. I initially thought the vibration was too little as it is a drastic change from my Oral-B. It feels more like an old-school toothbrush in that I have to work it a little more. The vibration and bristles are very gentle but seem quite effective as my teeth feel cleaner. I may spend more time brushing because it feels so good. There are some rubber or silicone bristles around the brush, and for some reason, I really like the massage sensation of that texture. I had gum surgery 2 years ago, and I feel more confident that this brush is gentle enough on my gums. I think I may have an easier time reaching my back teeth because the handle is smaller than the Oral-B, and I have a small mouth.
It’s been perfect for travel as it has its own case, and the back reusable "stick-on" has worked well the 6 times we have traveled with it.
I love that I don’t need to charge it, which makes for less clutter in my bathroom.
Overall, a very positive experience.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
