I bought a Quip in September of this year and love it. It is small and easy to travel with; does not irritate your gums, is thorough. The only mild criticism I have is that it is not as easy to turn off as it should be. You have to press hard and sometimes more than once. But that is a very minor criticism as I am buying them for Christmas gifts to family members.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
