Tested 10 popular electric toothbrushes, I found a big secret!

Why do we brush our teeth every day? I don't know if you have thought about this question, Xiao Lei has been taught to brush his teeth since he was a child, and his cognition when he was a child was that if he didn't brush his teeth, his teeth would easily decay and rot, until he grew up, he found that brushing his teeth was not only healthy, but also saved you a lot of 'tooth maintenance fees'.

Brushing teeth is more about removing plaque, soft scale and food residues through the toothbrush, playing a role in oral self-cleaning and preventing the occurrence of various periodontal diseases, we choose the right toothbrush, toothpaste, and even brushing methods to maximize the service life of teeth, and this is also a classic case of spending a little money to save a lot of money.

As people pay more and more attention to the protection of teeth, there are more and more different types of toothbrushes on the market, most of which are electric toothbrushes, in addition to the traditional old manufacturers Philips and Oral-B, a number of emerging brands focusing on high-tech + cost-effective have also emerged. So the question arises: why are so many people buying electric toothbrushes? How to buy an electric toothbrush?

With these two questions, Xiaolei decided to use the most real user experience to answer his and everyone's doubts.

According to the current sales volume and price on the market, a huge amount of money has been spent to purchase ten electric toothbrushes, respectively from the traditional old manufacturers Philips HX2471, Oral-B Pro4Ultra, Feike FT7105, the new forces represent Xiaomi electric toothbrushes T302 and T200C, and within 100 yuan represent Fupai, scientific leaks, and the three brothers Laifen sweeping and vibrating electric toothbrushes, smile plus usmile Y10, and cute tooth home, with prices ranging from 40 yuan to 472 yuan.

Since the use experience of 10 products is indeed very long, Xiaolei will try to pick out the key points to express, if you have any questions about the experience process, welcome to discuss with Xiaolei in the comment area.

appearance

As a daily necessity that needs to develop daily use habits, the importance of appearance is self-evident, and good-looking products will always make people more motivated to use.

If you want to talk about refinement, it has to be Laifen. The Leifen Sweeping Electric Toothbrush reveals a strong 'fruity flavor' in the unboxing process, just the right damping feeling, one-to-one restoration of magnetic charging, glossy white polycarbonate plastic, and the almost seamless processing at first glance, which makes Xiaolei have the illusion of seeing AirPods, which makes me want to put a protective case on it, plus the height of the 'chicken standing crane group' in a group of electric toothbrushes, the cuteness comes out at once.

The smile plus usmile Y10 is also very good-looking, and the circular screen on the front is very modern. The blue-purple design of the brush head makes people feel that it has a strong cleaning ability, and the semi-transparent wrapped material is soft, which is indeed intentional.

The surface of the Philips HX2471 has been frosted, and the overall design is relatively low-key, mainly black and white, with a low sense of presence and a decent design.

Also an established overseas manufacturer, Oral's B Pro4Ultra is full of strong 'German flavor', full of tool attributes, and is lively like a medical device. At this time, you may think that Philips' decent design is also very good.

What people also don't want to pick up is the two models of Fupai and scientific leaks, the weight is not commensurate, the surface treatment is a bit strange, the feel is matte but not non-slip, especially Fupai, and especially loves to make a fuss about color, Xiaolei has tried to choose the most low-key color, and other colors can be searched and felt by themselves.

In contrast, although the Xiaomi T200C is not produced by Sushi OEM like the T302, the appearance design of the two remains consistent, and it is also better than the other two products within 100 yuan in terms of design and grip.

User experience

In order to test the rigor of the effect, Xiaolei in addition to preparing the tester, also prepared an additional pair of isolated dental molds, and personally debugged the plaque simulation solution with reference to the paper, which can simulate the process of plaque adhesion, we apply the simulation solution to the isolated dental mold, let it air dry for ten minutes, and the surface can form this plaque-like gelatinous layer, and then use the pasteur brushing method to test each product, which can intuitively compare the cleaning ability.

Real person + dental mold test grasping with both hands, no one can run away from these manufacturers, and it is clear at a glance whether it is good to use it or not.

The worst performance is Fupai and Scientific Leaks, look at this tooth mold, and then look at the plaque comparison before and after our tester brushes his teeth, you will wonder if he brushed well.

The reason why electric toothbrushes are highly regarded by so many people is because the motor of the fuselage can drive the bristles on the brush head to flick left and right, which can reduce the workload of moving up and down when brushing, so as to achieve a labor-saving effect. This is also what we often call a sonic toothbrush, of course, this name is a pure marketing rhetoric, in fact, it can't emit sound waves with cleaning ability at all, it is a marketing ghost hired by Philips in the early years through a series of self-deceptive algorithms, to tie his toothbrush and ultrasound to the relationship, Xiaolei thinks that it may be more appropriate to call it a flip toothbrush.

However, Fupai and science are likely to have a problem with the motor, there is only vibration, but the brush head will not shake, and the main function of this motor is to tell you that you are buying an electric toothbrush, which plays a psychological role. Especially this one that is scientifically picked up, my hands are numb, and the actual cleaning ability is pitifully weak. Fupai also has multiple modes of the thief, counting the strength, there are a total of 15 cleaning modes, every time I press the wrong mode, I have to press 15 modes again, is the brushing time extended by this method?

Taking this opportunity, Xiaolei also popularized a very simple distinction method for everyone, although it cannot be guaranteed to be 100% correct, but it also helps you eliminate some 'pretending' electric toothbrushes, that is, dip the toothbrush head in water and start, and the toothbrush that really has a cleaning effect can be shaken off regularly with the flicking of the bristles; The electric toothbrush that pretends to be pretending to be water, the water will be wrapped in the bristles and tremble together, and will not be thrown off, it is recommended that friends who have already bought an electric toothbrush can test it, especially for products within 50 yuan.

It is also a product within 100 yuan, Xiaomi T200C performs okay, at this price you can buy this electric toothbrush with cleaning ability, what kind of bicycle, if you have to pick a shortcoming, it is too light, and the center of gravity is off.

The Xiaomi T302 manufactured by Sushi is stronger than its own brother in terms of cleaning ability, and the center of gravity is uniform, the surface treatment is delicate, and the feel is better.

There is also Feike FT7105, which can be heard on the dentures, and when starting, the toothpaste is easy to splash out, experiencing bad reviews, and the cleaning ability is at the same level as Xiaomi T302.

Smile plus usmile Y10 button plus screen display interactive design, Xiaolei really spent hundreds of millions of learning costs to figure out how to operate, and the correct usage is to never turn off the phone, pick it up and turn on the screen, otherwise you need to reset the language every time you turn it on. But its cleanliness is still worthy of recognition, and with the built-in cleanliness evaluation system, it can help users correct wrong brushing habits in a targeted manner.

The cleaning ability of the Mengya family is fine, but it is stuffed into the mouth and will hit the teeth, it is also the king of the delivery industry, Xiaolei did not see the other two innovations of the same level in it, which is a pity.

In addition to the two overseas veteran manufacturers, the first echelon of cleaning capacity also has the recently very popular Laifen sweeping electric toothbrush. The rotary brush head of the Oral-B Pro4Ultra is very distinctive, pure industrial style in the operating room, but this teeth-grinding sound is quite scary before it is put in the mouth, and it is okay after putting it in the mouth, mainly noisy with your roommate. It is worth noting that Xiao Lei once consulted a dentist that if you are a friend who wears bracket aligners, it is not suitable to use the Oral-B with a rotating brush head.

The Philips HX2471 is much quieter, and under the premise of ensuring the cleaning ability, both brushers and bystanders will not feel noisy.

In addition to the brush head of similar products, it also adds a motor to drive the rotation of the entire brush head, so theoretically, the amplitude of the bristles swept can be much greater than that of similar products, and it is indeed labor-saving enough to use. As a brush head for daily consumables, compared with Philips and Oral-B brush heads for fifty yuan each, Laifen brush heads for an average of ten yuan are undoubtedly more cost-effective.

However, there are still some problems in the experience, such as the lack of reminders to change zones every 30s (other brands have them), which is not very friendly to people who do not have a sense of time, and it is easy to have uneven distribution of brushing time; And although it sounds very quiet to outsiders, when we put it in our mouths, the teeth are very strong, and the tester can only open his mouth slightly when brushing his teeth, and the noise of bone conduction is not small.

There is also a problem that is easy to lead to social death, for this integrated fuselage, they even make the buttons pressure-sensitive, although there is a lock mode, but it is easy to accidentally touch and cause the power to start. There is a lot of feedback on the Internet that it is inexplicably started in the bag, and friends who have the need to carry it out should pay special attention to this, and you never want to find that the battery is exhausted when you use it.

Written at the end

After some experience and testing, Xiaolei can also be regarded as giving you the 10 electric toothbrushes as clearly as possible, as mentioned at the beginning, it is impossible to do everything due to limited space, hoping to bring a little help to everyone's dental health road.

Xiaolei divided the products tested above into three categories: recommended, can be bought, and not recommended, and attached the advantages and disadvantages for your reference. If I want to give clear advice, based on the price and effect, friends who want to develop good brushing habits can choose Smile Plus, and those who want to save effort and have developed the habit of brushing their teeth can choose Laifen.

But Xiao Lei believes that the most important thing is to learn the correct brushing method, the tools are important, but a good brushing method is the key to protecting teeth, you may wish to spend two minutes learning the Pap brushing method, I believe you will definitely gain something.

Finally, Xiaolei is here to wish everyone no cavities, eat well, and be in good health. What other product reviews would you like to see? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area.
