My quip is collecting dust in the cabinet because I’m back to buying disposable tooth brushes.

It’s such a bummer because the aesthetic of the toothbrush is really nice

Cool it’s so easy that I broke when trying

It's weird they didn't include these instructions with the brush.. at least not when I got one. Mine's been a paper weight for a while

I returned it the next day (today) for a partial refund lmao! I’ve never experienced using a toothbrush and not feeling “clean” afterwards

I wish I had know that Quip was so inferior. I just invested hundreds of dollars into a new toothbrush setup and threw out the Quip.

I have had to use a pair of pliers to change mine, this time without success! It’s ridiculous.

Setup quirks & things to watch for

Not complaints — practical notes from owners that didn't affect the score.

I have the quip LE in all-black metal which is super sexy. Doesn’t do quite as good of a job as the Sonicare, but it’s not half-bad either — plus it is much smaller and has a built-in travel cover.
