Review on 🪥 Advanced Plaque Removal: Colgate 360 Optic White Platinum Electric Toothbrush with 4 Replacement Heads by Tricia Evans

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Great everyday and travel toothbrush although it works but died in less than 3 months.

Edited 6/7/21: Unfortunately this toothbrush died after less than 3 months of use (1-2 times a day). It clicks in and out, but there is no motor activity. Also, I've found it burns out on batteries (2 alkaline AAA) - 6 weeks for the first set and 4½ until it dies during the second set. (The voltmeter reading on the second set was 1.4 volts when it died compared to 1.62 when it was fresh.) I cannot recommend this toothbrush. act. (It also has Bluetooth if you want to be in control of your brushing.) Original Review: I have another Optic White toothbrush that is about 18 months old. It works well, but I wanted to get a second one for travel. Although the name is the same, it's a different toothbrush - much thicker and with a different brush head. This became my new "home" toothbrush and the older, thinner is now my travel toothbrush. These toothbrushes replace my old SonicCare toothbrushes, including my $200 diamond brush. Why? SonicCare toothbrushes are great, but the batteries aren't replaceable. $200 for about 20 months of use isn't worth it, especially when Colgate brushes seem to do the job just as well. (Two SonicCare toothbrushes died in less than 2 years.) As for the (minor) downsides to this new toothbrush: the alkaline batteries that came with it were almost dead (according to my voltmeter); the handle is very thick, wider than a broom handle and can be problematic for small hands; Toothpaste tends to pool where the brush head makes contact with the base (although this seems to be the case with all electric toothbrushes with detachable heads); and the toothbrush tends to stall if you press it too hard against your teeth. (That last point might actually be a feature, since squeezing too hard is bad for your enamel.) Overall, for the price, and especially for travel, I'd recommend buying this (if you still can't find a thinner one). ) .
