Gleem Battery Powered Electric Toothbrush, Black

Almost perfect travel toothbrush. I’ve considered using this as my primary home toothbrush as I love how light and easy it is to hold. I like that it uses a single AAA replaceable battery which is a much better design than other toothbrushes that use a built-in (non-replaceable) battery and require a dedicated charger. I can take this toothbrush with me on voyages and I don’t have to carry an additional charger with it. And if you want a rechargeable toothbrush, just buy a rechargeable AAA battery for it and charge that. I wish more electronic products included standard, replaceable battery sizes like this.

The strength of the brush vibration is ideal. Studies show that many of the super powerful, ultrasonic toothbrushes of the last 10 years were actually too powerful and could remove tooth enamel over an extended period of time. The vibration of this brush isn’t so weak that it doesn’t do anything, but it’s also not so strong that you’d be stripping your enamel away. I find it to be the perfect medium.

The only feature I wish it included is a “pulsing” mode. Perhaps they’ll release a Gen 2 version with a couple more vibrating modes to choose from. That seems like it would be a simple thing to add. But other than that, this toothbrush is a winner. And even if it dies in a couple of years, at this price it’s a no-brainer. I suppose on the point of longevity, Gleem should implement a recycling program. Maybe let customers mail back their toothbrush and get a discount on the next purchase or something? The older I get, the less happy I am about these single-use, forever plastics that get thrown away and then break down into microplastics that enter just about every living thing (and non-living thing) on Earth. Do yourself a favor and Google search the amount of human beings with microplastics in their bloodstream. Companies really need to be more responsible with plastics now. This toothbrush is so cheap, that even if it costed $1-$2 more and they offered a recycling option, I don’t think you’d hear many complaints.

I love my Gleem toothbrush. I did only give a four star because it did suddenly stop working after only a couple months of purchasing it from Walmart but I contacted the company and they are reimbursing me so that I could order a new one here. I love that I know exactly how long I’ve brushed with the timer for the recommended time.

Its perfect. Ive owned the black Phillips Diamond Brite, and the Quip. The Phillips was cool, but you really only need 1 speed, it was bulkier, much more expensive, and who needs another thing plugged in and a cord and charger.

Quip I liked at first (1 speed, sleek, battery/no charger). But I hate that company because they do not honor their warranty. Im 50 years old and never broke a toothbrush in my life. Theirs has a serious design flaw and I probably broke 4 of them before they finally just offered a discount. They said I “must be a hard brusher” and that they “couldn’t duplicate that break in their testing facility). I sent them 20 screenshots of reviews of their toothbrush with the same complaint (brush head falls off). They ignored that. They’d rather blame the customer instead of honoring their warranty.

The Gleem has the best of both worlds. Battery, sleek, looks cool, works great, excellent price. And its designed better than Quip and the brush head won’t fall off. The small head makes it easy to maneuver around your back teeth. Highly recommend.

This brush cleans better than any manual or electric brush I have ever used. For the price, it is an excellent buy.
