    Great review! I'm debating getting on of these but torn between the 21 and 32 oz. I like the idea of the bigger one but also dislike the idea of carrying a huge bottle around all the time feels like it could be annoying and heavy 🙈

    Thank you for watching! That’s why I have both😄 I’d go for the 21oz if you’re gonna carry it around a lot. The only downside is obviously the amount of times you have to refill it. But that can also be a positive thing if you’re sitting behind a computer all day. That’s my experience, anyway. Whatever you do, I think you’re gonna be happy with either one. Good luck!😃👍

    DO NOT BUY ANY OF THEIR PRODUCT LINE. I bought one for my wife and in about a year the puck started falling out and eventually got damaged. She emailed the company and one of their representatives said yes they know about the puck issue and that it is a manufacturing problem with the threading on the puck. He said he would try to give her a replacement cup at first but eventually said the 100 day warranty had expired and couldn’t give her a replacement. So the company knows about the issue and still refuses to stand behind their product. DO NOT BUY FROM A COMPANY LIKE THIS THAT ONLY CARES ABOUT SALES AND WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT.

    You don't need the app or the stand, just the pressure sensor. It's not hard to know whether you've brushed all your teeth or not, but maintaining the correct pressure is more of a challenge which the brush can deal with alone.

  • @tophers3756
    @tophers37566 ай бұрын

    I have a series 7 and never use the Bluetooth and tracking. If you already have a brushing routine that is at least 2 minutes like me then the timer is pointless. Plus if you then clean it while running it adds time so the recorded time is inaccurate anyway. The tracking lags on all models or so I'm told so it's better to just develop a routine and you will never use the connected features. The best features are present on most models . Mainly a truly usable pressure sensor are on ask models (unlike others brushes that only trigger when pressing a ridiculous amount.), a sensitive mode, and a display showing the modes (on series 5 and up). If you don't need a super sensitive option found on the series 8, 9 and 10 then just go with the series 5. The only thing missing is the magnetic charging which mean's a little extra cleaning on the bottom of the brush.
