quip Electric Toothbrush - Non-Rechargeable (2024)

FAQs

Why is my electric toothbrush not keeping charge? ›

The best thing to do is to put it on the charger for 30 minutes or so, and then try to switch it on. If it switches on that's great, and it was correctly switched off while charging. However if it doesn't switch on, that might mean that it wasn't switched off during charging.

All my dentist and hygienist friends use Quip (myself included!). I'm more than happy to say that this product really puts its money where its mouth is. It's easy to endorse a product when it delivers real results and takes care of my patients' teeth and gums. Thanks, Quip!

quip Electric Toothbrushes are powered by regular (or rechargeable!) AAA batteries that you can easily remove and replace. Just swap out your old battery when you replace your Brush Head, then you're good to go for the next 3 months.

Over the years the performance of your toothbrush's internal rechargeable battery will gradually deteriorate. This means that you will get fewer brushing sessions out of a charge and will need to recharge the toothbrush more frequently.

As a rule, it's safe to leave your toothbrush on the charger. The charging stand serves two purposes. The first is to provide a place for the toothbrush to sit when it's not being used. Secondly, it's a quick and convenient way of recharging when the battery is low.

The motor is the part of your Quip sticking out from the handle after you remove the brush head. Place your thumbnail in the small notch on the front of the motor and pull it out from the handle. Then, flip the handle upside down and tap it into your palm so the battery comes out.

If you're looking for a traditional electric toothbrush with powerful cleaning and more movements per minute, go with the Sonicare ProtectiveClean 4100. However, if you're on a tight budget or have very sensitive teeth or gums, Quip is an excellent and visually appealing option.

On average, you can expect electric toothbrushes to last between three and five years. Most manufacturers offer a warranty on electric toothbrushes, between one and two years, so make sure you hold onto your receipt in the event that it doesn't last for its advertised lifespan.

Quip offers a lifetime guarantee for all products that are associated with an active refill plan. If your item isn't associated with an active subscription, the product will be covered under warranty for one year from date of purchase.

How long should an electric toothbrush charge last? ›

Depending on which model you have, it should take between 14 and 22 hours to fully charge the brush, and then the juice should last for between 5 and 12 days of brushes (when brushing twice a day, for 2 minutes each time). If this hasn't been your experience, there are a few things you can try.

Using your electric toothbrush twice a day for 2 minutes each will probably last about three years before the battery needs replacing. If you use it once a day for the same amount of time, the battery should last about five years before needing replacement.

One of the most obvious signs that it is time to replace your electric toothbrush is if the bristles have become visibly worn! Worn bristles appear both sprayed and splayed out. This is a problem as splayed bristles lose their effectiveness in cleaning and can even cause gum irritation.
