Nice price.  Nice Set.  No use!
[[VIDEOID:8ee286ac50c67ae00b30690bf2bbe82c]] My 2-year-old Sonicare toothbrush is making some odd noises after being accidentally dropped.  I’ve used electric toothbrushes for over 20 years.  So, when I saw this toothbrush set in my Amazon Vine listing, I thought I’d try it as a potential replacement.  As an Amazon Vine reviewer, I am offered new-to-market products, if I want them, at no cost to me, in exchange for an honest, objective, and comprehensive review.<br />At $25 for two electric toothbrushes and 10 brush heads, this seems to be a superb value.  Too good to be true? – ABSOLUTELY!  You really do get what you pay for.<br />.<br />DESIGN:<br />.<br />The brush heads are attached via a bayonet fitting to the top of the toothbrush.  The fit works OK.  The bristles are very soft.  The product description does state soft.  There’s no color indicator for when to replace the heads.  The manual states to do it when the bristles are worn and bent over.<br />.<br />The toothbrush itself is fairly light but will stand up on its end without issue.  Charging, recommended every 10-14 days, is achieved by removing a bayonet cap at the bottom and plugging in the proprietary USB-C charging cable (no charging brick included).  The LED will glow red.  However, it does not seem to turn off when a full charge is achieved.  Plugged in – LED always glows red.<br />There is a selector button.  Press once to turn ON.  Long press to turn OFF.  Once ON, a button press will cycle through the various vibration modes.  If you long press to turn the unit OFF, when restarting, the toothbrush does remember the last mode setting.  I found it all too easy though to change the mode when turning the unit OFF, by forgetting to long press!<br />The vibration modes really don’t change much other than a little maximum intensity variation and a slight change in the variable vibration pattern.  There is a noticeable long pause at the 30 second intervals.  You briefly think the toothbrush has turned off.  To be honest, I’ve never used the different modes on my other electric toothbrushes.  They are more of a gimmick than a useful function IMHO.<br />.<br />PERFORMANCE:<br />.<br />I had high hopes but was sorely disappointed.  Yes, the toothbrush vibrates, but the level is so low, you have to use it like a manual toothbrush to get any cleaning effect.  I just felt like I was back to using a manual toothbrush that shook in my hand.<br />I feel more vibration in my hand than on my teeth!  The very soft bristles absorb any movement over their length and the ends essentially don’t move against the tooth surface.<br />I created the attached video to try and illustrate the difference between the Sonicare and the Eoryeo.  You can easily see how the level of vibration is so much less on the Eoryeo.  I chose the POLISH mode as that was the strongest.<br />.<br />CONCLUSION:<br />.<br />Nice price.  Comprehensive set.  No use.<br />.<br />Don’t waste your money!  You aren’t getting the real benefit of an electric toothbrush, just a shaking manual toothbrush.  I suppose if you have really sensitive gums and need a soft bristled brush and gentle vibrations, maybe this would work for you, but, in that case, I’d just buy a soft-bristled, manual toothbrush and talk with my dentist!<br />My dentist advises that you should not press an electric toothbrush hard against your teeth with a hand-hold grip but hold it at the end, or between two fingers, and let the brush head do the work.  There’s no way, the Eoryeo Electric Toothbrush will work like that.<br />.<br />This set is unfortunately going in the trash at my house and I’ll be off to buy another Sonicare!
