Philips

"Sonicare"
·
"Just switched to sonicare because of this sub and couldn’t be happier it’s unbelievable how much cleaner I feel after using"
·
"I’ve had my Sonicare for 12 years now!"
·
"I’m a dentist, sonicare is what I go for. Oral b is also good but has a higher chance for gum recession in my opinion."
·
"My Sonicare brush from 8 years ago is going strong. Only thing I gotta worry about is replacement heads"
·
"Sonicare. I’ve had it over 5 years and still going strong."
·
"I have a Sonicare and was told at my last dental cleaning that my hygiene is perfect!"
·
"Sonicare. It’s recommended by every dentist I go to and I’ve had mine for 5+ years now with no problems."
·
"I love my Sonicare."
·
"Love my sonicare. Going 3 years if not longer with no issues."

Oral-B

4.2
(18)
"Braun OralB 15 years, good as new"
·
"The io version, as a 10-year user of the 5000 and then 1000 series and now a 1 year user of the io3, is wildly better."
·
"I’ve used an oral-b in combination with a waterpik and my mouth has never been healthier."
·
"It often lasts me 4-5 years at least."
·
"Yup, been using Oral-B for years and it’s always best practice to remove the head post wash to rinse the head and stem."
·
"Oral B is my fav. I tried phillips sonicare and I dont love the brush head."
·
"Oral-B is far superior at cleaning the gumline."
·
"Seconding Oral-B. My friends who used Sonicare had more dental issues despite doing everything they were supposed to."
·
"Most dentist recommend Oral-B by Braun toothbrushes."
·
"P&G through the Oral-B brand. Braun are also quite good."

GrandeLash

4.3
(6)
"Here to third Grandelash. Never had a issue with them."
·
"Grande lash serum never experienced anything like it."
·
"Here to second everything you said about GrandeLash too."
·
"I used to use the GrandeLash one and it did work very well, but as others have mentioned it has prostaglandins which can cause orbital fat loss and are also just not good to get in your eyes."
·
"GrandeLash and RevitaLash worked great though."
·
"So the issue with ones like Grande Lash is the prostaglandins can cause orbital fat loss and hollowing around the eyes. In my experience they do work (I tried Grande lash and Obagi for awhile) but to me not worth the trade off."
#5

Eufy

4.0
(6)
"I now have an Eufy, software is v good and battery lasts months . I think this is worth the $199 it cost me"

·
"I have eufy and aside from the app having some translation quirks I would recommend it. Having had a battery doorbell for some time though I really would recommend hardwiring if you can."
·
"+1 for Eufy. I really like their doorbell camera with the 2 cameras. Integrates nicely with their home base and their additional cameras."
·
"Eufy doorbell (wired) it’s working well for me. Followed instructions and integrated it with my existing doorbell."
·
"New house I bought I installed an Eufy Video Doorbell (Wired) S330 and so far it's decent."

·
"Away. Lifetime guarantee."
