Tao Clean UV Sanitizing Sonic Toothbrush and Cleaning Station Electric Toothbrush Dual Speed Setting White

The positive reviews concerning the distinctive clean feel even after the first use are all true. As a matter of fact, almost all positive reviews on this item are somewhat accurate. I would like to focus on the details that I searched for and couldn’t find on reviews both written or in video format. They may seem like “cons” but I must add that for me they were not deal breakers. Instead I’d like to think of them as constructive criticism, since they are details that I would like to see on later generations of this item. Cable management: It is difficult to tell the power source and cable situation from all the photos and videos online, which are edited for aesthetic purposes. I kind of knew what the set up would be from previous experiences with other electronic devices so I knew what to expect. However, for those who are expecting the same sleek, cable-free look from the photos online please take note that if your bathroom has power outlets above the sink area, like most homes in america, there will be a cable bunch up on your countertop. Even if the cable is wound up and tied together, it may still be an atrocious sight for that OCD gem in your home, who probably spends a lot of time at the sink. Power Adaptor: Once plugged in, the power adaptor sticks out over three and a quarter inches from the power outlet, yet another design flaw. With the amount of compact usb adaptors available this shouldn’t be difficult to correct since the company would only need to replace one part. Power adaptor plug: The placement of the power socket on the base station is a bit awkward and creates a distance of about two and a half inches from the wall or backsplash. I have similar electronics with the power socket located below the item, which makes for a neater appearance and freedom to push the item flush to the wall when necessary. Other small details that the shopper should be aware of is the size of the item and color of the brush handle. Please take a closer look and notice that the brush handle is two toned. I think it looks good but, anyone expecting it to be solid white will be thoroughly disappointed. Also, please double check the dimensions of this item and know that it is not a compact design. Definitely not for a countertop where space is at a premium. With all that being said…or typed; I would like to reiterate that all these may seem like “cons” but they really are small details that everyone should know to ensure that they are completely happy with their purchase upon receipt. So, In conclusion this item would be perfect if it was a bit more compact, and the cable/power adaptor issue was resolved. With the portable power core technology available now a days I don’t see why we shouldn’t expect a wireless base station that could hold a charge for a few days in the near future. If you made it this far, thanks for taking the time to read and I hope this helped out even just a lil bit. Bitty boppity, give me the zoppity! Read more

I love this toothbrush. I think it gets your teeth cleaner than any other toothbrush I’ve used. It has a great holder, so your toothbrush isn’t sticking up and gets full of goop. It has UV sanitizing light and it also works as a nightlight in addition it looks great on the bathroom counter. We purchased one for each other. Read more

I have been using my Tao brush for a couple of months and really love it. It cleans well and is easy to use. I like the drying and sanitizing features on it and that it stores inside to protect it. Read more

I thought this toothbrush wasn’t working and I was beyond the return window. I spoke to the company and they were so helpful! After their help, it seems my toothbrush is cleaning properly. They also told me there is a lifetime warranty on it. My apologies to the people I spoke to at Amazon complaining it wasn’t working and I couldn’t get my money back. I’m embarrassed, but I really do like my Tao toothbrush. I really like the way it looks, too! Read more

I love my toothbrush! My teeth are so clean after using my brush! I also don’t wake up with dry mouth in the morning or bad breath! Best purchase I have made this year! Read more

I've tried many electric toothbrushes over the years and have (until now) returned to my standard brush. Not this time! It's a keeper. I can't believe how clean it got my teeth! I have relied on my professional oral cleanings to remove the tea stains. I dont have to worry anymore! This sonic brush gets the tea stains OFF and my teeth are bright! It vibrates so fast it is nearly imperceptible to the eye, but boy can you feel it. There are 2 setting, low and high, with corresponding pitch. I am less tolerant of the high setting as my teeth are a bit sensitive, but the low setting is fine for general use. The high setting blasts those stains! Every time I use this brush, I feel like I just got out of the dental chair. It's THAT good. The design is sleek and looks great on the counter. The handle is easy to hold and easy to manipulate. It only comes with one brush, which I think is stingy of them as the replacement brushes are a bit expensive. I have seen some off-brand replacement brushes but I dont know how compatible they are. The auto dry and sanitation is a great feature. It cycles when you put the brush back into the base. The little lighted "Saturns" turn from white to blue when it is sanitizing both on the unit and on the end of the brush. I think the power cord is a little short. It has a timer function and gives you a signal to move to a different quadrant of your mouth. It shuts off automatically but you can hit the power button and turn it right back on if you are not finished. You dont need much toothpaste and you dont need to use a brushing motion. Simply lay it on your tooth surfaces and let it do all the work. I have some pitting on my molar surfaces that I often cannot clean with a standard brush, but this one gets everything remarkably clean. I have gold crowns and one permanent implant, and this brush does not irritate them at all. A bonus is that I can also use it (without toothpaste) on my bite splint to get it very clean. PROS: Sleek design, sanitizing, very effective at removing stains and plaque, ease of use, low and high settings. CONS: High setting may not work with sensitive teeth, replacement brushes are expensive, short cord. Overall I am really pleased especially after trying so many alternatives. Not going back to a standard toothbrush! This one is amazing. Read more

I love the design of this toothbrush. My only complaint is that the brush head surprisingly loses bristles quickly. I would say every third time I brush, I get a stray bristle that lifts and needs to be pulled. I didn’t expect that at this price point. It started losing bristles on day one of using. I have only had it two weeks so I am hoping a replacement head won’t have the same issue. Read more
