7 design secrets behind the quip Ultra Electric Toothbrush

Read on to uncover the 7 clever features that make this rechargeable toothbrush worth the switch from your old manual toothbrush.

The future of oral wellness has arrived.

Think the best electric toothbrush is all about performance? Turns out, looks matter too, and we’ve nailed both with the quip Ultra Smart Sonic Electric Toothbrush. With its killer cleaning skills (aka 15x more plaque removal1 and 2x more whitening within one week2) and breakthrough design, quip Ultra is a brush you’ll actually look forward to using twice a day. Plus, it’ll get a gold star from your dentist. 

Read on to uncover the 7 clever features that make this rechargeable toothbrush worth the switch from your old manual toothbrush.

1. More (human) than meets the eye

Every mouth is different, so why settle for a one-size-fits-all toothbrush? quip Ultra gets it. Its simple, minimalist design meets personalized power, offering 10+ intensity settings for a tailored routine:

  • Sensitive – Kind on gums, tough on plaque
  • Daily mode – Fresh breath and clean teeth all day
  • Deep clean – Maximum power when you need it


⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “You can easily adjust the intensity of the brush to find what works best and is the most comfortable.” —LNS2389

And unlike bulky brushes that can feel clumsy, the slim, ergonomic handle of quip Ultra fits comfortably in your hand. You can also pair this smart electric toothbrush with our free quip app for iOS and Android to track your brushing habits and get tips. Think of it as your personal oral health coach!

2. EasyClick Brush Pod with a lot less plastic

Traditional electric toothbrush heads can be wasteful and bad for the planet. But not quip Ultra’s. Our innovative bristle-only brush pod produces 70% less waste3 and directs vibrations where they matter most, for a more effective clean. And when it’s time for a refresh, swapping pods is as satisfying as popping bubble wrap:

  • Pop – Release the pod with a thumb press
  • Twist – Remove the old bristles and toss
  • Lock – Drop in a new pod, turn, & push down

3. Seamless unibody = no gunk, no fuss

Hard-to-reach areas between the handle and electric toothbrush replacement head can be a breeding ground for bacteria. That’s where quip Ultra shines. Its sleek, unibody construction leaves no gaps for gunk to hide. Every inch is smooth, making clean-up a quick wipe. No mess, no stress! 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “The seamless design from the brush head to the body makes keeping it clean super easy, no more build up.” —Sam U.

4. Silicone that’s soft to the touch (and tooth)

Tired of the same old harsh, uncomfortable plastic? Us too. That’s why we swapped in soft silicone for quip Ultra — a triple threat material you’ve got to see (and feel) to believe:

  • Feels good – Soft on teeth, comfy in hand
  • Cleans easy – Wipes down in seconds, no buildup
  • Looks amazing – Adds a modern touch to any bathroom

5. Stunning light bar swipe control 

Forget old-fashioned push buttons. The moment you grab quip Ultra, the dynamic LED touch bar lights up like magic. But this design choice is more than just a pretty face — it’s packed with practical features too:

  • Two-minute timer – Dentist-recommended brushing, made easy
  • Brush intensity – Swipe to find your perfect vibration setting
  • Pressure sensor – Alerts you if you’re brushing too hard
  • Charge status – Never get caught with a dead brush again

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Unbelievable! The dynamic vibration control makes sure my teeth have never felt cleaner! Never going back to another brush.” —Conor H.

6. Round to edge out the competition

Sharp-cornered toothbrushes and charging docks love holding onto water, toothpaste, and debris — providing a damp environment where bacteria and germs can thrive. Over time, this buildup can lead to unwanted grime, unpleasant odors, and even potential hygiene concerns.

quip Ultra is different. Designed with smooth, rounded edges on the brush, stand, and mount, it prevents residue from getting trapped in hard-to-reach spots. No more scrubbing or digging into awkward nooks. Minimal effort, maximum cleanliness.

7. Convenient accessories for home and travel

quip Ultra isn’t just a top-notch travel toothbrush with up to a 30-day charge4 — it’s a home essential too, thanks to its handy accessories. And at just $100, you’re getting serious value when you shop electric toothbrushes:

  • Mirror mount – Space-saving magnetic electric toothbrush holder
  • Stand & base – Easy to clean, drain keeps water from pooling
  • Magnetic charger cable – Nifty electric toothbrush USB charger
  • Travel case – With breathable vents for hygienic storage

You’ve probably never given much thought to the design of your toothbrush, but now that you’ve peeked behind the curtain, you can’t unsee it! And if you’re still comparing electric toothbrush vs manual, quip Ultra’s smart design and effective features check all the boxes. Just look at these electric toothbrush reviews ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️:
