Which powerful sonic toothbrush is right for you?

If you’re choosing between Ultra and Ultra Lite, you’re already looking at two thoughtfully designed sonic toothbrushes built to deliver a powerful, effective clean.

Ultra Lite: powerful clean, thoughtfully simple

Ultra Lite is designed to be uncompromising — a minimal, lightweight electric toothbrush that’s easy to use. It offers three essential intensities, Gentle, Daily, and Deep Clean, so you can brush effectively without overthinking settings. 

 

Despite its slimmer, more rounded form, Ultra Lite delivers 15x more plaque removal between teeth* and includes a guiding pressure sensor to help protect gums, as well as a 2-minute timer, and up to a 30-day charge. 

 

With soft, gunk-free silicone covering the neck and button controls, Ultra Lite is a minimalist sonic toothbrush with a slightly smaller, lighter feel. It’s also the more accessible option, priced at $60, built to be an everyday electric toothbrush — at home, in your gym bag, or on the go.

 

Ultra: advanced tech with full customization

quip Ultra takes a more feature-rich approach. It offers 10+ intensities, controlled through an LED touch bar and enhanced by smart features and app connectivity. Ultra allows for deeper customization and coaching, making it ideal for brushers who want more data, feedback, and control.

 

Ultra’s larger, more elliptical shaped handle is wrapped completely in soft, seamless silicone for a refined, premium feel. Like Ultra Lite, it delivers 15x more plaque removal between teeth,* a pressure sensor, timer, and up to a 30-day charge. Ultra’s price reflects the more premium touches and tech at $100, designed for those who want the most advanced quip experience.

What they share

Both brushes are built with the same design philosophy to be an eco-friendly electric toothbrush. Each uses EasyClick Brush Pods, where only the bristles are replaced — resulting in 70% less waste and making both options a more sustainable sonic toothbrush choice. The Brush Pods are fully compatible across Ultra and Ultra Lite hardware, so switching your travel brush to the Ultra Lite or getting refills for the entire family with a multipack is seamless.

 

Both also deliver long-lasting battery life, powerful sonic performance, and a guided clean that’s effective without feeling harsh.




Design, colors, and feel

Ultra Lite comes in four nature-inspired shades, with a fifth color (Clay) launching later. Its aesthetic is airy, modern, and intentionally minimal. Ultra offers five more refined, mature color options with a slightly more premium feel: metal touches and full silicone.

Which should you choose?

Choose Ultra Lite if you want a lightweight electric toothbrush that’s powerful, simple, and travel-ready. Choose Ultra if you’re looking for a sleek sonic toothbrush with smart features, app connectivity, and deeper customization.
