If Apple Made a Toothbrush…

If Apple Made a Toothbrush…


so today I’ve got in front of me a toothbrush electric toothbrush from a company called lifein and when they first reached out to me I was curious about not just this product but their entire lineup of products because I had heard about them on social media you probably have as well it started with this hair dryer right here the Swift very similar to some other expensive hair dryers now myself I don’t have as much of a need for a hair dryer however those that have tested this have seemed to indicate that it is surprisingly powerful for the cost so what lyen is aiming to do in a number of different consumer electronics areas is to just bring something a little bit more affordable but still feeling premium and not just premium in the product experience but also in the unboxing experience and the unboxing experience for the toothbrush is one of the most Apple like unboxing experience that I’ve personally seen in a product that is not an Apple product that’s also kind of apple esque with the way that it’s wrapped in paper so their hair dryer is utilizing some fairly modern tech and it’s ble to kind of shrink the head of the hairdyer significantly in order to achieve that anyway that’s not what we’re talking about here today I just wanted to give a little bit of backstory their next product which is in front of me here the toothbrush so the one in front of me is stainless steel they’ve also got a white polished plastic look and then there’s a brushed one as well I think we have them all over here so we’ll do a comparison essentially what they added with this toothbrush is a type of oscillation which I haven’t seen before on other toothbrushes as you know if you’ve ever used an electric toothbrush you’ve got one that kind of spins you’ve got got another one that vibrates in the case of this device here you have it actually in a brushing motion you can kind of notice that brush head moving up and down so the other thing I should mention real quick is that everything is kind of sealed off you can rinse the entire brush without a lot of concern of water going into different crevices and things like that there just aren’t that many it’s kind of like a sealed off unit so before we get into the main portion of the unboxing you actually get even an apple like exterior box as well so these are the two slightly more premium ones I guess based on the materials that are in use actually the one that I’ve been using at home is the plastic model which also feels pretty premium too it’s got that kind of glossy white color to it let’s go ahead and start with the brush and then we’ll move over to the stainless and we’ll talk about some of the different heads you can install on here now this is almost exactly like an Apple product here with these pull tabs and even the green color on the arrows [Music] another green pull tap satisfying quite satisfying the only thing that’s exposed is at the very top just where you attach your brush head otherwise this touch sensitive button is a recessed but it is not a cutout so it’s completely sealed and the same thing goes around the whole body of the unit the only thing you’re going to see on the bottom is the three contact points for the magnetic charging it’s actually magsafe it will remind you almost exactly of a magsafe charger in including the braided cable obviously some manufacturers include like an external charge base and there are some benefits to that it’s always got a place to go however they do tend to get a little bit dirty every time you place your toothbrush back on it’s one more thing you got to kind of watch out for from a hygiene perspective and then also for travel this is about as Slim as you’re going to be able to get they’ve taken a different approach they’ve gone for portability and obviously magnets which I’m typically a fan of magnets and the other thing is you don’t actually charge it that often so I’ve been using it for maybe like a month I think I’ve charged it once maybe twice otherwise we’ve got a little bit of paperwork and then lastly we have some brush heads to get us started one of them is blue and white and purple U is ultra whitening brush Head super clean brush head and then also Gum Care so three different options obviously you can pick your favorite and I guess order more of those or you can keep a variety pack it looks like you can actually buy the kit as a three pack M now that was satisfying so this is the way that the brush heads are going to be packed when you purchase a three pack okay so let’s go ahead now and compare the stainless model to the brushed model and you guys can let me know which one you have a preference for unboxing experience once again elegant Apple like and the funny thing is I don’t think that this company is bothered by the Apple comparisons I think that’s exactly like they’re fully aware that that’s what they’re going going for and it’s the type of experience they want you to have with a toothbrush which is not an experience I expected nor do I expect Apple to ever make a toothbrush so this might be as close as you get so this is the most premium of the bunch they actually do have a slightly different price point so the stainless being the most expensive of the bunch and then in the middle is the brushed and then the plastic model is the entry point $89.99 and 129 it does feel premium in your hand like it’s cold to the touch like you would expect from stainless material and it’s grippy a little more grippy than the brushed but again it’s a preference maybe you want something that’s really shiny and flashy or maybe you want something a little bit more subdued you have those options otherwise the unboxing experience is the same you have the same magnetic charge cable as well as your USB c2a adapter and the same three brush heads and the performance is going to be the same too best bang for your buck you just get the plastic one but if you want the most premium model you can go for the stainless steel historically electric toothbrush brushes have moved in a handful of different ways obviously there’s the rotational which you’ve seen I don’t know if that was the original but you’ve definitely seen it it just spins in a circle and then you’ve also got kind of ultrasonic vibrations this one does vibrate too but then it’s also got this kind of brush stroke looking movement which is unique for the space so if I turn this on essentially this is mimicking a typical brush stroke a kind of up and down brush stroke that’s what you’re getting there this 60° oscillation range is is apparently three times wider than some other competing brands that make similar movements with this amount of movement you can easily see that brush stroke like pattern it’s also got something called airplane mode in it so if you do travel with it and you don’t want to turn it on by accident in your bag you can actually trigger airplane mode the airplane icon there will illuminate and it won’t be able to be turned on unless you want it to in which case you will push and hold the power switch in order to overcome the airplane mode successful okay so we are currently connected to the toothbrush because of course your 2024 toothbrush should also have an app and within the app is where you will find your opportunity to calibrate your toothbrush or update the firmware and check out the different mode I can dial in my vibration strength all the way from a level one it was at a three by default all the way up to a level 10 and I can take my oscillation range so that’s the amount that it creates that swipe motion and I can go there from 1 all the way up to 10 and then my oscillation speed that can go all the way up to 10 as well so that’s currently going to be at my one setting let’s see if it takes right away oh yeah that unit go if I switch to mode two see it chills out a little bit flight mode you can trigger from the app or just from the device it makes a little beep you don’t want to get to your destination and then your toothbrush is dead because it’s just been running in the bag or somebody thinks it’s some kind of dangerous item that’s a good smart feature I can even turn on the toothbrush from the app I’m not sure how often I would need to do that but I can’t I like that I can check the battery even though you can check the battery here as well there is a battery indicator it will change colors depending on how much battery life you have remaining so as mentioned I’ve been using this toothbrush now for I think it’s at least a month I find the experience to be quite enjoyable what I’m looking for is a little bit of strength in there I like to feel like I just brushed my teeth I’m not one of these people that typically selects for like the Ultra Soft I want to get in there I want to get in there that’s what I’ve been able to do with this toothbrush and really I haven’t found myself wishing that I could have my old toothbrush back unfortunately for some reason will gave me the plastic model where now I I want one of these metal ones cool to the touch but the biggest difference I think for me at least is just this the amount of movement per rotation because it really means that you move around in your mouth a lot less so you’re kind of just directing the toothbrush to the of locations and it’s getting a real scrub going to be fair I haven’t really messed around with the app too much I haven’t felt the need to I do like the airplane mode and the ability to travel with the super easy cable and then the other best part is just from the hygiene perspective it’s the huge other drawback of electric toothbrushes when people don’t keep them clean with this being ip7 the entire unit can withstand being submerged in water for up to 1 M so just dunk it rinse it clean it like this is the only portion separate from the main body just up there and you can easily wipe that down and then you’re done another thing I should mention is the weight of these devices so they do get heavier slightly as you get up to the more premium models stainless steel model is 163 G the aluminum alloy is 151 G and the ABS the sort of polished plastic is 135 G so there you have it a brand new toothbrush from a new tech company newi is tech company that’s why I asked them to send over their haird dryer as well because they’re making some moves in this space personal height consumer electronics and I was curious about the fit and finish and it looks like at least based on my exposure that it’s for real like this stuff feels solid the unboxing experience you saw for yourself and the fact that I’ve been using it for about a month now a month is not a year so take that for what it is these are some pretty nice put together toothbrushes that I think you will be interested in we have the stainless steel the aluminum alloy and we’ve also got the ABS plastic let me know in the comments which one you would pick obviously you get a discount if you go for the ABS and you pay a little bit more if you want the premium in the stainless [Music] steel
