Why you'll love it: The Fairywill Sonic Electric Toothbrush proves that you don't need to spend a lot of money to get cleaner teeth and a brighter smile.
First, let's get the negatives out of the way, which will take a surprisingly small amount of time considering the surprisingly small price tag of the Fairywill Sonic Electric Toothbrush. This toothbrush does not have a revolving head like many popular models, but rather has bristles that vibrate. And said vibration is a bit too intense for some users. Also, the heads have a tendency to stop working properly much sooner than you would experience from hardware from pricier brands.
But really, that latter point is no big deal, considering this toothbrush comes with three heads in the package and is priced at less than a third of the cost of many comparable units. While you may prefer the rotating action of other models, the intense vibration of the bristles on a Fairywill toothbrush will indeed break up plaque and polish away at stains.
The toothbrush has the same 30-second interval timer we've all come to expect from our electric oral care devices, and can be operated in three different modes, which are Clean, Soft, and Massage. Each setting uses a different intensity of "micro-brushes," which basically means vibration speed. Clean, the most intense, delivers 35,000 micro-brushes per minute.
The toothbrush charges via a USB cable, so to use an outlet, you'll need an adapter. Those are quite cheap, but also a slight inconvenience if you need to procure one separately. But for the college kid (or anyone else) on a budget but with USB ports abounding, this is hardly an issue.
With more than 500 reviews posted on Amazon, the Fairywill Sonic Electric Toothbrush has earned the hearts of the crowd, scoring a shining 4.7-star review average. A satisfied customer named Bernie says he has "found a treasure" in this low-cost, highly effective toothbrush. A user named Harry appreciated that it featured "different modes of brushing."
A review from TheGeeklyNews called the Fairywill "capable of improving oral health" in as few as "14 days of regular use," while a writer from Heavy was impressed that the toothbrush "holds a charge for about a month." — Steven John
Pros: Great low price point, holds charge for days or even weeks, multiple vibration settings
