This is a great travel toothbrush. You should buy it.
Pros:- It works very nearly as well as my larger, more powerful Braun electric toothbrush, and that's saying something.- I've found the battery life to be excellent. I have about 50 brushing sessions (and counting) on the original AAA battery, and it's still going strong.- It's extremely packable (but see the con below about the power switch). The cover is exactly the right size and fit, and it packs into my small toiletry bag very well.Cons:- It's easy to press the power button by accident because it sticks out from the side of the handle. While it's never (to my knowledge) accidentally started up while in my luggage, electronics designed for travel should have recessed power buttons.- The toothbrush head itself is a little big. I have a full-sized adult male mouth, and I find it a little awkward getting this toothbrush into places like behind my lower and upper front teeth. It does get in there, but it's awkward.Why I've come to really like this toothbrush:I normally use an electric toothbrush (from Braun), but it's really bigger than I'd like to take traveling. Plus, it's charger requires an AC outlet, and I just don't want to travel with all that. So I've typically traveled with just a regular, manual toothbrush. BUT using an electric toothbrush for many years has really spoiled me. I know exactly how to brush my teeth, but a manual toothbrush just doesn't do as good a job as an electric toothbrush.Reading other reviews of this Voom Sonic toothbrush, I really wasn't sure it would do the trick, so I tried it out for a couple of weeks before my 2-week vacation. My main concerns were efficacy and battery life. Well, it worked great. My teeth didn't feel skuzzy waking up in the morning. I'd planned to put in a new battery immediately before leaving, but I'd noticed no reduction in efficacy during my 2-week trial period, so I figured I'd chance it. (Plus, I knew I could buy AAA batteries in Scotland.) I also expected a bargain-basement battery to be shipped with the toothbrush. But the battery they shipped got through the 2-week pre-trip trial, the 2-week vacation, and has continued over the week since we've been back. That's 5 weeks of consistent use with no reduction in power that I can feel. I've brushed every night before bed, and I'd estimate I've brushed a little over half the mornings. That's about 50 brushing sessions on one battery. I'm very pleased with this and fairly amazed. (And I *still* haven't felt the need to replace the original battery.)So I'd certainly recommend this as a travel toothbrush. It packs well and absolutely does the job of getting my teeth clean. If I had to find something negative about the Voom Sonic toothbrush, I'd prefer a button that isn't so easy to press by mistake. I'm not aware the toothbrush has ever come on in my luggage, but electronics designed for travel should have recessed power buttons. BUT, since this hasn't been an actual, real-world problem for me personally, I'm not going to subtract a star for that.

Better than name brand!
I recently started invisalign and have been looking for a decent travel electric toothbrush. I started with the Sonicare one and then tried Quip. I was very disappointed in both. I knew that I wouldn't find one that was as good as my at home Sonicare because all the travel ones run on a AAA battery, but I was hoping to find one that didn't seem like the vibration was useless and I could just be brushing normally.I decided to give this one a try, and I so happy I did! The smaller handle means that more of the vibration makes in to the brush and I feel like it's actually doing something. Again it doesn't replace a good at home electric toothbrush, but if your looking for a small travel one I absolutely recommend this one over the name brands. Also it's way more affordable!! Total win!

Good for price point
After getting aligners that require brushing after every meal I needed a discrete toothbrush. This is a good size, do wish it was a little smaller and it’s nice that it comes with a battery. The head itself is pretty cheap, the plastic is pretty lightweight and the bristles are stiff. The vibration is pretty soft but all in all it’s fine for a quick brush in a public bathroom. Wouldn’t recommend as your primary brush or anything but good for what it is.

Inexpensive light toothbrush for travel
This product has half the power of the Phillips toothbrush (still quite powerful enough). But it costs much less, and is much smaller and lighter. In fact, 2 of these brushes (including spare batteries and heads) take up less space and weigh less than one Phillips plus charger, so these are our travel brushes. It's easier to change a battery than to find the right outlet for charging on international travel. Compact head and soft bristles are what our dentist recommends. We leave our larger sonic brushes on our counter at home.

Brush cud b stiffer
Purchased this to replace a similar one I bot 10 years ago that had a rubber on/off button & that fell apart after so many years of use. This one vibrates more per min & has a timer which is why I purchased this one. Love the purple color. Just wish the brush was a bit stiffer & it could handle a bit of pressure; vibration doesn’t work when a bit of pressure is applied.
