This swing is completely customizable (with the app), so I was able to turn it off.
I didnt suffer with braces for two years to not take dental hygiene seriously.
Thats why Im trying to find thebest electric toothbrushes.
Now Ive put the Laifen Wave toothbrush to the test.
So how does it hold up?
Well, it does its primary job really well: it cleans teeth.
Objectively, yeah, its a good toothbrush.
Find out the details in this Laifen Wave toothbrush review.
(Laifen does not seem to have a U.K.-specific section of its website).
Various colors cost different amounts the aluminum (which I tested) is the aforementioned $79.
Plastic and stainless steel are $69 and $99 respectively.
This price is pretty good for an electric toothbrush with app connectivity.
I tested theOclean X Ultra S, which is $129.
Phillips does have a budget option, theSonicare 4100at just $49.
It doesnt have any app controls, but it is made of sustainable materials.
Laifen Wave toothbrush review: Design & features
The Laifen Wave is a pretty compact toothbrush.
Its just 5 12 inches tall, which means its easy to control in my hand.
The body is quite weighty, which got a little laborious towards the end of my testing.
The toothbrush I tested came with 6 brush heads; four white and two purple.
White is gum cleaning and purple is whitening.
The white heads feel like brushes ideal for those withverysensitive gums.
The Suri brush is IPX7 rated too.
The Laifen Wave also has app compatibility, which Ill discuss in the App section fully.
However, this app doesnt have as much usability as the Oclean app Ive used in the past.
Or, if they are recyclable, Laifen keeps awfully quiet about it.
However, I dont like that Im just trashing them.
I investigated for minutes before realizing the hum was coming from none other than my toothbrush.
Laifen Wave toothbrush review: App
Yes, surprise surprise, theres an app.
The app feels a little… understated.
I adjusted the swing to minimal and this was much more pleasant on my gums.
It behaved like a normal toothbrush again.
Why do I have to download another app to my phone to change this, though?
Why cant I long press/double press the power button to alter swing speed?
Im wary of products that rely so heavily on apps for basic functions.
With default options, I did not like this toothbrush at all.
For people with smaller teeth (I guess that must be me?
), the default oscillation is too much.
With the swing setting on minimum, I did really like using this toothbrush.
I fear the swing intensity might put other users off.
To test the plaque-cleaning efficiency, I chewed a purple disclosing tablet.
Alert: picture of my teeth incoming.
As you’re free to see, the only plaque left is between my two front teeth.
Or, even better, a non-app way to change this swing setting.
Laifen Wave toothbrush review: How does it compare?
The Laifen Wave is a good toothbrush, but I do think there are better ones out there.
This toothbrush is completely recyclable, and the company recycles the cornstarch brush heads for free.
Plus, it looks beautiful, and feels so nice in the hand.
I just think there are better brushes out there.
So Im not sure where this brush falls in the world of smart tech.
