Smile Brilliant cariPRO Ultrasonic Electric Toothbrush Review

I received a product sample in order to complete this post. Any opinions expressed are my own.

Years ago I used a rechargeable electric toothbrush from another brand.  It worked fine but one of the reasons I stopped using it was the big recharging base took up space and the replacement toothbrush heads were ridiculously expensive.  When Smile Brilliant offered for me to try their cariPRO Ultrasonic Electric toothbrush I wanted to check out their website first.

 

 

The charging base looks small but is it really? 

When I looked at the website it looked like the charging base was quite small. We’re a family of 6, space is at a premium in our house so that was important to me.  The base actually is quite small, approximately 2 inches wide.  You don’t have to leave the base out all the time though because the charge last a long time.

How long does the charge last?

Charging is easy. You just plug the base into an outlet and set your toothbrush on the base.  The charge light will glow red while charging until fully charged when it will turn green.  If you’re in a hurry you only need to charge your brush for a few minutes to brush your teeth. When it’s fully charged however the charge lasts for up to 30 days with twice a day brushing.

What are the features of the cariPRO Ultrasonic electric toothbrush? 

The cariPRO Ultrasonic electric toothbrush has 5 different settings: clean, white, massage, gum care, and sensitive.  I have sensitive teeth but wanted to try all the settings.  I found, for me, I liked the clean setting and gum care setting the best. The sensitive setting had a “tickle” feeling to me.

The cariPRO is also waterproof so no worries if it gets wet or even if you want to brush your teeth in the shower.  Hey I’m not judging.

The brush runs for 2 minutes with a pause every 30 seconds to change areas in your mouth.

The cariPRO has smooth, almost satin-like feel making it comfortable to hold it in your hand.

60 day trial – you get to try it in your home for 60 days, if you don’t like it, ship it back and get your money back.  There is also a 2 year warranty!

The brush heads also have a tongue scraper on the back.

How much does it cost?

A valid question.  There are 3 different packages available for the cariPRO Ultrasonic electric toothbrush on the Smile Brilliant site.

  1. Individual package – this is what I got to review.  I received the cariPRO, one charging base, and 2 brush heads.  This package runs $119.  Shipping is free.
  2. Deluxe package – you get one cariPRO, one charging base and 4 brush heads. If you change your brush heads every 6 months that works out to 2 years worth of brush heads.  This package is $129 with free shipping.
  3. Couples package – this one is definitely the best deal when you compare the prices to the other packages.  You get 2 yes TWO cariPRO electric toothbrushes, 2 charging bases, and 4 brush heads.  that breaks down to each person getting a toothbrush, 2 brush heads and a charging base for only $99.50 each since the couples package is $199 with free shipping.

All packages have a 60 day trial and 2 year warranty along with free shipping

Yea but how much are the Smile Brilliant replacement electric toothbrush heads? 

This is where I was really impressed.

  • You can get 2 replacement toothbrush heads for $13 and free shipping.  That’s $6.50 per toothbrush head
  • A better deal, get 4 replacement toothbrush heads for $23. That breaks down to $5.75 per toothbrush heads.
  • Best deal, get 8 replacement toothbrush heads for $43 that’s $5.38 per brush head.

Why should I use an electric toothbrush over a regular toothbrush?

I asked the same question.  You can check the Smile Brilliant FAQ Here.  The short of it is, it’s 7X more effective at removing plaque than a manual toothbrush.  For me, another benefit is the fact that it runs for 2 minutes.  Admittedly, I don’t always brush my teeth for two minutes with a manual. The cariPRO electric toothbrush runs for 2 minutes so it makes it easy to do that.  The cariPRO can also help improve gum health.   In my personal opinion, I also like the feel of the cariPRO electric toothbrush on my gums. It’s sort of like a masseuse for my mouth.

This is me first thing in the morning legitimately using the toothbrush. No make up, bed head, baggy eyes and all lol

What is it missing?

This is a matter of opinion. Because it runs for 2 minutes and only gives a brief, second pause to change quadrants in the mouth, I’d like to see a couple second break after 1 minute to spit.  I know that’s gross but I have a sensitive gag reflex.  I either have to try to spit with it running in my mouth or take it out of my mouth to spit and have it splatter on the mirror.  I’ve tried to hold off until it was done running but I end up gagging lol.

Where can I get one? 

Go to the Smile Brilliant website and use code: angiewith2-20 to get 20% off your very own cariPRO Ultrasonic electric toothbrush!

You’re
going to effing love him!

 

A
bad boy, enemies-to-lovers, office, roommate romance.

 

 

I’m
Carly.

 

A
nice girl. A nice girl who has recently figured out that nice girls
get the shaft. So, I’ve decided to become Carly 2.0 and say buh-byeCarly 1.0, the doormat.

 

 

There’s
a problem, though. An alphahole is my new roommate and my CEO’s
son. He’s also my boss and the alphahole is gunning to ruin
me.

 

Alphahole:
A grade-A alpha male asshole.

 

The
epitome? Aiden Carmichael.

drift.

 

Good
thing the new me has decided to fight back and if push comes to
shove, fight dirty.

 

 

I’m

Or
so the chick my father put in my corporate apartment and my
department at the office calls me. Whatever. She’s got spunk. And a
great rack. She tries to come off as a badass, but I see right
through the act. If she’s gonna tangle with me, she’ll be the one to
get tied up in knots. It won’t be me.

 

I
have no problem fighting and as far as I’m concerned, the dirtier the
better.

Jenna Jaxon
is a multi-published author of historical and contemporary romance.
She has just finished her fifth full length novel, To Woo A Wicked
Widow, set in Regency England and the first book in her five part
series, The Widow’s Club.
Jenna has been reading and writing historical romance since she was
a teenager. A romantic herself, she has always loved a dark side to the genre, a twist, suspense, a surprise.
She tries to incorporate all of these elements into her own stories. She lives in Virginia with her family
and a small menagerie of pets. When not reading or writing, she indulges her passion for the theatre,
working with local theatres as a director. She often feels she is directing her characters on their own
private stage.
She has equated her writing to an addiction to chocolate because once she starts she just can’t
stop.

Angelina Jameson

Born in Las Vegas, NV, I
joined the air force to see the world. An
assignment to England kindled my love of the Regency era and prompted my dream to publish the stories
in my head. I love to write with a steady supply of coffee nearby and one of my three cats on my lap.
I currently live in Alaska with my husband and two teenage boys and wish I had the attention span to be a
better cook.
Nadine Millard is
a bestselling writer hailing from Dublin, Ireland.
When she’s not writing
historical romance, she’s managing her chaotic household of three children, a husband and a very spoiled
dog!
She’s a big fan of coffee
and wine with a good book and will often be found at her laptop at 2am when a book idea strikes.
Tabetha Waite is
the multi-award winning author of the Ways of Love
Series. Her debut novel, “Why the Earl is After the Girl,” was published in July of 2016 and won the 2017
Best Indie Book Award in Romance and the 2018 Second Place Feathered Quill Book Award
in Romance. She is a certified PAN member of the RWA. When she’s not writing, Tabetha is reading, as
true bookworms do, or checking out any antique mall she comes across. During the school year she
works as a lunch attendant at the local community college. She is a small town, Missouri girl, born and
bred, and continues to make her home in the Midwest with her husband and two wonderful daughters.
You can find her on most
any social media site, and she encourages any fans of her work to join her mailing list for
updates.

Annabelle Anders
Married to the same man
for over 25 years, I am a mother to three children and two Miniature Wiener dog.
After owning a business
and experiencing considerable success, my husband and I got caught in the financial crisis and lost
everything; our business, our home, even our car.
At this point, I put my
B.A. in Poly Sci to use and took work as a waitress and bartender.
Unwilling to give up on
a professional life, I simultaneously went back to college and obtained a degree in Energy
Management.
And then the energy
market dropped off.

And then my dog

died.

I can only be grateful for
this series of unfortunate events, for, with nothing to lose and completely demoralized, I sat down and
began to write the romance novels which had until then, existed only my imagination.
I am happy to have found
my place in life.
Finally.
Anna Bradley is
an RT Reviewer’s Choice award-winning author of Regency Historical Romances. Anna came by her love
of the regency-era the usual way–via a deep, abiding love for Jane Austen, and an appreciation for
gentlemen in breeches and polished Hessians.
Anna’s next book, MORE
OR LESS A TEMPTRESS, releases on November 13, 2018.
Anna lives with her husband and two children in Portland, OR, where people are delightfully weird and
love to read.
