My Family Tried AutoBrush’s Crazy Electric Toothbrush – Here’s What Happened
When I first saw the AutoBrush pop up in a parenting Facebook group, it looked more like a gadget from a sci-fi movie than something to clean teeth. A full-mouth, hands-free electric toothbrush that promises to brush all your teeth in 30 seconds? Too good to be true—or so I thought.
In 2025, our family of four (two adults, two kids under 10) put the AutoBrush to the test for a full month. Here’s our honest, no-fluff review—complete with the fun, the frustrations, and whether we’ll keep using it.
🤯 First Impressions: Looks Like a Toy, Acts Like a Gadget
When the AutoBrush kits arrived, the kids were immediately excited. With its U-shaped mouthpiece, LED lights, and silly animal-themed designs for children, it definitely looked fun.
For adults, the sleeker version felt more like a high-tech mouthguard. No buttons to hold, no scrubbing motion required—you just bite, press, and wait.
👨👩👧👦 How It Worked for the Whole Family
🧒 For the Kids:
AutoBrush turned tooth brushing into a game. My 5-year-old daughter, who usually squirms and complains, actually reminded us it was time to brush.
- Pros:
- 30-second brushing time was perfect for short attention spans
- LED lights with built-in “germ-zapping” blue light added a cool factor
- Silicone bristles were soft, so no complaints about pain or pressure
- Cons:
- You still need to brush the tongue and rinse properly
- If not positioned correctly, some teeth don’t get cleaned as thoroughly
👨🦰 For the Adults:
As an adult, I was skeptical—but curious. After using it twice daily, I found it surprisingly refreshing, though I still needed a regular brush a few times a week for a “deep clean” feeling.
- Pros:
- Convenient during rushed mornings or late-night routines
- Less gum irritation compared to my old electric brush
- Encouraged more consistent brushing
- Cons:
- Doesn’t replace flossing or tongue cleaning
- Takes a few tries to get the right mouthpiece fit
- Not as thorough on back molars unless you position it perfectly
🧪 Cleanliness Test: Does It Really Work?
We used disclosing tablets to see how well AutoBrush cleaned compared to our manual and electric brushes. For the kids, it removed 80–85% of plaque—better than their usual brushing habits. For adults, it scored around 70–75%, especially when paired with floss and a tongue scraper.
So while it isn’t 100% perfect, it’s way better than brushing in a rush (or not at all).
💲 Is It Worth the Price?
- AutoBrush for Adults: ~$129
- AutoBrush for Kids: ~$99
- Subscription Gel & Head Replacements: Optional, ~$20/month
Bottom line: It’s not cheap—but if you’ve got kids who hate brushing or adults who skip it often, it’s probably worth it. We now use AutoBrush as our daily go-to, and regular brushes twice a week for backup.
🟢 Final Verdict: Fun, Useful, Not a Total Replacement
AutoBrush isn’t a gimmick—it’s a creative, family-friendly solution that makes brushing easier and more enjoyable. It’s not going to replace your dentist-recommended habits entirely, but it’s a great addition—especially for kids or busy mornings.
Would we recommend it? Yes—for families who want convenience, fun, and fewer brush-time battles. Just don’t toss your floss or regular brush just yet.
