I’ve been using electric toothbrushes for years now, from multiple brands. Today’s I have with me a new electric toothbrush from Agaro, so how good is it and is it comparable to the brands I’ve used before? Watch on to find out.
This is the Agaro Cosmic Plus sonic electric toothbrush, Looks really premium. It’s ipx7 water resistant, and it has to be.
Rechargeable and has a 1 year warranty.
It has a variety of cleaning modes which we will look at in a bit. 40,000 strokes a minute, it will surely get all the dirt out from between your teeth.
Lot more specs are listed out at the back of the box, Interdental brush, which is equivalent to flossing, that I’m interested in. Let’s open the box and check the product out.
Open up the seal at the bottom of the box and it slides out like so. Everything is laid out well.
We have this USB to barrel port power cable. No wall adapter included, so you will need to use a USB charger of your own.
We have 4 standard bristle brush heads, and one interdental brush head.
We also have a cap for the brush heads. Nice.
This I like, it’s a travel case. It is made of plastic and has a nice texture to it. The lid is held down magnetically, and we have the main toothbrush within. Looks beautiful, and we have another standard brush head within. So, we have a total of 5 brush heads included.
The magnets on the case hold down the lid quite firmly, so no accidental opening when traveling.
Here’s the main toothbrush, we have this power button in front with a gold ring around it.
Tap on the button and the brush starts up. Whoa, that’s some vibration. 40,000 strokes per minute, that’s quite a lot.
Need to look at the manual. Tap on the button to switch between the various modes available.
Installing the brush head is quite simple, just slide it down and turn clockwise to lock it down. Similarly reverse the steps to detach the brush head. The brush head has W shaped Du’pont nylon bristles which would follow the contours of the mouth for a thorough cleaning.
Modes are
White mode, which helps in cleaning the surface of the teeth removing stains, clean mode helps with everyday cleaning of the teeth, Sensitive is for sensitive teeth & gums, Polish mode brightens & polishes your teeth and Massage mode helps massage your gums.
Once it reaches the massage mode, tap again and it turns off.
If you want to start in a certain mode again and not have to cycle through all the modes to turn it off, hold down the power button on that mode and when you turn it on again it starts out in the mode you turned the brush off in.
The manual does list the basic features and how to use the toothbrush, so make sure to read it.
Changing is handled via the provided USB cable, 25 days of usage is promised on a full charge. Connect the barrel port to the bottom of the brush and the other end to a usb charger.
You can use a power bank to charge the brush if you are traveling and forgot to charge it. It takes 4 hours to be charged completely.
Make sure to charge the brush completely before using. When the battery is full the red indicator light will turn off and charging will stop automatically.
Once cleaning has started, the toothbrush has an internal timer, it vibrates the brush at 30 second intervals up to a full 2 minutes for the four quadrants, to make sure we clean everything for the right amount of time. Do not push hard onto your teeth or gums, just place it softly on your teeth and move it around and let the brush head do the job for you. Gently move it front, back and the inside areas of your mouth. When using toothpaste, make sure you turn the brush on only after placing it in your mouth or you will have toothpaste everywhere. When it vibrates after 30 seconds, move to another section of your teeth. This prevents damaging your enamel.
This is how the vibration looks when placed in water. Cool.
99% plaque removal is promised by the manufacturer, I will have to check that out.
So why use an electric toothbrush? Well, for one it has a high vibration rate, which on this one is around 40,000 vibrations a second, so it can get rid of hard to remove dirt and plaque effectively keeping your teeth cleaner.
The small interdental brush helps get between your teeth to get rid of the tiny food particles lodged between them. I would have liked a speed control option, and it does take a bit getting used to when using it for the first time. Also I feel the brush head is much smaller than the electric brush I’m currently used to. It didn’t affect the performance in any way though. It comes with 4 replacement brush-heads out of the box which is a plus.
Being water resistant, it can be placed in your bathroom and there’s no fear if dunked in water. For the price this toothbrush is available at, it’s quite affordable and I have paid 3-4 times more for less features earlier from other brands. If you are keen on your oral hygiene the Agaro sonic toothbrush works really well, and it does help keep me away from the dentist for a little longer.
