The quip Ultra Smart Sonic Toothbrush has been awarded a 2025 TIME Best Inventions Award, recognized for its innovative design and accessibility. This accolade places it among 300 groundbreaking inventions that TIME deems to be significantly influencing daily life.
The award, announced on December 17, 2025, highlights the toothbrush’s sleek design and intuitive technology, providing professional-grade oral care at an accessible price. TIME editors and correspondents from around the globe evaluated nominees based on originality, efficacy, ambition, and overall impact.
Meredith Glansberg, CEO of quip, expressed pride in the recognition, emphasizing the company’s mission to make electric toothbrushes a staple in everyday routines. “Our goal at quip is to make electric toothbrushes an essential part of people’s daily rituals,” Glansberg stated. She noted that while over 75% of dental professionals recommend using electric toothbrushes, only a third of the population currently does so. This acknowledgment from TIME reinforces quip’s belief that effective oral care can also be enjoyable.
The Ultra Smart Sonic Toothbrush combines high-end performance with an attractive price point, starting at $100. Key features include:
– **15 times more plaque removal between teeth** compared to a standard manual toothbrush, as demonstrated in an in vitro study.
– **Twice the whitening effect** within one week versus a regular manual toothbrush, also supported by in vitro research.
– **70% less waste** compared to quip’s previous Sonic Toothbrush refill, by weight.
– A battery life capable of lasting up to **30 days** on medium intensity, used for two minutes twice daily.
