What's the Goby Toothbrush?

The Goby is an ADA Accepted electric toothbrush that has an oscillating round brush head, most similar to the Oral-B model. The creators of the Goby wanted a straightforward electric toothbrush.

They had a vision for a brush that appealed to minimalist, no-frills tastes, but that still provided that extra cleaning oompf that electric toothbrushes have been shown to have over manual toothbrushes.

It has soft bristles and comes in three different color ranges:

• Monochrome: Black or white
• Metallic: Moonstone or white moonstone
• Classic: Midnight blue, Goby blue, or tangerine

Goby Toothbrush features

Here are the main features of the Goby Toothbrush:

• Polished bristles: The Goby bristles are polished to ensure smooth ends that won't damage gums
• Simple interface: With a single button you switch the toothbrush on and off and switch from standard to sensitive mode
• Head replacement alert: The power button lights up around every 3 months when it's time to replace the head
• Comfortable: The handle is soft, with a smooth and hygienic surface
• Easy to clean: The charging dock collects toothpaste residue in its easy-to-clean, removable tray

As you can see, it's a toothbrush designed to be straightforward and easy to use, with a moderate battery life and easy operative features.

Goby Toothbrush price

When you purchase a Goby toothbrush you can choose between a one-time purchase or a subscription with brush head refills. You'll save a bit of money if you choose the subscription option, and even a bit more if you choose the subscription option bundled with toothpaste.

The kits (what Goby calls their toothbrush and charger sets) have a different price depending on the color range you choose — the Goby Toothbrush monochrome series, classic series, or metallic series — and whether you get a bundle, a prescription, or a one-time purchase.

“Unfortunately when I recieved Goby I was not impressed with the overall experience. Dont get me wrong, I'm sure the brush is doing a great job a cleaning my teeth and I still use it every day.” ★★★☆☆

Nir

“Love my Goby. Battery lasts about 2 weeks. Leaves teeth feeling really clean. Purchased one for my husband and for my son. Customer service great – when I forgot to include a promotion code on one of my orders, they retroactively applied it, which was the right thing to do based on my multiple orders!” ★★★★★

RL

“I once tried an electric toothbrush of a different brand and had to send it back because it was much too powerful for me. Goby's power is just right, doing the job well without being jarring.” ★★★★☆
