Colgate hum Smart Electric Toothbrush

I had no idea I was brushing my back bottom teeth completely wrong until the hum app showed me a heat map of where I was missing. After 3 months of using the app guidance, my dentist said my plaque levels were the best she'd seen from me in years. At $60, this is the best dental investment I've ever made. The vibration isn't as intense as premium brushes, but the habit coaching more than makes up for it.

Coming from a Philips Sonicare Essence, the hum's vibration feels underpowered. After brushing, my teeth don't have that polished sensation I was used to. The app tracking is genuinely useful and the coverage maps are insightful, but I'm skeptical the weaker motor is actually cleaning as well. If you're new to electric toothbrushes, this is excellent. If you're downgrading from a premium brush, you'll notice the performance gap.

I bought three Colgate hum brushes for my kids (ages 8, 10, 12). Eight months later, they brush their teeth enthusiastically every morning and evening without being asked — because of the app's streak tracking and coverage game. My dentist is amazed. Before the hum, getting them to brush was a daily battle. The gamification and visual feedback is exactly what kids need. At $60 each, this is the best parenting purchase I've made this year.
