Colgate Kids Minions Battery Electric Toothbrush

I adore anything with Minions because my four-year-old son loves them so much. It is great that those little yellow characters are on everything now. My son's little face lit up when he saw the Minions toothpaste and toothbrush! The toothbrush has a simple pattern, mostly yellow with stripes of darker golden yellow, with a band of white and pastel bubbles. There is a cute little happy looking minion featured towards the bottom. Underneath the character, the word "Colgate" is printed. The toothbrush takes two AAA batteries, and it comes with them already installed. Since they are standard batteries, they can be replaced by removing the base. A tiny screw securely holds the base in places, so a phillips screwdriver is required. The battery life is pretty good. So far, I have not needed to replace the batteries. My son loves to brush his teeth, but his is terrified of that "loud thing" that the dentist uses to clean teeth. So, I wasn't sure he would be too into the idea of an electric toothbrush. I got the chance to review this product for free, so I figured I would find out. He loved the toothbrush before I turned it on, but after I turned it on, he actually loved it even more! The only problem is that he wants to brush his teeth all the time. He even tried to smuggle the toothbrush out of the bathroom.

The Colgate Minion powered toothbrush is a great buy! My seven year old son loves it and it makes brushing fun for him! I love the fact that it comes with batteries already installed; on the other hand, battery operated anything in our house does not last very long. Unless it is AA OR AAA, we rarely replace them. Thankfully, they will probably last as long as the toothbrush does until it is worn out and it does have two AAA batteries. It has extra soft bristles so it is good on his gums that have lost their baby teeth and making way for his adult ones. I try to make him take care of his teeth and make it fun, so he does not mind brushing them with the fun minion decal. He even loves pushing the button to turn the vibration on for power cleaning, so he thinks. The yellow color is vibrant and my son calls it "banana yellow" which coincides with the Minions banana song. It does the trick of getting his teeth cleaned and making a kid want to brush! It is also nice that it lays flat so kids can put toothpaste on it without having to chase it around or have toothpaste fall off. He said he would tell his friends about it and they probably would be influenced by him having one. I would definitely buy it myself and recommend to others.

We love Colgates power toothbrushes. We feel like the kids get a great brush using these. They're powerful enough to do the job but not too powerful that they bother the kids. Our kids have used these for a while and have never complained. The power button works very easily which is great to us because we've had other brands that the kids have struggled with. The only feature that would improve this toothbrush is if it shut off automatically after 2 minutes of brushing. The Minions design is adorable and is great for any Minions lover.

This spin brush cleans teeth so well, no work required on your end, just hold it while it spins. It requires a small amount of toothpaste which cleans effectively. It's the perfect size for small hands and very easy to hold and manuever. I am so delighted with this toothbrush. It arrives ready to use which is a major convenience.

Who would of thought that adding a battery to a toothbrush could make it so "fun" to brush your teeth? My grand-daughter already liked brushing her teeth, but now that her toothbrush moves and vibrates like her parents' toothbrushes, she absolutely LOVES brushing her teeth! What's nice is that the battery was included, so that was one less thing to think about. It has an easy to turn switch so turning it on is effortless and it's not too heavy. She's 2 and-a-half years old and was able to hold it on her own. We thought it might be too big, but it was perfect for her size mouth, too. The bristles go in circles and are soft enough and not too hard on her gums, since she still has her molars that need to grow in. The minion design is our favorite, too, since the characters elude "fun", so we're glad we chose that theme. The plastic used seems sturdy and the colors are bright and unisex, so could be used by a boy or girl. All in all, I would say this toothbrush is a hit for us! I doubt very much if we'll ever go back to a manual toothbrush for her.

I like most parents deal with the challenge of getting my child to brush his teeth. My son loved the Minions movie, and this was a great motivator having his own Minions toothbrush. The battery powered toothbrushes are all basically the same as far as grip, and power, but what separates this one is the association with the movie. My little boy loves it and actually lets me know he needs to brush his teeth. Thank you Colgate for making this parents life a little easier. I waited a couple weeks to see if the excitement of the new toothbrush would wear off and I am so very happy to report it has not.

I got this for my Granddaughter who doesn't really like to brush her teeth so thought since she liked the minions it might help her like it more, the first day she got it she brushed her teeth 3 times lol and after that she wanted to do it because the brushes tickled her teeth. So far she likes it a lot and is brushing more, the brush head are small and fits a child's mouth nicely, the on and off switch is easy enough for a child to use my granddaughter is 3 years old and doesn't have any problem turning on or off. The body of the tooth brush is a good size for a child to hold and I like that it has a flat bottom so it can stand up by it self. I'm not sure if the Colgate Kids Minions Battery Powered Toothbrush is going to clean deep enough to remove all the germs because the head doesn't spin it just kind of vibrates , but I'm just glad to see her using anything and eventually we can upgrade to a rotating head brush for a deeper cleaning, but hey it's a start to cavity free teeth. So my granddaughter really likes it so anything to get her to brush is a very good thing.

Colgate Kids Minions Battery Powered Toothbrush Thank goodness the movie Despicable Me came out as an alternative to all the "Girl's should learn to obey" princess movies. Then again I am much less likely to succumb to a princess toothbrush for my little girl therefore keeping more character items out of the house. Little one loves the minion toothbrush, a smooth barreled affair with a spinning head that is so loud I mistook it for my husband's beard trimmer when I heard it from another room for the first time. Hilarious soundtrack plays as I run into bathroom alarmed to check. Beyond the loud motor this is a nice enough beginner electric toothbrush model, with careful supervision it does a great job of removing even red juice stains from teeth. If alternate bristle toughness becomes available I would definitely spring for softer bristles for young gums and teeth and stock up on batteries to keep a young girl in Minion happyland.

The Colgate Kids Minions Battery Powered Toothbrush arrived and my son couldn't wait to brush his teeth. Since I typically have to beg my kids to brush their teeth, supervise them to make sure they are actually brushing, or threaten consequences if they don't brush, it was a relief that one of them was excited to brush his teeth. My son who used this toothbrush is 8 years old and he liked the Minions theme and the fact that he had a new "power" toothbrush. He also liked the extra soft bristles. My 10 year old saw this toothbrush and wanted one, too. The stars I assigned to this toothbrush were simply for the motivation it provided to get my kids excited about brushing their teeth (finally!) As a parent, I was not as impressed with the features. On the positive side, it was a comfortable size for holding and the bristles were about the right size for my son's mouth. The design was attractive and the on/off buttons are easy to manipulate. However, I am not certain these extra soft bristles are sturdy enough to remove plaque, so that was concern #1. Additionally, the top bristles that vibrate do not actually spin or oscillate; the "power" seems more of an illusion, or a ruse to entice children. There didn't seem to be much "power" behind the noise. I would like for my kids to have a toothbrush that I know will help them really clean their teeth, and one that they are motivated to use. I would like that toothbrush, when turned on, to stay on for a set amount of time that would ensure they have brushed long enough. I would appreciate having replaceable heads, rather than having to toss out the entire device when it's time for a new toothbrush. I would also like to know that the batteries are providing some additional scrubbing power, rather than just providing little more than sound. The only one of these criteria that this toothbrush met was getting the kids motivated to brush their teeth. That's not all bad, but I will look for a brush that meets more of my criteria the next time I am shopping for a kid's toothbrush.

Cute Minion toothbrush. I got this for my toddler and he loved it! Love that it can actually stand on your bathroom counter. My only complain is that it was hard to push the start button. I have to push it down hard a few times to get it started. But other than that its cute and it does its job.
