Sleek rose pink electric toothbrush is appealing, like unboxing an iPhone for the packaging. On the spectrum of stiffness I’d call the brush heads soft. It’s quieter than Equate or Philips ones I’ve had in the past, I think that’s the more isolated sonic movements. The fives modes didn’t really help me, just the first cleaning mode is the general consistent buzzing movement that I need. I’m glad it came with a short USB cable, plugs into the bottom of the brush via a circular DC port. The instructions said the toothbrush might get warm when plugged in charging so I’ll keep an eye on that. I usually just charge my toothbrushes overnight but that might be overkill for this one. This would be an aesthetically pleasing toothbrush to get for your tween if they want all shiny pretty bathroom accessories , it looks great.
