A toothbrush is a toothbrush, right? The Snow LED Electric Toothbrush tries to sell itself with a unique tooth whitening blue LED light and that’s what made me give the product a try. Here’s what I thought about it. First off you’ll notice the presentation of the device is absolutely fantastic. I received a gift/storage bag along with a premium quality box. As you can see in the pictures, the product is packaged and presented like the premium quality toothbrush it’s advertised as. You receive the tooth brush, 2 LED brush heads, a charging stand and a USB-C charging cable. What I wish was included for the price was a USB charging brick. The toothbrush and brush head is built well, has a nice weight to it and doesn’t feel cheap when it’s sonic vibrations kick in. There is no rattle or noise other than what you’d expect from the device. Now let’s get to the actual brushing! The toothbrush itself feels good to use, there are 4 modes to choose from Clean, Whiten, Polish, and Sensitive. All of them do slightly different things, but I’m a basic kind of guy so I just mostly used the “Clean” setting and ran with that. The brush head is very thin stem, which is nice as some electric toothbrushes have thicker stems that make them awkward to use like a regular toothbrush. You’ll come out of the 2 minute brush cycle with very clean feeling teeth, even if the brush head itself feels a bit softer than most other soft brush heads. The softness of the brush doesn’t seem to affect how it leaves my teeth feeling, so I’m okay with that aspect of it. The sonic action feels right and the pressure of it feels just right. As for the blue light LED, well that’s where I’m not fully convinced. The blue light LED is what really differentiates this device from all the other sonic toothbrushes on the market and I wish I could say that I notice anything happening from that function, but I don’t yet. This may just be something that comes to light the longer I use it, but during my testing for this review I can’t say that I felt the toothbrush was whitening my teeth any better because of the blue light. Overall I think this is a good first attempt at a toothbrush from SNOW. I do wish they’d give you a whitening chart to compare your whitening progress for a product that is trying to sell you on it’s whitening effectiveness. I really can’t find any other complaints other than value. There are a lot of toothbrushes to be had for a much lower price than the SNOW and with cheaper replacement brush heads as well. Other than the questionable value of the blue light whitening this product is pretty solid toothbrush.

Summary: It is a good tooth brush that leaves you with a clean feeling after the two minute cycle. The attached charger only comes with a base station and a USB-A and C cable. This means you will need a 5V USB adapter in the bathroom to charge it. I don't think too many people will have that! Hence, I removed 1 star from my rating. Details: The brush comes in a nice packing. The box and the storage box look pretty fancy and premium that you will expect at a price tag of $149. There is an extra brush-head, charger base station and USB-A to C cable in the box. There are 4 modes: Clean, Whiten, Polish and Sensitive. I like the push button to turn on-off the brush as well as change the mode as I have had difficulties with my old Philips Sonicare brushes design where the button has to be depressed. In each mode, you get 2 minutes of total brush time which is divided in 4, 30 seconds intervals. After each 30 seconds interval the brush briefly pauses to indicate change in quadrant. This is better than the same feature in Sonicare as you only get a beep there. The brush feels quite balanced and brush head is able to reach all areas of mouth without any issues. The key differentiator is supposed to be the blue LED light for whitening support. But I haven't really noticed any marked difference yet. Probably, it will show over a period of time (I have used it only for a week so far). The battery life seems to be pretty good. So, in short, it's a pretty good tooth brush that gets the job done and leaves you with clean mouth. The blue-LED might result in whiter teeth but need to wait for some time to see that.

I have been using this toothbrush for a week and have throughly enjoyed it. It is light and well-balanced in the hand, and stimulates my gums while it cleans and whitens my teeth. You pick it, turn it on, and re-press the "on" button to toggle through its several modes: Clean, White, Polish and Sensitive. Clean is the default mode, White concentrates on surface stains caused by coffee and tea, and Polish impoves the gloss of your teeth by changing the vibration intensity. Sensitive is for those who find the other modes too stimulating- I didn't and enjoyed the stimulation from each. I am quite pleased with the results. My teeth and gums are clean and refreshed. It will take longer than a week to show how much this device whitens my teeth, but it does use LEDs to hasten the whitening, and I am confident my caffeine- stained teeth will benefit. An interesting feature of this device is intelligent brushing. It pauses briefly after operating for 30 seconds so that you can change quadrants and cover all four (Upper right, upper left, lower right and lower left) over the course of the two-minute reccomended miniumum brushing time. I have two crticisms, neither of which should be a deal killer. First, the packaged instructions for charging the device are inccorrect. You are advised to charge the device for 12 hours before the first time use, and to turn it on before placing it in the base for charging. When you turn it on, the brush function starts. It would be ridiculous to place an operating tootbrush, motor running and LEDs illuminated, in the charging stand, but that is what happens when you turn the device on. So ignore that directive.You are also advised that when you have placed the device in the base that the base will blink green to indicate charging. My base did not. It blinked red. When I returned from work and checked, the LED was solid green. If the specifications are correct, the full charge should last 30 days. To keep the device always charged, the instructions reccomend keeping the toothbrush on the charger when not in use. A USB-C to USB-A cable is supplied to attach the base to a DC source. My second criticism is that you will need a find a charger with a 5V output to charge the toothbrush. I used a retired iPad charger for the initial charge, and it worked fine, but I consider the ommission of a DC power source a disappointing packaging decision by the manufacturer, and deducted a star from my rating because of it. The toothbrush is fine one, though, and highly-reccomended for the great job it does. I expect to use it for years to come.
