No pressure sensor listed · ADA Seal listing90 days per AAA · travel case~$129 over 3 years

quip's original brush is deliberately modest: one gentle sonic mode, a two-minute timer with 30-second pulses, and a AAA that quip says lasts up to three months. A 3-in-1 cover doubles as a mirror mount and stand. The plastic handle is $30 and the metal one $35; they share heads, battery and features, so they are one entry here.

What it does well

On the ADA's Seal list as quip's non-rechargeable electric toothbrush
No charger at all: a AAA runs up to three months
Cover works as travel case, mirror mount and stand
Timer and quadrant pulses at a manual-brush price

What it gives up

Heads cost $9 each at best, more than Philips' or Oral-B's cheapest
One gentle mode only; quip says to use a manual back-and-forth technique with it
quip lists no pressure sensor here; it arrives only on the Rev, Rev Smart and Ultra Lite, from $55
One-year warranty, half the two years most makers here give
AAA batteries over three years are on top of the running-cost figure
