Pros: Most importantly my toddler lets me brush his teethe with this brush! The bristles are soft and seem easy to clean.
Cons: no clue what the blinking lights mean. Why is the happy face and sad face lit up together, and always blinking in the morning. Also it doesn’t come with the monster holder that’s shown in every image.
We loved the idea of very hygienic solution for teeth brushing. My son had great times using this tool, enjoyed the lights and the praise in form of smiley when he finished. But as he grew older and had more teeth this toothbrush couldn't keep up anymore and we were forced to switch back to the most basic toothbrush which cleans teeth better. That was by the age of 3.5.
Would rate higher if the bristles were more sturdy. Like other reviewers mentioned, my child chewed many bristles off. Hard to expect a child to not chew at all which should warrant the product makers to make a more durable product. Waste of money.
My son was always trying to use our electric toothbrushes for his teeth and I was worried the pulsations were too strong, even on the weakest setting, so the ISSA baby is perfect as the silicone material and the pulsations are gentle. From the first use, he was so excited to have his own toothbrush and loves cleaning his teeth at least twice a day. The button is easy to press for little fingers. I only wish I'd discovered these toothbrushes sooner. One star knocked off because one bristle came off on the first use. No more have detached since but I have to check everyday.

Brushing teeth was a nightmare with my 3 year old and it stopped since we started using FOREO. My daughter now lets me brush her teeth longer as well to get the smiley face at the end!

Hi there,
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that the ISSA™ Baby Strawberry Rose Lion has made toothbrushing easier and more enjoyable for your daughter. It’s fantastic that she’s motivated by the smiley face and letting you brush longer—exactly the fun and effective experience we hope to create for little ones.
Only started using it for my 19 month old son, he loves the idea that it vibrates and he loves using it himself but not me helping him so brushing teeth is still a struggle, we will give it some time
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello,
Thank you for your review!
We’re happy to hear your son enjoys the ISSA™ Mikro and finds the vibrations fun! It’s great that he’s taking an interest in brushing, even if it’s still a bit of a struggle. It can take some time to adjust, but with a little patience, he’ll likely get more comfortable using it on his own.
Feel free to reach out if you have any tips or need further assistance. We’re here to help!
Although it is very beautiful but I had to return it because I’m not sure if I could clean the brush properly, because they’re very close and of course as it is mentioned, it is not replaceable.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
