Our Verdict
Our Analysis and Test Results
Since testing, this toothbrush has been renamed from the Fairywill Sonic to the Fairywill D7 Sonic. You can expect to pay a few dollars more and you'll now receive four brush heads instead of three.
Comfort
Our judges found the side-to-side brushing action of the Fairywill to be quite gentle. The bristles on the included brush head are slightly stiffer than average, but we don't think they are too rough if you have sensitive gums.
We also like that the Fairywill isn't overly loud. You can hear it if you are standing close to someone brushing, but it is much quieter than many of the rotation-oscillation brushes out there. Unfortunately, this toothbrush doesn't have an indicator to alert you if you are brushing too hard.
Cleaning
This toothbrush allowed our tester to easily remove the bulk of the plaque on the main surfaces of their teeth.
However, we did find that there were a few problem spots that it missed.
Ease of Use
The Fairywill Sonic Toothbrush is quite basic, lacking some of the convenience features of the top models, but its simplicity makes it very easy to operate. This earned it a score in the middle of the group.
The Fairywill has five different cleaning modes: white, clean, sensitive, polish, and massage. You press the power button to cycle through each mode, and an indicator light indicates the current mode.
This toothbrush is rated for IPX7, meaning it's resistant to accidental submersion to a depth of one meter, but it hasn't undergone any dust ingress protection rating. It's fairly easy to clean the bulk of the brush, but we did find some raised areas around the power button and a few seams that can accumulate toothpaste grime.
Unfortunately, the charging base for this brush doesn't have any spot for additional brush heads or include a travel case. This brush also has an integrated two-minute timer that notifies you when it's time to move to different parts of your mouth.
Battery Life
This brush would last for approximately 50 days, assuming you brush once in the morning and once in the evening — far outpacing most of the competition.
However, we did find it a little off that this model doesn't have an induction charger — like almost every other model — instead having a 3.5mm charging port at the base of the brush.
Value
If you want to spend as little as possible on a new electric toothbrush and don't mind making some concessions, then the Fairywill is a solid value option.
Conclusion
There is no denying that the Fairywill is a relatively bare-bones and minimalistic electric toothbrush. It doesn't have a smartphone companion app or a ton of fancy modes, but we think it's hard to beat the price, and some people will probably prefer a model without all the bells and whistles that the top electric toothbrushes have. While this option might not be the best of the best, it does an acceptable job compared to the rest of the competition — and at a much lower price. It isn't without its flaws, but we do like how comfortable and easy to use it is.
