“I'm what's known in the business as a laggard, the opposite of an early-adopter and, until 1 year ago, I was still using a manual toothbrush. I started using my wife's electric (rotary) toothbrush and was converted. I came across this N-1 in my search for a nano-hydroxapatite toothpaste because I grind my teeth and that leaves them highly vulnerable to staining; the stuff is supposed to fill in the scratches in the tooth enamel. As if £10 wasn't enough to spend on a tube of toothpaste, the January sale lured me into adding the toothbrush into my basket - nice up-sale, Whitewash folk!
I really like the design and what comes in the box is more than enough to make you feel as though you've got your money's worth. Dare I say, it's conspicuously aimed at the female market and I'm not sure how many men would go for the white & gold combination. I don't need things to be black to make me feel like a man, however, and I genuinely like it: it's a clean design, the brush is ergonomic, light-weight, seems reasonably well put together and it's simple to use. The addition of the carry-case is a very welcome one and the packaging, although there's no mention of it anywhere in the literature, appears to be made from recycled (or recyclable) materials.
In use, compared to a standard rotary electric toothbrush, it certainly takes some getting used to and I'm not sure I've adapted my style sufficiently enough yet. After a week of using it, I have to say I'm impressed. Thanks, I guess, to a soft brush head and the vibrating action (it tickles), my gums have thanked me for it, feeling much less battered. My teeth really do feel very clean and much smoother after a brush, although that could be, in part, due to the all singing-and-dancing toothpaste. The massage function is particularly nice on the gums.
As to whether it lives up to its claims of being a whitening toothbrush, only time will prove (or disprove) this. The website and literature could do with a bit more technical info. about the toothbrush eg. how many times a minute does this thing vibrate? There's a lot of competition out there and this figure seems to be the one everyone quotes, so why not N-1? I'd also like to know MUCH more about its environmental credentials.
At the full retail price of £125, I would certainly take much more time in researching other options. However, for the £50 I paid for the toothbrush (+ £23 for the extra heads and toothpaste), I'm very happy and can't recommend it highly enough. I prefer it to my wife's Oral B 2000: it's much gentler on my gums, my teeth feel cleaner, it's more comfortable in the hand, it's lighter, it's a much more attractive design and it even comes with a travel case! What's not to like?”

“Really regret buying this. My teeth don’t feel clean and aren’t whiter despite the promises. I don’t smoke or drink coffee so it’s not a big ask. The heads are so cheap are really rubbish. Stick to oral b half the price double the clean feeling.”
“I have bought more more more, this floss/wash/brush philosophy is a whole new level of amazing - went for my regular dental check up and usually have 1 & 2 called out and a scale and polish as standard (I have never had a filling in 37 years) but I was all 0's except for a single 1 this time and no scale / polish required....dentist was very impressed with my 'significant improvement' I am certainly going to keep this up. Great products! Thanks Nano! **I have also just purchased 2 new brushes for my son & partner I think they are that amazing!**”
“These are great toothbrushes, they clean around your teeth extremely well , no vibration, very pleasant sensation , and marvelous clean sparkly teeth”
