Snow LED Review

The Snow LED was a top performer in our comfort test. The toothbrush has four modes, which are all quite comfortable. However, this device wasn't the easiest to use. We struggled to switch modes without accidentally turning off the brush.

Performance Comparison

Comfort

Our judges tested every toothbrush, assigning a score based on how comfortable they were to use on a daily basis. We also considered how much noise each brush made. These tests comprised 40% of each model's overall score.

We were impressed with the comfort of the Snow LED. The toothbrush has four modes, including a sensitive mode. The sensitive mode differs from most with pulsating vibrations rather than just a lighter vibration. However, the strongest mode was still exceptionally comfortable.

The brush feels great in hand, not too bulky or heavy. It easily reaches back molars. This model made the average amount of noise one could expect from an electric toothbrush. The whiten and sensitive modes have a higher-pitched whine than the others, which some might find irritating. Unfortunately, the Snow doesn't include pressor sensors to avoid brushing too hard.

Cleaning

For our cleaning test, we avoided brushing our teeth for 16 hours while eating as much sugary food as possible. Using disclosing tablets, the built-up plaque was dyed bright pink and blue. We then brushed our teeth with the Snow LED, comparing photos and assigning scores accordingly.

The Snow LED has four modes: clean, whiten, polish, and sensitive. We tested all settings, noticing the clean and sensitive modes did comparably different jobs. The sensitive mode left behind a significant amount of plaque, while the clean mode removed most of the plaque.

Although the Snow LED is comfortable, we wish there was more consistency between the cleaning power of different modes.

Ease of Use

Next, we compared the convenience of each brush. We specifically looked at how easy it was to switch between modes, how simple it was to clean, and if it had timers. Unfortunately, the Snow performed below average on this test due to challenges in switching modes.

We scored the Snow on the lower side for this test as one button controls the toothbrush, making it challenging to switch between modes. There wasn't much consistency in the timing for turning the brush off versus switching between modes. While trying to turn the brush off, we often switched the modes. Likewise, we would accidentally power off the brush when changing modes. The brush does indicate which mode is in use by a small light.

The toothbrush has a quick gap in vibrations every 30-seconds to guide you to move on to a new section in your mouth. After two minutes, the brush powers itself off. The brush is waterproof, making it usable in the shower and easily cleaned.

Battery Life

In total, we brushed our teeth for 4 minutes each day. In the morning and evening, we brushed for 2 minutes each time. We noted when they died and assigned scores accordingly.

The Snow did below-average on the battery life, with a life of 16 days. The brush has a battery indicator at the bottom of the brush. The light is green when charged and red when the battery is low. The toothbrush charges on a simple compact dock.

Should you buy the Snow LED?

The Snow is a great option for those interested in the LED whitening aspect. The LED light is undoubtedly a unique feature for those willing to spend a little more. Regardless, this toothbrush is a very comfortable option and cleans well.
