The hum tracks everything from total tooth coverage to time and usage. There was no way the toothbrush was that accurate and smart enough to be able to track my usage on a regular basis. To be frank, I originally thought the Colgate Hum app was simply a gimmick. In fact, the most surprising (and best feature) of the toothbrush is actually its app. As someone who has used quite a few different electric toothbrushes, I would argue that the vibrations on the hum feel slightly stronger than other brands, but not different overall. There’s only one button on the toothbrush making it simple to use and an aesthetic circular ring that lights up when being used or charged. ![]() While I typically use my toothbrush on the normal setting, I have used the deep clean function as well which basically brushes for longer periods of time. There’s three modes for users to choose from: normal, sensitive and deep clean. The Hum uses sonic vibrations to navigate around your teeth for effective cleanliness. Although this was something I got used to quickly, I felt that the brush heads on the hum felt a little more bristly and harder than what I was used to on other electric toothbrushes.

Colors sold include mint green, blue (which I have), purple, and also black. On the Colgate website, the same toothbrush is sold individually at $48.99 for the rechargeable version or $32.49 for the AAA battery variant.Ī sucker for good branding, I was instantly enamored with the pastel and vibrant color schemes offered on the Colgate hum.

This article is dedicated to the Colgate hum. But today, we’re talking about an on the whim purchase I recently made while perusing the aisles of my local Sam’s Club.
