The silicone bristles do take a little while to get used to and the shape of the brush feels very different compared to the standard spinning circle of traditional electric toothbrushes, but the Issa 3 has brilliant coverage and a great overall clean sensation. (Image credit: Foreo) Foreo Issa 3 review: Cleaning & performanceīut how does it actually perform as a toothbrush? Well, exceptionally. Yes, it seems you can have too much of a good thing.

To make sure you’re not having too much fun brushing your teeth, the whole brush cuts out after three minutes. This flashes in thirty-second increments to let you know when to change quadrants of your mouth and after two minutes it glows solidly to let you know you can stop. On the bottom of the device is a handy light. Foreo says these create what are called ‘Micro sweeps’ to ensure the full break up of plaque. These go up to 11,000 per minute to make sure your teeth and gums are fully cleaned. The controls are simple with a large power button in between a plus and minus symbol to change between the 16 sonic pulsation settings. Starting from the top, the head that the Issa 3 comes with is the Hybrid Wave Brush which is a combination of medical-grade silicone and stiff polymer bristles. We’re trusting Foreo on this because, after almost 3 months, we still haven’t had to charge it. With 365 uses inside, it’s an incredible piece of tech that removes any of the panic of packing a charger for travels, and it even charges fully in two hours. Chances are you’ll have to really remember where you put it because you aren’t going to need it for six months or so.

In the box is a pouch for travel as well as a wire for USB charging. The Issa 3 comes in a choice of four colours fuchsia, mint, pink, and black which means you can choose to make it blend or stand out as a bathroom feature. Despite being USB chargeable, the silicone design means it’s fully waterproof and there’s a handy cover on the charging port.

Once you get used to the fact that it looks like it could easily have another useful purpose - do check out our best sex toys if you’re on the hunt - the Issa 3 is an impressively designed piece of kit and feels great in your hand. Let’s talk about that design, shall we? After almost three months of having it on the bathroom shelf, we’re still getting “is that your toothbrush?!” questions from visitors.
