I love my Goby toothbrush but cannot give a positive review due to the fact I can’t get a new brush head. The 1st auto refill was fine but my orders now say “proceeding”. This has been since Jan 2023 and it’s now the end of June2023. I’ve reached out to Goby without a resolution and also to my orthodontist who was given a response that it should ship a month ago. The brush is useless unless I can get a new brush head! Wish I could be positive but there no chance I could recommend this product at this time.

Unresponsive and no product available
We’ve used Goby toothbrushes for years but recently my toothbrush has stopped holding a charge for more than a few hours. When I wrote to them about the problem, they promised a new one. That was mid-April, 2023. They told them they were having inventory issues and it would be here by 5/31/23 but it’s now 6/12/23 and I still don’t have it and they’ve stopped responding to emails. In the meantime, I also had an issue with my auto ship of new toothbrush heads. They too should’ve arrived mid-April but my card on file wasn’t valid anymore. I updated the info but still haven’t gotten new toothbrush heads. Again they blamed it on inventory issues and said they should ship by 6/5/23 but I’ve gotten nothing and again no response to emails lately.

Goby - Worst Customer Service Experience
Like everyone else here, we liked our Goby experience until the toothbrushes started malfunctioning. In this review, I am writing about the second and the latest experience with faulty toothbrushes. The first one happened about a couple of years ago: one toothbrush started malfunctioning almost immediately after we got it, but at that time, Goby replaced it under warranty fairly quickly. Fast forward: this time, we had two faulty and wobbly toothbrushes, and I contacted Goby about it. It took them a while to respond to the original email, saying that the toothbrushes would be replaced under warranty. However, as they never materialized, I started emailing them many times, only to get a reply about a month after my original email that the order for the replacement brushes was processed. Seven days later: no toothbrushes in sight, and no replies to my emails, so I concluded that this promising startup has fallen apart and that we should look for new toothbrushes elsewhere. I usually do not write reviews like this, but I do not want other customers to go through this miserable experience. It's a pity, there was so much promise in this product...

I’ve been using a Goby toothbrush for…
I’ve been using a Goby toothbrush for the past 5 years. I ordered new one just because my old one was looking tired. The new one came at the end of February 2023. After charging it for 24 hours, it wouldn’t power on. I contacted Goby who quickly answered with no problem, we will send you a replacement. I’ve yet to receive my new brush. I email their customer service every few days with NO response. Goby, I really like your product, but you have terrible customer service. Do better!

FIND ANOTHER TOOTHBRUSH.
I, like everyone else, have had serious problems with receiving the replacement brush heads. It’s been 7 months since I received my last one, and I was scheduled to get a new one every 2 months. They keep charging me, but have stopped responding to emails asking where the order is. I was told a couple months ago during last correspondence that they would be shipped out in the middle of May, but guess what - still no brush head. Still no update. I guess they think just ignoring the issue will make it go away, but it won’t. I also love how they’re still selling toothbrushes when they know the people will not receive their replacement heads in a few months. They have pissed off a lot of people, and I am done with this joke of a company.

Toothbrush died in January, still waiting for replacement
Almost immediately the battery wouldn't hold a charge. I notified them in January and was given some advice about making sure it was in the charging cradle for a full 24 hours. I followed the instructions. Then after a few weeks, it died. I was promised a replacement would be sent 4/30-5/10. I am still waiting. In the meantime I was charged for a replacement head that I never received!

3+ month shipping delays
Great toothbrush except... I had mine for about a year and it broke. It stopped holding charge and would not work. I asked for a replacement at the beginning of December. They tell me "it will be here in two weeks" but then there are delays. They promise a new date, again it's delayed. So now I've been 3 months without an electric toothbrush. Sketchy...

Good luck getting your order.
I really like the toothbrush - however, the company has some serious problems with shipping replacement brush heads. I always get charged right on time, but have had to contact customer service to find out where my order is. I’ve had issues with 3 separate brush head orders and not receiving them or the tracking number not working. It’s very aggravating to have to wait 2 weeks and contact the company every time. Currently, I am having the issue again. I may need to cancel if this continues.
EDIT/UPDATE: It is now almost June 2023, and the last time I received a brush head was December. The company experienced an “unexpected” delay (that has been going on for 6 months). It is impossible to get your order. I’m knocking off a star because I am fed up. Just look at the IG page and the comments - GO ELSEWHERE.
