The principle of operation of the mechanism - the mode of mechanical vibration is used, but cleaning is more thorough due to ultrasonic waves emitted by the device, which destroy and remove plaque and bacteria from hard-to-reach places.

Asahi Irica generates 1.6 MHz ultrasound that the user cannot hear or feel. The device can break down and remove plaque and insoluble glucans. Ultrasonic vibrations combined with sonic vibration provide enhanced cleansing. Using an electric brush and using a whitening paste, you can lighten the enamel up to 2 tones. Thanks to a special attachment, the gums are massaged, which has a beneficial effect on their health.

Consumer opinion

Users in their reviews of the Asahi Irica AU 300D ultrasonic toothbrush noted the quality, pleasant design, good cleaning and polishing of teeth. The negative side is the high cost of the brush and its components. There were comments from several people who spoke about problems with the charger, head breakage.

Cleans thoroughly but gently. Suitable even for people with sensitive teeth and problem gums. I recharge it about once every 5-6 days. After it is discharged, the vibration becomes smoother.

Tatyana Gavrilova, 37 years old, St. Petersburg

The toothbrush was presented by colleagues, I would not have bought it myself for such a price, it is too expensive. Now I use it, I will have to buy attachments soon. The electric brush itself removes plaque well; ordinary dirt cannot be removed. Outwardly very attractive, the design is laconic, nothing more. The quality of the plastic is good. Overall, I am happy with her.

Svetlana Denisenko, 40 years old, Chelyabinsk

I have been using Asahi Irika for the second year. I want to say that the device is of high quality, the teeth cleaning itself is thorough and gentle. On removable heads, the bristles are soft, the gums do not scratch or hurt, but at the same time perfectly removes plaque in the most inaccessible places. Unlike "underground China" it will not break in a month. Of the minuses, it's expensive.

Tamara Semenova, 32 years old, Sochi

A year later, the head broke - or the plastic turned out to be fragile, or this is its real service life. When there was a new one, I kept charging for a long time, after a year it began to discharge quickly. I took the same model to my nephew, he has braces, so the wear of the nozzle is 2 times faster.
