When companies listen to consumer feedback good things happen… Introducing NEW FOREO Issa Hybrid Brush Head, designed for those of us who were underwhelmed by the original all-silicone brush the device came with.
You might have read my original FOREO Issa review from a couple months back, where I mentioned that I didn’t think that particular brush head was doing this sonic technology any justice. Yes, my gums felt nice after a good massage, and the teeth felt polished, but I also has to floss twice, if not three times more, since the silicone bristles were too thick to reach between the teeth. All that extra flossing actually irritated my gums, and even made them bleed sometimes, which kind of defeats the purpose of a nice gum massage, since it would have been all for nothing.
Sounds like I wasn’t the only one who wasn’t fully satisfied with their FOREO Issa brush, so the company collected feedback from bloggers and consumers, and released a brand new brush head designed to provide deeper cleansing traditionally associated with regular bristles, combined with massaging and polishing properties of silicone bristles. Brilliant!
I must say, I am much happier with this new attachment. My Issa brush has been sitting in a drawer for a long time now, because I didn’t feel like it was doing much for my teeth anyway, but ever since I tried the new FOREO Issa Hybrid Brush Head, I’ve been using it exclusively. I’m thrilled to report that it worked amazingly well, and far exceeded my expectations!
So if you are still iffy about spending $200 on a toothbrush, this new brush head just might make it a worthy investment after all. I think FOREO created a fantastic product that deserves all the praise it’s being given!
WHERE TO BUY: $19.95 for 1 brush head. Available at FOREO.

Smart that they revised the head based on blogger feedback, but why they didn’t do usability market research upfront is a mystery to me, a market researcher
I’ve been wondering that myself, Allison. I can’t imagine the feedback would have been very positive for the original brush head.
That’s great that they revised the brush head!
I’m thrilled that they did! I’ve been using this brush exclusively since getting the replacement.
It’s so great that they fixed the issue.
I’m happy about that as well. It wasn’t really an issue, but mostly the fact that the original brush didn’t seem all that effective for anything other than gum massage.
Wonderful that they are so responsive!
Right? It always makes me want to shop with that company again.
It’s great that they listened to their customers. It’s too bad that the first set of reviews might have turned a lot of people away though.
Well, hopefully this new surge of positive reviews will turn them all back 🙂
Good to know they finally listened!!!
Indeed, that was a drastic improvement. I know some people were happy with the original brush, but for me it was a total fail.
Def prefer the new one!
Likewise, Stephanie!
Definitely need to look into trying the new brush head
It’s a lot better than the original one, at least in my opinion.
Sounds like the new brush head is a winner!
I’ve been enjoying it quite a bit 🙂
I LOVE this new brush head! I was so excited when I learned that one would be sent to me and I’ve not touched my manual toothbrush since this replacement brush head arrived. FOREO did a good job on this one.
That’s my story right there, Erika. My ISSA just sat there collecting dust for months, because I didn’t want to use it. Now that’s all I use!
I want this on my toof!!!
Haha, get it get it!
I’ve been eyeing the Foreo Issa for awhile now. How often do these brush heads need to be replaced? I was impressed to see that the original heads last one year, but I know I’d do better with the hybrid brush. On the other hand, if the new Hybrids need frequent replacement, at that price point, I’m hesitant to jump.
It’s a wonderful brush! I was totally not a fan of the original brush head, but this one is perfection. Let me know if you end up liking it 🙂
