The FunWater Koi SUP Stand Up Paddle Board is a versatile and robust inflatable board designed for both beginners and experienced paddlers. This review covers its specifications, performance, pros and cons, and overall quality based on hands-on testing.
The FunWater SUP is easy to inflate using the included high-pressure pump, which features a gauge to ensure proper inflation levels. The board’s width provides excellent stability, making it suitable for beginners. Its three fins, attached with secure clasps and strings, prevent loss and enhance maneuverability.
The board fits comfortably in the provided large backpack, ensuring easy transport. The paddle floats, eliminating the need for an additional floatation device. While the overall build quality is excellent, one small area showed some glue, though it is barely noticeable. The SUP has been tested on lakes and rivers, performing well in both environments.
The FunWater SUP Stand Up Paddle Board offers excellent value for both beginners and seasoned paddlers. Its stability, quality, and comprehensive accessories make it a standout choice. Whether you are looking to relax on the water, engage in some casual paddling, or enjoy water activities with friends, this SUP is a reliable and enjoyable option.
Xiaomi makes almost everything, even toothbrushes. Soocas X3 is a rebranded product (like most of Xiaomi stuff) made by Soocare Technology Co. Ltd. Let’s check if it’s worth buying it.
Package, design and specifications
It comes in a nice, simple package
Here is what you see when you open it. There is another box inside (you can see it on the right side of the photo) with toothbrush head, manual and charger.
Basically there’s toothbrush with protection cover, one toothbrush head (common cleaning type) with protection cover, wireless charger (chinese plug), chinese manual and that’s it! I think it’s worth to buy additional toothbrush heads, because you need to change them once per 3 months.
Toothbrush charger model is: X3CW. It has IPX7 waterproof level, you can plug it to 110-240V and it’s 3W. The Soocas logo starts to illuminate when it’s plugged in.
There is chinese plug, so you may need to buy a proper plug adapter.
What about specs? There we go:
Handle input: 3.7V
Charger input: 110-240V ~50-60Hz, 3W
IPX7 waterproof standard
Made in China by Soocare (Shenzhen) Technology Co. Ltd.
You can also check product’s originality. Here is toothbrush itself. I think everyone will love its design – it’s simple and elegant.
Usage
Basically there are 4 cleaning modes that you can choose from:
Standard – about 31000 vibrations per minute. It’s for cleaning oral cavity, removing dental plaque and other particles. I’m using it daily.
Sensitive – less vibrations per minute than standard. Intended for people with gums inflammation, tooth implants or briquettes.
Beginner mode – use this mode if your gums are not in good condition or you’re using it for the first time (Xiaomi says you should use this mode for a week before you switch to another one).
Whitening or individual – 34800-37200 vibrations per minute. It is intended to eliminate plaque after drinking coffee, smoking etc.
As I said I’m using first mode (the top mode) and I think it’s the best for everyday usage if you have no problem with gums or teeths. It will clean your teeths better than manual toothbrush (especially if you use manual one in a wrong way), but in my opinion it’s not the best at cleaning tongue – toothbrush head is just too small and soft. It’s better to use manual toothbrush for tongue cleaning.
What about cleaning technique? Put a little bit of toothpaste on toothbrush head and spread it all over your teeths (just like with manual one). Choose proper cleaning mode (it will be saved after cleaning, so you won’t have to choose it again next time) and start cleaning your teeths’s side (with 45 degree angle) and top moving slowly. Soocas X3 works for 2 minutes with 3 short breaks – after 30, 60 and 90 seconds. Try to clean left bottom area in 30 seconds, then right bottom in another 30 seconds et cetera. You can clean for another 2 minutes if you want.
Battery life
There are three dots showing battery level (3 dots = 100%, 2 dots = 66%, 1 dot = 33%). Battery capacity is 1000 mAh. I’m using it for 2 weeks, but I was charging it – my bad.
I’ve charged it fully today (02.12.2017) and I won’t charge it anymore from now on so I can update this paragraph when battery will be empty (for your information – I’m using it like 3 times per day).
Update (17.12.2017): after 15 days there are 2 green dots. Very good result.
Update (28.12.2017): after 26 days red dot appeared, so I’ve stopped the test not to damage battery. 26 days is the same as specification says, so it’s excellent!
Update (04.11.2018): After (almost) 1 year of using this toothbrush I’m going to make next test. I’ve charged it today, so we’ll see how long it will work this time! Update (02.12.2018): There we go. It’s still the same (even more) after 1 year – 28 days! Basically battery used in this toothbrush is high quality.
Here is the red dot at the end of the test:
I’ve started charging on 28.12.2017 16:00 CET. On 29.12.2017 6:00 CET it was fully charged, so you need at least 14 hours to charge battery fully.
Waterproof test
Here’s a short YouTube video showing Soocas X3 being covered with water.
Install it, create account, click on top left button, go to “My toothbrush” and bind it. You have to give all permissions to Soocas application to make binding work.
You can set brushing time to 2.5 minutes and last 10/30 seconds cleaning method.
Pros and cons
Pros:
It’s really nice looking toothbrush
Cleans your teeths better than manual toothbrush
Four cleaning modes – I think that’s enough for everyone
Long battery working time (26 days tested). After 1 year 28 days tested.
It’s customizable via app
Cons:
Not the best in tongue cleaning (just buy tongue cleaner)
“Long” charging time (14 hours tested)
No infinite work mode
This toothbrush is like the movie “The Green Mile” – it’s really good. I recommend that product.
