The Build-Quality is Wow...
This is a classic case of, "You get what you pay for." I just started Spark (Invisalign competitor) and I did Not want to pay $200+ for the combo set (Dental Pod Pro + Go UV Travel Case). I felt at the time that was too much. I decided to go cheaper, some unknown ultrasonic and UV combo unit. After a week, I disliked it. It was loud, and it felt cheap. Meanwhile, I did buy the Go travel case, because I couldn't find a decent affordable alternative. After a week of using the Go, I realized I made a grave mistake. I was more impressed with the Go travel case than I was with the cheap ultrasonic cleaner. I immediately returned it and bought the Dental Pod Pro. First off, the attention to detail, the build quality... I am blown away. Second, the detachable base and removable lid are smarter than I realized. It does make the process of filling and dumping the bowl better. The cheap cleaner had the worst hinge covering the bowl that wouldn't stay open on its own and felt like it would break if I pushed it too far. If you're starting a clear aligner treatment, or have been for some time now, this isn't just an 18-24-month process, this is a lifetime endeavor. If I want my teeth to stay straight, I will have to use a retainer at night to sleep forever after my treatment is done. This is why I feel I made the right decision in choosing quality. In my experience owning two Zima products, they are the epitome of quality. They also work, and they are built beautifully.
