I will be completely honest and say that I've never owned another brush besides the Mia. The product page claims the following:
Mia cleanses so well that products absorb better, pores appear smaller, and fine lines and wrinkles appear reduced. As little as one minute a day, for the best skin of your life.
While cleansing is the first step in any skin care ritual, it is often overlooked and undervalued. Clarisonic Mia gently yet effectively loosens dirt and oil to clear your pores*.
Helps reduce oily areas, dry patches and blemishes
Leaves skin feeling softer and smoother
Remarkably gentle for cleansing all skin types, even with sensitive conditions such as rosacea and acne**
I have not noticed a reduction in my pores so I think that claim is in my opinion exaggerated. I do think that the products you use on your face are absorbed into your skin better, which is why I think gentle cleansers are best to use with the Mia. Personally, I think the cost has to do with the convenience of it. The Mia has a charger that is magnetic and so you just place the charger over the Mia and it snatches into place. The Mia is also waterproof so you can turn it on while you're in the shower (without the cord) and just exfoliate as usual...and the Mia shuts off after exactly one minute so that you don't overuse it. The brush head should be replaced I think every 4 months or so and can be bought pretty inexpensively on Ebay. When I bought my Mia on E-bay a year ago I paid $100. I'm not sure how other brushes work, but I find that this product is indispensable for me to get my face clean after a full day of makeup. I use it once a day after I come home from work/school.
