When compared to their manual counterparts, electric toothbrushes can improve your brushing by helping you scrub evenly, reach tricky spots and maintain consistent motion, Dr. Jennifer Silver<\/a>, a dentist in Calgary, Alberta, told CNET. To find the best electric toothbrushes for different needs, wants and budgets, we tested 23 electric toothbrushes, paying attention to their features, ease of use, comfort, design and whether they have the American Dental Association Seal of Acceptance.<\/p>\n

The Oral-B Pro 1000 electric toothbrush is a powerful and functional product with a lower price tag that really stands out. It has one daily cleaning mode and a 2-minute timer that signals you to move mouth quadrants every 30 seconds.<\/p>\n

I tested the Oral-B Pro 1000 for a week, and it was my favorite product for its simplicity and impressive cleaning performance. I hardly had to scrub or brush my teeth on my own; the fast-spinning bristles did most of the work for me. It easily glided across my teeth. The smaller brush head also helped me to get to those hard-to-reach places. On top of that, the Oral-B Pro 1000 is ADA-accepted.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\tExpensive\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

The Philips Sonicare 9900 Prestige is a lifesaver if you have sensitive gums like me. I sometimes brush too hard, and the Philips Sonicare buzzes and lights up when I press down too hard with the toothbrush, serving as a gentle reminder to lighten the pressure. The brush also automatically adjusts intensity if you\u2019re pushing too hard.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Philips Sonicare 9900 Prestige has three intensity modes and an app that shows your coverage. Similar to the app for the Oral-B iO Series, the display on your phone shows a 3D scan of your mouth and highlights areas you may be missing. The Sonicare app also guides you while brushing, and keeps track of your data, how much you\u2019re scrubbing (a big no-no with electric toothbrushes) and the pressure you\u2019re applying.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another great feature of this brush is the reminders. If you have trouble remembering when to replace your brush heads, Philips\u2019 BrushSync technology will notify you when you\u2019ve been using your brush head for the recommended time. A light on the handle will blink, and the Sonic toothbrush will beep, letting you know it\u2019s time to order a new one.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBest sustainable electric toothbrush\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSuri 2.0 Electric Toothbrush\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\tLack of app connectivity\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

The Suri electric toothbrush redefines sustainable oral care by offering a product that prioritizes performance and environmental responsibility. The Suri toothbrush is crafted with a lightweight aluminum body that can be easily repaired, refurbished or recycled. Its replaceable and fully recyclable brush heads help reduce waste (replacement heads come with a free prepaid mailer bag made from compostable material, so you can send back the used brush head to be recycled). <\/p>\n

The brush also has 30-second timers to let you know when it\u2019s time to move to another section of your mouth, and automatically turns off after two minutes. The battery also lasts a bit longer than other electric toothbrushes I\u2019ve tested (lasts up to 30 days). It\u2019s also pretty quiet at just 54dB.<\/p>\n

Although the previous version and the 2.0 look pretty similar, there are a few upgrades that have been made to the most recent model. Noticeably, the Suri 2.0 has wireless induction charging, a pressure sensor, a new motor for better intensity and a newly designed travel case. <\/p>\n

I found the Philips One Rechargeable to be one of the gentlest of the brushes on this list, yet I still felt like my teeth were thoroughly cleaned with each use. I liked how small and lightweight it was.<\/p>\n

The brush head is slimmer than the Philips Sonicare brush but still similar to a manual toothbrush. The bristles are soft and flexible and the handle is small and light, the perfect fit for the palm of your hand. It only has one cleaning mode and a two-minute timer that turns off the brush once you reach that mark.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The case it comes with is also one of the best parts of this brush. To store it, just flip the brush with its head down and pop into the case. The top flap closes and it is ready to go. I traveled with this brush on more than one occasion, and I specifically chose this brush to go with me due to its sleek design, quiet motor and the ease of slipping it into my bag.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\tIdeal brush for infant to toddler transition\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\tThere isn\u2019t a cover to protect it from other grime in the bathroom\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

I\u2019d been searching for a toothbrush for my 1.5-year-old, but I had no luck with traditional brushes. He loves the Pure Enrichment PureBaby Infant-to-Toddler Electric Toothbrush. This toothbrush has improved my ability to brush my son\u2019s teeth and keep him entertained while doing so. He\u2019s also attempted to brush his own teeth because he finds the vibration and the light that shines from it to be fun. The helpful part is that this brush is designed to fit comfortably in a toddler\u2019s hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This brush comes with two brush heads, which are intended to be used as babies transition to toddlers. The silicone brush head is ideal for babies six months to a year, and it was the first attachment I tried with my son. The bristle brush head is intended for toddlers ages one to three, and the bristles are soft enough that they don\u2019t hurt my son\u2019s gums. I like how this brush has various speed options, and when he gets older and starts brushing independently, it has a two-minute timer. The PureBaby brush is also easy to recharge, but it can last a while before it needs a charge. I\u2019ve only charged it once since I received it, and it\u2019s been over a month.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\tBrush head replacements are more expensive than adult models\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

The Oral-B Kid\u2019s Color Changing Electric Toothbrush is my pick for the best electric toothbrush for kids. The handle feels small in my adult palm, so it\u2019s a good fit for little hands. The toothbrush has one gentle mode, comes in two colors and each box is equipped with stickers to decorate the waterproof handle.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The soft, round brush head oscillates back and forth to clean the teeth, and the brush itself is a lot smaller than the usual Oral-B brush head. The two-minute coaching timer helps kids learn how long to brush their teeth. Also, the bristles of the brush head change from blue to white when it\u2019s time to replace the brush head. <\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\tThe more I used this brush, the more I had to charge it\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

This Oral-B electric toothbrush is similar to other Oral-B brushes, except the bristles on this brush feel softer than the Oral-B Pro 1000. That\u2019s a big bonus for anyone with sensitive gums, as is the real-time coaching that tells you if you\u2019re brushing too hard. The Oral-B iO also has a quieter motor compared to the Pro 1000.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The display offers an impressive amount of information. Based on the lit-up icon, you can easily tell what mode you\u2019re brushing in. The iO has five brush modes, whereas most electric toothbrushes seem to have three or four. You can choose from daily clean, intense clean, whitening, sensitive and super sensitive. The Oral-B iO Series is also ADA-accepted<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\tNot for those who want large brush heads that cover more area\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

This Philips Sonicare brush is tiny but mighty. It is slimmer than the other Sonicare brushes on this list, and the handle is smooth and fits in the hand well. While this model doesn\u2019t come with a traveling case, a stand or an interactive smart app, it does offer one of the quietest brushing experiences on this list. The Oral-B units can be a bit loud, but this Sonicare\u2019s vibration is hushed, especially on the first cleaning mode.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While it may be quiet and missing extra smart features, the brush still packs a powerful cleaning punch. It cleans just as well as the brand\u2019s high-end products. If you\u2019re interested in a traditional Philips Sonicare brush but don\u2019t want to pay a hefty price tag, I recommend this model.<\/p>\n

Switching from a regular electric toothbrush to a sonic toothbrush for the first time, the movement of the soft bristles was deceiving at first. But after reading up more about appropriate hand movements with this kind of brush, I have found that this unit cleans teeth thoroughly and smoothly without tearing too deep into my teeth\u2019s enamel. <\/p>\n

The number of bristles and their thinness add to the smooth sensation of the action. I also like that the power button is located toward the bottom of the unit, avoiding accidental switch-offs during brushing. However, the pauses between sections in the 2-minute timer feel abrupt. I find myself turning the unit on one more time for an extra 30 seconds to brush parts that felt incomplete.<\/p>\n

The iO Series 3 is another excellent Oral-B option at a lower price than the highly-loved iO Series 6. It has the same round brush head that seems to cover and clean each tooth individually. My teeth feel the most clean when I use a round brush. It gets down to the gum line without being too intense. I also enjoy this brush\u2019s simplicity; it only has two buttons and three modes. It is extremely effortless to use. The LED light ring around the brush alerts you when you are pushing too hard.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for an app that tracks your brushing and areas you might be missing in your mouth, you will want to upgrade to the iO Series 6 or above. However, if you are looking for a simple Oral-B brush with a bit more cleaning power compared to the Pro 1000 (although the difference is slight) and something more affordable than the iO Series 6, then the Series 3 might be your middle ground.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Brushing my teeth with this smart toothbrush has become one of my favorite parts of my morning routine.

I also appreciate the sleek, minimalistic design and the glass charger cup, which goes well with any bathroom decor. If you like tracking your wellness habits, this toothbrush is for you, as you can see and track your progress in the app.<\/p>\n

The Philips Sonicare DiamondClean Smart 9300 is a step down in price from our pick for the best high-end electric toothbrush. If you are interested in the Philips Sonicare 9900 Prestige, this might be a good alternative since both brushes come with smart sensors, many modes and Bluetooth capabilities to connect to a smart interactive app on your phone. <\/p>\n

The Quip Ultra Lite stands out in terms of design \u2014 the look, feel, and technology are among the best we\u2019ve tested. It is made almost entirely of silicone and comes in four different colors. It stands out for its touch bar, which controls speed \u2014 it has 3 different intensities.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Quip Ultra Lite doesn\u2019t have replaceable brush heads; it uses brush pods. The brush\u2019s neck stays intact, and only the bristles pop in and out. This way, there is less gunk hiding in your brush\u2019s little crevices. I did have to watch a video on how to remove the brush pod (push it up until it clicks, then turn it 90 degrees to pull it out), but then I was able to test changing the head.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This is a very straightforward toothbrush with only one button and a touch bar. The travel case is just as sleek and small as the brush; it easily fits inside a suitcase, purse or backpack. I\u2019ve traveled with this brush, and it is very convenient when my bags are overflowing with too much stuff.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\tReplacement heads can be harder to find in stores\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

This electric toothbrush was developed by practicing dentists and delivers up to 48,000 vibrations per minute. And I certainly felt my teeth much cleaner after using this toothbrush. The head is also smaller than traditional toothbrushes, which makes it ideal for getting to those tough-to-reach places, especially in the back of the wisdom teeth.<\/p>\n

It offers three speed settings and a built-in smart timer to guide you through two minutes of brush time with 30-second-interval pulses to indicate when you can move on to the next section of your mouth.<\/p>\n

The value of this toothbrush is unbeatable \u2014 the kit comes with the toothbrush, a travel case, three replacement heads and a charging stand. For a toothbrush that delivers this much, it punches well above its price.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\tBrushes similar to a Phillips Sonicare\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\tPlastic brush heads feel cheap\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\tTravel case is flimsy and can break easily\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

The AquaSonic Black Series electric toothbrush is similar to popular, high-end brands. Specifically, I think it\u2019s a Phillips Sonicare dupe. Both brush heads are very similar and clean about the same; I even found that an AquaSonic head fit on a Phillips brush. While this brush is around the same price as the Phillips Sonicare 4100, you get a bit more bang for your buck. One, you get about eight replacement brush heads. That\u2019s the most I\u2019ve ever seen with any toothbrush I have ever tested. If you replace one every three to four months, that would last you almost two and a half years. The AquaSonic also has four different cleaning modes, while the Phillips only has two. Additionally, this Black Series comes with a travel case, although it\u2019s made of thin plastic.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There are quite a few lesser-known electric toothbrush brands on Amazon, although this has the be the best. The best part is that it has the ADA seal of acceptance<\/a> \u2014 something even a Phillips brush lacks. If you like the look and feel of a Sonicare brush and want better value out of your purchase, including spending less on replacement heads, the AquaSonic Black Series is for you.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Other electric toothbrushes tested<\/p>\n

The electric toothbrushes in this section weren\u2019t my favorites, but they have some qualities worth mentioning. One of these might be the right choice for you, so we felt it was worthwhile to include them.<\/p>\n

Oral-B iO2<\/a>: Since I love the Oral-B iO Series 5<\/a> so much (it\u2019s been my main toothbrush for over two years now), I was sent the new Oral-B iO2<\/a> electric toothbrush to test. It has the same brushing power and feel as the Series 5. It has three cleaning modes, a pressure sensor and a two-minute timer.<\/p>\n

My main concern, however, is that you can\u2019t see the pressure light when you\u2019re brushing; you can\u2019t even see it if you\u2019re looking in the mirror. Unless you have the front of the toothbrush flipped, you can\u2019t see the green or red light on the power button telling you if you\u2019re brushing just right or too hard. I had to brush my teeth completely in the dark in order to watch the LED light change. But if this isn\u2019t a drawback for you, the price is much nicer than the Series 5. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Oclean X Ultra S<\/a>: When I first started testing this brush, I skipped over the instructions (which I don\u2019t recommend). I must have pressed too hard while brushing because I suddenly heard a child\u2019s voice come out of the device. To say it startled me would be an understatement. If I had read the instructions, I would have known that the Oclean X Ultra toothbrush has a pressure sensor that alerts you when you\u2019re pushing down on the device too hard. An AI child-like voice really does speak to you, but it\u2019s muffled, and you can\u2019t hear what \u201cthe brush\u201d says.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It also has an LED screen that shows you which quadrant of your mouth needs more attention or doesn\u2019t get as clean as other areas. However, I tested just brushing one side of my mouth, and the screen told me that I cleaned that area well, as well as another section of my teeth that I didn\u2019t touch. It\u2019s easy to see why the Oral-B iO Series 5<\/a> beats the Oclean X Ultra as the best smart electric toothbrush.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Burst Pro Sonic<\/a>: Burst Pro Sonic is a popular electric toothbrush on Amazon. It has just over 7,000 reviews with an average rating of 4.5 stars out of 5. However, I was very disappointed with the feel of this brush. While the bristles are very soft, there is a piece of silicone in the middle of the brush head that I assume is used to scrape plaque and stuck-on food (the website doesn\u2019t explain). This tiny piece felt too strange on my teeth.<\/p>\n

I think I could let this unfortunate design slide if the brush came in at a good price, but the Burst Pro Sonic retails for a little over $50. If you\u2019re already going to spend that much on an electric toothbrush, I recommend the Phillips Sonicare 4100<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Philips Sonicare for Kids<\/a>: For ages 3 and up, the Philips Sonicare for Kids<\/a> is just as great as Philips\u2019 other Sonicare models. The electric brush has two different modes and a brush timer and comes in two different colors. Plus, each box contains stickers to decorate the handle. It functions very similarly to the Oral-B Kid\u2019s Electric Toothbrush, although the brush head vibrates instead of oscillating. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The handle is heavier and about an inch longer than that of the Oral-B Kid\u2019s Color Changing toothbrush. The brush head is a smaller version of the Philips Sonicare Prestige but is still almost three times longer than the Oral-B Kid\u2019s brush head. What makes the Sonicare for Kids brush unique is that it has Bluetooth capabilities that connect to a smartphone app. I think the app is one of the best; it has educational videos and a tracking system that parents can use to see their kids\u2019 brushing behavior.<\/p>\n

Quip Electric Toothbrush<\/a>: The Quip brush head is very close to the size of a manual toothbrush head. The Quip is simple in every aspect: It has one speed and a two-minute timer that buzzes every 30 seconds and turns off once the time is up. That\u2019s it. There\u2019s no app, charger or wires. This electric toothbrush is powered by an AAA battery located in the handle and the charge lasts three months.<\/p>\n

I gave the Hum by Colgate the \u201cbest battery-powered electric toothbrush\u201d title and not the Quip because I didn\u2019t like the brush head of the toothbrush. Yes, it\u2019s similar to a manual toothbrush, but I found it hard to use to reach around my mouth. I also noticed that Quip\u2019s motor isn\u2019t very powerful compared with models from Sonicare or Oral-B. To me, it felt just like a manual cleaning. I didn\u2019t like that, but others may not mind. If you\u2019re looking for a smart electric toothbrush without Bluetooth or an app, the Quip may be the one.<\/p>\n

CariPro Electric Toothbrush<\/a>: The CariPro is a good brush, but it just didn\u2019t compare to the others on this list. The brush head vibrates and the top and bottom of the brush flare outward.\u00a0<\/p>\n

My gums and teeth felt sensitive after using the CariPro, but I tend to experience dental sensitivity. It\u2019s hard to say if it was due to the brush bristles or the way the brush head flared out. If you have sensitive gums, note that the brush has five settings and one of which is a sensitive one. There\u2019s some good in this: I feel like the CariPro did a good job of cleaning my mouth.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Y-Brush<\/a>: The Y-Brush turned heads and piqued interest at CES in 2017, and has returned to CES year after year. The unusual, Y-shaped brush claims to clean all your teeth in just 10 seconds. After applying toothpaste directly to the brush, the entire Y-Brush goes into your mouth. You then must bite down and press the button to activate the gentle vibrations. After five seconds, you can move to your lower set of teeth.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I not only found that the Y-Brush didn\u2019t clean my teeth but that the vibrations hurt my head. It was an uncomfortable experience that simply left my teeth coated in toothpaste. But the concept of this brush is fun and interesting, and it might be for you if you\u2019re tired of ordinary electric toothbrushes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Oral-B Pro 500 Precision Clean<\/a>: My experience with the Oral-B Pro 500 Precision Clean brush compared with some others in the same price range. It has one cleaning mode, and the brush head oscillates and rotates on a two-minute timer. The brush alerts you when you\u2019re finished, too. This simple Oral-B brush is basic and doesn\u2019t have any special technology or paired apps.<\/p>\n

Out of all the Oral-B brushes I tested with rotating spin heads, I liked this one the least. It wasn\u2019t as powerful as the others and after a few uses, I found myself wondering if I needed a new brush head. I think this brush is perfect for someone testing out an electric toothbrush for the first time. It is simple and very reasonably priced. I would personally choose the Oral-B Pro 1000, but this Pro 500 is a good budget option.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Feno Smartbrush<\/a>: Similar to the Y-Brush above, the Feno Smartbrush is also a mouthpiece-like brush that uses vibrating bristles to clean your teeth. It\u2019s basically the Y-Brush with added AI features and a larger range to clean all your teeth \u2014 top and bottom \u2014 all at once. It\u2019s also more personalized. You upload a picture of your mouth to the Feno app and then receive personal molds designed to reach all your teeth. A corresponding app connects to the device to show you areas where you might be missing and offer dental advice. \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

I have a very tight and small jaw, so this brush was uncomfortable for me to use. I also couldn\u2019t justify the price when a less expensive brush could clean my teeth better. However, a CNET contributor<\/a> had a different experience. She found it \u201ca mouthful \u2026 in a good way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Electric toothbrush vs. manual<\/p>\n

The ADA also says that both electric and manual toothbrushes effectively remove plaque, but there are key differences.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Electric toothbrush<\/p>\n

Pros:<\/p>\n

The elderly, children, or people with dexterity impairments or disabilities may find it easier to use<\/p>\n

Can be better at hitting hard-to-reach spots<\/p>\n

Built-in pressure sensors alert you when you\u2019re brushing too hard<\/p>\n

Cons:<\/p>\n

More expensive<\/p>\n

Require batteries or charging\u00a0<\/p>\n

Manual toothbrush<\/p>\n

Pros:<\/p>\n

Relatively cost-effective<\/p>\n

Very easy to find<\/p>\n

Cons:<\/p>\n

You can brush too hard, damaging your teeth\u2019s enamel<\/p>\n

Easy to miss spots in your mouth<\/p>\n

You can brush for less than two minutes if not paying attention<\/p>\n

Both electric and manual toothbrushes help you clean your teeth, avoid gingivitis and improve gum health. Regardless of which brush you choose, don\u2019t forget to floss before brushing your teeth. \u201cIf you are unsure about the best option for your at-home oral health routine, consider consulting your dentist for advice,\u201d says Dr. Yazdani.<\/p>\n

Care and maintenance of electric toothbrushes<\/p>\n

Caring for an electric toothbrush is different from caring for a manual one. Although both brushes require you to rinse off the head after each use, the head of electric toothbrushes should be detached and cleaned separately. Wipe it down and then wipe off the handle. Put the head back on the body of the brush and let it dry. Also, store your electric toothbrush standing up straight so it can dry between uses. Periodontist\u00a0Scott H. Froum<\/a>\u00a0says, \u201cStorage of the device in a non-wet or humid environment is important.\u201d A bathroom cabinet is a good place.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dr. Silver also reminds patients, \u201cPeriodically, the toothbrush handle should be cleaned.\u201d One should be careful: \u201cAvoid exposing or submerging the [entire] toothbrush [handle] in water, as it can damage the internal components,\u201d she adds. Lastly, and most importantly, replace your electric brush head\u00a0every three months. Replace it earlier if the bristles are fading or fraying.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Best electric toothbrush FAQs<\/p>\n

What is the best electric toothbrush?<\/p>\n

The best electric toothbrush on this list is the Oral-B Pro 1000. It\u2019s cost-effective, ADA-accepted, has a pressure sensor and alerts you on brush time. The best electric toothbrush is ultimately whichever works best for you. Consider cost, pressure sensors, smart features, intensity levels and ADA seal of approval.<\/p>\n

If you have sensitive gums, look for an electric toothbrush that has a gentle setting, like the Quip or CariPro. If you\u2019re looking for a deep clean, a spinning electric toothbrush head like that found on the Oral-B may be for you. Consult your dentist if you have questions about which type may be right.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Is it OK to use an electric toothbrush every day?<\/p>\n

Yes, but make sure you\u2019re\u00a0using it correctly. If you brush your teeth with too much pressure, you run the risk of damaging your enamel or gums.\u00a0<\/p>\n

How much should I spend on an electric toothbrush?<\/p>\n

Electric toothbrushes can be expensive. A quality, low-cost electric toothbrush can run you anywhere from $25 to $40. If you are looking for a high-end electric toothbrush with all of the recent technology, you can expect to pay anywhere from $150 to $300.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Which works better: a sonic or rotating electric toothbrush?<\/p>\n

The best toothbrush is the one you\u2019ll use consistently. Companies often fund studies to compare performance, but results can be skewed based on who conducts them. As long as you brush for two minutes a day and use your electric toothbrush correctly<\/a>, you\u2019ll maintain good dental hygiene.<\/p>\n
