The best electric toothbrush should be safe to use and approved by the ADA (American Dental Association). We decided to review 14 high end and low budget toothbrushes including those that get too hard to reach teeth, those with pressure sensors, and those that have between one and five brushing modes to help with your twice-daily clean as well as offering extra features like teeth whitening, polishing, and soft brushing for those with sensitive gums. In case you want to rest from electric toothbrush, you can always switch to manual toothbrush and combine it with tongue cleaners and scrapers for complete oral hygiene.
In our line up, we included two of the well-known brands - Oral B and Philips - as well as the lesser-known oral brands such as Solby and HOKEKI. Our team thinks we have covered as many options as we could in one list so please, read on, and find your next new toy for improving your teeth, gums, and keeping on top of your oral care regime.
The Best Electric Toothbrush
1. Fairywill Sonic 5 Mode Electric Toothbrush





Key Features
Rechargeable battery
ADA seal of approval
Weighs 55 grams
2 minutes smart timer
8.8″ tall
5 brushing modes
Our best choice, Fairywill Sonic 5 Mode Electric Toothbrush is a good-sized toothbrush and has five modes with 40,000 brushes per minute (BPM) and has reduced noise so all you will hear and feel is the vibration that is expected with an electric toothbrush. The different modes cover:
– Whitening that eradicates plaque and stains
– Sensitive which is great for soft or delicate gums
– Polish for your front teeth
– Clean that helps with regular twice-daily cleaning
– Massage which will help to circulate gums and help with gum care
While the Fairywill brand is not so familiar, they do provide a popular and inexpensive option, and a great value for those that want to ensure their routine of twice a day brushing is a good experience.
Pros
Five brushing modes
Good length for back teeth
Two-minute smart timer]
Three replacement brush heads
Protective cover
IPX7 water resistance
Cons
Isn’t supplied with a charger stand
2. Oral-B 1000 CrossAction Electric Toothbrush




Key Features
Rechargeable battery
Weighs 55 grams
2 minutes smart timer
9.96″ length
1 brushing mode
An Oral-B 1000 CrossAction Electric Toothbrush will rotate and oscillate to combine two cleaning actions. It gives you one daily cleaning mode but while there are plenty of choices that give you multiple cleaning modes, the features aren’t necessarily needed.
The Unclutterer team found the Oral-B 1000 a good and suitable toothbrush that promises to sort out 300% of plaque compared to a manual brush. It has a 16-degree angle to reach to the back of the teeth and it pulsates while you brush, giving you extra cleaning where the manual brush won’t. You will get one brush, one charger, and one Oral-B handle.
Pros
60-day money-back guarantee
Two-minute timer
Pressure sensor
Affordable
Cons
Fewer modes than other electric toothbrushes
Replacement heads not supplied
3. Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 4100 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush




Key Features
Rechargeable battery
ADA seal of approval
Weighs 0.92 lbs
2 minutes smart timer
9.3″ length
1 brushing mode
This Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 4100 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush gives you a gentle brush and has a nicely built in timer with a pressure sensor which ensures you clean better than when you use a manual toothbrush. It will tell you every 30 seconds at intervals when to take a break and then the smart timer will remind you when your two-minute brushing is up. Great for oral care from a company that is well known for lifestyle products.
Pros
Easy to use
Good battery life
Rechargeable
Cons
Might consider the older model
Extra toothbrush heads not supplied
4. AquaSonic Black Series Ultra Whitening Toothbrush




Key Features
Rechargeable / wireless
Weighs 0.66 lbs
10″ length
4 brushing modes
The AquaSonic Black Series Ultra Whitening Toothbrush was our best value choice and we found it at a great price. We thought it would last just under 24 months and you might like that it comes with so many brush heads that it would be well worth the purchase. Sadly, we think after two years you might have to dispose of it and buy a new one but it works really well to delicately clean teeth.
Pros
8 brush heads and travel case supplied
12-month warranty
Excellent value
Good battery life
Cons
May prefer to invest more
Struggle to find extra parts (brush heads)
5. ATMOKO Rechargeable Power Whitening Electric Toothbrush



Key Features
Rechargeable battery/wireless
2 minutes smart timer
9.9″ length
5 brushing modes
With five different cleaning modes and a good length on the handle, the ATMOKO Rechargeable Power Whitening Electric Toothbrush is definitely what your dental expert might recommend. It’s good at removing plaque and great at daily cleans, and it’s rechargeable and wireless.
It’s supplied by DuPont which is a company everyone knows. If you want to know how long the battery lasts, we found after it was fully charged that it gave one of the Unclutterer team about two and a half weeks before a recharge was needed.
Pros
7 brush heads
1 scraper brush
Cons
No charging stand
No low battery indication
6. Solby His & Hers Smart Timer Sonic Electric Toothbrushes




Key Features
Rechargeable battery
Weighs 60 grams
2 minutes smart timer
9″ length
5 brushing modes
With a two minutes timer built into Solby His & Hers Smart Timer Sonic Electric Toothbrushes, you can be assured that your dental health can be cared for when you forget to brush for the full recommended time, making sure that you get the brush you need every 30 seconds intervals. The intervals allow you to empty and refill your brush so you still achieve the two-minute timer setting.
Whilst Solby isn’t a well-known product like, say, Oral-B or Sonicare Diamondclean, the electric toothbrushes do work well and are a nice length so that you can reach the back of your mouth. This bundle comes with modes and 40,000 VPM (vibrations per minute) just as you would expect like daily, massage, clean, and more so does help you to keep up with your dental health.
Pros
2 toothbrush handles
8 brush heads
2 toothpicks
Can plug into regular USB plug
Good for sensitive teeth
Cons
Charge head not supplied (USB only)
7. Oral-B Pro 6000 Smart Series Power Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush




Key Features
Rechargeable/Bluetooth
ADA approved
Weighs 7.36 oz
2 minutes smart timer
10″ length
5 brushing modes
Our premium pick, and the most expensive on our lineup, it’s the Oral-B Pro 6000 Smart Series Power Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush and we found it at a pretty reasonable price. It’s Bluetooth enabled and gives a good cleaning experience as long as you are dedicated to using the features it comes with. It has really good positive reviews but just a shame that it doesn’t come with extra brush heads, replacing them every three months can become expensive although cheaper than a visit to your dental health expert.
Pros
60-day money-back guarantee
Oral-B feedback app compatible
Travel case supplied
Cons
Expensive
Just one brush head supplied
The handle is quite bulky
8. Philips Sonicare DailyClean 1100 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush




Key Features
2 x AA batteries required (supplied)
Weighs 11.99 oz
2 minutes smart timer
8.7″ length
1 brushing mode
The Philips Sonicare DailyClean 1100 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush has a really good battery life of around two weeks if you use it for the recommended twice daily two minutes. Compared to a manual toothbrush and also to the Oral-B alternatives this one still has the features you would expect with a toothbrush that works with electrics. Although we can’t give you scientific results on plaque removal, it feels like the features give you a good level of oral care and at the price, this model gives even children’s teeth a good clean. We don’t recommend that it’s a good choice for toddlers though, although it’s typically a good price as a starter model.
Pros
Good battery life
Sonic motion
Oval-shaped brush
Cons
Must remember to replace batteries
Might prefer round brush head
9. Fairywill PRO P11 Sonic Whitening Electric Toothbrush




Key Features
Rechargeable battery
ADA accepted
Weighs 1.74 lbs
2 minutes smart timer
11.6″ length
3 brushing modes
As far as a power toothbrush goes, you will find each brush head means you don’t have to buy replacements at the recommended three months so the eight you are supplied with should last two years if you use your new toothbrush for two minutes twice daily. Fairywill PRO P11 Sonic Whitening Electric Toothbrush gives 62,000 VPM or oscillations per minute with three brushing modes so you can choose to set it at the best level for you. The two-minute timer with 30-second intervals means that you can restore oral health and keep your teeth clean.
This comes with a handy travel case and gives you a deep clean. The only thing that we would mention is that it doesn’t come with a pressure sensor so you might not realize if you are brushing too hard, especially important if you have sensitive gums.
Pros
8 brush heads
1 travel case
60-day money-back guarantee
2-year warranty
Soft massage mode
IPX7 waterproof rating
Cons
Needs 3 x AAA batteries
Low battery life
10. ATMOKO Sonic Power Ultra Whitening Toothbrush & Case





Key Features
Rechargeable/wireless
Weighs 1.1 lbs
2 minutes smart timer
9.7″ length
5 brushing modes
The ATMOKO Sonic Power Ultra Whitening Toothbrush makes a great travel toothbrush and comes with a travel case to keep it protected from dust and fibers in your suitcase. It oscillates at around 40,000 VPM which means that more bubbles in your selected toothpaste are generated – much better than brushing with a manual toothbrush so offers you a deep clean for a good and regular oral health.
We found this one at an affordable price and with the extra brush heads supplied it compared well to the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean – a version of which you will find on our list at number 3. If you can’t stretch your budget then this works well for both a gentle clean and a deep clean when you feel you need it.
Pros
6 brush heads supplied
BPA free travel box
Wireless charging station
Soft mode for sensitive gums
Cons
No pressure sensor
Brush heads fiddly to attach
11. HOKEKI Ultrasonic Sonic Electric Toothbrush





Key Features
Rechargeable/wireless
Weighs 4.8 oz
2 minutes smart timer
8.3″ length
5 brushing modes
A high powered ultrasonic electronics toothbrush, it’s our budget pick. The HOKEKI Ultrasonic Sonic Electric Toothbrush we found at a very affordable price which makes it a really great bundle especially with the four brush heads that should last for up to a year if you are brushing with recommended guidelines. It has a smart minute timer to help you with this. You might like that it is a decent and not too long length handle and the battery is rechargeable. It’s IPX7 waterproof, works wirelessly as long as it’s charged up, and oscillates at around 33,000 VPM, and can work on soft mode – so it’s gentle if you are looking after your own gum health, or your children’s, if they are looking to get their first electric toothbrushes.
Pros
4 brush heads
2-minute auto shut-off
Soft bristles are ideal for children
Best % of 5* reviews for the price
Cons
Handle isn’t as long as some others
12. Oral-B Pro 1500 CrossAction Electric Power Rechargeable Battery Toothbrush


Key Features
Rechargeable battery
ADA approved
Weighs 12.16 oz
2 minutes smart timer
9.96″ length
1 brushing mode
The Oral-B Pro 1500 CrossAction Electric Power Rechargeable Battery Toothbrush comes in the mid-price range and is perhaps the best electric toothbrush for its price. If you are looking for better gum health and good oral care, the Unclutterer team voted this one ultimately great value and is affordable. The only drawback is that it only comes with one brush head but we like that it comes with a pressure sensor to ensure you aren’t brushing too hard as well as a two-minute timer. One of the best electric toothbrushes in its range, in our opinion, and it’s ADA approved which is the gold standard of dentistry products.
Pros
Round brush head
Pressure sensor
Good battery life
Slim handle
Cons
Only one brushing mode
Not many contents/extras supplied

To remove plaque while you brush your teeth, the T9 Sonic Electric Toothbrush & Smart Reminder is a good choice and comes in at a low price range. You can select from five brushing modes and it features a smart timer too which makes sure you don’t over brush your teeth. It has a clean and white look and it’s easy to operate and with the ‘soft’ mode you can offer your children a good start in their own personal oral care if compared to a manual toothbrush.
Pros

14. HANASCO Sonic Electric Toothbrush



Key Features
Rechargeable battery
Weighs 14.39 oz
2 minutes smart timer
9.8″ length
4 brushing modes
If you care about the color and style then you’ll love this remarkable looking HANASCO Sonic Electric Toothbrush in pink. But don’t worry about the color, it’s a good affordable option for all including children over three years old. Rather than using a conventional toothbrush, this is one of the ones we wanted to test for efficacy and usefulness at helping with daily brushing, gum care, whitening, and polishing and it proved to be effective at removing excess plaque, we like features like the two-minute timer too.
Pros
2 brush heads
6-month replacement
1-year warranty
IPX7 waterproof
Inexpensive
Compares well to ‘known’ brands
Cons
Only USB charger is supplied
Might prefer a conventional plug/charge operation
Features To Consider With Electric Toothbrushes
The best thing to consider when you're planning on buying a new or replacement electric toothbrush is how much you like it and think you will use it. It should be an investment and a device that you will use regularly to help with oral health care. Here are a few tips on what to look out for when choosing the best electric toothbrushes for you and your family.
Accessories
Some of the best electric toothbrushes come with a variety of accessories like spare brush heads, a travel case, and even toothpicks. The standard electric toothbrush should be supplied with the very minimum and that’s mostly a set of your first batteries, or a built-in battery, and a charger. Some won’t be provided with a charging stand which some people don’t like as the brush has to lay somewhere while it’s plugged in.
Cleaning Modes
If your toothbrush has more than one setting then you should easily be able to flick through the various cleaning modes by simply pressing the on/off button.
Design
The design and style vary between people but the most popular electric toothbrushes are slightly angled so that you can reach the very back of your mouth. A long and thin brush ensures that you aren’t uncomfortable during your teeth brushing routine.
Display
The displays will show on the handle of your new toothbrush with the basic display being the on / off display. Other features might include a charge light, a smart timer, and the brushing mode if there is more than one.
Ease Of Cleaning
Most brushes are IPX7 waterproof so can be cleaned under a running tap or submerged up to a meter for up to 30 minutes (and used in the shower). An IPX8 or plus should be submerged a little over a meter but do check the manufacturer's instructions as each may be slightly different. You can always opt for much useful gadget such as toothbrush sanitizer for 100 % peace of mind oral hygiene.
Product Lifespan
You will find that most electric toothbrushes should last just over two years and this is the typical length of warranty that will be provided should the brush become faulty. If you don’t get extra brush heads when you order a new brush, remembering that brush heads need replacing around every three months. So do factor in the price of eight new brush heads over the two year period, especially if you are on a budget.
Timer Settings
Timer settings will vary from one brush to another. Most are set to two minutes before the timer switches off, whilst some will continue and need you to manually switch the timer off.
Follow the instructions but typically you will switch the timer setting off by holding down the mode button, with a beep or two to inform you the timer is off.
Electric Toothbrush FAQ
Q: How do electric toothbrushes clean your teeth better?
You will typically find that an electric toothbrush oscillates at a number of rotations per minute and is much faster than when you use a traditional manual brush. This makes them pleasantly effective in removing plaque and preventing further issues such as bad breath or gingivitis. Most come with a minute timer that lets you empty out at 30-second intervals so that you can’t under or over brush your teeth, one of the greatest features of electric toothbrushes.
They don’t replace the need for flossing though as this should still remain a part of your oral hygiene routine.
Q: What's the average use time after charging an electric toothbrush?
We would recommend charging up your first new electric brush for up to 20 hours and with dentists recommending brushing for two minutes twice daily, an average estimate would be that it lasts around two to four weeks, of course, that depends on the model.
Most brands will feature a charge icon or light on the handle. Generally, a green light shows your brush is suitably charged for use. Flashing green will typically mean that the brush is on a charge. Amber or red light is the indication to plug your toothbrush in.
Always charge it fully to keep the battery working as it should.
Q: How often should you replace your electric toothbrush head?
The dentist's recommendation for replacing your toothbrush whether it’s a manual toothbrush or an electric brush head is to do this every three months. This eradicates the build-up of bacteria and ensures that your oral health remains intact so preventing mouth issues over time.
