Fairywill FW-507 Review

Fairywill FW-507

Editor’s Note

As of 6th July 2021, Fairywill has stopped selling all of its oral care products via Amazon.

This action came without warning.  

The company has issued an announcement to say that the company is being rebranded, with a new brand due to launch in September.

It is not clear if the same products will return, under the new brand.

Unless you wish to wait until September, we recommend opting for the Oral-B Pro 2 2500 instead.

Our Verdict

The materials and overall finish make it look and feel a little ‘cheap’ in comparison to those brushes made by arguably more reputable and household name brands.

However, the low price is what really makes this toothbrush stand out.

This is without a doubt excellent value for money.  You will be hard pushed to get more features and performance for less.

Pros

  • Lightweight
  • 5 cleaning modes
  • Built-in timer and pacer
  • Long battery life
  • Box contents
  • Price

Cons

  • No pressure sensor
  • Charging port
  • Quality
  • Lesser known brand

Editor’s Note

As of 6th July 2021, Fairywill has stopped selling all of its oral care products via Amazon.

This action came without warning.  

The company has issued an announcement to say that the company is being rebranded, with a new brand due to launch in September.

It is not clear if the same products will return, under the new brand.

Unless you wish to wait until September, we recommend opting for the Oral-B Pro 2 2500 instead.

Our Verdict

The Fairywill E11 is an excellent toothbrush and is alarmingly good value for money.

You will be hard pushed to find something else that offers so much and cleans as well, but costs as little.

A travel case would have been a nice addition in the box. But given what else you get included for the price, it really is quite difficult to find fault.

Is the catch the long term reliability?

Pros

Fairywill Pro P11 Review

Fairywill P11 Pro Electric Toothbrush Laid on Back

Editor’s Note

As of 6th July 2021, Fairywill has stopped selling all of its oral care products via Amazon.

This action came without warning.  

The company has issued an announcement to say that the company is being rebranded, with a new brand due to launch in September.

It is not clear if the same products will return, under the new brand.

Unless you wish to wait until September, we recommend opting for the Oral-B Pro 2 2500 instead.

Our Verdict

As is the case with many Fairywill electric toothbrushes, the Pro P11 offers exceptional value for money.

It cleans the teeth well and has the essential features most of us need built-in. 

You could buy inferior products for the same, or more money.

There is little to fault with this product.

We all have different opinions on design and styling. And although the P11 is a reddot design award winner, I think part of the simplicity and ease of use has been lost.

The ring light is part of the design.  But, it actually makes it more difficult to know which cleaning mode you have selected. And the travel case just feels a little more awkward than it needs to be.

Nonetheless, it is a solid toothbrush. Like other Fairywill products I do wonder what is the catch here? 

Pros

  • Design
  • 3 cleaning modes
  • Built-In timer and pacer
  • Battery life
  • Value for money
  • Travel case

Cons

  • Design
  • No pressure sensor
  • Charging port
  • Travel case

Oclean X Review

A stylish sonic toothbrush with a colour screen built into the handle and smart features for an affordable price.

Oral-B Genius 10000 Review & Comparison

Oral-B Genius 10000 Review

Editor’s Note

NOT CURRENTLY A UK BRUSH.

The 10,000 was launched some time after the Genius 9000, which for several years was the flagship Oral-B electric toothbrush.

Many questioned the difference between the 9 and 10,000. This article answers this query.

However, in 2019, the Genius X was launched and this supersedes both the Genius 9000 and 10000.

The X is my recommendation.

Oral-B Genius X Review

An excellent toothbrush with lots of features. Not quite as refined as competing products.

Oral-B iO Review

The iO is Oral-B’s flagship toothbrush. It’s got a slick design and is packed with technology.

Philips Sonicare ExpertClean Review

Philips Sonicare ExpertClean

Our Verdict

The Sonicare ExpertClean is an excellent electric toothbrush.

There are many desirable features. The brush head replacement reminder system and the in-case charging, are just 2 of many that this brush others.

The ExpertClean, unfortunately, falls a fraction short on the Bluetooth functionality. It does not offer true real-time tracking as other Sonicare models do.

The likes of the DiamondClean Smart from Sonicare and Oral-B Genius X are arguably more rounded products.

Pros

  • Design and materials
  • Multiple cleaning modes
  • Built-in timer and pacer
  • Built-in pressure sensor
  • Brush head replacement reminder system
  • Battery life
  • Charging travel case

Cons

Waterpik Sonic-Fusion Review

Waterpik Sonic-Fusion Review

Editor’s Note

The images used in this review are of the USA variant of the Sonic-Fusion. The images show a black with copper coloured variant of the device, which is not currently available in the UK. Aside from the colour and plug all other elements are the same.

Our Verdict

As a concept idea, this is a great idea.

However, sadly the actual product fails to deliver.

You are best buying a separate water flosser and electric toothbrush rather than this combo option.

Pros

  • Stylish design
  • Toothbrush and water flosser
  • Built-in timer
  • 10 pressure settings

Cons

  • Battery life
  • Expensive (see other choices)
  • Combines two products into one
  • Not suitable for all — only 1 style tip
  • Water flosser is not portable

Oral-B Pro 1 680 Review Header Image

Our Verdict

The Oral-B Pro 1 680 definitely gets the job done.

It is a no nonsense, simple to use electric toothbrush that cleans the teeth well.

The battery life isn’t as good as is claimed. 

Irrespective it is pretty good value for money when you consider you get a travel case included in the box.

But, you don’t have to spend much more to get the Oral-B Pro 2 2500 which I consider to be an all round better buy.

Pros

  • Slim & grippy handle
  • 1 cleaning mode
  • Built-in timer & pacer
  • Pressure sensor
  • Travel case
  • Good value

Cons

  • Better products exist for not much extra spend (see other choices)
  • Pressure sensor

Philips Sonicare DiamondClean Review

philips sonicare diamond clean review

Our Verdict

The DiamondClean is a smart looking toothbrush that cleans the teeth really well.

The additional cleaning modes and in case charging are particularly appealing.

Other models now offer better value for most.

Pros

  • Stylish, minimal design available in 5 colour options
  • 3 brush heads included in the box
  • 3 solid weeks of battery life
  • Travel case that supports in case charging

Cons

  • No pressure sensor to alert you if brushing too hard
  • Design is such that it lacks some practical grips
  • No Bluetooth
  • Better value options (see other choices)

Quip Toothbrush Review

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is Quip_Electric_Toothbrush-16-1.jpg

Our Verdict

The main reason to choose Quip instead of a regular electric toothbrush is for the subscription option, or the travel benefits. 

However, as a seasoned electric toothbrush user, the motor feels weak, and the clean no better that a manual brush and certainly not as invigorating as deep cleaning as other electric brushes I have used. 

We have outlined some alternatives worth considering in the sections below. 

Pros

  • 1 cleaning mode
  • Design
  • Built-in timer
  • Built-in cover that doubles up as a wall mount
  • Subscription service
  • American Dental Association approved

Cons

  • Cleaning experience feels weak in comparison other brushes
  • Awkward power button position
  • No battery status/feedback
  • No pressure sensor
  • As a US based service, it is a more expensive option for those in the UK

Oral-B Smart 5 5000 Review

Oral-B Smart 5 5000 Review 3

Our Verdict

A superb toothbrush, that is arguably better than models more expensive than this.

The handle is slim and light and cleans the teeth really well, whilst giving features not found on the most basic toothbrushes.

Pros

  • Slim handled brush with good grip
  • 2 week battery life
  • Pressure sensor – be alerted when brushing too hard
  • Bluetooth connectivity for pairing with a smartphone via the app
  • Good box contents

Cons

  • Not easy to know which cleaning mode is selected
  • No dedicated cleaning mode control button
  • Bluetooth connectivity will not be for all

Oral-B Pro 3 3000 Review

Oral-B Pro 3 3000 Review 5

Our Verdict

It is slim, lightweight, comfortable to hold, offers several cleaning modes and leaves your mouth feeling lovely and clean.

It also has a better battery life than it once did.

There is not really much to fault here.

However, in our opinion better value is achieved by opting for the Oral-B Pro 2 2500, whilst more features are gained in the Smart 5.

Pros

  • Slim handled brush with good grip
  • 2 week battery life
  • Pressure sensor — be alerted when brushing too hard

Cons

  • Inclusion of a sensitive brush head would have been good
  • Better value options exist (see other choices)

Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 5100 Review

Sonicare ProtectiveClean 5100 Review

Our Verdict

If you want the ‘best value’ electric toothbrush going without lots of extra features this is not the one for you.

But, if you want something a little more capable, with a few more nice to haves then the 5100 is worth serious consideration.

However, the ProtectiveClean 4300 will be a better value buy for many,

Pros

  • 3 cleaning modes
  • BrushSync technology – reminder when brush heads need replacing
  • Pressure sensor
  • Long battery life

Cons

Editor’s Note

The SG-507 has been discontinued.  As an alternative, we recommend checking out the Oral-B Pro 2 2500, which we rate as the best electric toothbrush.

Our Verdict

A satisfactory toothbrush.

It is perfectly usable, but brushes like the Oral-B Pro 2 2500 are much more appealing.

Pros

  • 5 cleaning modes
  • Built-in timer
  • Automatic power off
  • Long battery life
  • MicoUSB charging

Cons

  • Brand awareness – a relatively unknown brand

Philips Sonicare DiamondClean 9000 Review

DiamondClean 9000 on its side

Our Verdict

The DiamondClean 9000 is an electric toothbrush that cleans the teeth very well.

It helps encourage you and me to brush our teeth for longer and to a better standard.

It is a refined and premium product with innovative technology.  

The included USB travel charging case is a great accessory.

The DiamondClean commands a price relative to other Sonicare products.  However, the price is difficult to justify when you consider alternatives.

Pros

  • Design and materials
  • Multiple cleaning modes
  • Built-in timer and pacer
  • Built-in pressure sensor

Our Verdict

A very capable electric toothbrush that does a superb job of cleaning the teeth, whilst being supplied with value added extras.

For those wanting a feature rich and capable brush, go for the Genius X instead.

If you want something more cost effective, consider the Pro 2 2500.

Pros

  • 5 different cleaning modes
  • Good box contents including travel case
  • Pressure sensor – be alerted when brushing too hard
  • Bluetooth connectivity for pairing with smartphone app to track cleaning performance
  • Position detection – clever concept for real-time tracking

The Colgate ProClincial 250R is a smart and strong performing electric toothbrush that delivers value for money.

A replacement to the 250+, the 250R has a refreshed design. It looks a little more stylish than some of the competition, but sadly this new model has worse battery life and loses the very handy travel cap/protective case that used to come supplied with 250+.

  • 1 cleaning mode

Ordo Sonic+ Review

ordo sonic plus on its side

Our Verdict

The Ordo Sonic+ is a very good electric toothbrush that I could happily use on a daily basis.

It cleans the teeth well, has a good battery life and the subscription plan is appealing.

The lack of a travel case and pressure sensor is a bit of a disappointment, as is having no brush head only refill plan.

Nonetheless, there is a lot to like and the Sonic+ is worth serious consideration. I rate it as the best subscription toothbrush you can buy in the UK at the moment.

Pros

  • Subscription service
  • Built-in timer and pacer
  • Automatic power off
  • Battery life
  • USB charging stand
  • 60 day money back guarantee
  • Lifetime warranty (if subscribed)

Cons

Foreo ISSA Hybrid Review

Foreo ISSA Hybrid Review 15

Editor’s Note

We have now completed our Foreo ISSA 2 Review, which is the newer version of the Foreo ISSA / ISSA Hybrid. Whereas we rate the ISSA 2 3/5, we rate the original ISSA 4/5 and that remains our recommended choice at the moment.

Our Verdict

It is an expensive toothbrush considering what it offers.

There is a uniqueness and feeling of quality to the product.

For the vast majority, significantly more value will be gained by going for a different electric toothbrush.

Pros

  • Ergonomic and unique design
  • Made from silicone
  • 8 adjustable intensity settings
  • Up to 6 months battery life

Cons

  • Expensive compared to a similarly featured brush

It is very difficult to justify the price tag of the ISSA 2.

It makes a statement and it does look good and feel good in hand.

However, other brushes like the Oral-B Pro 2 2500 represent much better value for money.

Pros

  • Ergonomic and unique design

  • 16 adjustable intensity settings

For anything less than about £70 you are getting a decent brush, but better deals exist.

Pros

  • 1 cleaning mode
  • Long battery life
  • Built-in timer
  • Travel case included

Cons

  • No pressure sensor to alert you when brushing too hard
  • Better value options exist (see other choices)

Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 6100 Review

Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 6100 Review 21

Our Verdict

Like any Sonicare toothbrush, it cleans the teeth really well.

Technically it is a solid choice, as it has all the things you need, plus a bit more.

The problem is though, just how many people need or want these extra features and are they prepared to pay for them?

You can get better value from the lesser featured Sonicare 4300.

Pros

  • 3 cleaning modes
  • BrushSync technology — reminder when brush heads need replacing
  • Pressure sensor
  • Long battery life

Our Verdict

It is certainly compact and travel friendly, but the cleaning performance is below the standard it needs to be. It feels week and unsatisfying.

Our Verdict

I like this toothbrush a great deal.

Comfortable in hand, it offers a good clean and the brush is nice and easy to use.

There are some clever features built-in and a 3 week battery, what is there not to like?

It comes down to value for money, there are more cost effective choices.

Philips Sonicare FlexCare+ Review

Philips Sonicare FlexCare+ Review 23

Our Verdict

The FlexCare Plus just works and does so well.

It has the core requirements of an electric toothbrush firmly covered,  The standard of clean is good as is the quality of the brush.

There is the travel case for those on the go and the UV santisier for those concerned about the bacteria.

But, your money is better spent on other models, you get a much better return.  Seriously consider the ProtectiveClean 4300

Pros

  • 5 cleaning modes

  • Long battery life
  • UV sanitiser included

  • No pressure sensor to alert when brushing to hard

Philips Sonicare 5 Series Gum Health Review

Sonicare Series 5 Review

Our Verdict

The 5 Series is a great toothbrush. It cleans the teeth and gums really well.

The battery life is top notch, the build quality is superb and built-in features like the timer, pacer and EasyStart are highly regarded.

The 5 Series lacks a decent box contents and the price is rarely favourable.

It is good value at £50 or less. If prices are higher I strongly encourage you to consider the alternatives, you may just get a bit more bang for your buck.

Pros

  • 2 cleaning modes
  • 3 different brushing intensities
  • Built-in timer
  • Long battery life
  • Quality materials

Cons

  • No pressure sensor to alert you when brushing too hard

It cleans the teeth well.

Oral-B Pro 6500 Review

Oral-B Pro 6500 Review

Editor’s Note

The Oral-B Pro 6500 is still a current model being sold by major retailers, but it has technically been replaced with the Smart 6 6000 (view on Amazon).

The Smart 6 offers a refreshed design, improved battery life and features.

You can find out more about it and what we think of it by viewing our Oral-B Smart 6 6000 review.

Our Verdict

The Pro 6500 provides a very good clean of the teeth and has a number of features that make this a pleasure to use, whilst encouraging better oral health.

The box contents is good too.

The Bluetooth function works, but requires dedication from the user to gain value from it.

Oral-B Teen Review

Oral-B Teen Review 25

Our Verdict

A slim handled toothbrush that cleans the teeth really well.

It is a ‘smart’ toothbrush, which isn’t necessary or required by all., but, at the time of review, this is the best value Bluetooth enabled toothbrushes available today, all brands considered.

Including a travel case would be have been nice, but considering the audience.

Teen’s and adults alike can gain a lot from this electric toothbrush. If you make full use of what it offers you will have healthier teeth and gums.

Pros

  • Better value alternative to almost identical Smart 4 4000
  • Slim handled brush with good grip with interesting design
  • 2+ week battery life
  • Pressure sensor – be alerted when brushing too hard
  • Bluetooth connectivity for pairing with smartphone app
  • Built-in timer and quadpacer

Arm & Hammer Spinbrush Review

Arm & Hammer Spinbrush Review

Our Verdict

The Arm & Hammer Spinbrush provides a more consistent power delivery and offers a clean that will exceed that experienced by most people using a manual brush.

Being powered by conventional AA batteries is a real win should you be away from fixed power for a long time or simply do not want the hassle of having a charging dock.

However, the brush has too many weaknesses to make this a viable alternative to the more expensive, but better engineered electric brushes from brands such as Braun and Philips if you intend to use it on a daily basis.

Pros

  • Removable AA batteries
  • Cheap

Cons

Oral-B Pro 650 Review

Oral-B Pro 650 Review

Editor’s Note

Since this review was created, the box contents has altered.

In almost all circumstances the Pro 650 is supplied with a tube of toothpaste, rather than the travel case mentioned and shown in this review.

The brush has not changed, just the included box contents.

If you particularly want a travel case, the Oral-B Pro 680 comes with a case included.

Our Verdict

A good electric toothbrush, it does what you need and expect.

Pros

  • Slim handled brush with good grip

Oral-B Pro 600 Review

Our Verdict

It is cheap, cheerful and functional.

It may sound like there are sacrifices but the performance and build quality are as good as any brush three times the price.

There is no arguing that this is a good electric toothbrush for the majority and you are not wasting money if you buy one.

However, as good as the Pro 600 is, the Oral-B Pro 2 2500 is, for many, a better buy.

The Oral-B Pro 2 2500 is pricier, but it brings more cleaning power, double the battery life, an extra cleaning mode and a visible pressure sensor.

Pros

  • 1 cleaning mode
  • Built-in timer
  • Slim handle

Cons

  • Better products exist for not much extra spend (see other choices)

Oral-B Genius 9000 Review

Oral-B Genius 9000 with phone

Our Verdict

The Genius 9000 represents a blend of features and innovation for the price. There is no denying that it is a very capable electric toothbrush.

It offers more than the average user needs and unless you will use all the tech, better value can be achieved from alternative models.

If you want smart technology it has it, but for most, better value will be achieved through other models.

Pros

  • Cleaning performance

  • Bluetooth connectivity for pairing with a smartphone via an app

Colgate Connect E1 Review

Colgate Connect E1 Review - Header Image

Our Verdict

The Colgate Connect E1 is a smart electric toothbrush that aims to use Artificial Intelligence to improve your brushing habits.

However, whilst the brush works, the unreliable app and other annoyances are showstoppers at present.

The E1 is not representative of Colgate’s usual high standards. Conceptually this brush is the future, but sadly in practice, it is a step back.

Pros

  • 1 cleaning mode
  • Small brush head
  • Slim & lightweight design
  • 2 week battery life
  • Smartphone app for tracking cleaning performance
  • Multiple use profiles in app

Cons

  • Buggy & unreliable app

Philips Sonicare 2 Series Review

Philips Sonciare 2 Series Review - Header Image

Our Verdict

On the whole, the Sonicare 2 Series is far from a bad brush.

It cleans well, has the basic functions you need and a battery life that is more than satisfactory.  Hey, it even comes with a battery status icon that some brushes simply don’t.

What lets the 2 Series down is the price.  It is just too expensive to really be considered justifiable against other brushes available today.

Spend a fraction more and you get the much better ProtectiveClean 4300.

Pros

  • 1 cleaning mode
  • Built-in timer
  • Automatic power off

Cons

  • Older battery technology used
  • No pressure sensor to alert you when brushing to hard
  • Better value options exist (see other choices)

Philips Sonicare FlexCare Review

Sonicare FlexCare Review

Editor’s Note

The naming system to Sonicare brushes can be confusing at the best of times, but in this instance it is particularly confusing.

The brushes we are referring to in this review are the FlexCare range. However, there is also a FlexCare+, which we have reviewed here.

In the Amazon product description for the FlexCare, Amazon refer to this as the FlexCare+, but as far as we can tell — going by Sonicare’s listings on their own site — that is a mistake; it should be called the FlexCare. It is listed as the FlexCare in the Amazon product title – it is just the description and comparison table that are incorrect.

Our Verdict

A solid toothbrush that would serve you very well.

However, it has a slightly dated design and lacks a certain wow factor.  There are other brushes, like the 4300 ProetectiveClean that sacrifice features but are just as powerful and better value.

Pros

  • Multiple cleaning modes
  • Built in timer
  • Long battery life
  • Travel case included

Cons

  • Design looks a little dated in comparison to alternative
  • No pressure sensor built in to tell you when you are brushing to hard
  • Better value options exist (see other choices)
