Electric Toothbrush Reviews

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

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
Battery life

Oral-B Pro 2 2500 Review

Our Verdict

Superb, excellent, brilliant are all words that can be used to describe the Oral-B Pro 2 2500.

Compared to last year’s model only the battery life (and the name) has changed. It now lasts twice as long and the 16 day battery life is admirable.

It is slim, comfortable in hand and provides a good clean — there is little to dislike or complain about this brush. It has all you need of an electric toothbrush and will do you proud.

Pros

Slim handled brush with good grip
Built-in timer
2 week battery life
Pressure sensor – be alerted when brushing too hard
Travel case included

Cons

Battery status – More feedback would be good

Philips Sonicare DiamondClean 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)

Oral-B iO Review

Our Verdict

The iO is the best looking and performing Oral-B toothbrush I have ever used. And as you would expect, it cleans the teeth really well.

It introduces significant enhancements in the overall mechanical design, noise and appearance compared to existing Oral-B toothbrushes.

The iO is a top of the line toothbrush and the price tag reflects this.

Essential features are present, as are some arguably less than essential ones.

Including a colour display in the handle and items like the pressure sensor make the iO very appealing.

The real-time 3D teeth tracking is clever and encourages better brushing, but it is not without faults. Few are likely to commit to using the app on a daily basis.

If you want the very best of Oral-B today, this is it, but for something so pricey, there is still scope for improvement.

If you are conscious of budget, my advice would be to go for our best value recommendation here. Or if you would like some smart features at a more affordable price, go for the Genius X.

Pros

Cleaning action
Built-in timer and pacer
Pressure sensor
Design
OLED display
Magnetic charger
Bluetooth & AI technology
Noise

Cons

Brush heads
Pressure sensor
Box contents
OLED display
Travel case
Bluetooth & AI technology
Expensive (better value options exist)

Oral-B Smart 5 5000 Review

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

Oral-B Pro 3 3000 Review

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

Philips 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

Oral-B SMART 6 6000 Review

Our Verdict

The Smart 6 is solid and if you want or need the extra cleaning modes and features it offers, then I doubt you will be disappointed.

Most importantly it cleans well, offers choice and reasonable box contents.

Pros

Smart looking brush handle
Multiple cleaning modes
Bluetooth connectivity for pairing with a smartphone app to track cleaning progress
Pressure sensor – be alerted when brushing too hard

Cons

Only 4 of the 5 cleaning modes displayed on the brush handle
Bluetooth connectivity requires a commitment to get full value

Seago SG-507 Review

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

Philips Sonicare DiamondClean 9000 Review

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
Brush head replacement reminder system
Battery life

Cons

Not a visible pressure sensor

Oral-B Pro 2 2000 / 2900 Review

Our Verdict

An excellent electric toothbrush, this does not dissapoint.

A slim profile that looks smart and feels good in the hand, the 2 2000* doesn’t try to challenge with innovations like premium models do. Instead, it is focused on offering a good quality clean at a reasonable price.

It is a great choice for your first electric toothbrush. That said, the Pro 2 2500, comes with a travel case and is often as cheap, if not cheaper than the 2000.

* There are several variants of this brush; the 2000n, 2000w, 2000s and 2900 to name but a few. This review is applicable to all of them.

Pros

Slim handled brush with good grip
2 week battery life
Built-in timer
Pressure sensor – be alerted when brushing too hard

Cons

A basic box contents
Battery status – More feedback would be good
Pro 2 2500 is often better value (learn more)

Philips Sonicare ExpertClean Review

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

No real-time brushing feedback
No brush head storage

Oral-B Genius 8000 Review

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

Cons

4 cleaning mode icons, but 5 cleaning modes

Oral-B Genius X Review

Our Verdict

The Oral-B Genius X is an extremely good electric toothbrush.

It looks the part, feels solid in the hand and cleans the teeth really well.

The Genius X demonstrates how technology can be used effectively, to help you improve and ultimately achieve the best oral health care standards. As a result, at your next dental checkup, you should gain the praise of your dentist.

If you desire to own one of the smartest and top performing brushes on the market today then this is certainly one of the best options.

However, the Genius X is not perfect in my opinion and there is potential for improvement.

The brush lacks the finer details and quality that come with the likes of the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean Smart and ExpertClean toothbrushes for example.

The charging travel case for the Genius is useful, but the Sonicare implementation is considerably more convenient to use.

I do also think that there is scope for smarter graphics and diagrams in the app to enhance the way that it educates you about the areas of the teeth you have and have not brushed.

The Genius X gets my vote of confidence for sure, but in reality, it is a more feature-rich and expensive toothbrush than you necessarily need. There are cheaper brushes that clean the teeth just as well. You pay a premium for the added features and box contents it comes with.

Pros

Cleaning action
Built-in timer and pacer
Pressure sensor
Design
Bluetooth & AI technology

Cons

Box contents
Travel case
Cleaning mode icons

Colgate ProClinical 250R Review

Our Verdict

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

Ordo Sonic+ Review

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

No pressure sensor
No travel case

Xiaomi Mi Electric Toothbrush Review

Our Verdict

The Mi electric toothbrush is far from a bad toothbrush and is certainly not bad value.

But, it isn’t as great.

Having spent several weeks testing it, I prefer the alternatives.

The Bluetooth connectivity and data transfer can be buggy and the data received from the brush isn’t all that useful.

It also lacks some of the added value that I have come to expect of the far eastern brands, that often challenge the dominant brands.

Pros

Minimalist design
Good cleaning action
Bluetooth connectivity for pairing to smartphone
Cleaning mode customisation via an app

Cons

Not easy to tell which cleaning mode is selected
App and tracking data are not great
Battery life worse than expected

Oral-B Genius 10000 Review & Comparison

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.

Oclean X Review

Editor’s Note

Please refer to the ‘variants’ section of the review to learn the differences between the Oclean X and X Pro.

Our Verdict

The Oclean X cleans the teeth well and looks lovely.

It charges quickly, has a long battery life and the magnetic mount is brilliant.

The position tracking is better than I anticipated.

But, the small colour display that is one of the key selling points of this brush is frustrating to use and the associated smartphone app needs a bit of work.

Given what it offers for the price, it is impressive, but I would happily spend a little more if certain things were improved.

Pros

Stylish
Magnetic holder/charging stand
Built-in timer and pacer
Battery life
Cleaning customisation
Price

Cons

Display touch controls
Smartphone app
Lack of grips
Magnetic holder/charging stand
MicroUSB charging cable

Foreo ISSA Hybrid Review

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

Our Verdict

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

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

Oral-B Smart 4 4000 Review

Our Verdict

There is no denying that the Smart 4 4000 cleans the teeth and mouth well. It offers a pretty decent battery life, whilst also looking fairly good and feeling solid and slim in hand.

At the time of writing, it is the cheapest brush in the Oral-B range to offer Bluetooth connectivity and for that, it deserves some credit.

But, the box contents lacks, there should be some form of smartphone stand included and ideally a travel case.

Even if this added £10 to the price it would have rounded off the package and made this a really solid buy. A better choice would be the Smart 5 5000, in our opinion.

Pros

Slim handled brush with good grip
2 week battery life
Pressure sensor — be alerted when brushing too hard
Bluetooth connectivity for pairing with smartphone app

Cons

Box contents lacks a little
Not easy to tell which cleaning mode is selected
No dedicated cleaning mode control button
Better value options exist (see other choices)

Philips Sonicare CleanCare+ Review

Our Verdict

If you are looking for a cheap but reliable electric toothbrush that does a good job of cleaning your teeth, then the CleanCare+ has that box ticked.

It is a bit thick and heavy and you don’t need to spend much more to get a slimmer and lighter model with a better battery life.

Pros

1 cleaning mode
Built-in timer

Cons

Design, sub par with many other models

Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 6100 Review

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

Philips Sonicare FlexCare+ Review

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

Philips Sonicare 5 Series Gum Health 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.

Oral-B Teen Review

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

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

No timer or pacer

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.

Fairywill FW-917 Review

Editor’s Note

October 2019: The FW-917 covered in this review, has been discontinued by Fairywill. The company still offer a range of great value toothbrushes. The FW-507 (view or review here) or view it here on Amazon is the logical replacement within the Fairywill range. We do strongly advise considering the Oral-B Pro 2 2500.

Editor’s Note

Please be aware this review looks at just one electric toothbrush from Fairywill, the FW-917.

They do have a number of other models, that offer different cleaning modes, features and box contents. At this time we have not completed separate reviews of these other models.

There are similarities across these models, but the naming convention for these brushes is complicated, so be sure to take care in picking the right one for you.

Whilst we have yet to review all the models independently, by reading this review you may pick up some information and insight that might apply to those other models and allow you to make a more informed purchasing decision.

Our Verdict

The Fairywill FW-917 is a toothbrush that represents absolutely excellent value for money.

It does not feel the most premium, but it offers what you need including a brilliant battery life.

Pros

Slim and lightweight
3 cleaning modes
Built-in timer and pacer
Up to a month’s battery life
Box contents is good

Cons

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.

Solimo Rechargeable Toothbrush Review

Our Verdict

For the price, it is not a terrible toothbrush, there is a lot to like.

Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 4300 Review

Our Verdict

The Sonicare ProtectiveClean 4300 is a very good electric toothbrush, featuring Sonciare’s BrushSync reminder technology.

The built-in timer and pacer are very welcomed, as are the automatic power off and EasyStart technologies.

Simplicity comes in the form of just 1 cleaning mode, with the option of changing the cleaning intensity. And the battery life is fantastic.

Sadly the overriding negative is the price — there are alternatives that could be considered within or below this price range.

Pros

1 cleaning mode
Built-in timer
Travel case included

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
Poor brush head availability
No pressure sensor to alert you when brushing too hard

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)

Fairywill FW-507 Review

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

Philips 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)

Oral-B Vitality / Vitality Plus Review

Editor’s Note

Since this review’s original publication, Oral-B has updated the Vitality (in 2018).

This review has therefore been updated to reflect our thoughts on the ‘newer’ 2018 model.

The differences compared to the previous model of the same name, are relatively subtle.

We have included information on the differences, along with images of the older model, in the ‘Variants of this brush‘ section of the review.

Some retailers still stock the older model, so we wish for you to be aware of the differences.

This review also encompasses the Oral-B Vitality Pro, which is only different to the Vitality in terms of colour, and the fact that an extra brush head comes in the box with it. We explain this in further detail here.

Our Verdict

A good choice if you are on a budget.

The Oral-B Vitality will provide benefits over a manual toothbrush.

However, investing a little extra might well be worthwhile.

Pros

1 cleaning mode
Built-in timer
A small round brush head
Grip on handle

Cons

Battery life/status
Better value options exist (see other choices)
