Best Electric Toothbrushes of 2025 - Expert Tested (2025)

Pros

• Affordable brush and brush head replacements
• Two-minute brush timer, low battery alert and pressure sensor
• ADA seal of acceptance

Cons

• Not as high tech as Philips Sonicare or iO Series
• Only one brush mode

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 two-minute timer that signals you to move mouth quadrants every 30 seconds.

I tested the Oral-B Pro 1000 for a week, and it was my favorite product due to its simplicity and impressive cleaning abilities. 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.

Pros

• Pressure sensors and automatically adjusts
• Bluetooth capabilities with an impressive app
• Reminds you to replace your brush head

Cons

• Not for people who want a rotating brush head
• Expensive

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; a gentle nudge to let me know to lighten the pressure. The brush also automatically adjusts intensity if you're pushing too hard.

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

Another great feature of this brush is the reminders. If you have trouble remembering when to replace your brush heads, Philips' BrushSync technology will tell you how long you've been using your brush head. A light on the handle will blink and the Sonic toothbrush will beep, letting you know it's time to order a new one.

Pros

• Sustainable design
• Eco-friendly packaging
• Recycling program

Cons

• Pricier than other options
• Lack of app connectivity

The SURI electric toothbrush redefines sustainable oral care by offering a product that prioritizes performance and environmental responsibility. The SURI toothbrush is built with a light aluminum body that can be repaired, refurbished or recycled. Its replaceable and fully recyclable brush heads help reduce waste (replacement heads come with a with a free pre-paid mailer bag made from compostable material so you can send back the used brush head to be recycled).

The brush also has 30-second timers to let you know when it's 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've tested (lasts up to 40 days). It's also pretty quiet at just 54dB.

Pros

• Quiet and great for travel
• Good for sensitive gums
• Two-minute brush timer

Cons

• Only one brushing mode
• Doesn't come with an interactive app

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.

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.

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.

Pros

• Ideal brush for infant to toddler transition
• Perfect size for toddler hands
• Charge lasts a long time
• Vibration isn’t too loud that it scares children

Cons

• Could use more brush heads
• There isn’t a cover to protect it from other grime in the bathroom

I’d been searching for a toothbrush for my 1.5-year-old but had no luck with the traditional brushes. He loves the Pure Enrichment PureBaby Infant-to-Toddler Electric Toothbrush. This toothbrush has improved my ability to brush my son’s teeth and keep him entertained while doing so. He’s 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’s hand.

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’t hurt my son’s 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 awhile before it needs a charge. I’ve only charged it once since I received it, and it’s been over a month.

Pros

• Small handle and brush head
• Available in two colors and comes with fun stickers for the handle
• Two-minute timer

Cons

• Not the same battery life as Oral-B adult brushes
• Brush head replacements are more expensive than adults'

The Oral-B Kid's Color Changing Electric Toothbrush is my pick for the best electric toothbrush for kids. The handle feels small in my adult palm, so it's 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.

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's time to replace the brush head.

Pros

• 3D teeth tracking, smart pressure sensor and LED indicator lights
• Convenient travel case
• ADA seal of acceptance

Cons

• On the expensive side
• The more I used this brush, the more I had to charge it

This Oral-B electric toothbrush is similar to other Oral-B brushes, except the bristles on this brush felt softer than the Oral-B Pro 1000. That's a big bonus for anyone with sensitive gums, as is the real-time coaching that tells you if you're brushing too hard. The Oral-B iO also has a quieter motor compared with the Pro 1000.

The display offers an impressive amount of information. Based on the lit-up icon, you can easily tell what mode you're 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.

Pros

• Small brush head can easily maneuver around the mouth
• The power of Sonicare in a small, sleek brush
• An extremely great value

Cons

• Not as affordable as the Phillips One brush
• Not for those who want large brush heads that cover more area

This Phillips 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’t 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’s vibration is hushed, especially on the first cleaning mode.

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’s high-end products. If you are interested in a traditional Phillips Sonicare brush but don’t want to pay a hefty price tag, I recommend this model.

Pros

• Quiet and sleek design
• Light-up ring at the base of the brush head indicates correct and incorrect pressure
• Two-minute brush timer and two sensitivity settings
• Smart hub acts as brush head cleaner with UV sanitizing, drying and wireless charging

Cons

• Using the smart hub as a carrying case is large and requires to be plugged in to activate cleaning mode
• A travel case with the toothbrush and smart hub is an extra $30

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's enamel.

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.

Pros

• Most of the same technology as later iO Series at a lower cost
• ADA seal of acceptance
• Simple and straightforward modes and features

Cons

• Doesn’t come with a travel case
• Not for those who want an interactive app

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's 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.

If you are 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.

Pros

• Real-time coaching via app
• Travel case included
• Quiet, compared to other high-powered electric toothbrushes

Cons

• High price tag at $230
• Brush head replacements are pricey

Brushing my teeth with this smart toothbrush has become one of my favorite parts of my morning routine. The app syncs with the toothbrush in real time and corrects my techniques if I brush too hard or skip any areas. 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.

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.

Pros

• Sleek, compact and weightless design
• Dynamic touch bar allows you to control speed
• Minimal grim and waste with changeable brush pods

Cons

• Replacement heads are almost three times more expensive than normal
• Not ADA accepted

Prior to testing, I was only familiar with Quip’s Sonic toothbrush. The Quip Ultra is a huge step up in terms of look, feel, technology and overall performance. It is made almost entirely of silicone and is one of the most cohesive, smooth and compact toothbrushes on this list. It stands out with its touch bar feature that controls the speed; I counted about 13 different speed levels.

The Quip Ultra doesn’t have replaceable brush heads but brush pods. The neck of the brush stays intact, and only the bristles pop in and out. This way, there is less gunk hiding in your brush's little crevices. I did have to watch a video on how to successfully remove the brush pod (push up until it clicks and then turn it 90 degrees to pull it out), but then I was able to test changing the head.

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’ve traveled with this brush, and it is very convenient when my bags are overflowing with too much stuff.

Pros

• Very gentle bristles that don’t irritate gums
• Hardwear feels sleek, sturdy and high-quality in hand
• Available in fun themes such as Hello Kitty and Barbie

Cons

• Case is hard to open and prone to breaking
• Not ADA approved

I have an extremely sensitive mouth, and an intense electric toothbrush can easily irritate my gums. When I first inspected the brush head on the Moon Electric Toothbrush, I was a little intimidated. It is twice as big as most of the brush heads on this list, yet I was pleasantly surprised at how gentle it felt on my teeth. The bristles are very soft and flexible; I never felt like they were tearing up my gums.

The handle is sturdy and feels as solid as an Oral-B or Phillips Sonicare product. Moon has more brush modes than most I have tested. The five include clean, white, polish, massage and sensitive. I used the clean and sensitive modes the most, but I found the first clean setting about as gentle and sensitive.

The case it comes with is the biggest drawback to this product. It is very difficult to open, and I’ve hurt my fingers trying to pry it. I don’t recommend using the case; maybe find another carrier.

Pros

• ADA seal of acceptance
• Includes eight replacement heads
• Brushes similar to a Phillips Sonicare

Cons

• Plastic brush heads feel cheap
• Travel case is flimsy and can break easily

The AquaSonic Black Series electric toothbrush is similar to popular, high-end brands. Specifically, I think it’s 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’s the most I’ve 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’s made of thin plastic.

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 -- 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.
