If the brush had Bluetooth connectivity, we tested the app.Īt the end of each three-day run, we evaluated the toothbrushes on the following questions: The finalists were given an extra six sessions for further evaluation. To get a feel for each of the products in this guide, Becky used each brush twice a day for three days, for a total of six sessions. She chose products across the price spectrum and made sure to include brushes beyond Oral-B and Philips–the two biggest players in this category. With this information, Becky narrowed down the list of potential products to test to nine. We also like its clever case design, which protects the toothbrush and is easy to remove when it's time for a good old-fashioned tooth cleaning.Īfter reading expert and user reviews, David conducted interviews with several powered toothbrush brands to get a sense of how different powered toothbrush designs work. Start brushing and the One will let you know, after two minutes, that it’s time to stop. The most significant feature that the One offers is its built-in timer. There's no need for charging since it runs on a single AAA battery This makes it an ideal electric toothbrush for travel, where lugging along another charger and cord in addition to the ones you need for the rest of your devices, may not be desirable. The handle is slender, making it easy to hold and change angles while brushing. The One's brush head has a lovely taper at the tip, giving it great reach for all your molars. As such, your brushing technique is much more important with a toothbrush like this than with more advanced models, which feature spinning bristles and the like. With less vibration comes less noise, and the One is quieter than other toothbrushes. The Philips Sonicare One’s assistance for cleaning is slight compared to our Best Overall pick: the head of the One vibrates slightly, as you brush your teeth. If using an electric toothbrush is uncharted territory for you, we recommend trying one that offers a brushing experience similar to what a regular toothbrush provides. What’s more, after brushing, my mouth felt great. The amount of dyed plaque was that minor. After chewing a plaque tablet (more on that in our 'how we tested' section), I could have walked outside without brushing again and I don’t think anyone would have noticed. Most importantly, during testing, it beat every other toothbrush in this guide in the area of plaque removal. It’s a great reminder for you to change your brushing angle and the area of your mouth that’s being worked on. We liked that its two-minute brushing timer is broken up into 30-second intervals.

But it doesn’t make enough noise to rattle the teeth out of your head, either.

It’s not the quietest toothbrush we tested for this guide.

During testing, we found the Pro 3000’s noise level was acceptable. The battery lasts at least a week which is a reasonable expectation for an electric toothbrush. It’s a feature, no matter the price point, that every electric toothbrush should have. This eliminates the mystery of whether or not its battery is being charged. The indicator flashes to confirm the toothbrush has made a proper connection with the charger. In addition to the Pro 3000’s pressure sensor–a red LED that flashes when you’re pushing too hard on your teeth–this toothbrush now has a charging indicator and battery life LED as well. These additional tweaks to an already great electric toothbrush helped it to remain as our Best Overall pick. Since the first time we tested it, the Oral B Pro 3000 has been given a couple of upgrades. Here are the best electric toothbrushes we tested ranked, in order: In the end, we found that the Oral B Pro 3000 ( available at Amazon for $89.94) is the best electric toothbrush for most people, thanks to a few small but meaningful features that make your brushing more effective.įor folks who are electric toothbrush curious but hesitant to invest, our Best Value pick, the Philips One ( available at Amazon for $89.94) will get you started, at an easy-to-chew-on price. For this guide, we also interviewed a periodontist from the Harvard School of Dental Medicine. For our most recent update, we spent two months brushing our teeth with nine of the top products on the market. To find out which electric toothbrush you should buy we've been researching and testing these devices for several years. There are dozens of electric toothbrushes, all claiming to do the same thing: remove plaque from your teeth and provide you with, in addition to flossing, adequate gum care.
