Best electric toothbrush of 2024

The electric toothbrushes in this section weren’t my favorite, but they do have some great qualities worth mentioning. One of these options may be the right one for you, so it’s helpful to list them here.

Philips Sonicare rechargeable electric toothbrush for kids

For ages 3 years and up, Philips Sonicare for children Just as great as other Philips Sonicare models. The electric brush has two different modes and a brush timer and comes in two different colors. Additionally, each box includes stickers to decorate the handle. It works very similarly to the Oral-B kids electric toothbrush, although the brush head vibrates rather than oscillates.

I did notice that the handle is heavier and about an inch longer than the Oral-B Kid’s Color Changing Toothbrush. The brush head is a smaller version of the Philips Sonicare Prestige but is still almost three times longer than the Oral-B Kid. What makes the Sonicare for Kids brush unique is that it has Bluetooth capabilities that connect to a smartphone app. I think the app is one of the best; It has educational videos and a tracking system that parents can use to see their children’s brushing behavior.

Quip electric toothbrush

The Quip brush head is very close to the size of a manual toothbrush head. The Quip is simple in every way: it has a single speed and a 2-minute timer that beeps every 30 seconds and turns off once the time is up. That’s it. No app, charger, or wires. This electric toothbrush is powered by a AAA battery located in the handle and the charging process lasts for three months.

I gave Colgate’s Hum the title of “best battery-powered electric toothbrush” and not the Quip because I didn’t like the toothbrush’s brush head. Yes, it’s similar to a manual toothbrush but I found it difficult to use it to get around my mouth. I also noticed that the Quip’s motor is not very powerful compared to models from Sonicare or Oral-B. To me, it looked like manual cleaning. I didn’t like it, but others might not mind. If you’re looking for a smart electric toothbrush without Bluetooth or an app, Quip might be the one.

Carry Pro Electric Toothbrush

The CariPro is a good brush, but it doesn’t compare to the other brushes on this list. The brush head vibrates and the top and bottom of the brush flare outward.

My gums and teeth felt sensitive after using CariPro, but I tend to have sensitive teeth. It’s hard to say if it’s because of the bristles of the brush or the way the brush head is flared. If you have sensitive gums, note that the brush has five settings, one of which is sensitive. There is some good in this: I feel like the CariPro did a good job of cleaning my mouth.

Y-shaped brush

The Y-Brush turned heads and generated interest at CES in 2017 and has returned to CES year after year. The strange Y-shaped brush claims that it can clean all your teeth in just 10 seconds. After applying the toothpaste directly to the brush, the entire Y brush goes into your mouth. You must then bite down and press the button to activate the gentle vibrations. After five seconds, you can move to your lower set of teeth.

Not only did I find that the Y brush did not clean my teeth but the vibrations were hurting my head. It was an uncomfortable experience as I left my teeth covered in toothpaste. The concept of this brush is fun and interesting. This might be right for you if you’re tired of your regular electric toothbrush.

Oral-B Pro 500 Precision Cleansing

My experience with the Oral-B Pro 500 Precision Clean compared to some other brushes in the same price range. It has one cleaning mode and the brush head oscillates and rotates for two minutes. The brush alerts you when you’re done. This simple Oral-B brush is basic and doesn’t have any special technology or associated apps.

Of all the Oral-B brushes I tested with rotating heads, I liked this one the least. It wasn’t as powerful as others, and after a few uses, I found myself wondering if I needed a new brush head. I think this brush is perfect for someone who is trying out an electric toothbrush for the first time. It’s simple and very affordable. I would personally choose the Oral-B Pro 1000, but the Pro 500 is a good budget option.
