An essential daily item, the electric toothbrush provides real comfort in use and above all, it guarantees incomparable brushing quality. But between the different movement technologies (oscillating-rotating or sonic), connected or not, with or without pressure sensor, with integrated timer, etc., it is not always easy to navigate. So to help you make the right choice and keep smiling when buying, we offer you this comparison of the best electric toothbrushes.
For a bright smile and perfect dental hygiene, the electric toothbrush (BDE) is the best solution. It is no coincidence that it is acclaimed by dentists. Much more effective than a manual toothbrush, it guarantees a thorough cleaning of the teeth and gums, while helping to fight against the tartar that causes bad breath.
The models are legion, with very varied prices depending on the functions offered. Two major brands take the lion’s share (Oral-B and Philips), but you can discover other brands, less known, but just as interesting. To guide you in choosing your electric toothbrush, we offer very accessible models, up to the most advanced electric toothbrushes. We have classified them by price range to facilitate your search.
Electric toothbrushes for children
1. Oral-B Vitality 100 Cross Action: Ideal for children
Sold at a very low price, the Oral-B Vitality 100 toothbrush is perfect for introducing children to electric brushing. With it, they will no longer have an excuse for not brushing their teeth properly! Shop Best Electronic Toothbrush from Alibaba.
Equipped with a non-slip silicone handle, it offers a good grip, even for the youngest. In terms of technology, its oscillating-rotating movements generate up to 48,800 pulses per minute, for much more efficient brushing than manual brushing. It also has a two-minute timer and vibrates every 30 seconds to indicate that it is necessary to change zones.
At this price, hard to ask for more. So don’t count on a carrying case, or on a spare head, which you can easily find in supermarkets.
2. Oral-B Kids Star Wars: the connected toothbrush for children

Electric toothbrushes under $100
3. Oral-B Pro 1 – 790: for those who do not suffer from gum disease
Sold with a set of two brush heads, this electric toothbrush offers good value for money. Easy to use, it effectively fights against tartar and food deposits, but be careful if you suffer from gum disease. Although it has a pressure sensor that warns if you press too much on the teeth and gums, the rotation speed of the brush head can be unpleasant for sensitive gums.
Equipped with a single brushing mode, it nevertheless offers a professional two-minute timer and emits a signal every 30 seconds to change zones. You can also count on a satisfactory autonomy of about 10 days with a full charge.
4. Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 4500: simple and effective
Perfect for getting started with electric brushing, the Sonicare ProtectiveClean 4500 combines efficiency and ease of use. Everything has been thought out to meet the most refractory users with only two brushing modes and two dedicated brush heads: Clean to remove tartar and White to reduce stains on the teeth. For the most refractory, it also offers an EasyStart mode which gradually increases the power during the first 14 uses, to get used to electric brushing.
Here, the user benefits from the sonic technology, dear to the brand, which generates 62,000 movements per minute and is handled like a manual brush. This vibration system breaks up and sweeps away dental plaque for a good cleaning.
Although it only offers two modes, it remains quite complete with its pressure sensor and timers. The Quadpacer function indicates when an area is sufficiently brushed, while the SmarTimer function warns when the recommended two minutes of brushing is reached. We also appreciate its comfortable autonomy of nearly two weeks and its carrying case with travel charger.
5. Y-Brush Pack NylonStart Adult: the most surprising
Undoubtedly the most surprising of all, this BDE entirely made in France surprises as much by its design as by its promise. With its ultra-flexible Y-shape, it is suitable for all adult jaws (children’s models are also available) and promises to effectively brush teeth in just 10 seconds. Equipped with 35,000 nylon filaments, activated by sonic vibrations, it brushes teeth at 360° and adapts to each person’s gum sensitivity.
In fact, it actually leaves a feeling of freshness and cleans the teeth, but not as effectively as a classic sced. You also won’t be able to clean the tongue or palate like other toothbrushes can. But if you don’t have any particular problems, you go to the dentist regularly and you don’t have the patience to respect the two minutes recommended by dentists, then this BDE is for you! Be careful however, the replacement head (lasting about six months) is sold for around 30 euros, a budget to take into account…
6. Oclean X Pro Elite: the quietest
If you are looking for a good BDE under 100 euros, the Oclean X Pro Elite offers good value for money. Using sonic technology, it provides quality brushing thanks to its 42,000 movements per minute, with particularly quiet operation. Depending on your sensitivity and the desired result, it also offers four brushing modes (Clean, Sensitive, Massage and Whitening) and no less than 32 intensities to adapt to everyone.
Very complete, it is also connected and benefits from an intuitive application, which delivers valuable information for optimal brushing. You’ll find the brushing score, time spent brushing, and a reminder of missed areas for full dental coverage. These “stats” are also available on the BDE screen. We also like its induction charger and its comfortable autonomy of up to 35 days.
High-end toothbrushes
7. Oral-B Genius X: AI at the service of oral hygiene
Here is a connected and accessible toothbrush, offered at around 100 euros. And it doesn’t matter if you are new to BDE. This model is indeed equipped with artificial intelligence and movement sensors, capable of analyzing the way you brush your teeth and guiding you if necessary.
You can count on its 48,000 pulsations and 9,900 rotations per minute to find a dazzling smile. It also offers six modes, to be selected according to your needs and your sensitivity: Clean, Pro Clean, Softness, Whiteness, Gum care and Tongue cleaning.
On the other hand, we regret the absence of a non-slip coating. Without it, the brush tends to slip in the hand when wet, or soiled with toothpaste. However, it is an excellent model, for its attractive price.
8. Philips HX9911/09 DiamondClean 9000: as stylish as it is efficient
Aesthetic and efficient, the DiamondClean 9000 is a very good connected BDE. With its 62,000 movements/minute sonic system, it cleans teeth particularly effectively, without being aggressive.

Among its advantages, it offers four brushing modes (Clean, White+, Gum Health and Deep Clean+) and three intensities to be defined according to individual preferences. There is also a pressure sensor and BrushSync technology, which selects the right program according to the brush head and prevents its wear.
You can also count on its connectivity to improve your brushing habits and on its complete equipment, including a charging glass, a charger and a travel case with USB charging.
9. Philips Sonicare 9900 Prestige HX9992/12: the must -have
Ultra chic, this BDE is also particularly efficient. Equipped with the best technologies, this model ensures perfect oral hygiene, thanks to its sonic technology with 62,000 movements. Add an A3 Premium all-in-one head that reaches every corner of your mouth and you’re guaranteed perfect brushing, even in hard-to-reach places.

It can also follow your brushing habits in real time and offer personalized advice from the dedicated application. Of course, it also includes a two-minute pro timer, a pressure sensor, and offers three intensity levels and five modes: Clean, White+, Gum Health, Deep Clean and Sensitive.
A “Prestige” box that is really worth it and which includes a charging base and a leather travel case.
