An electric toothbrush should give your teeth a good clean while being easy to use and not too harsh on your teeth. 

We review the latest models to tell you which electric toothbrushes:

  • are easy to use and have the best cleaning feel based on feedback from volunteer triallists
  • are easy to charge
  • have the cheapest replacement brush heads.

Our interactive comparison tool shows you which ones have the best features, including cleaning intervals, pressure sensors, the number of brush modes (e.g. soft, deep clean) and more.

We've also partnered with Shop Ethical on this update to show the ratings the Ethical Consumer Group gives to each company.

Shopping links on the CHOICE website

CHOICE is an independent, nonprofit organisation dedicated to helping consumers. Clicking a link will take you to a retailer's website to shop. While we make money if you buy through some retailer links, this doesn't influence any of our rankings. 100% of the money we make goes straight back into our nonprofit mission. We're currently testing this service and will consider providing more shopping links in the future. Tell us what you think.
