Best Electric Toothbrushes & Flossers

I purchased a Braun toothbrush when my other broke down, it is good BUT - there is no indication when it is plugged in if it is charging or not, or if it has completed charging !

Just started using my new Philips Sonicare AirFloss Pro Ultra in grey, and I’m genuinely impressed. I’ve never been the best at traditional flossing,… Read more

so this has been a game-changer. It’s super easy to use just fill the reservoir with water or mouthwash, aim between the teeth, and press. Takes less than a minute and leaves my mouth feeling fresh and clean. The colour looks sleek and modern on the counter, and the design feels solid and comfortable in hand. After a week of using it daily, my gums already feel healthier and less sensitive.

This product is guaranteed to fail. There is a major flaw with this device that causes the attachment that goes into the brush head to weaken and… Read more

bend over time until you can't get proper force on your teeth as it become increasingly weaker. I bought a substantially cheaper supermarket model for overseas travel and it is far superior in its strength does not break and does a better job. Your paying a premium on this device for it to fail.

I already got a replacement under warranty and this has happened again. The design/model is flawed.

its light-weight wand. I use a whole tank on one clean and boy oh boy they look amazing and get so much food out of the crevices and gaps. I could never be without it now.

Night and Day difference from a manual toothbrush, or the Oral B competitor – I tried buying an Oral B electric toothbrush a while ago, and while it was okay, I ended up going back to manual. This blew my mind for $30 at my… Read more

local woolworths (1/2 price). I looked it up online after seeing it in store and noticed that it was actually a steal of a price, took a leap of faith and purchased it, and now can't see myself going back to manual brushing. Though this is an entry-level one, it's still amazing and I'll probably end up upgrading. As a young adult (still learning the ins and outs of taking care of myself) this has really piqued my interest and shown me how much more there is to household dental health, and made a vast improvement on the cleanliness of my teeth. The only things that are negative are: the noise (it's called SONICare for a reason) though it's not as loud and annoying as the Oral B one I had used, it's quite odd and high-pitched. Not being able to keep my bottom lip up because of the vibration (I find myself drooling everywhere like a toddler), and the expensive and hard to find replaceable heads. Otherwise a great upgrade and for an entry-level version it is to be expected, though it exceeds overall. Another thing I will say is that it's extremely light, and the heads themselves are very small so I find myself A; using a lot less toothpaste, and B; being able to brush very finely and reach every crevice and corner of my teeth. God that sounds creepy. But it's true, and a fantastic feeling.

Awesome find! – My nephews love using these brushes. I could really tell how happy they when using it. They said that its cool and softer than their old tooth brushes. Does not cause them bleeding too. Show details

No issues – I have used Oral B products in the past and this one is very effective. I will say that its much better than manual one as they put too much pressure on gums. This one is so easy to use Show details

Makes brushing easy – It usually takes longer to get the kids to brush their teeth then the actual process of brushing them. But not with Philips Sonicare for Kids. They… Read more

love seeing their little friend on the app and making him happy when they brush their teeth. The timer also means Im not standing there telling them to keep going!

Oral B oscillation electric toothbrush is scientifically proven to clean slightly better but my gum is too sensitive so it's uncomfortable to use. … Read more

The Philips electric toothbrush is the next best thing and is painless, which means I will actually use it rather than let it collect dust like my Oral B one. I find both Oral B and Philips electric toothbrushes give a very clean feel after brushing. I personally can't feel the difference between Oral B and Philips.

I love the extra minute on gum care mode and this ProtectiveClean 4500 model is the least expensive model with this mode. This is my third Philips electric toothbrush and my last one was ProtectiveClean 6100 with 3 modes and 3 intensity settings. Once I'm comfortable with gum care and on high intensity, I never changed it. So I feel the essential features for me are simply pressure sensor, QuadPacer timer and gum care mode. There is no need to go for the more expensive model. If you don't need the gum care mode, I would recommend the cheaper 3100 series or something because I just found out that 62000 brush movement/min is the same as 31000 brush strokes per minute. Notice, 2 brush movement = 1 brush stroke. Also, 62000 brush movement/min is the highest speed for Philips toothbrushes, even for their DiamondClean series. The rest of remove 7x plaque vs 10x plaque all comes down to the brush head used.

Another reason why I recommend the cheaper model is I found each electric toothbrush only lasts me 2-2.5 years before the motor became loud and broke, but at least Philips is good about replacing if you register the product to get the extra year warranty. BTW if the BrushSync's brush head replacement reminder bugs you, it can be turned off. Finally, the battery life is around 2 weeks so I don't even bother carrying the charging stand when I'm going for 1 week trips.

Useless piece of junk – I have had mine for less than a year, it wasn't cheap and it has stopped working already. It just won't turn on even though it is fully charged. I… Read more

did not keep the receipt so can't claim under the warranty either. I am so disappointed as I have always trusted colgate products.

mould after years in the toothbrush holder. I didn't need to keep it on charge as it would last up to a month or so and saved having the cables on the vanity unnecessarily; I could also travel confidently for 3 weeks without having to bring a cable with me. So disappointed in this $80 version which only holds charge for a week at most. Braun, have I purchased a lemon or has the quality of your product deteriorated?

The perfect balance of features and value! – I’ve owned many toothbrushes over the years; cheap ones, expensive ones, but the Oral-B Pro 500 is truly my favourite! It has excellent battery… Read more

life, has the 3D cleaning feature and a professional timer which alerts every 30 seconds for each quarter of your mouth, in addition to the 2 minute timer at the end. There are a wide variety of heads compatible with this model, from CrossAction to Sensitive and even Whitening heads!

I’ve had mine for over a year now and it’s still in great condition! I bought two for half-price at my local pharmacy and gave the other to a friend; they are also very satisfied with their Pro 500!

My mouth thanks Oral-B electric toothbrushes!

Incredible device with game change results – Since using this new product it’s been a real game changer for my teeth and gums. No longer needing to physically floss has been amazing. Never felt better along with the water flossing ability providing incredible results.  Show details

Dreadful Delivery & Value for Money – Bought brush for about 400 dollars which included spare brushes, which as you could imagine, soon needed replacement. Ordered a set of 3 for over 40… Read more

dollars, which took over a month to arrive! The first Sonicare DiamondClean brush we had lasted about 2-3 years before it no longer worked, and Philips neither had parts or repairs for it. The brush itself does a good job, but it is a pity that Philips uses such unreliable technology and is so greedy charging so much for just three plastic brush head replacement. My opinion is that the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean is not worth the money

Great toothbrush – Holds ita charge for months, brushes well and easy to purchase replacement heads for (online). The app isn't the best I've given up on using it but love using the brush itself regardless. Show details

Ridiculous waste , head can't be replaced – Can replace batteries but not head...how ridiculous is that? Total waste of money and resources the toothbrush is only as good for as long as the head is not too worn then it's in the bin Show details

My first Philips Sonicare toothbrush – It works really well and I should have started to use it earlier. I also asked my other family members to buy Sonicare ExpertClean. I am writing this review just because I think its score should be higher than what it is now. :) Show details

Amazing product – I’m blown away by the performance of this tooth brush , after trying aggressive methods of cleaning plaque like salt , baking soda , lime etc and… Read more

neither of them working effectively , I decided to go for this toothbrush after reading rave reviews and I was not expecting the toothbrush to be so efficient, my plaque was almost removed after just two uses and now I’ve been using it for a week , I’m regretting not buying this earlier , I mean it is expensive (for me) but worth the price because it would save you so much money at the dentist’s office

Good product – I have had this unit for over a year after having no end of problems with another brand, It is quite basic in that it comes with only one type of… Read more

nozzle but it works well and is relatively quieter than others. It has a good variety of settings. The only down side is the magnet that keeps the head attached to the unit when not in use is a little fiddly. It works well and has the usual panasonic top quality and reliability that I find in all their products. I doubt it will outlast my 44 year old National panasonic microwave though. Just an update on the water flosser. Over two years later and still going strong and used every day.

Worst Product and Customer Service in Australia – AVOID this product. The water flosser is ok and works well. The toothbrush failed within the warranty period and was replaced after much debate.… Read more

Within a few months later, the toothbrush failed again. No luck getting a replacement, nothing available in Australia and afre writing to Waterpic Customer Service several times, not one reply. Tried phoning, no luck either. Save your money, buy a better brand either Philips if you want the sonic style or Oral B for longer life.

This is the worst toothbrush in history — DO NOT BUY IT! These Oral-B brushes have a serious issue: after one year, the battery drops to 50% and… Read more

shuts down by itself. You have to reset it every time. I sent it in under warranty and they replaced it, but six months later, the exact same thing happened again. Check out the video I’ve attached. This is a $500 AUD toothbrush that doesn’t even last a year. An absolute scam!!

Great device for oral hygiene – The Philips Sonicare 3000 water flosser is a fantastic product. I had a problem with my gum and after using the flosser for a couple of days, my… Read more

gum cleared up.

I have owned other brand water flossers in the past usually purchased via ebay. Although they were good, the plastic nozzles split after a couple of years and they are not sold separately. I needed something that was portable and I could purchase replacement nozzles if needed (which Phillips sell).

I upgraded to the Philips and so far, very very happy with the performance, easy to use, easy to clean. I use the device at least twice a day and only need to charge it once a fortnight. I use the lowest setting as this is enough for my teeth/gums.

Convenient stow feature for nozzle when travelling.

The Smart 5 5000 is an older model and has dropped off the Oral-B website, but has all the essential features you need. 3D CLEANING ACTION You won't… Read more

find this information on Oral-B's website any more for some reason, but this model cleans at 9,900 oscillations and 45,000 pulsations per minute. The pulsations are what they market as "3D cleaning action" and is a significant point of difference between the lower and higher range models.

TWO-MINUTE QUADRANT TIMER A two-minute timer is standard across the board, but the cheapest models only mark out a single block of time; it's up to you to figure out how to use your two minutes. The better models, including this one, separate this into four 30-second periods, so you can better control how much time you spend on brushing each quadrant of your mouth.

PRESSURE SENSOR A red light illuminates if you're brushing too hard. Again, the cheaper models miss out on this feature.

LITHIUM-ION BATTERY A Li-ion battery is a big step up from the NiMH batteries used in older and cheaper models.

BRUSH HEAD STORAGE This comes with a moulded ring that clips to the charger to hold two brush heads.

BLUETOOTH My favourite feature is that you can use the app to disable cleaning modes. This model comes with 5 modes: Daily Clean, Pro Clean, Sensitive, Whitening, and Gum Massage. If, like me, you only use one mode, you can disable all the others in the app which lets you turn off the brush with a single press of the power button instead of having to holding it down.

If you can get this toothbrush on special, it's great value and highly recommended. It has a two-year warranty.

plaque between visits. It's gentle to use but effective. One of the best things about this toothbrush is that the charge lasts for ages (up to 42 days apparently) so when I go on holiday I can take it along without the bulky charging stand. That's a big plus. It comes with 2 spare heads but I'm struggling to source spares.

brushing experience. It feels like a gentle massage for my gums, but it's still super effective at cleaning my teeth. I’ve noticed a huge difference in how smooth and polished my teeth feel after using it. Plus, the softness makes it perfect for sensitive gums—no irritation at all! Highly recommend if you want that professional clean feeling every day with the extra comfort for your gums. Worth every dollar!

is provided, and the ease with which they can be inserted and removed. I also like that there is 10 pressure settings, so with the variety of tips provided my needs have been met. The switching ON/OFF is easy, even with wet hands which was a problem with the Oral B. I'm happy with this and now I hope it gives me a good product life. So far, so good.

known brand and good value for money compared to other ridiculously priced units Much more portable than models with a separate tank

Cons: Only enough water capacity for a quick run top and bottom. However, a refill only takes seconds.

Hints: Start on "soft" setting inside your mouth or you will drill yourself in the face! There may be some initial bleeding. Gums toughen after a week or two of use allowing a slower, more thorough run across gum line. Keeping lips together allows you to spit out water in a controlled manner rather than have it splash all over the sink. Press the off switch before removing the nozzle from your mouth or you will decorate the ceiling with the water jet! Purchased on eBay for $55

Great water flosser – I have had this flosser for several months now and I am impressed. It is my first water flosser. I only recharge about once a week if it needs it or… Read more

not. After I brush my teeth and use Pixters, the water flosser still manages to find some tiny hidden particles of food that fall into the bathroom basin. Be warned! You must use this while leaning over the basin. It's water ! Also be careful to not switch it on before you place it in your mouth. Water will spurt out all over your walls etc. LOL For sensitive teeth you can use warm water. I took it on a cruise and it can reduce in size for packing. I am really happy with this flosser.

Piece of crap – I purchased 4 and all same problem hose in handle gets loose and water comes out poorly. Called toothy grin back and fourth no one wanted to send a new hose. PLEASE DONT BUY
