The 11 best electric toothbrushes for 2025, tested and reviewed

Over 93,000 Amazon shoppers (including me) love this toothbrush for a reason!

This Aquasonic electric toothbrush is so popular, it’s a top seller on Amazon. I have been using it for a few months now and love it because its charge time lasts up to a month, so I don’t have to keep the charging pad out on my bathroom vanity all the time. The toothbrush is equipped with a powerful motor that provides 40,000 vibrations per minute, which leaves my mouth feeling extra clean every time I use it.

I also love that it has a two-minute timer to ensure that I meet the recommended brush time, and it also pauses every 30 seconds so I know when it’s time to move to a different section to give all my teeth the same amount of attention. There are four cleaning modes to choose from: clean, soft, whitening and massage, and it comes with a whopping eight brush heads, so it will be quite a while before I need to buy replacements.

This popular pick removes 300% more plaque than a manual toothbrush!

It's a powerful workhorse that proves you don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars on an electric toothbrush. Yahoo Life Senior Editor Nicole Lee has been a big fan for over five years. “It's affordable and it gets the job done, allowing me to brush my teeth efficiently and effectively,” she said. The toothbrush uses a dentist-inspired round brush head that helps remove plaque while still being gentle on the gum line.

Along with three cleaning modes, it also has a built-in timer that alerts you every 30 seconds so you know when to switch brushing zones, and it has a built-in two-minute timer so you know when you are done. It even has a pressure sensor that stops pulsations if you're brushing too hard to protect your mouth. While it doesn’t have some of the bells and whistles more expensive models have, like apps or flashing sensors, Lee finds those aren’t really necessary and says that this option is “the best bang for your buck.”

You can actually track your cleaning on the app to see if you’re missing any areas.

This Oral-B model is definitely the most expensive option of the bunch, but it’s also the most high-tech. It uses AI position detection “that tracks where you brush across all three surfaces of your teeth” so you can fully maximize your coverage and make your teeth as clean as possible. The app shows you for how long you’ve been brushing, as well as what areas you’ve taken care of.

Senior Editor Lisa Schweitzer is a big fan of this model after using it for the past few weeks. “I liked that this toothbrush has a light that indicates if you're brushing with the appropriate amount of pressure. It works with an app to give you more information on how long and how well you brush. I liked the shape and fit of the brush head.” What really sets this techy model apart from the others is “the plethora of accessories as well as its connectivity to an app that gives you feedback on your brushing,” she added.

Two of the dentists we talked to listed this model as their top pick!

When we asked Dr. Lior Tamar what his favorite electric toothbrush was, he said, “Hands down my favorite electric brush is the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean. It just leaves your mouth feeling so clean and teeth so smooth.” Chrystle Cu, cofounder of Cocofloss, is also a fan because “it works great, has a long-lasting battery, is easy to charge and easy to keep clean.” And after using it for over a year myself, I would have to agree with both of them.

I loved that there are four cleaning modes to choose from, as well as three different smart brush head types. But my favorite thing is the compact travel case that made it super easy to pack. As a bonus, it also has a free phone app that will give you real-time feedback on your brushing.

If you lack space on your bathroom counter for more than one dental tool, our Partnerships and Branded Content Editor Rory Halperin says this Waterpik toothbrush might be just what you’re looking for. “I really liked that it's a 2-in-1 toothbrush and flosser — there's no need to have two devices on my bathroom counter.” Like many of us, Halperin said she wasn’t always diligent about flossing every day, but this device changed that! “I used the flosser a lot more since it's connected to my electric toothbrush, versus being stand-alone. My dentist always tells me to floss more, and this device helps me do just that. My teeth definitely feel cleaner after using it,” she said.

You can choose from three cleaning modes: brushing, flossing or both simultaneously. What’s more, according to the brand, “it’s clinically proven up to two times as effective as traditional brushing and flossing for reducing plaque and improving gum health.” While it cleans your teeth amazingly well, just be aware it can get messy. “Be careful of the spraying water when using it,” Halperin said. “I definitely got wet, so make sure not to wear clothes you're planning on wearing out while brushing/flossing!”

This is an Amazon's Choice product for a reason.

“Pretty much every dentist I've ever had swears by the Sonicare, and I get it,” said our Deputy Editor Izabella Zaydenberg. “It doesn't have all the bells and whistles that the pricier options have, but I don't think I need them. It's sleek, takes up minimal counter space (no bulky chargers!) and reminds me to replace my brush head or that it needs charging. I also think it really gets my teeth clean!” According to the brand, the Sonicare 4100 removes up to seven times more plaque than a manual toothbrush, plus it has a trusty two-minute timer with a quad pacer.

One of its standout features is the pressure sensor that blinks red when you're brushing too hard. Though Zaydenberg acknowledged that you have to pay careful attention while brushing with this function, she also said, “Unless you're either looking at the brush or watching yourself in the mirror, you can miss it, so I've accidentally irritated my gums when the brush mode is set to the highest setting.”

Even Oprah is a fan of this travel-ready electric option.

Not only did this sleek and compact electric toothbrush make Oprah’s "Favorite Things List," it is also one of our Shopping Editor Carrie McCabe’s top picks! “I liked the price (was on super sale at the time), my Quip had gone missing after a trip, the color was cute and I loved that it came with a travel case to make that whole ‘losing track of my toothbrush’ thing harder to do,” she said.

The soft-nylon tapered bristles gently polish teeth for a brighter smile, while the two-minute timer with 30-second notifications tells you how long to brush those pearly whites. Perhaps the best part is the battery life that will last up to 30 days and can be recharged with a simple USB cord. The other benefit is the travel case it comes with. “The case covers the full brush (vs. Quip's, which has the adhesive that stops being sticky and is only for half the brush), so it's better for travel,” raved McCabe.

This clever toothbrush is lightweight, waterproof and safe to use in the shower.

Each Quip toothbrush comes with a travel cover that converts into both a stand and a mirror mount. The motor runs on an AAA battery, so if it ever dies while you are traveling, it can easily be replaced. Even better, you can sign up for the brand’s auto-delivery subscription service to get brush head refills delivered right to your doorstep every three months, so you don’t have to worry about keeping track of when it's time to replace your bristles.

Carrie McCabe loved the look of the Quip toothbrush, saying, “I liked all the different styles/colors, so me and my husband could pick different looks.” Though she did note that while she loved getting new brush heads delivered without thinking about it, she found it a bit tricky when it came time to swapping them, especially if there was “dried toothpaste stuck in the cracks,” so we would recommend ensuring they are cleaned properly before you swap.

Affordable refills delivered to my door every two to three months? Yes, please!

Unlike other options on this list, the Boka electric toothbrush uses activated charcoal bristles that help limit bacteria growth and provide a much gentler brushing experience. The soft bristles felt great against my teeth, and my gums had no sensitivity while using the toothbrush, which provides 30,000 vibrations per minute. I’ve been using it for almost a month and haven’t had to recharge the brush once yet, and I love that it has a two-minute timer with 30-second bursts to help me stay on track.

But the best part is the affordable subscription aspect. When you first order a Boka toothbrush, you’ll get the base, a magnetic charging station and two brush heads for $50. If you sign up for the membership, you’ll then be charged just $8 to get two new brush heads delivered every six months.

Getting kids to brush their teeth can be challenging, but the Philips Sonicare for Kids makes it fun and engaging. Our tester's 10-year-old son loved this toothbrush because it turned brushing into a game rather than a chore. With its advanced AI-powered app, he learned proper brushing techniques while guided by a cute, fuzzy avatar named Sparkly.

This toothbrush is safe and gentle on his gums yet effective at reaching those hard-to-brush spots. The built-in brushing timer ensures he brushes for the appropriate amount of time and spends the right amount of time on each quadrant of his mouth.

One thing to note is the importance of rinsing the brush thoroughly after each use. Some reviews mentioned mold growth between the brush head and handle if not adequately rinsed and dried. However, we didn't encounter this issue.
