The best electric toothbrushes of 2025

The electric toothbrushes in this section weren’t my favorite, but they have some great qualities that are worth mentioning. One of these might be the right choice for you, so it felt worth including them here.

Philips Sonicare for Kids rechargeable electric toothbrush

For the 3 years up, the Philips Sonicare for children it’s just like the other Philips Sonicare models. The electric brush has two different modes and a brush timer and comes in two different colors. In addition, each box contains stickers to decorate the handle. It works very similarly to the Oral-B Kid’s Electric Toothbrush, although the brush head vibrates instead of oscillating.

I noticed that the handle is heavier and about an inch longer than that of the Oral-B Kid’s Color Changing toothbrush. The brush head is a smaller version of the Philips Sonicare Prestige, but it’s still almost three times longer than the Oral-B Kid’s brush head. What makes the Sonicare baby 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 Brush

The Quip brush head is very close to the size of a manual brush head. The Quip is simple in every aspect: it has a speed and a two-minute timer that buzzes every 30 seconds and turns off when the time is up. Here we go. There are no apps, chargers or wires. This electric toothbrush is powered by a AAA battery located in the handle and the charge lasts for three months.

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

CariPro electric toothbrush

The CariPro is a good brush, it just doesn’t compare to the others on this list. The brush head vibrates and the top and bottom of the brush move out.

My gums and teeth felt sensitive after using CariPro, but I tend to experience tooth sensitivity. It’s hard to tell if it was due to the brush bristles or the way the brush head broke. If you have sensitive gums, note that the brush has five settings and one of which is a sensitive one. There is something good about it: I feel that the CariPro did a good job of cleaning my mouth.

Y-Brush

The Y-Brush turned heads and sparked interest at CES in 2017 and has returned to CES year after year. The strange Y-shaped brush claims it can brush all your teeth in just 10 seconds. After applying toothpaste directly on the brush, the entire Y-Brush enters the mouth. Then you have to bite and press the button to activate the soft vibrations. After five seconds, you can move on to your lower teeth.

Not only did the Y-Brush not clean my teeth, but the vibrations gave me a headache. It was an uncomfortable experience that left my teeth freshly coated with toothpaste. The concept of this brush is fun and interesting. It could be for you if you are tired of ordinary electric toothbrushes.

Oral-B Pro 500 Precision Clean

My experience with the Oral-B Pro 500 Precision Clean toothbrush compared to some others in the same price range. It has a cleaning mode and the brush head oscillates and rotates on a two-minute timer. The brush notifies you when you’re done. This simple Oral-B brush is basic and has no special technology or applications attached.

Out of all the Oral-B brushes I’ve tested with rotating spin heads, I like this one the least. It wasn’t as powerful as the 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 trying an electric toothbrush for the first time. It is simple and very cheap. I would personally choose the Oral-B Pro 1000, but this Pro 500 is a good budget option.
