The best electric toothbrushes you can buy in 2021

Consider this your checks-all-the-boxes middle of the road. Philips is a trusted brand, and the 6100 hits the middle of the average price range and features. A pressure sensor protects sensitive mouths, and you can adjust between three different modes and intensities. It’ll time you as you brush, and remind you when it’s time to swap out the head.

Kids usually hate brushing their teeth (if they’ve been using bad toothbrushes, who can blame them?), but the Sonicare for Kids model keeps the daily activity fun with timed music and a customizable handle with eight different stickers.

Another trusted, go-to brand, Oral-B makes a killer toothbrush with their iO Series 8. The dentist-inspired micro-vibrations are sure to clear away any grime, while feedback lets you know if you’re brushing too hard or soft. With a sleek exterior and customizable features, it earns its high price tag.

A step up from the ProtectiveClean 6100, the DiamondClean Smart 9300 model offers a few small details that raise it above. It sits in a sleek glass container for charging, comes with a premium travel case for dental hygiene on the go, and is armed with a performance monitor that will let you know when your brush head is becoming ineffective.

For a budget option from Philips, pick up the ProtectiveClean 4100, which gets the job done with the standard timer, pressure sensor, and charging base, without all the fuss of a fancy upgrade model.

Oral-B also makes more affordable brushes, like the Pro 1000. It also utilizes highly technical engineering to help you brush better, but it comes with just one mode and doesn’t look as sexy as some of the other options.

If you want to really ball out on your brush, go for the Series 9, which offers seven smart modes, customizable brushing experience, and the absolute latest tech in brushing.

While less recognizable than competitors like Oral-B and Philips, AquaSonic makes a toothbrush worth converting for. The ultrasonic motor puts out 40,000 vibrations per minute, it comes with eight brush heads to last you all year, and it won’t break the bank.

Another affordable option, the GLEEM electric toothbrush uses AAA batteries instead of a charging station, making it easy to take anywhere (if a bit less green or reliable).

With a unique angled brush head and tongue scraper, a case that doubles as a mirror mount to save counter space, and cute purple branding, the Smile Direct toothbrush is an easy winner.
