1. Philips Sonicare HealthyWhite HX6711/02
Unlike the previous model, this electric toothbrush has two modes. The first is suitable for daily cleaning. And the second – with the function of teeth whitening. Moreover, the first one lasts two minutes, and the second one, after the expiration of the term, is connected for another 30 seconds. They are recommended to treat the smile zone. Also, once every 30 seconds, the brush gives a signal – it’s time to change sides. The shape of the nozzles of this brush is classic, not rounded. An interesting Easy-start function is “Easy start”. The first 14 days of use, the brush does not work at full capacity, but adds the number of pulsations daily. It is due to the fact that for many, with the transition to an electrical device, the gums begin to bleed. With this feature, damage can be minimized. By the way, there are two types of nozzles on the brush – large and smaller – for children. And some specifically buy children’s. They assure that each tooth is better treated this way.

2. CS Medica CS-262
Budget model in the ranking of the best electric toothbrushes. The first thing that attracts attention is the use of classic batteries. The manufacturer claims that the brush will work for 150 days from two finger elements. It is a well-known fact that ordinary batteries are more enduring compared to batteries of a similar shape. The nozzle comes with a protective cap. Few manufacturers bother to add this accessory. Although it is certainly important, for example, when traveling. The handle, like the more expensive models, is rubberized so that it does not slip out of the hands. There are two modes of operation – powerful (33 thousand rpm) and normal (28 thousand rpm). They switch on the button.

3. Donfeel HSD-015
An electric toothbrush for the most demanding users. It came out three years ago, but in 2021 it has not lost its relevance. First, the battery lasts six weeks of use, provided it is cleaned twice a day. Secondly, a crazy number of revolutions – 48 thousand in intensive mode. According to the manufacturer, the motor makes up to 800 reverse movements per second, multiplied by 60 so-called “micropulses”, so the number of movements can reach 2,8 million per minute. There are five operating modes: classic, whitening, massage, soft and polishing. The kit comes with three interchangeable nozzles. If you want, use it in turn, if you want, divide by family. The charging station has a built-in UV lamp. It kills bacteria, does not allow them to stay on the bristles and develop fungus on the handle. This is a big base. And storing it on the sink will not work – this is prohibited according to the instructions. So you have to look for a place, for example, in the hallway or in the kitchen. Next up is the cleansing experience. Someone ticklish, someone unpleasant. Due to the high intensity of micro-movements, they differ from classic electric brushes. But over time you get used to it. Next is the service life. Officially, it is 1 year. But according to reviews, the device works and two, but then dies. In this case, the manufacturer offers to buy a pen separately – about 3,5 thousand. Other parts of the instrument are also sold separately.

What other electric toothbrushes are worth considering?
4. Oral-B Vitality 3D White
Another popular model from the German brand. The most simple: no sensors, lights and other bells and whistles. But it does its job very well. Perfect for getting started with electric toothbrushes. However, nothing prevents you from using this one for many years. There are many examples in the reviews: when after a couple of years of operation the battery becomes very weak, people simply buy a new one and continue to use it. It differs from the cooler models in speed. It is believed that the more revolutions, the better the cleaning. There is no space engine here, but what is there is enough for comfortable cleaning. Some, on the contrary, experience problems with bleeding gums, so for them, on the contrary, this speed will be a plus. Moreover, all the same nozzles as other brushes of this company are suitable for it.

5. Megasonex
A premium product from Hong Kong that starts with the packaging. Stylish black box, inside which is a brush in a case, a pair of nozzles, a charger. This electric toothbrush has three modes. The first two will be called delicate and classic. And here is the third mode – ultrasonic cleaning. The device generates ultrasound at a frequency of 1.6 MHz, although the piezoelectric element itself (ultrasound generator) is located at the end of the toothbrush handle, which, according to the instructions, is recommended to be lubricated with petroleum jelly. Nevertheless, the manufacturer assures that the number of oscillations reaches 96 million per minute! As planned by the manufacturers, at this frequency, the bacteria should be destroyed. Many mistakenly believe that ultrasound in this model breaks down plaque and wait for the whitening effect. We’ll disappoint you – it’s not. She cannot remove the tartar. By the way, ultrasound is safe for humans. However, the manufacturer encourages people with pacemakers to still consult a doctor before using their toothbrush. Four types of nozzles are produced for the brush. By the way, they are not so expensive – about 400 rubles apiece. The device charges quickly – 6-8 hours. After that, it lasts for two weeks.

6. Revyline RL 010
The first plus of this model in the ranking of the best electric brushes is for the design. The set includes a stylish transparent case, which has compartments for a pair of nozzles and a place for the device itself. It is available in three colors – white, black and pale pink. Five operating modes are available: classic cleaning, whitening, enamel polishing, for teeth with increased sensitivity and gum massage. Moreover, each of the modes has three degrees of intensity. It is convenient that charging takes place via a USB cable and no separate base with a wire is needed. Although the stand is still included.

7. Hapica Minus ion
An economical model with an interesting ion cleaning function. The manufacturer assures that it can be used even without paste. Although we don’t think it’s a good idea. The description says that this electric toothbrush produces negative ions that help polish teeth and get rid of bad breath. It can be sold packed in a sealed bag or plastic packaging. Powered by two finger batteries (AA). According to the instructions, they are enough for 300 hours of operation. There is no built-in timer, so when cleaning you need to focus on your feelings. Buyers note the lightness of this electric toothbrush – a little more than 50 g. But it is heavier with batteries.

8. Category X3
Another model with an interesting design. The designers obviously tried: stylish designations of modes on the case and an interesting button. Available in three colors: white, pink, black. The case has a built-in battery that can withstand 25 days of work without recharging, provided that you brush your teeth twice a day. But charging is not fast – 16 hours. Another detail for which you can praise the device is moisture protection. It is not strange, but many manufacturers save on this. Although an electric toothbrush is one of those appliances that comes into contact with water a lot. There are modes for cleaning the tongue and gums. You can download the application to your smartphone and arrange functions, as well as control the battery charge. But there are too many negative reviews on the brush related to breakdowns. Yes, many are happy. But still disturbing.

9. Colgate 360°
Budget option for getting acquainted with electric brushes. The nozzles can be changed, the batteries are also easy to replace with new ones. There are models in different colors. One of the novelties of last year is in a black case with bristles containing coal. Not sure if this is of any real benefit, but it sounds and looks great. Of the features that can be attributed to the category of disadvantages is the feature of a rotating element. The fact is that not all the bristles are spinning, but only the lower separate part. The rest is static. That is, it will not be enough for her just to drive in the teeth, like other models. You have to work hard with your hands. On the other side of the nozzle there is a pad for cleaning the cheeks and tongue. Even more expensive models for some reason neglect this function.
