Is it time to replace your brush? See what you could save on a new electric toothbrush from top brands including Philips and Oral-B.
Whether you’re looking for an upgrade, need to replace an electric brush that’s running down or if you’ve decided to bin your manual and try an electric toothbrush for the first time, read on. We’ve hunted down the best deals available right now, and found the best prices on popular models, so you don’t have to scour the web. When electric toothbrushes are launched, they are given an RRP (recommended retail price), but most brushes only sell at this price point for a couple of months. After this, they may be reduced by as much as half. This means that it’s quite hard to tell whether or not you’re getting a good deal as retailers can show big savings that aren’t as good as they seem. In all of the following deals, we’ve used the amount that the brush usually sells for as the original price, rather than comparing the discount to the RRP. That means the savings you see here are real. The price of brushes also fluctuates depending on the time of year and the retailer, so we’ll only include offers when brushes reach their lowest price point. If you want more information on types of brush and useful features before you buy, check out our buying guide below the deals round-up. The full list of discounts follows but if you’re interested in the models we rate most highly, check out our round-up of the best electric toothbrushes we’ve tested. Amazon Prime Day is coming up next month, and you’ll find plenty of offers on all kinds of tech then, so have a look at our Prime Day guide to see how to save. Here’s our guide to buying an electric toothbrush. There are two main types of electric toothbrush. First, there are mechanical brushes, which you might also see described as rotating, oscillating, pulsing, or a variation on the above. These tend to be less expensive and work by rotating (or oscillating, or pulsing) the bristles on the brush head to remove plaque and clean teeth. Brushes that only rotate tend to be the least effective, so look out for ones that pulse or use counter-oscillation (moving some bristles one way, and some the other) for a better clean. The second broad type of brushes are sonic. These vibrate rather than rotate, the idea being that they hit certain frequencies that break down plaque and help to drive toothpaste between your teeth.
