The best electric toothbrushes 2022: top 9 ranking according to KP

How lazy I am to brush my teeth sometimes - I fiddled with the brush a couple of times and that was the end of it. Then you have to shell out money for filling another caries. But with an electric toothbrush, even the laziest brushing turns into a much more effective process. And if you also use the gadget according to the instructions and follow the recommendations, you get a miracle, not a device.

Top 9 rating according to KP

Philips Sonicare HealthyWhite HX6711/02

Photo: Philips Unlike the previous model, this electric toothbrush has two modes. The first one is suitable for daily cleaning. And the second one has a teeth whitening function. Moreover, the first one lasts two minutes, and the second one is connected for another 30 seconds after the expiration of the period. They are recommended to treat the smile area. Also, once every 30 seconds the brush gives a signal - it’s time to change sides. The shape of the attachments on this brush is classic, not rounded. An interesting Easy-start function is “Easy Start”. During the first 14 days of use, the brush does not work at full capacity, but the number of pulsations increases daily. This is due to the fact that many people’s gums begin to bleed after switching to an electric device. With this function, the damage can be minimized. By the way, there are two types of brush heads - a large one and a smaller one - for children. Moreover, some specifically buy children's ones. They claim that each tooth is treated better this way.

Budget model in the ranking of the best electric toothbrushes. The first thing that attracts attention is the use of classic batteries. The manufacturer assures that the brush will work for 150 days with two finger elements. It is a known fact that regular batteries are more durable than batteries of a similar shape. A protective cap is included with the nozzles. Few manufacturers bother to include this accessory. Although it is certainly important, for example, when traveling. The handle, like more expensive models, is rubberized so that it does not slip out of your hands. There are two operating modes - powerful (33 thousand rpm) and normal (28 thousand rpm). They switch with a button.

An electric toothbrush for the most demanding users. It was published three years ago, but in 2022 it has not lost its relevance. First, the battery lasts for six weeks if you clean it twice a day. Secondly, the number of revolutions is crazy - 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 set includes three replacement nozzles. If you want, use it one at a time, or if you want, divide it among your family. The charging station has a built-in ultraviolet lamp. It kills bacteria, prevents them from remaining on the bristles and preventing fungus from developing on the handle. There is a large base here. And you won’t be able to store it on the sink - this is prohibited according to the instructions. So you will have to look for a place, for example, in the hallway or in the kitchen. Next is the feeling of cleaning. Some are ticklish, some are uncomfortable. 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 for two, but then dies. In this case, the manufacturer offers to buy the pen separately - about 3.5 thousand. Other parts of the device are also sold separately.

What other electric toothbrushes are worth paying attention to?

Oral-B Vitality 3D White

Another popular model from the German brand. As simple as possible: no sensors, lights or other bells and whistles. But it does its job perfectly. Great for getting to know 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 use the battery becomes very weak, people simply buy a new one and continue to use it. What sets it apart from cooler models is its speed. It is believed that the more revolutions, the better the cleaning. There is no space engine here, but there is enough for comfortable cleaning. Some people, on the contrary, experience problems with bleeding gums, so for them, on the contrary, this speed will be a plus. Moreover, all the same attachments are suitable for it as other brushes from this company.

Megasonex

A premium product from Hong Kong that starts with the packaging. A stylish black box containing a brush in a case, a pair of attachments, and a charger. This electric toothbrush has three modes. Let's call the first two delicate and classic. But the third mode is 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 Vaseline. But nevertheless, the manufacturer assures that the number of vibrations reaches 96 million per minute! According to the manufacturers' plans, bacteria should be destroyed at this frequency. Many people mistakenly believe that ultrasound in this model breaks down plaque and expect a whitening effect. We will disappoint you - this is not so. She cannot remove tartar. By the way, ultrasound is safe for humans. However, the manufacturer urges people with pacemakers to still consult a doctor before using their toothbrush. Four types of attachments are available for the brush. By the way, they are not that expensive - about 400 rubles apiece. The device charges quickly - 6-8 hours. After that it lasts for two weeks.

Maximum speed	18000 vibrations per minute, 96,000,000 pulsations per minute

The first advantage of this model in the ranking of the best electric brushes is its design. The set includes a stylish transparent case, which has compartments for a pair of attachments and space for the device itself. Available in three colors - white, black and soft pink. Five operating modes are available: classic cleaning, whitening, enamel polishing, for teeth with increased sensitivity and gum massage. Moreover, each mode has three levels of intensity. It is convenient that charging occurs via a USB cable and does not require a separate base with a wire. Although the stand is still included in the kit.

Hapica Minus ion

An economical model with an interesting ionic cleaning function. The manufacturer assures that it can be used even without paste. Although we don't think this is a good idea. The description says that this electric toothbrush produces negative ions that help polish teeth and get rid of bad odor. May be sold packaged in a sealed bag or plastic packaging. Powered by two AA batteries. According to the instructions, they are enough for 300 hours of operation. There is no built-in timer, so when cleaning you need to rely on your feelings. Buyers note the lightness of this electric toothbrush - just over 50 g. But with batteries it is heavier.

Another model with an interesting design. The designers clearly tried: stylish mode designations on the body and an interesting button. Available in three colors: white, pink, black. The case has a built-in battery that can withstand 25 days of operation without recharging, provided that you brush your teeth twice a day. But charging is not fast - 16 hours. Another detail for which the device can be praised is its moisture protection. Strange as it may seem, many manufacturers save on this. Although an electric brush is one of those devices 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 configure functions, as well as monitor battery charge. But there are too many negative reviews about the brush related to breakdowns. Yes, quite a few are satisfied. But it's still alarming.

Judging by the reviews, high percentage of defects, expensive attachments

A budget option for getting to know electric brushes. The attachments can be changed, and the batteries can also be easily replaced with new ones. There are models in different colors. One of the new products from last year is in a black case with bristles containing carbon. Not sure if this has any real benefit, but it sounds and looks strong. One of the features that can be classified as a disadvantage is the feature of the rotating element. The fact is that not all the bristles rotate, but only the lower separate part. The rest is static. That is, it will not be enough for her to simply drag her teeth, like other models. You will have to work intensively with your hand. 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.

Smart brushes and their capabilities

Artificial intelligence is increasingly spreading into our lives, making daily tasks easier and more enjoyable. These technologies have not bypassed electric brushes. The largest manufacturers have created brushes that work in conjunction with a mobile application. If we draw an analogy, it’s like a personal fitness trainer. Teeth brushing trainer only.

How to choose an electric toothbrush

Although an electric toothbrush is a product for everyday use, it is a medical product. Pavel Pisarev, dental therapist at the European Medical Center , gives valuable recommendations on how to move from manual to automatic.

On a note

It is important to choose the perfect toothpaste for an electric toothbrush.

For children

Bottom line

Everyone’s selection criteria are different: some prefer to buy a brush following new trends, others for the beauty of their smile, but it is important not to forget about health. The description showed what kind of protection there are.

The important issue of product cost tempts some people to choose budget devices. The best manufacturers offer new technologies for manual brushes, so by following the cleaning rules, good results are achieved.

The purchase of high-tech devices, the average price of which is 180 - 200 dollars, should be carried out after consultation with a dentist, otherwise the power and rigid attachment can be harmful. Hygiene items should be useful, not just modern. Such nuances as a slippery plastic body and a metal head are rarely taken into account by buyers, but this is worth paying attention to.
