Dentists recommend using a good electric toothbrush twice a day for two minutes in order to rid your mouth of plaque and bacteria build up, sounds pretty simple, right? But what makes it even more appealing is if it looks good on your bathroom shelf. Rid yourself of that bulky, clumsy model and upgrade to one of our top-rated, sleeker models below.
What should I look for when buying an electric toothbrush?
There are two types of electric toothbrush: oscillating and sonic. Oscillating toothbrushes rotate and pulse to dislodge plaque. Sonic toothbrushes have bristles that vibrate rapidly from side to side for an extra powerful clean, making them more expensive.
Many of the best electric toothbrushes have built-in pressure sensors that flash when you're brushing too vigorously. Some also have timers that buzz every 30 seconds to remind you to move to the next quadrant of your mouth. Look out for sensitive and deep-clean modes, too.
How we test electric toothbrushes
We're always ready and willing to get stuck in when it comes to rating the newest beauty launches, from soothing moisturising creams to decadent hair masks, the ELLE UK team thoroughly test out every product before recommending it. So, you can be sure if an electric toothbrush has made it into our edit, it's a firm favourite.
The best electric toothbrushes of 2024
iO9 Electric Toothbrush
This top-of-the-range toothbrush will tell you exactly how clean your teeth are without even needing to make a trip to the dentist.
Oral-B uses AI and 3D teeth-tracking technology to monitor your brushing, while an interactive display allows you to scroll through the seven smart modes and reminds you when to change the brush head.
A pressure sensor with colour-coded lights also warns you when you’re brushing too hard or too softly. Cleaning thoroughly to leave mouths feeling super-fresh, this is a serious piece of kit for those serious about their oral hygiene.
Sonicare Power Electric Toothbrush 9900 Prestige
We know looks aren’t everything but a fancy electric toothbrush taking centre stage on your bathroom sink doesn’t hurt, right?
We like that this Philips model leaves teeth noticeably fresh, sweeping away plaque for most, leaving everyone with a thorough, dentist-worthy clean. Plus, it looks good in the bathroom and it definitely helped make teeth appear whiter.
iO10 Electric Toothbrush
This brush is undeniably pricey, but it’s packed full of impressive tech to make brushing easier and a little more fun.
We particularly like brush’s gentle micro-vibrations and felt it gave a deep clean. Its built-in AI technology (we told you it's fancy) helps guide you through brushing and it vibrates every 30 seconds, telling you when to move onto a new section of your mouth. It also uses coloured lights to tell you if you're applying too much or too little pressure. There are plenty of settings so you can really personalise your dental routine, and the brush remembers your preferences, so you don’t have to reset each time.
If it sounds like there’s a lot going on, don't worry – it's really intuitive and easy to use, plus it's a great choice for the regular – and perhaps forgetful – traveller, as it charges in its case while you're on the go.

It has impressive battery life, lasting a whole 365 days of regular use on one charge, plus it's comfortable to hold and gentle on teeth.
Sonic+ Toothbrush
Minimalists will love the beautiful simplicity of this slim sonic toothbrush. It has a built-in silicone polishing nodule that will help to whiten your teeth.

Okay, so this blue and white toothbrush looks a little childlike, but it’s extremely straightforward to use. It also has a fast and slow mode, a pressure sensor and a 30-second timer.
Teeth feel cleaner after brushing and and there's a noticeable reduction in plaque. Some people may find the bristles stiff, though, so consider yourself warned if you suffer with sensitivity.
SonicYou Mint Green
You may not think the shape of your brush head matters, until you actually try using it. This model proved to be the perfect oval shape for reaching every plaque-filled crevasse and will leave cleaner teeth in its wake.
