The best electric toothbrushes have features that might surprise you: They’re now packed with tech features to guide and monitor your brushing. They will also allow you to carefully customize their performance so that it is comfortable and efficient for you.
There are now so many great models available that we’ve rounded up the best Oral-B brushes, the best electric toothbrushes overall – and the best budget models.
But alongside well-known brands like Oral-B, there are lesser-known names, some of which offer cutting-edge products – and often for much less.
Check out all of this year’s Tech Advisor Best of 2024-25 award winners.
Best New Electric Toothbrush of the Year – Winner: Oclean X Ultra S
Emma Rowley / Foundry
The X Ultra S is Oclean’s latest flagship brush, and it’s an attractive little model with a tapered, matte handle and a color touchscreen. When you brush your teeth, the screen shows a countdown, but you can also slide it to switch between brushing modes.
But there are much more customization options in the app, where you can take a quiz and get a smart suggestion, choose from one of 14 cleaning modes (e.g. braces, super whitening or travel) . Or create your own custom mode, specifying brushing duration, mode and intensity level.
X Ultra S is a smart and sophisticated electric toothbrush
The brush features a highly visible illuminated ring pressure sensor and comes with high-quality accessories including a USB charging case for travel. Another huge plus is its 40-day battery life. All in all, the X Ultra S is a smart and sophisticated electric toothbrush. And there’s an added feature: In its scientific brushing mode, it uses bone conduction technology to provide audio brushing advice as you go.

Best New Electric Toothbrush of the Year – First Runner-Up: Be Lucent Prism
Emma Rowley / Foundry
This elegant brush from the Swedish brand Be Lucent. Instead of the diamond-shaped black screen you’ll see on most brushes that come with one, the Prism has an LED screen hidden beneath its surface. The screen shows the brushing mode you are in, the timer and the battery indicator.
Its brushing options are much simpler than those offered by the X Ultra S. It only offers three modes: clean, sensitive and white. And when you pick it up and start brushing, it turns on automatically.
It has a phenomenal 60-day battery life, charges via USB and comes with a travel case for its toothbrush heads, while the handle is lockable, so it won’t turn on in your luggage.

Best New Electric Toothbrush of the Year – Runner-up: Oral-B iO Series 2
Emma Rowley / Foundry
This year, Oral-B launched its most affordable iO yet. While we don’t think it’s for everyone – check out our ultimate iO guide to find the best model for you – it’s a great choice for anyone looking to upgrade from a manual brush. It’s much gentler than most electric toothbrushes and has three gentle brushing modes – super sensitive, gentle and daily clean – and easy to use, with just one button.
It has a two-minute brushing timer, a small pressure indicator, and – which may make it a hassle-free purchase – a battery life of several weeks, which is longer than any other iO model.
