Can you recommend a good affordable Electric Toothbrush?

MSE_Billy

Hi all,

My electric toothbrush is on its way out and needs replacing, but there are now so many options it's impossible to get my head around.

I don't really want to spend more than £50 on a new one (ideally even less!) and hopefully might get something in the sales.

Can you recommend anything?

Thanks

Emmia

I have an Oral b 3, 3500 - which you can normally find for around £35 

 Oral-B Pro 3 Electric Toothbrushes For Adults, Christmas Gifts For Women / Him, 1 Cross Action Toothbrush Head & Mondrian Travel Case, 3 Modes with Teeth Whitening, 2 Pin UK Plug, 3500 https://amzn.eu/d/9ZIppKw

Would completely agree with the above post.

Oral B every time - get one that would normally be £50-£60 on a good offer (There's always a good offer on somewhere) Look for one with a pressure sensor, like this one has.

Make sure you only use Oral B heads on it (Not cheap knock off ones) - but they are often on offer as well - so get a few when they are. Make sure you change the heads at a decent interval of about 10 - 12 weeks as well (and set that on a phone to remind you, or on your calendar - it flies by)

Have a look at Superdrug current offers (extra 10% off for Black Friday w/e)
cheapest Oral B replacement heads are 8 for £13.?? - £1.74 each

There's a O.B Pro 3 300 for £34.99 in white. RRP £100

Oral B every time. You can find new toothbrush heads from 43p each on Amazon, they maybe soft but they will last for about a month and a half.

Oral b all the way but don't be tempted to buy fake teplacement heads.

Colgate.  Very affordable at around £25 and last for a very long time, I think my current one is around 3 years old.  Also clean your teeth very well!

Oral B seems well recommended on this thread.
I've never had an electric toothbrush but saw the Dentist last week, who recommended I use an electric toothbrush and suggested the Philips Sonicare 7900 because of the gum care settings.  That is £90, even with Black Friday pricing.
Is the Oral B linked by @Emmia just as good?  That is 1/3rd the price and also seems to have the gum care setting.

Hopefully you've been replacing the heads every 3 months... And you're not still on the original head.

If anyone might be in the market for two toothbrushes... Then the twin pack often saves about £10 as opposed to buying separately

Deal of the day: Oral-B Pro 3 2x Electric Toothbrushes For Adults, Christmas Gifts For Women / Him, 2 Handles & 2 Cross Action Toothbrush Heads, 3 Modes, Teeth Whitening, gum pressure 2 Pin Plug, 3900, Black & Pink https://amzn.eu/d/g5UWdoe

I've also seen 2x black, and 1 white & 1 black as the options, but they're less common (and sometimes more expensive) than black & pink

Well it is a money saving Forum!! 😂 - Yes I might have changed the head once or twice!
