    I have both an Oral B Vitality Plus and a Phillips Sonic HX3671/14, I never use my Oral B except for when I forget to charge my Philips Sonic. 

    Phillips Sonic HX3671/14 does a superior clean and I've been able to use the unused new heads of my old Philips Sonic HX3110-A2 with my new usb Philips Sonic so the price of heads have never bothered me.

    For replacement heads Amazon's my go to...
    'Derffin Replacement Toothbrush Heads, 8 Pack Standard Brush Heads Compatible with Philips Sonicare Electric Toothbrushes, Fit The Models of HX3/HX6/HX9/HX8/HX7 Series' and 'Qitizu Toothbrush Head Compatible with Oral b Braun Electric Toothbrush, Precision Replacement Brush Heads for Pro Smart Genius, Efficient Clean -16 Pack' both are around £8 right now but flash sales do happen.

    My preference is and will probably always be Sonic, I dislike my Oral B, only bought it out of curiousity.

    Since going sonic I see a dentist never.. and I currently don't have a Dentist as my last one was asking ME for advice :-D because I have super white teeth and no cavities.

    Hope the info helps.

    Anyone tried Ordo , Colgate Hum or Spotlight ?
    Are you specifically only interested in sonic brushes?
    No, I'm interested in all electric toothbrushes 
    That's interesting, the IO and all the ones you link to are sonic brushes - hence the question.
    Just noticed this, iO and other Oral B brushes aren't sonic. 
    How to find a dentist.
    1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
    2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
    3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
    4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.
