The 6 Best Oral-B Electric Toothbrushes of 2024, Tested and Reviewed

Why We Like It

The Oral-B Genius X Limited is our top pick because it packs all the features you need in a highly intuitive, seamlessly functional toothbrush. The first thing we noticed about this toothbrush was its ergonomics: it was comfortable, with all the buttons in the right places for easy mode switches mid-brush (even with sudsy hands). We loved how the head glided effortlessly over our teeth and helped us reach the furthest corners of the mouth. 

It’s the elegant functionality of this toothbrush that truly sets it apart. We loved the vibrating timer every 30 seconds to tell us to switch areas and a satisfying longer vibration once we hit the two-minute mark. The flashing red light when you push too hard was a real bonus for those of us with receding gums. And though we were skeptical about the Bluetooth connectivity (an app for tooth brushing, really?), the real-time brush-tracking and history functions helped us improve our brushing prowess through time.

The Bluetooth connectivity and customizable features on the Oral-B app make the Oral-B io Series 9 toothbrush a strong choice for people with receding gums or who are prone to over-brushing. The built-in sensor offers real-time reminders so you’re applying the perfect amount of pressure in the right areas at all times.

While the large brush head and long bristles make maneuvering between areas slightly awkward, the toothbrush’s action takes care of the manual work—no elbow grease is required. App features like timer alerts and easy-to-switch-between brush settings let you personalize your daily routine, making it a great option for people with specific dental requirements.

The mouthfeel it produces makes this toothbrush worthy of the price tag. After we tried it, every tooth felt individually polished, and every part of the mouth felt equally well treated. So, if you aspire to glass-like smoothness on your teeth, this brush more than lives up to expectations.

It’s Worth Noting

People with sensitive teeth know all about spending too much time brushing too lightly to avoid tooth and gum pain. The Oral-B iO Series 5’s multiple sensitivity modes and built-in light-up pressure sensor allow you to get the coverage you need in the two-minute timeframe you want.

Though connecting to the Oral-B app didn’t offer much insight beyond the timer, battery life indicator, and brushing coverage, the reward medals for a job well done add a little fun to your everyday chore. It’s also worth noting that the handy timer buzzers only work when you’re not using the app.

Where this toothbrush scores well for sensitive teeth and gums is the light-up pressure sensor—green for perfect pressure, “white” (though, strangely, actually blue) for too soft, and red for too hard. It’s real-time gratification that you’re doing it right or wrong, so there’s no need to guess it second. Although the auto pause mentioned in the instructions is just an extra buzz when 2 minutes are up, the vibrating timer is a game changer for people prone to losing track of time.

It’s Worth Noting

• Some features listed in the instructions function slightly differently than described.

Product Details:

• Functionality: 2 sensitivity modes, 5 total smart modes, built-in timer, pressure sensor
• Features: AI technology, Bluetooth-enabled, intuitive app with real-time brush tracking
• What’s included: Handle, charger, travel case, brush head

The Oral-B Genius 6000 is an excellent portable choice because of its quick and simple setup, straightforward charger (which we were pleased to discover is compatible with some other Oral-B brushes), and sturdy travel case.

Well-placed buttons and easy-to-read setting icons make selecting your brushing mode a breeze. Its thick neck and forceful action (even on the lower settings) are definitely worth considering if you have sensitive teeth or gums. But for people who appreciate a job thoroughly done, after a brief period of adjustment to this toothbrush’s intensity, the results were consistently smooth.

The Oral-B Genius 6000 has Bluetooth connectivity and many other models’ in-app features. But, especially for travel, we found the real-time light-up pressure guide a great (and instant) way to maintain uniform coverage daily without needing to access a daily report card.

It’s Worth Noting

• The supplied brush head felt stiff and the motor was very loud.

Product Details:

• Functionality: Built-in timer, pressure sensor
• Features: AI technology, Bluetooth-enabled, intuitive app with real-time brush tracking
• What’s included: Handle, charger, travel case, brush head

The Oral-B iO Series 10 is a great choice for those seeking an advanced electric toothbrush option featuring seven cleaning modes, real-time coverage, pressure monitoring, and a built-in timer right on the smart charger. While comprehensive, the pre-charged device’s numerous features and beeps required a manual read and app download. The package included three identical brush heads, a smart charger, and a travel case.

The toothbrush’s handle felt just right, and the small, round brush head was a refreshing change, allowing for better access to tight spots and crevices. The multiple settings and extra features (like the tongue cleaner) offered a diverse brushing experience. While navigating these settings might require more effort than some would prefer, it’s a great addition for tech or oral care enthusiasts. Post-brushing, teeth felt plaque-free, although the taste was less minty, likely due to the smaller brush head.

After a two-minute brushing, the screen and its smiley face added a fun, rewarding element to the routine. While the $400 price tag felt steep, the toothbrush impressed us with its advanced features, catering to varied oral care needs.

It’s Worth Noting

• Surprisingly it lacks a protective cover for the brush head.

Product Details

• Functionality: Built-in timer, pressure sensor, multiple settings, tongue cleaner
• Features: AI technology, Bluetooth-enabled, intuitive app with real-time brush tracking
• What’s included: Handle, charger, travel case, 4 brush heads
