Electric toothbrushes work better than regular toothbrushes. They aren’t just for the “energy efficient.” (You know, the lazy.) They remove more plaque and food debris than the good, old manual toothbrush, and I’ve noticed happier dentist visits since I switched to one years ago.Until recently, a decent electric toothbrush was a serious investment, but they’ve gotten cheaper in recent years, even as they’ve gotten better, too. Take the Aquasonic Vibe Series Ultra-Whitening Toothbrush, for example. At $40 on this $10-off sale, it’s a hell of a lot cheaper than a cavity.a better clean(opens in a new window)AquasonicVibe Series Ultra-Whitening Toothbrush(opens in a new window)$39.95 (reg. $49.95) at AmazonBuy Now(opens in a new window)This isn’t the first Aquasonic electric toothbrush deal we’ve highlighted.

The only real downside is that at two minutes per brushing, twice a day, it takes about 4.5 hours to recharge overnight.(opens in a new window)Philips Sonicare5950 Series Electric Toothbrush(opens in a new window)Available at AmazonBuy Now(opens in a new window)The Philips Sonicare 5950 Series Electric Toothbrush ups the price to $110, but it adds a pressure sensor (which the Aquasonic doesn’t have) that lessens the power if it senses you brushing too hard.(opens in a new window)Oral-BiO Series 3 Electric Toothbrush(opens in a new window)Available at AmazonBuy Now(opens in a new window)Available at WalmartBuy Now(opens in a new window)Compared to the Philips Sonicare 5950, the Oral-B iO Series 3 Electric Toothbrush uses a round, circular head, not an elongated head.
