Panasonic EW-DM81-W503 Sonic Electric Toothbrush, Rechargeable (2 Heads, 2 Modes of Use, 31,000 Vibrations per Minute, Lightweight Design)

Product Information

The SPY team has tested hundreds of grooming products in 2022, and we recently named the Panasonic Multishape the best grooming product of the year in the SPY Best of 2022 Awards. It's well designed, too. A bright touchscreen display built into the brush handle allows you to choose from various modes and intensity settings, with a timer that counts down as you brush. It works surprisingly well with wet hands and is more intuitive than pushing a series of physical buttons.

It’s tempting to say that this is the best electric toothbrush out there. The reason it hasn’t won the top spot is because it’s very expensive and, on balance, the Spotlight Oral Care and Suri offer a better balance of performance and affordability. Brushing modes: The vast majority of toothbrushes have several cleaning modes depending on the type of brush you're after. For instance, some will have specific settings for sensitive teeth, gum cleaning, daily cleanse or a dedicated mode for cleaning your tongue. Pricier models will feature more modes and, while most are largely the same sort of thing with minute variations in speed, it might be that you need to look after delicate gums for the foreseeable future.

How we test the best electric toothbrushes 2023

It comes with a port to recharge your battery, which is long-lasting, and the travel case means you can take it on the go. Take a look at the results of our best water flossers test too, if you're looking to boost your regime even further.

Intrinsic stains within the teeth, by contrast, are down to age or genetics. Dentists can perform tooth-whitening procedures on intrinsic stains. Using an electric toothbrush will not remove intrinsic stains, but will reduce the likelihood of adding extrinsic stains.” Most of the best electric toothbrushes have a number of common features. For starters, they have a two-minute timer with 30-second intervals, which lets you know you're brushing your teeth for the ADA-approved amount of time.It's not so basic that it doesn't have a pressure sensor or a few cleaning modes –four to be exact– but it throws away the AI tech found in the likes of top Oral-B and Philips models in favour of a solid handle, an ergonomic, long-lasting design, and a marathon-length battery. Calling your product “prestige” will always conjure up a certain expectation – Philips claims it's the most advanced brush it makes – and that statement is undercutting the truth, as it's one of the best toothbrushes around. Before we even get into the technical features though, just look at it. We defy you to find a more handsome toothbrush set in the history of toothbrush sets. If you felt like your toothbrush was a cold, heartless tool to just get a clean mouth, then the 9900 Prestige is here to show your bathroom routine a bit of love, with a stunning charging stand and travel case that complements its sleek, dark appearance and minimalist design.
