Our take: the dearest brushes add things like pressure sensors, an app and a travel case. Their ratings are no higher than much cheaper brushes. If you will use those extras, fine; if not, a mid-range brush is enough. Replacement heads are a running cost, so check them before you choose.

Short answer: Usually not for cleaning alone. The Oral-B iO3 (around £60) has a 4.4 rating from more than 2,900 buyers, higher than the Sonicare DiamondClean Prestige 9900, which is around £353 or more and rated 3.9. Prices and ratings are from Amazon UK, checked when our catalogue was last updated. Prices change, so check the latest on Amazon.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a £200 electric toothbrush better than a £50 one?
On Amazon UK the ratings do not show it. The dearest Sonicare here is rated 3.9 against 4.2 to 4.4 for far cheaper brushes. Extra money buys extras such as an app, pressure sensor and travel case.
What should I look for in an electric toothbrush?
A two-minute timer and a pressure sensor are the most useful features. Check the price of replacement heads, as they are a running cost.
