It’s hard to put into words just how clean your teeth can feel after the first time you use a proper electric toothbrush – if you’re used to traditional brushing, it’s hard to go back. However, there’s also no doubt that plenty of people get put off by the higher prices often attached to them.
If that applies to you, or if you’re just looking to replace yours with a newer model, Amazon has a pretty staggering deal right now. It’s offering an Oral-B iO 3 Matt Black Ultimate Clean Electric Toothbrush for just £65, down from its full price of £160, saving a massive £95. Even better, the pack comes with two toothbrush heads and a travel case, to get you started all in one go, and you can get that price on a black or sky-blue brush handle.
According to shoppers, this toothbrush is really easy to use and removes way more plaque than a manual brush does. It also has one of the features that dentists love to recommend – a pressure sensor with a light that you can see while brushing, to let you know if you’re pressing down too hard and overbrushing. Timers make it easy to make sure you do a full two-minute clean, and three cleaning modes mean that you can get the right settings for your teeth, too.

Nearly 18,000 people have left reviews after buying this really popular toothbrush, and their ratings average out to an impressive 4.6 stars. One of these happy customers wrote: “This is a good quality electric toothbrush that performs well, gives an effective clean, and includes a brush sensitive function and integral timer.”
Another user said: “Bought as a replacement for previous electrical toothbrush and felt the difference after one cleaning of my teeth. The power is perfect for whatever strength of clean you are wanting.” A third person added to this: “Essentially, it enhances the cleaning experience and reaches awkward places that manual brushing struggles with. The charge lasts at least 14 days, and the battery warning is a useful feature that allows at least 3 days more use.”
Some people have been more critical, though, like one person who wrote: “Sprays toothpaste if you don’t keep in your mouth.” Another user added: “Nice but so loud.”
There are plenty of other electric toothbrushes to compare this one against, of course – including the Suri toothbrush, priced at £63.75. Another option is the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean 9000 at Boots; you can get it for £135 right now at Boots, down from £300.
For most people, though, the simplicity of the Oral-B iO 3 Matt Black Ultimate Clean Electric Toothbrush makes it the best choice, especially with the travel case thrown in.
