I’ve been thinking about upgrading my electric toothbrush since my current crappy one is basically on death’s door after a couple years of use. Is there like a toothbrush equivalent of a Toyota Hilux I should know about?

    Used Oral-B for a few years. Then Sonicare for a few years. Preferred the former simply because the brush seemed more ergonomically shaped.

    And now I use neither and brush manually again!

    Reason: for me the most important factor in having a mouth that feels clean is clearing the spaces between the teeth. And electric toothbrushes don’t do this any more effectively than manual ones. A dental jet does, and I used one for years (Waterpik) and loved it. Then I discovered that even a dental jet is not as effective as something else: those little interdental brushes.

    So in the end I dumped all the gadgets and just use these two manual tools.
