Professional cleaning at home: TOP 5 electric toothbrushes with whitening function

Xiaomi and its sub-brands like to experiment with the design and functionality of their products, as well as endow them with modern features. Another such creation was the Xiaomi Oclean X toothbrush, which differs from competitors by the presence of a 0.96-inch touch screen on the body. And, as it turned out, this is quite a convenient addition. If you do not take into account the power button, the screen takes over almost all control of the device: here you can select settings, set the cleaning duration, enable or disable reminders to change the cleaning zone and see the remaining battery percentage. And for the best results, the display shows the time spent on the procedure, the overall score for cleaning and the percentage of areas skipped. By the way, a special sensor is responsible for the last item, which monitors the movements of the cleaning head and helps determine the correctness of cleaning different areas and detect "blind spots" that you missed. The screen also plays the role of an information board, showing the time, date and even the weather outside.

In addition, you can control the brush through the application on a paired smartphone. It displays the frequency of using the gadget, the quality of cleaning the lower and upper jaws inside and out. And you can also make individual settings, taking into account the characteristics of the teeth and gums and personal preferences.

A brushless motor is installed inside, which is not only powerful (up to 40 thousand vibrations per minute), but also durable - its service life is more than 5 thousand hours. In total, there are three modes to choose from: daily cleaning, whitening and gum massage, as well as as many as 32 intensity levels for more thorough or delicate cleaning. Moreover, artificial intelligence and various sensors recognize too long use in one area or excessive pressure and automatically reduce the vibration intensity to avoid damage. In addition, a DuPont nozzle with round bristles is used, which adheres well to the surface and thoroughly cleans the gaps between the teeth and other hard-to-reach places.

Another strong point of the toothbrush is autonomy. A capacious 800 mAh battery will last about a month without recharging (depending on the duration and frequency of use), and fast charging will fully restore its reserves in just 2 hours. This is a very good indicator for brushes, which usually take 3 to 4 times longer to charge. For charging, a convenient docking station is used, which also plays the role of a wall mount, and the brush itself is attached to it with a magnet. And don't worry if water accidentally gets on the device while bathing - the brush body is splash-proof according to the IPX7 standard.

To summarize, this is an inexpensive toothbrush that stands out from the competition with its advanced features and has some features like smartphone synchronization and various “smart” sensors, which are mainly inherent in models from the “major league” with a price tag several times higher. Perhaps, only one more nozzle in the kit is missing, but for such a price it is excusable.

The electric toothbrush of the Swiss brand Polaris belongs to the middle price category and, although it lacks “smart” functions, it has everything you need for an effective and comfortable daily ritual. Perhaps one of the main advantages is the equipment. It includes a handy travel case for storage and travel, and a total of three attachments. True, the charger does not fit into the case, although they are usually not designed for this, and the nozzles are devoid of any identification marks. If you need them for a shift, there will be no problems, but if you plan to use the brush with the whole family, you will have to somehow mark which nozzle belongs to whom. Sets of nozzles in other colors are also available, but they must be purchased separately. Since there is no wear indicator here, you will have to control this yourself. The blue bristles of the nozzle will come to the rescue, which lose their color as they wear.

In addition, there is an IPX7 waterproof case (that is, it will definitely withstand splashes and short-term immersions) and a small charging stand that powers a 600 mAh battery. And this is another advantage, since a single charge will last up to 60 days of use in Sensitive mode at a minimum intensity. Unfortunately, you should not count on fast charging - the battery is charged up to 12 hours.

But still, the main task of a toothbrush is a thorough cleaning of the oral cavity, and the model copes well with this. It has in its arsenal as many as five modes: Clean for intensive professional cleaning (at a speed of 41 thousand vibrations per minute), White for whitening(48 thousand pulsations / min), Sensitive for gentle, delicate cleaning (33 thousand pulsations / min), Polish for polishing the front teeth (33,000 pulses/min) and Gum Care for gum care (31,000 pulses/min). Also, the brush will monitor the duration of the procedure: every 30 seconds, the work stops so that you move to the next zone, and after 2-3 minutes (depending on the mode), the brush turns off - this time is enough for hygiene.

At the same time, the control is quite simple and clear: the modes are displayed using symbols and inscriptions in English, and there is only one physical button on the case, which is responsible for turning on / off and switching modes. There is also a battery level indicator that will tell you when you need to use the outlet and charging station.

Sencor's model will take care not only of your smile, but also of the condition of the brush itself thanks to the multifunctional travel case with UV sterilizer. Thus, in it you can not only store the brush, but also disinfect it and nozzles, getting rid of germs and bacteria. In addition, the case acts as a charger, being powered from a wall outlet or an external battery via a cable and a USB port. Fits the body and two brush heads, or one brush head and a tube of toothpaste —a great travel kit.

In addition, the kit includes two nozzles and a regular charging station, which looks like a compact stand - for normal use at home, when you don't have to go anywhere. But often you won’t have to take it out - one charge of an 800 mAh battery will last for 180 minutes, which is as much as 45 days of battery life, taking into account cleaning twice a day for 2 minutes.

In order for cleaning to be more effective and the result to be preserved for a long time, the manufacturer offers 5 speed modes with a frequency of sound vibrations up to 48 thousand per minute and 5 programs: "Clean" or daily cleaning, "Sensitive" for delicate cleansing, "White" ( whitening), "Polish" (tooth polishing) and "Massage" to massage the gums and improve blood circulation. Moreover, the brush remembers the last selected settings and activates them the next time you turn it on. Not without a timer that fires every 30 seconds and stops working after 2 minutes.

Braun has a long and successful history of producing products for oral hygiene and almost every year pleases users with new products for every taste and budget. Model Oral-B Genius X 20000N belongs to the category of advanced electric toothbrushes, which, of course, could not but be reflected in its price tag. It uses a 3D brush head that cleans the tooth from all sides with a reciprocating, rotating and pulsating motion, removing plaque and debris between the teeth. Depending on the selected mode, the rotational speed reaches 10.5 thousand / min, and the pulsation frequency - 48 thousand / min. Moreover, if you press too hard, the brush will give a signal, turn off the pulsation and reduce the rotation speed so as not to damage the gums.

In addition, the device has an “Artificial Intelligence” function: using motion sensors, it analyzes how you brush your teeth and provides useful instructions and recommendations to help improve the result. This happens in the proprietary Oral-B App, which must be downloaded to synchronize the brush with a smartphone via Bluetooth. The app is available for iOS and Android. By the way, it also allows you to change the color of the backlight of the SmartRing indicator ring.

Braun did not waste time on trifles and equipped the model with six operating modes at once. These are Daily Cleaning, Sensitive Teeth, Whitening, Professional Cleaning, Gum Care and Tongue Cleaning. The variety, of course, is good, but, as practice shows, after a while, many use one or more of their favorite modes. There is also a timer that controls the duration of brushing.

Surprisingly, such a “genius” also has weaknesses. More precisely, she is alone, and this is the battery. One charge is enough for 48 minutes or 12 days if you brush your teeth for 2 minutes in the morning and evening. For such a price tag, I would like not to think about charging so often, especially since it will take a lot of time to fully restore energy - as much as 12 hours. To do this, the kit comes with a compact charging stand and a charging case with a stylish design that can charge not only the brush, but also other gadgets thanks to the USB connector. Therefore, it will be an perfect companion for long trips and business trips.

By the way, you will also find a stand for four nozzles in the set, although the device is equipped with only one. Again, for such a price, I would like at least a couple of nozzles so as not to spend money on them so often.

The Philips Electric Sonic Toothbrush is not cheap, but it offers a lot of innovative technologies for better and more effective brushing. The C3 Premium Plaque Contol has soft and flexible bristles that follow the contours of your teeth and help you reach those hard to reach places. According to the manufacturer, the nozzle is able to remove up to 10 times more plaque, while users themselves note that as a result of use, the color of the teeth improves, and plaque does not remain on them, as after a regular brush. And the merit in this is not only the nozzle, but also several modes of operation of the device. First, there are four programs: Clean (Cleaning) for everyday cleaning, White + (Whitening) to remove darkening, Gum Health (Gum Health) for gentle cleaning of the gums and Deep Clean + ( Deep cleaning) for the most thorough cleaning. Secondly, three settings allow you to choose also the intensity for a more thorough cleaning or delicate for sensitive teeth and gums.

In addition, the brush detects the pressing force and signals excessive pressure on the teeth using vibration and sound signals. Thus, your teeth and gums will be protected from damage. And for beginners, there is the EasyStar function, which gradually increases the intensity during the first 14 days of use, so that the transition from a regular to an electric toothbrush is as comfortable as possible.

Philips Sonicare DiamondClean HX9911 is powered by a built-in battery, but one charge is enough for only 2 weeks of regular use. But you can charge it in several convenient ways. The kit comes with a small charging base that can charge the brush on its own or through a glass cup, which you will also find in the kit. In addition, the glass can be used to rinse the mouth. In addition, the model is equipped with a convenient charging case with a USB port, which will be convenient when traveling.

But the manufacturer, unfortunately, did not please with a set of interchangeable nozzles - there is only one nozzle in the kit. You can connect various other Philips Sonicare tips (for plaque removal, gum health, whitening, etc.), but they will have to be purchased separately. But the intelligent BrushSync system itself determines the type of nozzle connected and sets the required mode, as well as analyzes the time of use and the level of pressure and notifies you when you need to replace the brush head.

Finally, Philips Sonicare DiamondClean HX9911 is not an ordinary electric toothbrush, but with a “smart” prefix. This means you can sync it with your smartphone via Bluetooth and the Sonicare app to monitor and improve your healthy habits.
