Given that cleaning your teeth is something we all have to do twice a day, every single day, investing in an electric toothbrush is a pretty solid idea (let's face it, they offer a superior clean over manual ones - your dentist deffo isn't playing around when they recommend it). However, they can often be fairly pricey... unless you happen to spot one in the Amazon Prime Day sale!
When it comes to reviewing electric toothbrushes, if we had to play favourites? We'd say the Oral-B Genius 8000 Electric Toothbrush is one of the best available, not only because it comes in a chic black and looks ever so nice standing by the bathroom sink, but because it has a host of additional clever features, such as AI technology. Typically though, this toothy peg scrubber retails at £279.99... which isn't cheap. But today? It's an absolute steal at £126.90 thanks to Amazon's mega sale (which ends midnight on Wednesday).
For those amongst us who are also not the best at maths (no shame in that game, my friend), that's a whopping 55% off! So if you've been umm-ing and ahh-ing about whether or not to invest in an electric toothbrush, might we be the first to suggest now is the perfect time to give one a go?
The Oral-B Genius 8000 Electric Toothbrush also comes with a charger, three different heads, operates under 5 modes (including one that allegedly helps to whiten teeth) and has special pressure sensors, meaning it'll alert you if you're brushing too hard (which can cause gum recession – eek! – so is certainly something we all ought to be mindful of). It also comes complete with a travel case, should you be heading off anywhere nice this winter.
Also, this isn't to say that manual brushes are a total write-off, but dentists do tend to recommend electric options as they’re specially designed to massage your teeth and gums correctly.
And finally, without running the risk of sounding like an actual QVC salesperson, we'll leave you with this as a parting thought: the current sale on the Oral-B Genius 8000 Electric Toothbrush is only set to last until the end of the day tomorrow... make of that what you will.
Happy teeth cleaning, folks!
