electric toothbrushes are basically a duopoly between sonicare and oral-b, studies are equal for both. main difference between the two is that sonicare uses vibration and you brush normally with it, oral-b is more like a oscillating electric car buffer so you basically slide it over the teeth as it does the brushing motion. i prefer the oral-b after trying both only because the head is smaller and that helps me reach my back molars/wisdom teeth easier
only recommendation for buying one is that make sure it has a 4 quadrant timer and a pressure sensor that alerts you when you're brushing too hard, these are features usually in the 30-50 buck range, anything over that is giving you random phone app bullshit you dont need lmao
if you really, really wanna splurge on this shit i hear the new magnetic drive oral-b brushes are pretty good but they cost way too much for me to consider buying one
I love the sonicare vibration and I can't imagine anything being better but your other contribution to this thread is my other unequivocal recommendation so you might be on to something.
I definitely prefer the oscillation to the vibration.
I think Xiaomi makes some electric toothbrushes but idk if they are any good.
