Philips Sonicare 1100 Power
A practical electric toothbrush (sonic) that helps you brush more effectively than a manual brush.
The Best Sonic Toothbrushes in the UK (2026)
Sonic toothbrushes clean with a fast side-to-side vibration and a larger brush head - the style Philips Sonicare popularised. Many people find them gentler than oscillating brushes while still cleaning thoroughly, especially around the gumline.
What to look for
- A high brushing frequency for a thorough sonic clean.
- A pressure sensor and timer.
- Good battery life (sonic brushes often last weeks).
- Head availability for the brand you choose.
