The seven electric toothbrushes here are compared on what their listings state: brushing action, modes or intensity settings, pressure sensor, timer, battery life and what comes in the box. Three are Oral-B iO brushes, whose listings describe a round brush head; three are Philips Sonicare brushes and one is a Colgate, and those four listings say sonic. Oral-B and Philips Sonicare made up most of the electric toothbrush listings we read on Amazon.com.au, and every listing here makes a plaque-removal claim, which we leave out. Each of the seven specification tables names adults in its target audience row. All seven were listed on Amazon.com.au with a buy button when we read the listings on 13 October 2026, and every mode count, intensity setting, timer interval and battery life below is taken from the product's own listing.

How to choose the best electric toothbrushes in Australia

  1. 1Decide whether you want a pressure sensor, and how it should tell you. The Oral-B iO Series 3 displays red when you brush too hard and green when brushing just right; the Oral-B iO Series 2 slows down and signals red; the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean 9000 makes a pulsing sound; the Philips Sonicare 4100 gives gentle vibrations. The Sonicare 2100 and Colgate Pulse Essential listings do not mention a pressure sensor, and the Oral-B iO 6 listing says only "a colour-coded alert system".
  2. 2Count modes and intensity settings separately, because the listings do. The Oral-B iO 6 names five modes, the DiamondClean 9000 four modes and three intensities, the iO Series 3 and iO Series 2 three modes each and the Colgate Pulse Essential two. The Sonicare 4100 (High, Medium, Low) and the Sonicare 2100 (Medium, Low) count intensity settings.
  3. 3If battery life matters, only three listings put a figure on it, and all three say up to 14 days: the Sonicare 4100 and Sonicare 2100 for regular brushing after one full charge, and the Colgate Pulse Essential when brushing twice daily. The three Oral-B listings and the DiamondClean 9000 listing give no figure.
  4. 4Check what is in the box. The iO 6 has a travel case, and the iO Series 3 listing mentions a hard travel case; no other listing here mentions a travel case. The Colgate Pulse Essential comes with a USB charging base, the Sonicare 2100 set list includes a charger, and the Sonicare 4100 set list reads "1x charger (power adaptor not included)".
  5. 5Brushing figures cannot rank these brushes. The Sonicare 4100 description gives 31,000 bristle movements per minute and the Sonicare 2100 listing gives 31,000 bristle movements with no time base. The Oral-B, DiamondClean 9000 and Colgate listings give no figure: the Oral-B listings describe a round brush head, and the other two say sonic.

Editor's note

Three things separate these brushes. The first is how each listing describes the brushing. The three Oral-B iO listings describe a round brush head, and the Philips Sonicare and Colgate listings say sonic. Only the Sonicare 4100 and Sonicare 2100 listings give a figure, 31,000 bristle movements, so there is nothing to rank across the brands. The second is feedback on pressure: the iO Series 3, iO Series 2, DiamondClean 9000 and Sonicare 4100 listings each name a pressure sensor, and the Sonicare 2100 and Colgate listings mention none. The third is what each listing commits to on battery life and the box. Only the Sonicare 4100, Sonicare 2100 and Colgate listings state a battery life, up to 14 days each on its own conditions; only the iO 6 and iO Series 3 listings mention a travel case; and only the DiamondClean 9000 listing mentions an app. None of the seven listings states a warranty term in the features or specifications we read. Listings were read on 13 October 2026 and can change.

Frequently asked questions

Which electric toothbrushes have a pressure sensor?

Four listings in this guide name one. The Oral-B iO Series 3 displays red when you brush too hard and green when brushing just right, the Oral-B iO Series 2 slows down and signals red, the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean 9000 makes a pulsing sound and the Philips Sonicare 4100 gives gentle vibrations. The Oral-B iO 6 listing mentions a colour-coded alert system without calling it a pressure sensor, and the Sonicare 2100 and Colgate Pulse Essential listings do not mention one.

How long does an electric toothbrush battery last between charges?

Three listings in this guide give a figure, and all three say up to 14 days. The Philips Sonicare 4100 and Sonicare 2100 state up to 14 days of regular brushing after one full charge, and the Colgate Pulse Essential states up to 14 days when brushing twice daily. The three Oral-B listings and the DiamondClean 9000 listing give no battery life figure; the iO Series 2 listing calls its battery long-lasting without a figure.

What is the difference between Oral-B and Philips Sonicare electric toothbrushes?

In these listings, the difference is how each describes the brushing. The three Oral-B iO listings describe a round brush head: oscillating-rotating with micro-vibrating bristles on the iO 6, micro-vibrations on the iO Series 3 and micropulsating bristles on the iO Series 2. The three Philips Sonicare listings say sonic, and the Sonicare 4100 description gives 31,000 bristle movements per minute. The Oral-B listings give no figure to set beside that, so this guide does not rank one kind above the other.

Which electric toothbrush works with an app?

Of the seven listings in this guide, only the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean 9000's mentions an app: it says that connecting to the Sonicare app gives a personalised Progress Report. The Oral-B iO 6 is titled Connected Coach, but the features and specifications we read do not mention an app, and the other five listings do not mention one either.
