1. autonomy
The most important criterion for frequent travelersAll models in comparison are battery powered. It is much more convenient and environmentally friendly than batteries. The decisive criterion when choosing a device for many is its autonomy. In this regard, the CS Medica toothbrush pleased. It will work without recharging for 3 hours, according to the manufacturer. Reviews do not confirm, but do not refute this information. But many customers managed to use the device for several minutes a day for months, and the battery remained partially charged.
Not far gone Xiaomi electric brush - more than an hour of work on a single charge. This means that one adult will be able to brush their teeth daily for 2 minutes for a month. But after such an intense load, the device will take a long time to charge. Although in this regard, Philips unexpectedly became the leader with a minus sign. More than a day to recover is really too much. B.Well charges the fastest, but the battery lasts less than half an hour. On the handle of each toothbrush there is an indicator that displays the level of remaining charge.
Name | Battery life | Charging duration |
Oral-B Pro 500 CrossAction | 30 minutes | 17 hours |
Philips Sonicare CleanCare+ HX3292/44 | 40 minutes | 24 hours |
Xiaomi Mi Electric Toothbrush | 72 minutes | 12 hours |
CS Medica CS-131 | 180 minutes | 10 hours |
B.Well MED-820 | 28 minutes | 7 o'clock |
2. Cleaning technology
Let's figure out which is better - standard or sonic brushesStandard electric toothbrushes have been around for over 60 years. They have the simplest principle of operation: the nozzle with bristles rotates, massaging the gums and cleaning the teeth from plaque. Due to the low speed of movement, such models are suitable for absolutely everyone. They have a minimum of contraindications and risks. Oral-B or B.Well is the best option for those who have not used such devices before.
As a rule, sonic brushes cost a little more, but here a lot depends on the functionality and vibration range. These models differ visually (elongated nozzle instead of the standard round) and technically (increased number of oscillations per minute). The high-frequency generator successfully replaces the electric motor, turning the paste into a homogeneous air mass for effective plaque removal even from the most inaccessible areas.
Oral B uses a unique 3D technology. During the cleaning process, the device simultaneously performs not only pulsating, but also reciprocating rotational movements (8800 per minute). Due to this, it is possible to effectively loosen plaque and “sweep” it from the surface of the teeth. Do not forget that only this brand has received a certificate from the American Dental Association confirming the safety of products.
An interesting feature of CS Medica is that only this model is ionic. The work uses the principle of changing the charge of the tooth surface from positive to negative and vice versa.At first, the device effectively attracts plaque and plaque, after which it provides better penetration of fluoride ions. The advantages of such brushes can also be attributed to the accelerated recovery of acidity and increased resistance to caries. It is important to remember that such devices are not recommended for use by smokers and wearers of braces.

3. Functional
Comparison of modes and technical features of each brushAs a rule, electric toothbrushes work only in 1-2 modes. A pleasant exception was B.Well, in which, in addition to two speeds, you can also choose the gum massage option. This solution is suitable for families where the device is used by several people at once with different sensitivities and oral conditions. All models have a vibration timer that turns on every 30 seconds. This is a signal that it is time to change the cleaning area. The built-in pressure sensor will signal if the pressure on the teeth is too strong. The total duration of cleaning should not exceed 2 minutes, so after this time the device also notifies the owner with vibration.
Only Xiaomi supports smartphone connection.This is a very interesting feature that allows you to have maximum control over the process of oral care. Thanks to it, you can quickly switch between modes, get additional information and track statistics. Another feature of the model is an NFC tag for determining the time of use of the nozzles. It reads the information with each brushing and changes color to red after 180 uses of the toothbrush.
Name | Modes |
Oral-B Pro 500 CrossAction | 1: standard cleansing |
Philips Sonicare CleanCare+ HX3292/44 | 1: daily cleaning |
Xiaomi Mi Electric Toothbrush | 2: standard and easy cleaning |

4. Design and equipment
Can the brush be used straight out of the box?Philips and Oral bi have a minimal package - each box contains only the toothbrush itself, a cable and a charging station. Only CS Medica and B.Well come with 2 replacement heads. This is very convenient, because it will be possible for a long time not to worry about finding and buying new brushes. Also, additional nozzles are perfect for all family members to use the device. The only caveat is that in appearance they almost do not differ from each other. Buyers are advised to keep products in different places or make bright marks on them so as not to confuse anything.
As for design and ergonomics, let's take a closer look at each model. Philips looks the most stylish due to the elongated nozzle, comfortable and durable handle, as well as a successful combination of colors. Xiaomi remained true to the classic design: white, no unnecessary details, absolute minimalism. The slender CS Medica toothbrush fits well in the hand thanks to its slimmest handle. And the metallized inserts on the case look great. Oral bi and B.Well cannot boast of original design: these are classic models with round nozzles, a combination of white and blue colors.

5. Popularity and reviews
Which model is most often searched for by Internet users?All devices that we used for comparison have the "Customers' Choice" insignia on Yandex.Market. This gives confidence that the price matches the quality. The absolute record for popularity was broken by the Oral bi company: the brush is the leader in terms of the number of reviews and requests in Yandex statistics. In last place is B.Well, but users like this model, its demand is gradually growing.
Let's study customer reviews in more detail. Almost everyone confirms the advantages already listed above: high-quality cleaning, high autonomy and convenient control for certain models. It is much more interesting to look at the list of shortcomings noted by users.For example, in the reviews they write that Philips gets very hot during charging, and it also has a weak and dim indicator. The Oral-B handle has been found uncomfortable by many buyers. Among the minuses, they also mention expensive nozzles and the fact that the metal base gets wet. In the future, this can lead to rust and damage to the device.
The compactness of the CS Medica has become both an advantage and a disadvantage. For adults, the cleaning surface seems small. And the cap is removed together with the nozzle, sometimes it is problematic to pull it out. Xiaomi has freezes while charging or connecting to the application. As for B.Well, it is good for everyone, in addition to strong noise during operation and a short wire.

7. Comparison results
Which toothbrush has become the leader of the comparison?The smart model from Xiaomi won the rating. Due to its manufacturability, corporate design and high quality, the device received excellent scores in all categories. The second place according to the results of the comparison was taken by the CS Medica toothbrush. The average price, comfortable handle, ionic cleaning technology and a powerful battery have made the model a favorite of buyers. Philips wins in terms of design and manufacturability, but in most cases, other devices turned out to be stronger competitors.
For all its popularity, Oral-B failed to win the title of the best, and according to some criteria, it frankly loses. Nevertheless, for acquaintance with electric brushes, the model is perfect. Its weaknesses are limited functionality and poor autonomy. B.Well was often an underdog, she managed to win one nomination only due to the low price. Another advantage of the model is as many as three modes. This is the best solution for those who want to try an electric toothbrush without overpaying and appreciate all its features.
