The 'Ferrari' of electric toothbrushes is a rare $26 (nearly 50% off) for a few hours
The No. 1 bestseller, which happens to be our favorite mouth scrubber, includes eight brush heads and boasts 95,000+ perfect ratings.
You know the story: You go in for a dental checkup, lie back in the chair and pretend you’re on a beach in the Caribbean. The hygienist pokes around while you focus on the crash of the waves and the salty air on your skin. Then, in walks the dentist, who takes one look inside your mouth and lets out a big sigh. Beach fantasy over. Isn't it time you stopped letting history repeat itself? Get yourself a better toothbrush, like the AquaSonic Black Series Ultra-Whitening Toothbrush, a bestselling, premium electric scrubber that Yahoo's own Senior Style Writer Rebecca Carhart named the "best overall toothbrush" after putting 11 to the test. Oh, and not to bury the lede, but it's also 40% off for the next few hours at Amazon. That's enough to make us say "cheese!"

This plaque hunter boasts a motor that delivers 40,000 vibrations per minute and can remove up to 10 times more buildup than an ordinary toothbrush.
Why is it a good deal? 💰
While this lightning deal is alive (it'll disappear once it's 100% claimed), you can score what we've dubbed the Ferrari of toothbrushes for a sweet 48% off, saving you a cool $24. Be sure to apply the on-page code to snag the full discount, which drops the price to within a dollar of its all-time low.
Why do I need this? 🤔
If your sensitive mouth makes eating ice cream a struggle, the AquaSonic has you covered. Thanks to its four brush modes, you can set it for sensitivity, deep cleaning, gum massage and even whitening. It also has a built-in 30-second interval timer and a two-minute auto-shutoff to help you develop a better brushing routine.
"I have been using it for a few months now and love it because its charge time lasts up to a month, so I don’t have to keep the charging pad out on my bathroom vanity all the time," says Carhart. "The toothbrush is equipped with a powerful motor that provides 40,000 vibrations per minute, which leaves my mouth feeling extra clean every time I use it.
"I also love that it has a two-minute timer to ensure that I meet the recommended brush time, and it also pauses every 30 seconds so I know when it’s time to move to a different section to give all my teeth the same amount of attention. There are four cleaning modes to choose from: clean, soft, whitening and massage, and it comes with a whopping eight brush heads, so it will be quite a while before I need to buy replacements." (Speaking of brush heads, each one should last you about three months, so eight should last you around two years!)
The included travel case makes it easy to bring the AquaSonic along on your next adventure. And of course, clean, well-taken-care-of teeth can also cut down on cavities, which cost a pretty penny to fix at the dentist.
What reviewers say 💬
Carhart isn't the only convert; more than 95,000 Amazon shoppers give the AquaSonic five out of five stars.
Pros 👍
"I've had this toothbrush for two years now, and all I can say is it’s the best toothbrush I’ve ever used," shared one impressed shopper. "The battery life is honestly so crazy, it lasts me like 4–5 months from each charge, and I use it 2–3 times a day. After two years, I’ve finally used all 8 tips, and the fact that it has lasted me this long and I still don’t need a new one is mind-blowing."
"This is a Ferrari," wrote a fellow fan. "If you know how to use a sonic toothbrush, this one is for you... Leaves the teeth really clean."
One buyer even made this bold claim: "Personally, I prefer this toothbrush over my Oral-B. They both cleaned well, but there were a few factors that made me choose this one that have nothing to do with the effectiveness of the brushes. First of all, this unit looks 100% better, even the charger, and it came with a carrying case. I love that it has multiple cleaning functions. What won me over was the way the timer works. ... My Oral-B would do a very quick vibration that tells me to move to the next section... With the Aquasonic, the vibrations were more noticeable."
Cons 👎
"If you've never used a sonic toothbrush before, this feels weird ... especially if you have sensory issues," one sensitive user wrote in their "cons", before adding: "Holy mackerel, I didn't know I needed this. My teeth and mouth have NEVER felt so clean. Feels kinda good once you get used to it."
"I love the stages you can elect to have during the brushing process. The massaging selection is really nice and not seen on many of the electric toothbrushes. But I do not like the small brush heads. It makes me feel I need to brush twice as long to get good results," noted a final shopper.

A bestselling, editor-approved toothbrush on mega markdown? There's something to smile about.
And when it comes to flossing...
This Amazon favorite was named "best overall" water flosser by Contributing Writer Rachel Hager. She says it's "compact enough for small spaces, yet with its seven different flosser tips and 360-degree tip rotation, it's versatile enough to meet all your family's flossing needs.
"In addition to three color-coded classic jet tips (making it possible for different people to use the tool without sharing a tip), this model includes a toothbrush tip, a plaque seeker tip, an orthodontic tip and a pik pocket tip for anyone who has periodontal pockets. Our testers thought this made it a top-notch toothbrush/water flosser combo, one that's also ideal for anyone with braces or sensitive teeth and gums.
"The Waterpik water flosser's one big drawback, according to our testers? It's noisy. So don't expect your significant other or baby to sleep through your flossing routine."
