With just days to go until Black Friday, electric toothbrushes are seeing some massive price cuts. I’ve been covering the sale for years, chasing discounts on top-rated brushes from Oral-B and Philips, as well cheap replacement brush heads, teeth-whitening kits and water flossers.

The event doesn’t officially start until 29 November, but Black Friday deals arrive earlier and earlier every year. Many retailers are already dropping prices, including Very, Argos, Boots and John Lewis, so, we’re already into the swing of things when it comes to great discounts.

My main advice when shopping for electric toothbrush deals? Watch out for those misleading offers. You’ll often see deep discounts of 50 per cent or more on the most popular brushes, but those seemingly huge savings repeat like clockwork throughout the year.

As IndyBest’s long-suffering toothbrush expert (hey, we exist), I track the prices of electric toothbrushes year-round, so I can filter out the fake bargains and bring you only the best electric toothbrush deals every Black Friday. Keep scrolling for the top offers.

Best Black Friday electric toothbrush deals

  • Suri sustainable electric toothbrush: Was £75, now £56.25, Amazon.co.uk
  • Oral-B pro 3 electric toothbrush: Was £100, now £35, Amazon.co.uk

Oral-B pro 3 electric toothbrush: Was £100, now £35, Amazon.co.uk

(Amazon)

I rated the Oral-B Pro 3 the best electric toothbrush in my round-up, thanks to its low price and effective cleaning power. The brush is noisier than the premium iO range but cleans just as well. “This budget-friendly electric toothbrush might lack the bells and whistles of its pricier iO siblings, but the oscillating head still delivers a reliably thorough clean.”

Suri sustainable electric toothbrush: Was £75, now £56.25, Amazon.co.uk

(Amazon)

Here’s a huge saving on one of the best electric toothbrushes of 2024. Unlike other brushes, the Suri’s is designed to be reused, repaired and recycled, using plant-based heads and bristles, and a slim aluminium body, rather than plastic. Green credentials aside, it’s a smart-looking brush with a stylish, pencil-thin travel case, and it’s cheaper than ever at Amazon right now.

Foreo issa 3: Was £179, now £85.92, Boots.com

(Foreo)

I dubbed this model the best for sensitive gums, in my review of the best electric toothbrushes. The issa 3 comes with 16 intensity settings – you dial in the one that suits you and can increase the intensity as you get more comfortable with the medical-grade, soft-silicone brush head and polymer bristles. The larger size and unusual shape of the brush head means I didn’t get a classic deep-clean sensation during testing, but the polymer material in combination with the sonic pulses means I haven’t yet found a brush that’s kinder to gums.

Spotlight Oral Care sonic pro: Was £149.95, now £82.47, Spotlightoralcare.com

(Spotlight Oral Care)

Spotlight Oral Care toothbrushes are made using dentist-developed technology, and come with four speed settings that provide up to 50,000 reps per minute. The micro point tongue cleaner ensures excellent oral hygiene, and one of the best parts about this powerful toothbrush is the battery life – which can last up to 70 days. With 35 per cent off, this set is complete with a travel case and three replacement heads, along with a magnetic click charger and charging cable.

Philips Sonicare diamondclean 9000: Was £319.99, now £129.99, Amazon.co.uk

This toothbrush is designed with polishing bristles, which Philips claims remove up to 100 per cent more stains, for visibly whiter teeth in just three days. Brimming with tech, it has built-in smart sensors that let you know when you’re brushing too hard and can even send you a progress report in the Sonicare app, so you can see how your brushing has improved over time. It also has four brushing modes and three intensity settings.

Oral-B iO8 electric toothbrush: Was £450, now £149.99, Amazon.co.uk

The Oral-B iO8 electric toothbrush uses “artificial intelligence” to learn your brushing style and guides you while you brush, to make sure you don’t miss a spot. The six smart modes personalise your brushing, while the interactive colour display reminds you when the head needs replacing – if that wasn’t enough, it will also give you a cheery smile for a job well done.

Oral-B iO3: Was £160, now £59.99, Amazon.co.uk

(Oral-B)

Another star in my best electric toothbrush guide, the Oral-B iO3 is the cheapest brush in Oral-B’s premium iO range. That means you get the same great cleaning performance and quiet oscillating motor as the most expensive Oral-B brushes, but with fewer brushing modes, a shorter battery life, no LED screen and no gimmicky smart features. It’s down to £60 at Amazon.

Philips Sonicare replacement brush heads, pack of four: Was £54, now £26.99, Amazon.co.uk

Philips Sonicare ProResults replacement heads

Here’s a 44 per cent saving on a four-pack of Philips Sonicare toothbrush heads at Amazon, which works out at £6.75 a pop. These are compatible with all Philips Sonicare click-on handles, but the C3 head is specifically designed to have four times as much surface contact with your teeth, to better tackle plaque build-up.

The Little Eco Company Philips Sonicare replacement heads: Was £7.49, now £4.79, Amazon.co.uk

(The Little Eco Company)

I haven’t personally tested these third-party brush heads but, at just 80p each, they’re a fraction of the price of the official Philips Sonicare heads. The pack of six features plastic-free packaging, and The Little Eco Company offers a freepost recycling service, too. Customer reviews note the heads work and fit perfectly but are less premium feeling than the £7 heads from Philips. I’m stocking up with this Black Friday deal, if only to have a cheap supply of backup replacements in the bathroom cabinet.

Philips sonicare prestige 9900: Was £549.99, now £199.99, Amazon.co.uk

(Philips)

This is Philips’s most advanced brush and the one I use every day. In my review of the Philips Sonicare 9900 prestige, I wrote: “This brush can also hit a chart-topping 62,000 vibrations per minute – more than any other brush – delivering a noticeably more intense clean versus cheaper brushes.”

Ordo sonic + electric toothbrush: Was £59.99, now £39.99, Boots.com

(Ordo)

“The brush head also has a cross in the middle of the bristles, made from silicone, which helps whiten and polish the teeth as you brush,” noted the review of this model. I was similarly impressed by the stain-busting capabilities of this toothbrush, so much so that it landed a spot in my review of the best electric toothbrushes. Right now, you can save £20 at Boots.

When is Black Friday 2024 in the UK?

Black Friday falls on the Friday after Thanksgiving in the US. This year, that means the sale kicks off on Friday 29 November.

While it began as a one-day event, Black Friday is now more of a shopping season than a single day of deals. Most retailers will continue to offer deals through the weekend and conclude their sale on Cyber Monday (2 December).
