Black Friday electric toothbrush deals, from Oral-B to Foreo
Electric toothbrush deals can sometimes be misleading – as prices can fluctuate throughout the year, those massive price reductions may not be as impressive as they seem.
That said, here are a couple of genuinely good deals on brushes that Steve (one of our resident electric toothbrush testers) has tested at home.
Foreo issa 3: Was £179, now £85.92, Boots.com
If you have sensitive gums, consider swapping to the Foreo issa 3. Landing in our review of the best electric toothbrushes, the issa 3 features 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 sonic pulses also mean it’s kinder to gums.
Oral-B iO3: Was £160, now £59.99, Amazon.co.uk
You won’t find a more affordable toothbrush in Oral-B’s premium iO range. Another one that featured in our review of the best electric toothbrushes , it delivers the same great cleaning performance and quiet oscillating motor as the most expensive Oral-B brushes. Right now, it’s down to £60 at Amazon.

Why is it called Black Friday?
The first use of Black Friday dates back to the Fifties in Philadelphia, where the local police department coined the term to describe the huge traffic jams, overcrowded pavements and mobbed stores in the city on the day after Thanksgiving.
It wasn’t until the 1980s that the phrase caught on in the rest of America, and was used as a marketing ploy to promote the consumer event and encourage sales. It was then deployed as a reference to the financial status of stores, as they went from being “in the red” to “in the black” as profits increased.
It has since become one of the biggest shopping events in the calendar – not just in the United States, but also in the UK and other parts of the world.
While it was once just a one-day sale, it’s now evolved into a four-day bonanza, and in some cases, it spans the entire month of November, with deals on tech, beauty, home appliances, fashion, toys and much more.
