Rank #5 in Best Electric Toothbrushes 2026: 10 Ranked, From £8.49 to £119
Aquasonic Black Series Electric Toothbrush with 8 Heads
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Aquasonic Black Series Ultra is a rechargeable electric toothbrush that sells with a wireless charging base, eight DuPont brush heads and a travel case for £39.95. It sits at number five in this guide, and it is here on the strength of its ratings rather than its motor claim: 4.3 out of 5 from 131,615 Amazon ratings, with 65% of those ratings five-star and 7% one-star.
Its listing quotes 40,000 vibrations per minute. That is the VPM unit the Philips brushes in this guide do not use — they quote bristle movements per minute — so the two numbers cannot be set against each other, and the Black Series figure is not 55% less cleaning than the Philips one. The listing also files the brush under 'Ultrasonic Toothbrushes', where it ranks number 3 in that category, even though the only power number it gives is vibrations per minute. Everything below is taken from the Amazon listing — price, specifications, ratings and reviews — and none of it comes from testing we have carried out.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I bought mine in december 2024. So far faultless.i charge about every 2 months; much better than other brands. Its good value for money. Yes its a bit fiddly to change functions but so are similar brands. A good , value for money, product.”
Verified purchase“i've only used this toothbrush twice, but that's enough time to know that it's the best toothbrush that I've ever used. It's very ergonomic and does a great job at deep cleaning. I like the way that it takes a pause after 30 seconds to let you know to move onto the next quadrant of your mouth. The stylish case is another major benefit on top of that the extra heads means that you'll be sorted for the next few months. Definitely worth the money and much better than more expensive, bigger brands.”
