Best electric toothbrush deals for August 2025, from Oral-B to Philips

Best electric toothbrush deals for August 2025, from Oral-B to Philips

Independent3 days ago
Whether you need a simple, budget-friendly electric toothbrush or a premium model that comes with an app and digital display, there's a strong chance that you'll be able to find one on sale. These gadgets are often discounted, including brushes from popular brands such as Oral-B and Philips.
However, not every discount is as good as it appears. We monitor electric toothbrush prices throughout the year and have noticed that some top-sellers often fluctuate. Electric toothbrushes are often listed with a 'one-off' discount of 50 per cent or more, but in reality, these deals repeat every month. With this in mind, we'll make sure to tell you if a deal is actually worth snapping up and when it's worth holding off.
Below, you'll find the best electric toothbrush deals at Amazon, Boots, Currys and more, with discounts on models from our favourite tried-and-tested brands. Our testers have put many of these models through their paces, so you can be sure that you're getting a genuine deal on a toothbrush that actually works.
Why you can trust us to find the best electric toothbrush deals
Our team of deals experts track the prices of electric toothbrushes across the year, so they know how to spot a good offer from a bad one. We cover major sales events, including Black Friday and Amazon Prime Day, so we are well-versed in finding the best savings on top and trending products. Plus, we'll only recommend electric toothbrushes from brands that have been tried and tested by our experts.
You can save more than half price when you buy the Oral-B iO3 bundle at Amazon. As well as a travel case, you get five replacement heads, which should be enough to keep you going for more than a year. The bundle hasn't dropped to less than £100 before, so now's a good time to snap it up – especially as it's rare to find a first-time discount on electric toothbrushes. We haven't tested this exact version, but Oral-B's iO models regularly feature in our round-up of the best electric toothbrushes, so it's a range that we trust.
Right now, you can save £20 on the Ordo Sonic + at Boots and Amazon. Hold tight if you miss out on this discount, though, as the toothbrush is likely to drop in price again when Black Friday lands in the autumn. In his review, our tech writer, Steve Hogarty, praised its 'powerful clean' and W-shaped bristle that 'performs well around hard-to-reach areas'. There are four brushing modes, a timer and a silicone centre on the toothbrush head that helps to polish teeth.
Sonicare toothbrushes are expensive, with premium models costing more than £500. Thanks to this Boots deal, you can save £180 on the 7100, which sits on the more affordable end of the range. Our tech writer, Steve, had high praise for the sonic cleaning technology. In his review, he said that it produces 'some genuinely dentist-fresh results'. If you notice it creep back up in price, it's worth waiting, as it's likely to get another discount soon.
If you're heading off on holiday soon and want a sleek, compact alternative to your electric toothbrush, you'll want to check out this deal on the Philips one. The slim brush handle houses a single triple-A battery, and it delivers 'a solid 13,000 micro-vibrations', writes our tech reviewer, Steve. We often see deals on the toothbrush, and right now, you can get it for less than £20 at Superdrug.
Our best mid-range electric toothbrush currently has more than 50 per cent off at Amazon. This puts it at around £80 less than its price listed at the online retailer for the rest of the year. Our tech reviewer, Steve, said the iO6 'delivers the same cleaning performance' as premium iO models and praised the five cleaning modes that 'provide plenty of versatility for your particular oral care needs'. It's on a limited-time offer, but don't worry if you miss out, as it's likely to be on offer again.
What to look for when buying an electric toothbrush
All of our best electric toothbrushes have strong cleaning power and are effective at removing plaque buildup. Some brushes, including those in the Oral-B iO range, have oscillating brush heads, so they rotate around your teeth to clean them. Others, such as those in the Philips sonicare range, are 'sonic,' vibrating thousands of times per minute.
You'll find that some models come with pressure sensors, which beep or light up if you're applying too much pressure while brushing. Many also have two-minute timers that help you stick to the recommended brushing time.
These are the most important basic features, and you shouldn't buy a toothbrush without them. However, there are many more features on offer, from magnetic chargers to apps. We list all of these features and more in our reviews, so you can be sure that you're getting all the extras that you need.

Korean equity surge risks stuttering without stronger reform push: Raychaudhuri

HONG KONG, August 4 (Reuters) - The Korean equity market, which went from being among the worst performers in Asia last year to the best regional performer in 2025, stumbled over the past week. The rally has fundamental support, but it could sputter if expected shareholder-friendly reforms don't materialize. The well-known 'Korea discount' afflicting the country's stocks has narrowed considerably this year. Korean equities typically trade at a sharp valuation discount to Asian stocks excluding Japan, with the exception of a brief period of AI-fuelled euphoria in 2023. But this discount fell from around 40% at the peak of political upheaval last year to under 30% in mid-July, thanks largely to expectations of shareholder-friendly reforms and greater clarity around the shape of the new government. However, Korean equities hit a hurdle in late July. The market corrected 4% in the last two trading days of the month after President Lee's government raised the peak corporate tax rate from 24% to 25% and the securities transaction tax from 0.15% to 0.20%. The announcement of a Korea-U.S. trade deal removed some uncertainties, but ambiguities about execution remain, and, overall, disappointment regarding the tax tweak overshadowed the trade truce relief. Korean equity performance in 2025 has been driven not just by political shifts but by several fundamental factors in a few large sectors. Financials, which constitute 13% of Korea's equity market, appreciated by 57% in the year through July 25, benefitting from investors' preference for high dividend yields and expectations of increased loan growth after a stream of rate cuts by the Bank of Korea. Meanwhile, industrials, representing 17% of Korea's market, have been lifted 54% over that period, thanks to the global defence and infrastructure spending boom. Technology, the country's largest sector at almost 30% of the market, has seen share prices rise by 45% in this time. The flagship technology stocks Samsung and SK Hynix are up 24% and 55%, respectively, as they continue to be propelled by AI optimism and the success of some specific new products, most notably Hynix's High Bandwidth Memory chip, an essential input to advanced AI servers and Nvidia's GPUs. Beyond these sector-specific catalysts, one of the most significant trends spurring investor enthusiasm for Korea this year has been the expectation of regulatory changes designed to protect minority shareholders. Korea's 'Value Up' program, initiated in February 2024 by the country's previous government led by former President Yoon Suk Yeol, began to tackle key issues plaguing Korean corporate governance, but many investors believe it did not go far enough. The unaddressed concerns include the prevalence of cross-holding structures that give founding families disproportionate control over companies and, relatedly, companies' reluctance to distribute excess cash to shareholders. Former President Yoon's declaration of martial law in December 2024 and his subsequent impeachment led to presidential elections in June 2025, and the formation of a seemingly stable government under President Lee Jae Myung. Soon after, on July 3, the National Assembly passed, opens new tab a corporate governance reform bill, which, among other things, requires company directors to act in the best interest of shareholders, limits large shareholders' voting rights when appointing audit committee members, mandates that hybrid virtual shareholder meetings must be held by publicly traded firms above a certain size, and raises the required proportion of independent directors on boards from one-quarter to one-third. Even before these measures were taken, corporate behaviour was already changing in anticipation of government pressure. Korean dividend payouts have been rising since 2022, and so have buybacks, according to FactSet. Indeed, buybacks in the first half of 2025 are higher than in all of 2024. These positive changes may have helped spur the rush of foreign capital flows into the country's equity market since April. Foreign institutions sold a net $28 billion of Korean equities from August 2024 to April 2025, and bought back a net $6 billion over the next three months. The currency has also been supportive of inflows. The Korean won has appreciated 7% against the U.S. dollar in 2025, second only to the Taiwanese dollar in the Asian leaderboard. Valuations remain attractive in Korea's market despite the sharp rally. Korean equities trade at a forward price-to-earnings multiple of 12.3x, far lower than its Asian peers that have similar earnings growth profiles. Of course, Korea's PE ratio is based on an 18% earnings growth forecast in 2026, the FactSet consensus expectation, and some investors may be sceptical about this figure. But such scepticism seems unjustified, as Korea's consensus EPS forecasts have been rising since March, a period marked by significant geopolitical and economic uncertainties that are, in many cases, now being resolved. Can the Korean rally regain its momentum? While the market's response to the U.S.-Korea trade deal may not have been overly positive, the outcome – a 15% tariff for many Korean goods versus the 25% rate feared – removes a massive risk, given that 15% of Korean companies' aggregate revenue comes directly from the U.S., according to FactSet. Investors, however, would be well-advised to keep an eye on the country's reform calendar, as several governance-enhancing reforms are still not finalized, most notably a tax amendment to incentivize higher dividend payouts. Moving forward, the fate of the Korean equity rally could depend, to a large extent, on what happens in government.

MIT's Light-Only AI Chip Could Supercharge Electric Vehicles

Autoblog brings you car news; expert reviews and exciting pictures and video. Research and compare vehicles, too. Chevy's Toyota Tacoma contender is getting pricier, but 2025 models offer the same powertrain and more value. View post: 2026 Chevrolet Colorado Updates Are Coming—But Should You Buy the 2025 Instead? View post: Amazon Is Selling a 'Secure' $14 Car Phone Holder for 43% Off, and Shoppers Say It's 'By Far One of the Best' The only correct way to modify something as heinous as the XM is to lean into its absurdity. Imagine an EV that doesn't need a bulky cooling system for its brain. Imagine your car processing LiDAR data, high-res camera feeds, and driver monitoring in real time—without sipping a ton of juice from the battery. MIT's new light-only AI chip, which swaps electrons for photons, might just pull this off. This isn't a minor tweak in chip design. It's a potential industry earthquake. The chip runs on photons, meaning it processes data with light instead of electricity. Sounds like sci-fi, right? But the benefits are huge: 90 percent less power consumption, almost no heat generation, and computations that happen at, well, the speed of light. For EVs, which fight tooth and nail for every mile of range, this could be the difference between 300 miles and 350 miles on a single charge. Why This Matters for EVs Every modern EV has a digital nervous system that sucks energy. The AI stack — everything from lane-keeping assist to voice commands — relies on energy-hungry chips like NVIDIA's Drive platform. Even when the car's parked, these processors run diagnostics and software updates, quietly draining the battery. By providing your email address, you agree that it may be used pursuant to Arena Group's Privacy Policy. Swap those power-hogging silicon chips with something that barely sips energy? You free up power for the motor, heating, and air conditioning. Suddenly, EVs can be smarter and go further without strapping on a bigger, heavier battery pack. And it's not just about range. The photonic chip's speed could slash latency in autonomous driving. Maybe this is exactly what Tesla's Autopilot needs to work without killing people. Imagine your car spotting a cyclist darting across the road and responding faster than your reflexes. That's not marketing hype — that's rather some life-saving tech. The Autonomous Game-Changer Self-driving cars rely on billions of calculations per second. Traditional GPUs do the job, but they're power-hungry beasts that require liquid cooling and complex thermal management. A photonic AI chip can handle these calculations with barely any heat output, which means lighter systems, lower costs, and fewer points of failure.

Even if photonic chips start as co-processors — handling vision or sensor fusion — they'll free up traditional CPUs and GPUs to handle the rest with more breathing room. The Catch There's always a catch. These chips are still in the lab, and automotive-grade hardware certification isn't exactly speedy. Cars need chips that can survive scorching heat, freezing temperatures, and years of vibration. Expect a timeline closer to 2027 before you see a production EV using this tech. Still, the writing's on the wall. The next wave of EV innovation won't just be about battery chemistry or charging speed. It'll be about making the brains of the car just as efficient as its brawn. This MIT breakthrough is a reminder that the EV arms race is far from over. Today, it's all about range anxiety. Tomorrow, it will be about how fast your car's AI can think without stealing electrons from the wheels. About the Author Brian Iselin View Profile
