Bestselling sonic electric toothbrush now £160 off in last minute Christmas deal
by Prudence Wade · Wales OnlineThere’s still time to order some last-minute gifts and have them arrive in time for Christmas, especially at Amazon. Not only can you take advantage of rapid delivery, but Santa needn’t break the bank either as there are still some massive savings to be made.
A fantastic option is this powerful electric toothbrush available with £160 off: the Philips Sonicare 7900 Series Electric Toothbrush at £89.99 down from £249.99 (price correct at the time of writing). The toothbrush costs £128.99 direct through Phillips, while Boots has it at the sale price of £89.99.
Promising to remove up to seven times more plaque than a manual brush, this sonic option stands to be a massive upgrade for anyone who hasn’t yet made the switch to electric. Both Philips and Amazon customers say you’ll get whiter teeth inside the first week of use, with the sonic vibrations and interdental foaming making light work of tooth-damaging grime and stubborn stains.

A few extra handy features include a built-in timer that buzzes at 30 second intervals, four brushing modes to tailor it to your needs, a light that activates when you’re applying too much pressure, and a USB charging travel case for maximum convenience, even if you’re out camping. It comes in three colours - black, pink and white - all currently reduced the same amount.
It’s a popular choice at Amazon, with 4.4 out of 5 stars averaged from 5,469 customer ratings so far. “The biggest game changer was the built-in timer function,” said one five-star review. “Yes timers are a readily available thing but to have it built in to the brush itself really allows you to get on with brushing for the right amount of time every time.”
“You really notice the results,” said another review. “Battery last me about 5 days and it comes with a handy case for charging and holding the brush and a spare head.”
Another said it’s been helpful for keeping mouth-related illness at bay: “With early signs of gum disease, I followed the advice from my dentist and switched to a Sonicare. The different settings are great to have, the head of the brush is slimmer and has softer bristles compared to my old electric toothbrush. The Sonicare cleans much better and definitely not as harsh, as I have had no gum bleeds since using this.”
However, one customer griped: "Haven’t used yet as no UK plug? Disappointed for the price." Another added: "Not as good as some of the previous “generations”."
If you’re happy to opt for something on the cheaper end of the spectrum, the Sonisk Pulse at Robert Dyas is just £10.39 (down from £12.99). For another big name in the electric toothbrush world, check out the Oral-B Pro 3 3500 Electric Toothbrush for £35 at Currys (reduced from £99.99).
