I’ve tried dozens of electric toothbrushes in my time, and for some reason, I kept going back to old-fashioned manual options. That perspective changed, though, when the 9900 Prestige from Philips Sonicare arrived last year.

It’s been over a year that I’ve been using this one, and now it feels weird whenever I try a manual brush, or even sample other electric options. Nothing compares. It hums smoothly and it cleans my teeth faster and more thoroughly than anything else I’ve tried. When I replace the brush head, the old one is never warped and withered, as with manual brushes or subpar electric options.

One of my absolutely favorite features is the vegan leather charging and carrying case. This makes it so easy to bring when I’m traveling, and I don’t have to worry about it losing juice. Even with twice- or thrice-daily brushings, I’m only charging it every two to three weeks anyway.; it’s a preference thing for him, but I find that my A3 bristles stay sturdy for the full three months of rotation, while his get a bit more warped by the end of their run.

One thing I can do without is the app that Philips built for this brush. Look, if you absolutely want to gamify your brushing progress, go for it. But I found it a little “extra” and silly that this app existed to tell me where to brush next, and to give feedback on something I’ve been doing successfully for 36 years. It feels like an app that wants to report back on how well you poured a glass of water or put on your socks.
