How does the AquaSonic Elite compare with Oral-B and Philips Sonicare brushes?

It matches them on sonic speed and mode count at a lower tier of the market, but it lacks their pressure sensors, app connectivity and position tracking. Replacement heads are also easier to find for the big two brands.

Does it have a pressure sensor?

No. The Elite has no pressure feedback, so you have to judge force yourself, especially on the highest setting.

How long does the battery last on a charge?

The lithium-ion battery is rated for about 30 days of typical use. Actual life depends on which mode you use and how long you brush.

What comes in the box?

The brush handle, ProFlex brush heads and a hard-shell travel case. A charger is included for the rechargeable battery.

Yes. The handle is described as waterproof with a soft-touch grip, so it can be rinsed under the tap.

Is it good for sensitive teeth?

It has multiple modes, so you can drop to a gentler setting. If you have gum recession or sensitivity, a brush with a pressure sensor is the safer pick.

About the Elite Ultra-Whitening Power Toothbrush

The AquaSonic Elite is a sonic electric toothbrush with a waterproof, soft-touch handle. Its motor vibrates up to 50,000 times per minute. It has 5 brushing modes, including a Deep Clean mode that targets stains and leaves teeth feeling smoother.

A built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery charges on a wireless base and lasts 30 days or more on a single charge. A smart vibration timer signals every 30 seconds and shuts the brush off automatically after 2 minutes. The design is ergonomic.

The toothbrush has been accepted by the American Dental Association (ADA) Council on Scientific Affairs for removing plaque, preventing gingivitis and improving gum health. It comes with 8 ProFlex brush heads, engineered by DuPont. Each head lasts 3 to 4 months, for about 2.5 years of use in total. A hard shell travel case holds the handle and 2 brush heads.
