Deal of the day

Philips Sonicare 4100 Electric Toothbrush

There is a good reason this electric model made our list of best electric toothbrushes — it is both affordable and effective. The toothbrush has built-in safety measures to protect your teeth and gums and to help you get the ultimate cleaning. It automatically runs for two minutes, the dentist-recommended amount of time you should spend brushing, and if you apply too much pressure, the brush will vibrate (and emit a sound) to let you know you should ease up.

With only two intensity settings, it’s simple to use and perfect for someone not looking for something too high-tech (read: overly complicated). It has a slim, ergonomic handle, providing a comfortable grip. The toothbrush also comes with one of the brand’s Optimal Plaque Control brush heads and replacements are available in packs of three. One charge gives you up to two weeks of battery life, according to the brand, so you can travel with it and not need to juice it up mid-trip.

Right now, this toothbrush is on sale for 30 percent off its typical retail price of $50, bringing it down to less than $35.
