AquaSonic Black Series Toothbrush (Full Review)
Dentist Tested & Reviewed
AquaSonic was founded in 2017 to provide superior at-home oral care through technology, innovation, and affordability.
Their product line includes their most popular black series electric toothbrush, vibe series electric toothbrush, aqua flosser, and kids electric toothbrush.
Also, it features state-of-the-art technology pumping out 40,000 vibrations/minute, which is not only ultra-powerful, it’s also industry-leading.
As an experienced dentist with years of experience, I’ve tested and evaluated 300+ dental products. I strive to find the best products for achieving excellent oral hygiene, so let’s take a closer look at the Aquasonic Black Series Electric Toothbrush from a dentist’s perspective.

An incredibly powerful 40,000 VPM motor delivers a complete and thoroughly clean - but the black series goes beyond just cleaning your teeth.
Use Whiten mode to dissolve surface stains towards the end of your brushing sessions. Massage mode delivers vibrating micro-bursts into gum tissue to improve circulation and tissue function. Whiter teeth and healthier gums mean a more beautiful smile.
Dentist Thoughts
AquaSonic offers a lot of value at a low price point.
Although it lacks a subscription brush head service, it includes eight DuPont-engineered brush heads and a travel-ready case.
The toothbrush is sleek and easy to grip due to its thick black satin handle. Also, it’s lightweight, ergonomic, and waterproof.
The four brushing modes are easy to toggle through, and you can’t miss the larger on/off button.
The brush head bristles have a significant density (total bristle amount) and anatomically curved bristles from tip to tip.
The overall brush head design is practical; however, the bristles lack feathering and are rigid.
Once you turn it off, you realize how powerful the motor is as it visibly whips the bristles.
Also, the bristle motions are easily visualized as you toggle between modes. Other toothbrushes offer multiple brushing modes; however, little effect is noted with the bristle movement.
Pros
Cons
Innovative Features
AquaSonic’s innovative features set it apart, with many electric toothbrushes available.
Along with its industry-leading 40k vibrations/minute electric toothbrush, eight DuPont replacement brush heads and a travel-ready case is included.
As a result, AquaSonic provides the most bang for your buck compared to other electric toothbrushes.
Key Features
- DuPont Brush Heads: Precision-engineered for a perfect fit, with eight heads included, lasting over 2.5 years with three-monthly replacements.
- Long-Lasting Battery: Features a lithium-ion battery lasting 30 days per charge, travel-friendly with a travel case included.
- High Vibrations: Delivers 40,000 vibrations per minute, leading in the industry. Clinically proven to reduce plaque 10x more than manual and 3x more than older electric toothbrushes.
- Four Brushing Modes: Offers options for every need - Clean for regular brushing, Soft for gentleness, Whiten for removing stains and polishing, and Massage for gum health.
Dentist Review
If you’re looking for a powerful toothbrush, look no further.
AquaSonic is highly effective at removing plaque around the gum line.
The four distinct modes are helpful, with some modes being more gentle than others. We preferred the soft mode as it offers more than enough power.
On the other hand, the clean mode could also be intense; it was too much for us to handle. The bristle curvature offers an effective clean around the gum line, and the tip easily slides between teeth.
We were pleased with the cleaning results but desired a tongue and cheek cleaner to finish the remaining bacteria.
My Experience & Expertise
Overall, this toothbrush checks just about all the boxes if you're in the market for a new toothbrush.
It features industry-leading power, a travel case, eight brush heads, a 30-day charge, and four distinct brushing modes. Bluetooth connectivity and a tongue cleaner would have been a nice perk; however, the stiff and rigid bristles pulled down the overall score.
We can’t understate one final note: how much product you receive for the price.
At a fraction of the cost, AquaSonic is holding its own against more prominent oral health care brands, including Oral-B and Philips.
