The Breakdown
4.5
The Oclean X Ultra S delivers everything you’d expect from a premium electric toothbrush—and a little more. The combination of excellent battery life, real-time feedback, customizable settings, and a slick design sets it apart.
When we talk about electric toothbrushes, two names dominate the conversation: Philips and Oral-B. These brands have had the market wrapped up for years. But in recent times, a wave of new players has emerged, offering fresh ideas and smarter tech. One of those brands? Oclean. Founded back in 2017, Oclean might still be a relatively new contender, but its product lineup—ranging from electric toothbrushes to water flossers and UV sanitizers—has been turning heads. What caught my attention, though, was the Oclean X Ultra S, a sleek, AI-powered toothbrush promising not only an impressive clean but also real-time advice tailored to how you brush.
I’ve spent the past month putting the Oclean X Ultra S through its paces. Here’s everything you need to know.
Price & Availability
The Oclean X Ultra S comes in at 129 Euros in the EU and $129.99 in the US. You’ll find it available directly through Oclean’s website as well as major retailers like Amazon and Selfridges. It’s offered in black or green—mine was the black version, and I must say, it looked sharp straight out of the box.
First Impressions: Unboxing & Setup
The packaging is compact but thoughtful. Inside, you’ll find the main toothbrush handle, three different brush heads (Ultra Clean, Ultra Gum, Ultra Whitening), a wireless charger, wall mount, and a handy travel case.
I started off by fully charging the brush, which took just a couple of hours. Afterward, setting up was a breeze. The toothbrush pairs with Oclean’s app via Wi-Fi—a process so seamless, it barely took a few minutes.
Interestingly, the app also asks you a few tailored questions to recommend which brush head suits your dental habits. I started with the Ultra Clean head, but the app helped fine-tune the experience. More on that in a bit.
Sleek Design, Packed Features
The first thing you’ll notice about the Oclean X Ultra S is its minimalist yet stylish design. Measuring 13.8cm x 8.8cm x 22.8cm, it doesn’t feel bulky or awkward to hold. Front and center, there’s a bright, responsive touchscreen—a rare find on most electric brushes—which sits above the power button.
A small Wi-Fi icon lights up when the brush is connected, and there’s even an LED ring at the base that glows softly during use. Powered by the brand’s Maglev motor, the Oclean X Ultra S boasts 84,000 movements per minute and claims up to a staggering 40 days of battery life.
Navigating through settings is intuitive—you simply swipe across the screen to switch modes. Whether it’s Sunrise, Sunset, Whitening, Gumcare, or Unlimited Clean, each mode adjusts the brushing intensity and duration to suit your needs.
The App: Worth Downloading?
I’ll admit, I’m not usually one to download yet another app. For the first two weeks, I avoided the Oclean Care+ app altogether. But curiosity won, and honestly, I’m glad it did.
The app setup is straightforward: you fill in some basics—age, brushing habits, any dental concerns. It even dives deeper, asking if your teeth are sensitive, whether you’ve had braces, and your lifestyle choices (yes, it wants to know about your coffee and alcohol intake).
What impressed me was how well the app tailored its advice. It analyzed my brushing habits and showed me exactly where I needed to improve. I discovered I was brushing with too much force and overdoing the movements—a classic mistake with electric brushes. The app didn’t just track how long I brushed; it also broke down coverage, pressure levels, gum health, and brushing trends.
Everything is neatly organized into three sections: Health, Device, and Me. And the health reports? Genuinely insightful.
Performance: More Than Just A Clean Feel
Switching from a manual toothbrush after my old Philips gave out, I immediately felt the difference. The Oclean X Ultra S delivered an incredibly thorough clean, getting into every nook without irritating my gums. Even on higher intensity settings, it felt smooth and gentle—no uncomfortable vibrations or soreness.
The brushing experience is enhanced by thoughtful touches. The touchscreen lets you easily flip between modes, and the countdown timer, coupled with a subtle buzz every 30 seconds, helps you stay on track without overthinking.
One quirky feature? The brush occasionally speaks! At first, the robotic voice caught me off guard—especially when it told me I was brushing too fast—but after a while, it felt like having a personal coach keeping me in check.
That said, the AI occasionally selects longer brushing cycles unexpectedly, which can be mildly annoying if you’re in a hurry. Still, it’s clear the AI is genuinely trying to optimize your routine.
Battery Life: Seriously Impressive
Here’s where the Oclean X Ultra S truly shines. I can’t count how many times I’ve forgotten to charge my old brushes. Not a problem here—the battery lasted weeks on a single charge. I took it on two separate trips without needing to pack the charger, which is a massive win.
Final Verdict: Should You Buy It?
In short, the Oclean X Ultra S delivers everything you’d expect from a premium electric toothbrush—and a little more. The combination of excellent battery life, real-time feedback, customizable settings, and a slick design sets it apart.
If you’re looking for a well-rounded alternative to the big players like Oral-B and Philips, this brush is a standout. It’s competitively priced, feature-rich, and genuinely makes brushing more effective—and dare I say, enjoyable.
For me, it’s a keeper. I won’t be switching back anytime soon.
