Philips Sonicare Essence (2016) vs Colgate ProClinical (2016)

The Colgate ProClinical 250+, however, while a reasonable product for $59, doesn't stack up against its competitors quite as well. If you're considering Electric Toothbrushes in the $65 range, you might want to check out some better options.
