Pros

  • A Brush for Every Budget: The range runs from the AAA-powered $15.99 Nova and two-mode $34.99 Curve to the five-mode Pro 2.0 with pressure sensor, LED display and USB-C at $120.99.
  • Warranty That Grows With You: Every device carries a one-year warranty, extended to a limited lifetime warranty — covering up to two replacements — while its refill plan is active, with heads from $7 every 12 weeks.
  • Professional Input Built In: More than 40,000 dental professionals co-develop and recommend the range, and the Pro 2.0 holds 4.7 stars across 1,093 on-site reviews.

Cons

  • For hygiene reasons BURST doesn't accept returns on any product, opened or sealed, so the lower-priced Curve or Nova is a sensible way to get to know the brand's feel before stepping up to the Pro.
  • Refill plans renew every 12 weeks until cancelled by 11:59 p.m. Pacific on the last day of the term, and cancelling returns the warranty to one year, so set the cadence you want under My Subscriptions from the start.

The Verdict

What sets BURST apart is a brush range shaped by dental professionals and priced well below the premium giants: BURST was founded in 2017 around a simple model — more than 40,000 dental professionals help develop and recommend its products — and the range now spans the Pro 2.0 sonic toothbrush with five modes, a pressure sensor, LED display and USB-C charging, the slim two-mode Curve, the battery-powered Nova, a Kids Sonic Toothbrush, adult and kids' water flossers and a UV brush sanitiser. On its own store the Pro 2.0 holds 4.7 stars across 1,093 reviews, and CNET counts just over 7,000 Amazon reviews at 4.5 for the earlier Pro Sonic. The Nova is IPX7 rated and runs on a single AAA battery, which makes it an easy travel brush, and the Kids Water Flosser offers three modes with a 150 mL tank. Prices start low: the Nova is $15.99, the Curve $34.99, the Kids Sonic Toothbrush $44.99, the Water Flosser $69.99 and the Pro 2.0 $120.99, with kids' bundles from $69.99 and Oral Health Probiotics at $39.99. Heads are $7 to $8 bought singly, and the Pro plan sends two heads for $14, so the running cost stays low. Refill plans deliver replacement heads from $7 every 12 weeks, and while a plan is active the device's one-year warranty becomes a limited lifetime warranty covering up to two replacements. US orders ship free over $50, and Canada is served, with subscription shipments at $7 plus duties. The reservations are worth knowing up front. BURST accepts no returns on any product, for hygiene reasons, so the first purchase is a commitment. Refill plans renew automatically every 12 weeks and must be cancelled before the term ends, and cancelling steps the warranty back to one year. There is no ADA Seal yet, and Wirecutter's testers prefer Philips Sonicare's entry model on value, while Trustpilot's small sample of 25 reviews centres on subscription management; BBB rates the company A+. Made for anyone who wants a capable sonic brush with professional input behind it without premium-brand pricing, and for families, with kids' brushes and flossers in the same range. An active refill plan lifts the warranty to limited lifetime, so start with the Nova or Curve, set your plan cadence at checkout, and shop now.

Sonic Toothbrushes, Water Flossers and Refill Plans

BURST is operated by BURST.USA Inc., 440 N Barranca Ave #4658, Covina, California, and was co-founded in 2017 by Hamish Khayat and Brittany Stewart. Its products are co-developed and recommended by more than 40,000 dental professionals, who take part as independent ambassadors. The range covers the Pro 2.0, Curve, Nova and Kids sonic toothbrushes, adult and kids' water flossers, a UV toothbrush sanitiser, floss, probiotics and replacement heads, shipped to the United States and Canada.

Current prices include the Nova Sonic Toothbrush at $15.99, the Curve at $34.99 (Platinum Silver $49.99), the Kids Sonic Toothbrush at $44.99, the Kids Water Flosser at $49.99, the Water Flosser at $69.99, the UV Toothbrush Sanitizer at $34.99 and the Pro 2.0 Sonic Toothbrush at $120.99. The Kids Mighty Mouth Bundle is $99.99 (was $127.95) and the Kids Bright Start Bundle $69.99 (was $82.96). Replacement heads are $7 to $8, with the Pro refill plan at $14 for two heads.

The Pro 2.0 offers Whitening, Clean, Massage, Sensitive and Freshen modes, a pressure sensor, LED display and USB-C charging with PBT nylon bristles; the Nova runs on a AAA battery at 18,000 vibrations per minute and is IPX7 rated; the Kids Water Flosser has three modes and a 150 mL tank. US orders over $50 ship free, subscription shipments carry a small fee from $2.09, and Canadian subscription shipments are $7 plus duties and tax. Refill plans renew every 12 weeks and can be managed from My Subscriptions or by email.

BURST does not accept returns on any product for hygiene reasons. Every device has a one-year warranty, which becomes a limited lifetime warranty while its refill plan is active, covering up to two no-charge replacements; cancelling the plan converts it back to one year. Independently, BBB rates BURST Oral Care A+ with 27 complaints over three years, Trustpilot shows 1.8 across 25 reviews centred on subscriptions, and Wirecutter's toothbrush guide favours the Philips Sonicare 4100 on value, while the brand's own store shows 4.7 across 1,093 Pro 2.0 reviews. It suits households that want an affordable sonic brush and kids' options from one brand; since returns aren't accepted, start with the Nova or Curve, add a refill plan for the longer warranty, and shop now.

About this review

How this was written, who paid for what, and how the verdict stays independent.

Is this burst review sponsored?

No. burst did not pay for this write-up, see it before publication, or have any say in the verdict. If we earn anything it is a commission after you buy, and it comes out of the merchant’s margin rather than your price.

How was the burst assessed?

By using it and by checking the claims made about it against what it actually does. Where our time with something has been limited, the review says so rather than implying more testing than happened.

What else have you reviewed in Health & Wellness?

Everything in Health & Wellness sits in the review library, where you can filter by budget and sort by rating, price or how recently it landed.

Do you update reviews after publishing?

Yes — when a product changes, when a price moves for good, or when we get something wrong. Corrections are made on the piece itself with a note saying what changed.
