I’ve been thinking about upgrading my electric toothbrush since my current crappy one is basically on death’s door after a couple years of use. Is there like a toothbrush equivalent of a Toyota Hilux I should know about?

Used Oral-B for a few years. Then Sonicare for a few years. Preferred the former simply because the brush seemed more ergonomically shaped.
And now I use neither and brush manually again!
Reason: for me the most important factor in having a mouth that feels clean is clearing the spaces between the teeth. And electric toothbrushes don’t do this any more effectively than manual ones. A dental jet does, and I used one for years (Waterpik) and loved it. Then I discovered that even a dental jet is not as effective as something else: those little interdental brushes.
So in the end I dumped all the gadgets and just use these two manual tools.
This. Sadly the spaces between my teeth are way too tight for even the finest of interdental brushes, but floss works a treat for me.
