We had an older version of the electric toothbrush and felt we needed an upgrade. This product is worth every single cent. It has many different settings and tells you if you have brushed your teeth long enough. It leaves your teeth feeling like silk. Would highly recommend getting yourself one. You will not be disappointed
Best Electric Toothbrush
I have always used Philips Sonicare, and out of the blue, I thought I should try Oral B as my dentist told me my teeth have plague built up more before I change to electric toothbrush. I’m SO glad that I make the switch. The is the best electric toothbrush I have ever owned in comparison to the top of the range Philips Sonicare. My teeth feel so clean because the toothbrush won’t stop when pressure is deemed a little too much like Sonicare, it flashes red to alert you rather than stop all together. I LOVE this toothbrush and am a total convert now.
Cool brush but clean is too soft for me
I love the sleek-state-of-the-art design ed display, magnetic charge in 3 hours. And how quiet it is. I would prefer a rubber grip at the back. What I don’t like is brush heads different to other Oral B brushes. They’re more expensive than regular brush heads, I also actually prefer the shape of the standard oral b brush. For me it doesn’t feel like it cleans as good as Genius X, allegedly it does clean as well but, probably because it’s softer clean, it feels less for me, I do like a thorough brush on a harder side, and Genius x on daily clean mode seems to give me a stronger one than IO8 on intense mode. So ultimately it comes down to cleaning not design, that’s why I don’t see the value of this toothbrush for me. But if someone likes a softer cleaning, then it would be ok. Regretably it’s not for me, I would love this design with regular oral b brusheads and with pulsations like genius x instead of micro vibrations which is softer.
Amazing toothbrush but different brush heads from other Oral B electric toothbrushes
Really excellent toothbrush, even Bluetooth connection to help you brush better and remind you to change brush head. Charging much better than earlier model with magnetic clamp so no ‘slots’.
Only issue it has different brush heads from other Oral B electric so all my spare brush heads for previous model useless.
Great toothbrush
This was an upgrade for me from the Oral B Genius to iO9. Very happy with this new product, my teeth feel super clean and works more quietly, which is nice.
I love my toothbrush, my toothbrush loves me
Previously I had a “standard ” oral b electronic brush. It did a great job, basic on or off but it cleaned my teeth….or so I thought.
Decided on a low mood day to treat myself, to look after myself. Bought this heavy working machine of a creation.
Even after the first use, I felt my teeth where cleaner than they have ever been at home. 2 minutes and I felt totally clean, more than a full 2 sets on my old brush, 4 minutes.
This brush has different settings depending in the preferred style of finish your after. Daily Clean, Sensitive, Gum Care, Intense Clean, Whitening, Super Sensitive. Feels like a menu at a dentist but all at your hands control.
And you do honestly feel its doing the job you set it too. I go for whitening majority of the time and already over 2 weeks ish, I see a difference. No change in toothpaste, no change in amount brushing, this is doing a superior job. I enjoy brushing, it isn’t the chore you must do as you wake up or before you can sleep. It’s something I enjoy to then check the results end of the week.
Feels its loosening some long stuck on plaque too (no dentist for a while due to the….virus).
Another strange but sign on the times, Bluetooth connectivity to your phone via a app.
I can see what areas I am brushing, be shown if I’ve done a zone enough (no individual tooth detection this generation but who knows in a few years) . It’ll show me if I’ve improved my technique via timers. I feel this would be highly valuable to children learning or even those with different mental levels, it helps but it shows rather than tell.
This is a huge step for me in brushing. Another level up for any self care routine. Might but a bit costly to most(me included) but I see it as a investment in ME. I deserve better health wherever I can obtain it. I think you do too dear reader, you deserve to look after yourself too.
Fantastic but overpriced
I do love this toothbrush. The different settings (see video for reference) are amazing and it’s a lot quieter than any other electric toothbrush I’ve owned. I wouldn’t pay the full price however but managed to get this on an offer. The normal retail price seems ridiculous for a toothbrush! I’ve only used this twice so can’t say much for battery life or how it is over time but at the moment I love it! I can see it would be quite good for kids too, maybe on the gentle/sensitive setting, as the iPhone app shows you where you have and haven’t brushed on a moving graphic until it comes up that you have cleaned all areas thoroughly. This was quite exciting for me, even as an adult, to watch and also brush for the full 2 minutes as it times you as well. It comes with a 2 pin charger, travel bag, toothbrush head holder (for two toothbrush heads) and then the actual toothbrush handle and head so would make a nice gift set! I would recommend this but try and get it on an offer as it’s stupidly expensive otherwise.
5.0 out of 5 stars Top produc
Bought io6 and now io8. Big difference. Teeth feel like new every morning and evening now!
Fantastic toothbrush, but I bought mine when it was something like 67% off – no way would I pay full price. Having said that it really is a fantastic toothbrush, ignore the phone app gimmick.
Wow wow wow, my goodness never has my teeth felt so fresh and clean.better than dental hygienist service. Buy one you will not be sorry worth every penny.
Yes, the price is high and I’ll admit that for the amount paid, I’m not wowed by this toothbrush. I’m glad I changed from my old Philips one, but I honestly think I could have benefitted just as much from an older oral-b model.
I’ll start with the good:
– really cleans teeth well. This was hugely noticeable from the first brush. For me, the rotating heads clean much better than the pulsing heads of another brand.
– it charges really quickly. Just a few hours and it’s fully charged
– the different settings are handy. I like to switch between mainly daily care, whitening and gum care, so I feel like I get a good all-round clean
– being able to monitor which parts of the mouth have been cleaned well and which needs more work on is handy (using the app). Saying that, I only used this feature the first few times. I don’t want to be staring at my phone each time I brush my teeth.
– the pressure lights are clear so it’s easy to see when I’m brushing too gently or too hard.
However, there are bad points I can’t ignore:
– it’s so loud! Even the sensitive setting is loud, but the intense one is something else.
– the charge only lasts a week. I know that’s not terrible, but I’m used to having 3 weeks’ charge with older brushes so I’m not impressed.
– it might just be me, but I find it so dribbly! I’ve never had this issue before with any brush, but towards the end of the 2 minutes it’s just dripping! Even with a change of heads it still does the same and it’s driving me batty.
– the brush heads are difficult to clean. I detach the head and run it under water after ever brush, but it doesn’t fully clean where there’s a little gap towards the top.
– brush heads are crazily expensive. I know it’s the same for most brushes, but these really are pricey.
Overall, this is still a great toothbrush and I’ve noticed my teeth look much better after using this, hence the 4 stars still. However, a toothbrush this price should be near-perfect and this just isn’t. I’ll keep using it till the day it dies (which I hope is a long way away), but I’ll be less tempted by one with all the bells and whistles in the future.
Amazing clea
Works brilliant that gives a good clean. Works with the app too which is fab for tracking how you clean your teeth. Would never go back to an older version . Looks great and stylish
Very good quality
Excellent quality worth the money and transformed my teeth and cleaned my teeth best eve
Great tooth brush. Doesn't hold its charge
Definitely notice a big difference using this tooth brush compared to the cheaper electric oral b toothbrush. Does a fantastic job of cleaning my teeth. The Bluetooth connectivity is great. It’s a much harder brush than the cheaper oral b toothbrush which is fine imo but the battery only lasts about 6 days if you are lucky. I brush twice a day for about 2 and a half minutes. Fortunatly charges in about 3hrs
Really works well – I wasn’t going to bother using the app but my partner encouraged me to and that’s actually been really helpful for highlighting the areas I might need to focus on more. Expensive but well worth it. I feel it’s going to save me money at the hygienist!!
Brillia
This is a fabulous toothbrush. Teeth feel clean, kind on receding gums and love the bluetooth app where you can check how you clean all areas of the mouth and teeth
Good design improveme
I bought this to replace one of the older generation Oral B brushes. The biggest improvement I can see is their new larger and longer bristle brush head which does a better job cleaning and it seems more robust to last longer than their smaller heads. However, I am not convinced the Ai technology of these brushes are too that they claim. Also the brush heads are so much more expensive than the older ones. I will see how I get on but generally better designed but am not sure if the extra cost is justified.
I bought this after having extensive treatment on my teeth. I have to say my teeth do feel really clean. Battery life is ok, but my problem is the 2 pin plug. Why? Seems very old fashion to me. Took my brush with me on hols to Spain, fully charged, run out on day 9, but maybe I am naive, but thought the 2 pin charger would fit the plugs in Spain, it didn’t so had to use manually for the rest of my hols. Why don’t they do a USB charging system. Would make sense. I bought this last year in the Amazon sale, couldn’t have afforded it otherwise. App is easy to use.
Unbelieveable
I had been using a standard oral b toothbrush for the last year and a half before using this. The difference is night and day. The clean from this brush is amazing. My teeth feel polished and my mouth super fresh. The app is just okay… but I bought this not intending to use it. The screen displays ur charge so that you never run out of battery. The charge on the io 8 is not as good as my cheaper oral b however being able to see the charge makes this not an issue. The io head is also far better than any other I have used.
Overall an expensive purchase but an invetment worth making in my opinion.
Great toothbrush!
It’s a great little toothbrush. I haven’t connected to Bluetooth yet though. I also didn’t receive a magnetic pouch!
4.0 out of 5 stars Good toothbrush, poor battery
Toothbrush gives a lovely clean and has helpful and clever functions however the battery life is very poor and needs regular charging every 5-7 days.
Great toothbrush
Love this brush, the app is good but I don’t use it alot. I do like the vibrate every 30 seconds feature letting you know to move on to the next quarter of your mouth. Battery doesn’t last as long as I’d like but still love it.
I have always used cheaply made electric toothbrushes all my life. When my last toothbrush died, I decided to pay a little bit more and get a decent electric toothbrush this time. After a lengthy research, I decided to buy this one and this model. I’m glad i did that. Because this is a fantastic device. Now every time I brush my teeth, I get that same polished/cleaned feeling/results that I get after visiting my dentist.
If you catch it at a discounted price like I did, you should definitely give it a go.
I like how light it is compared to my previous oral b electric toothbrush
Im really dissapointed considering the cost of this, that within 4/5 months the battery dies very quickly even when not using the Bluetooth and using once a day. Im fed up of this happening so I am contacting oral B directly as I am unable to return to the seller at this stage. Id say its NOT worth the money. Im always very honest in a review but Im struggling to see how or why this is worth the money
I am so so happy I bought this toothbrush, I think it must be the best thing I have ever bought for myself, it does everything and you know when it needs a quick recharge, I love the app keeping track of my brushing and showing me the coverage as I brush my teeth. The magnetic charging is super fast. The different brushing modes are a delight. I bought the violet one and I just love it. If you are serious about looking after your teeth then buy it.
It is a new galaxy, not just a new level
If your teeth health is important to you – just buy it.
After the first brush, you feel like never before.
This is a dentist-level cleaning, every single time.
In a few weeks of daily use, there will be a massive improvement in your teeth’ colour.
No negatives from me – only positives, and the battery last 2+ weeks. Priceless!
Not been a fan of Oral B in the past – Toothbrushes I’ve had don’t have much battery life and don’t last long at all (give them a year or so before you have to charge them after every brush!) preferred Sonicare toothbrushes for a long time.
This one is the complete opposite. Long battery life, great options of intensity, and an all round great clean feeling after each brush.
My only niggle is I always disconnect the brush and rinse the main unit and the inside of the brush connection as the seal isn’t as solid as other brushes, so you avoid build up in the unit.
As a lover of gadgets, this appealed enormously to me, when I needed to replace my Sonicare toothbrush.
I did quite a bit of research to help me chose which particular model would suit my needs, before taking the plunge, reading reviews and watching YouTube videos etc.
I am delighted with the rapid, magnetic charger, which was a big part of my decision to chose this particular brush (my previous brush, a Sonicare, took absolutely hours to charge!).
After a sightly concerning recent trip to the dental hygienist, I realised I needed to take better care of my gums…. hence a golden opportunity for a new gadget! I was glad to find this at Amazon’s price, although still expensive, I would not have paid the full, crazy RRP, however good the reviews! I was impressed to see 84% of reviews were in fact 5*. Great to buy with confidence. I can now appreciate for myself why there are so many excellent reviews.
After only 3 days, I’m finding myself motivated to clean my teeth! One very important objective achieved! Otherwise, I find it a chore! Anything which induces me to thoroughly clean my teeth and gums is a good investment.
Very easy to download the Oral B app and connect the toothbrush via Bluetooth, (to my Samsung Galaxy S21).
I’d thought it was only the IO 9 and 10 which allowed real-time tracking of teeth cleaning, but IO 8 does this too. (I realised I hadn’t done an initial ‘linked’ clean for the pattern of my cleaning to show on the app, when I’d looked, but couldn’t find it. I thought I’d made a mistake, when reading reviews about this version). Very happy to say, this is part of the set-up, and it’s fairly accurate in knowing where I was actually brushing at the time. Where I have part of a back tooth missing, broken, it said I wasn’t quite as thorough cleaning there. Happy with a 97% score. I can work on improving this over time. Am impressed with the information available to me, which will, if I monitor it, guide me to better gum health. And then I can focus on having whiter teeth as my next goal.
I must admit, I really like the customisable colours (more colour choices via the app I like the purple) of the pressure ring. I like being taught when I get the pressure right, not just be told when I press too hard. This was another element of my choice of this brush.
Also, yes, it cost a few s extra to buy the violet version, but I don’t anticipate investing in another new toothbrush for years, so why not buy the one in a favourite colour to start with).
I’m happy with the fabric travel case, rather than a hard or recharging one, as I have another toothbrush for travel, so didn’t want to pay more for something I didn’t need in a later (an even more expensive) model.
I chose this particular version as it had all I need, and no more. Yes, shame it had only one head and a sensitive one as well would have been a nice addition. However, using the sensitive setting, (tried the very sensitive setting, but this wasn’t necessary), the regular toothbrush is fine. I bought the bundle, and then some extra brushes on offer in black, (matching violet would be a nice option), so I now have a couple of years worth of spares). Oh yes, and a pack of 12 Oral B toothpaste, which tastes good, on offer too, so I’m completely set up for a very long time. I’m looking forward to my next hygienist appt in 3 months, to see if she notices any improvement. Meanwhile, I’m looking forward to my next brushing tonight. I’ll probably only look at the app maybe every few days, with the guided session each weekend, when I’ve more time to ‘play’. Great coloured info on the little screen on the handle – progress circle and mode. Quite like seeing the smiley face (yes, I know, a bit sad, but true) as a confirmation I’ve done a satisfactory job.
Happy I’ve a new gadget to help me look after my teeth and gums…. hope it helps me stay as motivated!
Update: almost 3 months later I’m still nearly a committed to twice daily brushing. It still pleases me to get a smile on the toothbrush as a reward for 2 mins plus brushing. Hygienist noticed a great improvement, since last appt with her 3 months ago. Happy with that.
Great toothbrush, just one but…
Excellent toothbrush- very efficient, leaves teeth sparkling clean, much quieter than previous models. My one issue is, you can only charge it in “shavers only” plug if you’re lucky to have it in your bathroom. Took it to Europe, couldn’t plug a charger anywhere, had to buy another toothbrush :/
An expensive upgrade.
I bought this as an upgrade to my oral b 9000 genius toothbrush that I had been using for years. It was work out the battery was shot so I decided to upgrade.
This toothbrush is very expensive at full retail. Almost 500. It’s NOT worth that at all.
Some would argue it’s not worth 150 which is what I paid for it.
I was happy with it for that price but I wouldn’t have paid anymore for i
Doesn't seem to be any better than the old "Pro" series but very good never the less
The battery life and charging is better than the former “Pro” series but it’s difficult to see if the cleaning action is better or not. Also, the cleaning heads have a longer life which is a plus especially as the heads are more expensive to buy.
Best toothbrush I've ever owned.
Having used Oral-B brushes for years I initially thought this was just an updated Oral-B at massive expense. At the present price I thought it was worth a go & reluctantly ordered one. Absolutely delighted, worth every penny. Better than the originals in almost every way. Go for it, you won’t be disappointed. I feel Oral-B don’t get the message across properly with their present advertising.
Excellent, but expensive
An excellent piece of technology which can turn brushing your teeth into a challenge for those who need motivation. It does rarely slip out of my hand due to its smoothness. Bluetooth connectivity is good but has some lag. Battery life could be longer and its super expensive. Having said all that its still one of the best electric toothbrushes out there, so if you can afford it then go get one!
Great toothbrush
I got this as an upgrade from the oral b 9000 as that stopped working. At first uts works different to the old one but i have to say once i got used to it, it seems to work better an the app to show you how you brushing is cool. But in all fairness i only used the app to check it out not something i would really use. The display is something different an can change the light colour to suit you.
I like that at the end it shows you with a face if you have brushed well or not.
Defo worth the buy if you want a good thorough clean to keep your pearly whites white
The only gripe i have is i think the oral b 9000.had a better battery life i will charge this once a week
I am writing my opinion about this product after having had a Phillips Sonicare electric toothbrush for about 5 years, and I have decided to upgrade (as it was difficult to clean the distal surfaces of my molars).
Pros:
– very easy to use, straightforward
– as expected, last gen technology that offers you a superior clean
– simple app to track your brushing
– quiet device
– good indicator of pressure
Cons (oh boy, here they come):
– shorter handle than what I was used with before, about 2inches (/4-5cm) difference, which for me is an inconvenience
– annoying use of app, makes you stay glued to your phone while brushing and checking how you’re doing + the sensors are not 100% accurate, so for example when I was brushing my lower right side was appearing as brushing my lower left side, which of course gives your brushing off track as there are 20 secs or so, allocated for each sextant of your mouth, so you may end resulting in not having all your teeth evenly cleaned
– the handle’s grip is horrible, at least for the white version, 1st time using it I had a terrible time as I had toothpaste all over the sink and on my phone…trying to catch the handle, that was slidding, while also looking at my brushing
– about the extra stuff that you can add, I agree with the tongue cleaning and flossing, however the mouthwash should be used at a different time than brushing (this comes from a dental practitioner), and this is because the toothpaste has already a high amount of fluoride and by using a mouthwash you are washing that away, as most mouthwashes have a lower concentration + they should have advised to not rinse after you finish your brushing routine
– many people have complained about the battery, and I agree, it is not great, my other electric toothbrush had a life of about 2-3 weeks, while with the iO8 it has about 7 days (2x/day)
– AND THE MAGNETIC CHARGER!! it is less stable than the regular one I had before… I tried placing it on the carpet, as I was doing this usually, and the toothbrush would not stay at all! The charger is so light and the magnet is very weak; so the only way to charge it is on a flat surface (kitchen worktop)
– I was so used before to having a timed brushing, and that the electric toothbrush stops by itself. It took me a few tries until I managed to see how long I actually need, as 2 mins 30 secs were not enough anymore, and I struggled to press the off button while having dribbling toothpaste all over my hand. But it makes sense, as everyone is different and you can’t actually put a timer for everyone, giving you the freedom to make the brushing for how long you want it to be *this is more of a neutral point*
Overall, I am happy with the product, the app works, the rotating head does an amazing job, even for the molars, so you will obtain a superior clean.
I am still adjusting with this product, definitely need to brace myself for my teeth workout in the morning which lasts about 3 minutes now; but seeing my medals pile up is something…
Honestly, I was expecting more from a product that is worth 450 RRP, thus I am happy that I spent only 140 on it, would not have paid the full price ever!!!
If you are concerned about having an excellent clean and do not mind investing in this product, then it is the right choice for you, however do not expect miracles, it does the job but there is room for improvement.
Best toothbrush
This has changed the way I brush my teeth, it looks so smart, classy and even expensive. At first my gums were a little sensitive so I used the sensitive setting until they got used to it. After using the toothbrush it feels like you have been to see the hygienist. The different light settings are a nice touch and I’m happy with the battery, however I read a review before purchasing that said the battery lasts 1 month. This isn’t true but it does last a decent amount of time. It also charges very quickly. Overall, very happy I purchased this toothbrush. It can be quite pricey but there’s always deals and price reductions and I’m sure it will last a long time.
A great toothbrush
This toothbrush is great easy to hold and use. Seems to hold its charge very well. I had it a month before I had to recharge it. I like the quirky little faces when you have finished brushing. I was a bit unsure when I bought it but I really really like it.
Great produc
I use it once a day with traditional toothbrush and the result are amazing. Teeth look cleaner and my mouth feels fresher. It has multiple settings on it which I find nice, for example it’s got a delicate Flossing setting for focusing on areas close to the gum so you don’t damage it but also it has a very fast and strong setting for extreme cleaning/Whitening. Battery last for ages and charges quickly. Heads can be costly but they do last long do I guess it’s worth it in the long run. If you care about your teeth or had problems with your teeth I strongly recommend this product.
Solid performer - possibly tries to be too cleve
I’ve been using this for a couple of months now as a replacement for a manual brush, after repeated requests from my dental hygienist. Overall it makes you mouth feel much cleaner, and there is a noticeable reduction in plaque in the harder to reach areas.
Annoyingly it doesn’t come with a 3-pin UK plug, so you will need an adapter if you want to charge from the mains (i.e. not a 2 pin socket in your bathroom if you have one). I’ve not bothered with the bluetooth or Oral-B app – who needs an app for brushing their teeth?!?
Battery life is good and generally if you brush twice a day for the recommended 2 minutes, it will last about a week between charges. Seemingly you can’t power it off completely – it ‘sleeps’ when you aren’t using it.
Love this toothbrush
I have now had the toothbrush for approximately 1 month and I can say that I totally love it. I had the Oral B Genius 9000 before and whilst that was a great toothbrush (had it for 3 years), this is definitely much better. I had my teeth whitened 4-5 years ago and lately I was thinking to have them done again as they were not looking as bright as they used to. After purchasing this toothbrush, I just feel my teeth so much cleaner and whiter. It is an expensive toothbrush but if you manage to find it on sale, it is definitely a great product and worth purchasing.
I have not connected it to my phone as I am not sure that’s something I would have time to track so that is not something I could talk about but I love the fact that it has a timer on it which indicates how long you should be brushing your teeth for.
The battery lasts for over two weeks (almost three) whilst using it at least twice daily.
It’s a little drooling
So I’ve have this brush for a few weeks now, and I have to say the clean feeling after brushing is great, and I prefer it to my older Phillips Diamond Clean.
However, as the head is toothbrush quite wide, every time you brush, you drool and not just a little. As such, the whole cleaning experience becomes rather messy.
The battery is ok, lasts about 1 week – probably about half othe time of my old diamond clean.
Good Toothbrush
The bluetooth and phone app (which lets you see where and how well you have brushed) is not that good, bluetooth started to drop connection after about a month or so which when brushing resets the timer.
Otherwise a good toothbrush with lots of modes (you can set a plan on the app i.e. whitening, but it will lock you out of the other modes until you reach the end of the plan or you cancel the plan).
I’m always sceptical about some of the product reviews but as a genuine customer of Amazon I would like to point out how amazing this brush is! My teeth have never felt so.fresh and shiny before I love all the settings in the eve I use the sensitive mode and gum clean..I also love the smily face at the end when you have had a thorough clean as you can see from the video if you don’t clean long enough the sad emoji appears. Definatly worth the Black Friday deal as I would have never have been able to afford one at 400..
So if your thinking of buying this do it its worth the extra I was previously using an electric braun but technology has come along way from when I bought IT …RECOMMEND
I have been using another manufacturers toothbrush and just wasn’t happy with it. Bought the Oral B one, my favourite colour. Took me a day to get used to it, very simple and easy to use App. Having not been able to go to the dentist due to the current restrictions I was desperate to see what it was like. The toothbrush is slightly bigger to the Oral B toothbrush I had years ago but I soon got used to it. Several different settings, including whitening. After a few days I can honestly say I can feel the difference on my teeth. I am not saying they are perfectly clean but hoping this will come after more use. I think using this and getting back to hopefully regular visits to the dentist will see an improvement to my teeth and gums. Would I recommend it? Yes they are expensive but it’s my teeth..so yes I am happy and would recommend it.
Best Toothbrush ever owned !!
I thought my previous toothbrush was fabulous but sadly after 3 years it died a death this one was I thought expensive but now I have it it’s worth every penny !! If you use the app it honestly feels like you’ve been to a hygienist appointment. Different settings for whitening – gums – tongue – floss etc !! But the toothbrush you won’t be disappointed !! All my family want one now!!
Great clean!
Only used it approx a week, but an excellent clean. Both myself and partner are using it with separate heads, although it only comes with one, had to buy another. I’ve been using the whitening setting, which is certainly doing the job well already. My partner has gum and teeth erosion problems, so used the extra sensitive setting, so far so good. The app is easy to use, although you need to have a good position for your phone, so you can see clearly the guided screen when brushing. I gave a 3 for easy to hold as it is rather large and I have tiny hands, hence difficult to grip while brushing for smaller hands.
Teeth feel really clea
Love the toothbrush ! I had read reviews with people saying it feels like you have seen a hygienist! They are correct , it really does . The app is gimmicky and surprisingly addictive to use and know you are 100% cleaning teeth well . The battery isn’t as long lasting as I expected and the price is high but the performance is grea
Recommended!
I have used a sonic toothbrush for a while but with this my teeth feel cleaner than they ever have, i am hoping it will also be helping gum hygiene. The settings are easy to toggle through, I like the timer and the Bluetooth/app was very easy to set up. The app shows you where you may be missing brushing certain areas of your teeth which is useful. It also charges quickly too. I’d recommend it.
Does what it says on the... box
Previously had a Sonic but the traditional brush head made getting into those tight areas tricky. After just two weeks with the Oral B iO8 and the round head brush the difference is frankly staggering. My teeth look like they have had a good old session with a hygienist. Really happy. Haven’t tried all the Bluetooth stuff so can’t comment on that, although I like the colour change to keep track of pressure for best results. Pricey? I don’t think so based on results! Only niggle is the battery recharge life – runs down pretty quick but the charge is also quick.
I immediately noticed the improved clean over my old Sonicare brush, which is good because I was unsure whether to buy another Sonicare or switch to this. I’ve used OralB electric brushes a decade ago and this model is much improved. The brush head now moves much faster so it has a vibrating effect like Sonicare. My teeth immediately felt “dentist clean” compared to the Sonicare.
I initially thought the pressure light would be annoying (blue for too light, green for good, red for too much pressure) but it’s actually very easy to keep it steady green and it alerts you when you need to ease off a little.
I also like the LCD screen, mainly because it shows brush time and if you glance it in the mirror is easy to see how long you’ve been brushing for.
The charger is also far superior to the Sonicare. The magnetic base holds the brush handle in place and doesn’t require any additional plastic inserts.
There are a few cons, some related to the brush, some to other things.
– The end of the brush shaft is quite wide so feels a bit odd when you’re going in to the back of your mouth. A bit of a mouthful I suppose.
– The brushing action is quite harsh initially. I had painful gums while I got used to it. The less aggressive settings are no less painful to begin with. Fine now, but initially not great.
– The brush heads are comically expensive.
– There is no travel case included as standard. Sonicare included a hard case that charged the brush directly from USB, for no extra cost. That was incredibly handy and I felt a travel case should have been bundled in at this price. With this you just get a fabric pouch and storage box for 2 heads. You have to take the full standard charging cable with you.
– The pricing practices across the iO range are absurd and should be illegal. The vast majority of people will not need anything more than the iO7. However at the time of purchase this was given some mad 400 price tag, while the iO8 was 200. Also with the iO7 having no colour options it is clearly a ploy to get people to buy the iO8, when the iO7 should be more like 150.
Overall an excellent clean. I’ve tried the Bluetooth functionality. It works well but in my opinion is a bit of a single use gimmick, unless you’re extremely observant of your tooth brushing practices.
All things aside, again I can’t knock the cleaning ability. However in hindsight I’d have chosen something else because I disagree with the dishonest and misleading pricing practices. A travel case should be included with all models and the iO7 should be priced at the real RRP (not some fantasy 400) to give people a choice of models and also to not allow them to be mislead into thinking they’re getting a huge bargain when the price drops to where it should be.
Feels weird at first but oh what a clea
Took a day or two to get used to the feel of brushing with this as the vibrations feel odd. Had been using an Oral B smart 9000 brush for years, but this is another level of clean. I find the app really handy and it identifies in real time where you are not brushing correctly. As it doesn’t come with a smart phone holder, be careful not to drop your phone in the sink while brushing. Really cute that it says “good morning” when you pick it up in the morning, and goodnight when you use it at night. Love it!
