Textured grips that are present on other models are not here. It gives a much cleaner look and doesn’t give small areas for grime and residual toothpaste to build up upon.

The iO Series are the only ones from Oral-B to be quieter, all other brushes produce the same noise. ReplyI’m 40 and my parents never taught me how to brush my teeth or encouraged me to do so. My teeth are also very wonky so I clearly should have had braces as a teenager but was never given the option. Oral-B's BEST EVER CLEAN with REVOLUTIONARY iO TECHNOLOGY for a professional clean feeling & gentle brushing experience

It’s not impossible, but not all that common for a brush to fail during this time. Oral-B has had years to perfect the design and manufacturing to limit such.If memory serves me correctly, the pouch case will hold the handle, heads (in their own case) and the charger. All modes are designed to be used for 2 minutes. The only exception is tongue clean which is set for 30 seconds. That said, having the option of Sensitive mode is nice, for those times your teeth and gums might be feeling a bit more tender and you want something a little less intense. For the vast majority, it won’t pose an issue, but it is something to be aware of particularly if you have a small mouth. 4 different bristle configurations are available for the iO Series. It’s quieter than the Oral-B brushes you might be used to What sets them apart are additional features. Examples include more brushing modes, in-handle display and ‘smart’ (Bluetooth) technology. These are nice-to-have, but not critical.

In terms of quality and efficiency, is it similar ? What are the major differences ? Is it a big difference of price for the heads ? Reply From an overall space point of view, I don’t believe there is really a great deal in it between the case for the Series 7 and 9. I haven’t done the maths.

Thanks Jon. Here’s what Oral-B (Procter & Gamble) told me in response to my question about the Costco Genius model. Sure, when you go from a manual brush to power - it upgrades your clean. But when you go from electric brushing to iO it goes beyond the ordinary to become a truly extraordinary experience that you will see, hear and feel differently.

The higher the model number the more features and the more expensive it is. The range topping model is the iO Series 10. The complete iO Series iO3 through to iO10 from left to right They are similar in more ways than they are different The table below shows which iO model has which mode. Should you want to learn more about each, do read our Oral-B cleaning modes explained article. Cleaning Modes Our in-house team has a couple that they feel are really beneficial: a pressure sensor, timer and pacer. The iO6 has them. A smarter pressure sensor than mostI’m having Oral B Triumph professional care 5000 for the last 10 years, I guess. Has changed battery 4 times. In general it still provides good performance, but I don’t have other experience 🙂 Now I’m thinking switch it to iO 7. Will I notice any difference? What do you think Electric Teeth? Reply The Series 5 comes with a refill holder that holds and protects 2 brush heads. The iO6 does not come with this. With a good oral care routine, like you are on the path to achieving, you shouldn’t need to use mouthwash at all. It can help at times you might not brush, so after lunch for example. In some instances, it may be recommended by dental professionals to be used as an extra tool to help keep the mouth clean, but it isn’t essential. Overall, brush head reminders are a feature that are nice-to-have, but not critical. If you’re organized enough you can simply use a recurring calendar reminder. The fact that they are included on each iO model means you don’t need to factor this feature too heavily into your choice of iO brush models. Battery life should be similar, but premium models are inconsistent
