Oral-B iO Series 6 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush with Visible Pressure Sensor to Protect Gums, 2 Minute Timer, 5 Cleaning Settings, 1 Replacement Toothbrush Head, and Travel Case, Black

I have used the Oral B power toothbrushes for years. From my experience and what I read at credible sources, it can be more effective than a "manual" toothbrush. My old one was okay but old and got this new one, IO6. Oral B makes it difficult to choose a model, they have too many models at different prices with subtle differences in features ("bells and whistles") and claimed effectiveness, different models claiming different percentage improvements over manual brushes. I'm sure many of the features on the more expensive models are liked or needed by some people but I found what I needed at this model's level and price.What ever toothbrush you use, every dentist and oral surgeon will tell you: Use the "gentle" or "soft" brushes. That, and a light touch, to avoid damaging gums (worse than cavities!), and spend enough time going over the teeth, then it's all good.So this model has dramatically newer technology than my previous one. The old one seems rattly in comparison, this new one hums smoothly at a very high frequency, so should get bristles into more crannies and gaps, all else equal. The IO models are highly rated at Consumer Reports, but they are in good company with several other brands and models. I chose this one as solid and effective and with the features I want and will use at a not-cheap but reasonable price, and I love it. I always spend over 2-minutes brushing, soft/gentle pressure, move slowly so the bristles get into nooks and crannies, and cover all angles, and my dentist and dental hygienist always remark how clean and healthy things look. Slow and gentle, with soft/gentle brushes, and this new, higher-frequency technology is great.Only drawback is that the handle is visually attractive but smooth and (when brushing, everything wet and sometimes foamy), it gets slippery and slide out of my grip, they should add a bulge at both ends of the handle. I tried to convey that to the manufacturer but they only have contact points for user questions that are answered by drones with boilerplate for common questions, it was too much for them to forward my inputs to their marketing or design departments. Oh well... But while the handle is better for looks (yawn) than using it, it remains an excellent product and very good for dental care, so 5-stars.

Love this toothbrush! Quality brush and cleans teeth well! I will recommend it to my friends and family.

I love this electric toothbrush, i love the app that comes with it. I now brush longer and more thorough, you can see on the app, which areas you are brushing and the sensitivity, i love the light that you can choose from, and it turns red if you are using too much pressure. I like the small screen and a greeting smiley that comes with it. The price is great, i see no reason why buy the higher version, it does literally the same thing, The cons are the battery doesnt last long, i charged it all the way and on the third day already it was at almost 80% and i use twice daily. The brush itself is very very very light, compared to my other electric toothbrush from hE, which is heavy and premium and the battery lasts almost a month, but unfortunately the new brush was not shipped for like 2 weeks, so i decided id buy a brand new toothbrush. The charging cable is attached all in one piece, and not a usb cable. It comes with a white traveling case which is super nice. I would have preferred in black, but thats not a bigy.

It’s not cheap, but I am glad I purchased. Use with the Bluetooth app and it’s like playing a game you want to get better at.There are 3 levels of pressure. Not enough, just right, too much. There is a light on the handle that indicates the pressure you are using. The app dings you for too much pressure. And it shows you a graphic for the areas that need more attention. Then it scores you based on 100%. There are goals you can set for yourself.Bottom line, I like trying to improve my score, and it has a better spin than the cheaper model I had been using for years. It’s like upgrading your car. Everything about it is better. It’s quieter, has more functions etc.At first I didn’t like that it’s longer. Harder to fit in my medicine cab. But then I realized it helps to not use too much pressure having a longer handle. And the battery lasts longer. There is an indicator telling you how much battery life is left. So you don’t get surprised and have it die when using. You know when to charge. It’s fast charging too. And tells you when it’s 100%.

I wanted to go for a premium brush so I went with the Oral-B iO series. This series 6 has really made my teeth feel clean, while putting really little effort in doing so compared to the really cheap electric brushes and regular brushes I have used in the past. The bristles are not harsh and the pressure sensor is a very nice feature. And of course the timer is great too, but most electric brushes have that. There is also an interactive app for the brushing process if you care to optimize you brushing I guess, but honestly is probably just a "gimmicky" feature.After doing research I came to the conclusion that of all the Oral-B iO series electric toothbrushes, the series 6 is the most worth it for the money. All the brushes essentially work the same, with the differences being that the 7,8,9 have magnetic charging stands while the 6 has a pin-like charging stand (which is equally as simple to use) and that the 8 and 9 have a few more negligible modes and colored screens rather than the black and white screen on the 6 and 7 (equally as bright). The 9 is the only one with a charging case, but its a proprietary connection. There is also a difference in battery life, but they all last for multiple weeks so it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things to me personally .In conclusion, the Oral-B iO series 6 is a really good electric tooth brush that does indeed improve your brushing, and is also the best value in my opinion among the iO series. If there was one thing I wish it had was a charging case with a normal port connection like usb A or C (preferably).
