[@blackbke]

I've always liked Oral-B toothbrushes, they're good products. But the almost arbitrary 'tiers' are just ridiculous and clearly invented to try and lure people to more expensive models without that resulting in better brushed teeth. The technology behind all these models is the same - magnetic propulsion - however, the box covers on the cheaper models (6 and lower) don't mention that which is just plain misleading. Then from model 6 to 7 you get a color screen... ummm... OK, how useful! 16 Artificial Intelligence Zones with bluetooth app support? Seriously? I learned to brush my teeth when I was a kid, I am perfectly capable of doing so without any 'AI' until I get demented or something. Magnetic charger vs non-magnetic charger, who cares as long as it charges? Fast charging? Brush teeth, put it back in the charger, done, who needs fast charging? 3 different modes or 7 different modes? I need 1 mode: the one that cleans my teeth. I very much doubt there is any scientific evidence that any mode is more effective than the other (provided that the minimum required oscillation to effectively clean teeth is there). I wouldn't be surprised if a future model 11 would include an extra mode to improve brain activity, I mean: whatever sells right? To top it off Oral-B makes it very difficult (if not impossible) to get a clear list of differences between the models, increasing my suspicion they want you in the dark and lure you to the expensive models. In the end, model 3 is therefore a no-brainer and will clean your teeth as well as a model 10, as the reviewer said (he just didn't make it a rant as much as I just did, my apologies, marketing nonsense really brings out the crazy in me 😁 😋)

[@andreagreen1467]

I used to agree, but I have a child that needs help brushing (sensory issues, almost 10 years old). And I believe the io5 and up help a lot because of the tracking. Not sure how much of a difference the 9 and 10 with 16 zones would make but having zones at all is a big help. I've taught this child repeatedly how to brush but he struggles. For the average person, I agree that as long as you know how to properly brush, it's just marketing. But for a select few, the upgrades do help.

[@cezarstefanseghjucan]

Wrong, backward take designed for basic users who don't want peak mouth-cleaning performance and care. No one forces you to get anything above an iO3, but for the people who think of their cleaning as a life and death matter, the iO10 is the holy grail. In one's life, not everything has to be barebones functional and lack any kind of character.

When looked at their page, I noticed they don't wanna give me information. They just wanna shove their adspeech down my throat. Perhaps what you should expect ( its a toothbrush after all) , but still... I don't wanna reward that kind of communication. Goddamn cyberpunk dystopia, can't we go back to the ads and corporate communication of the steampunk retrofuture? Sure, they'd sell you radium toothpaste, but at least they'd proudly tell you WHAT they offer. These days, they have 20 animations with zero information beyond: "our most expensive product is the best on the market, look, we bought 10 people to tell you so! Sure , we have more, but good luck finding them on our site. Go to hell, advertising. Tell information to come back. On a more positive note, thanks a lot for this video!

[@sgtouring]

The amount of models and differences between them is just as bad as the iPhone! Oral B made this way more complicated than it needed to be. They could easily narrow this down to no more than 3-4 models and save us all the confusion as the differences between most of these are negligible. Thanks for making this video to clear up a lot of the confusion. Very thorough and ended my search fast.

[@ElectricTeeth]

Totally agree with you. Glad you found it helpful.

[@MayTheSchwartzBeWithYou]

To my recollection, there are only like 4 iPhone models per year-standard, Max (formerly Mini), Pro, and Pro max. So there are twice as many Oral-B iO models, which is definitely ridiculous.

[@cezarstefanseghjucan]

Wrong take. In your mindset, you could have 2-3 toothbrushes instead of this many, being of lesser performance and just as expensive as premium models. People are lazy, that is everything.

[@solarflare915]

they definitely took inspo from apple imo. some models even have the "s" like the Oral-B iO 5s. lol

😂 I only use 3 modes--Daily Clean, Sensitive, & Gum Care. I had to get the IO6 in order to get the Gum mode. I rarely get cavities, but my gums have given me grief, so I need all the help I can get for them. TMI, sorry!

[@sallyj632]

As a dental hygienist, I want to thank you for taking the time to explain the differences. I just was given the I.O. 9 for free, but I wanted to know what works best for my patients. Most do not care about all the extra bells and whistles. They just want to an electric brush that cleans well. Seems they all clean very well, and the price point is just the bells and whistles.

[@ElectricTeeth]

Glad I could help. I would be very interested to know what you think about the brush once you have had time to use it.

[@sallyj632]

@ElectricTeeth So far its only been 2 days, but I'm impressed! I've used other electric brushes such as Sonicare, Burst, Sustainable Tomorrow (which I tried because I like the idea of bamboo brush heads-more eco friendly), and older Oral B models. Out of all of them, my teeth definitely feel the most clean with the new I.O. Now I just hope the battery lasts a minimum of 5 years, given the high price. We shall see.

[@Lachlan_McDougall]

@@sallyj632the battery’s is also a lot easier to replace in the IO series

[@DH-tv2yw]

I have an i09 and the dentist noticed how much cleaner my teeth were. I love the mouth mapping. I tended to rush brushing my teeth pre this toothbrush but now I get much better coverage.

[@coy9898]

Oral be should be ashamed for the cost of the replacement heads

[@Inverse_Midas]

If you’re paying over £200 for an electric toothbrush, you’re off your rocker. I have one, but not one with a map of my mouth and a zillion cleaning modes. Trust me, you’ll settle on just one, maybe two cleaning modes, not 10. Also the guide app you follow on your phone, you’ll get bored of that real fast, as it’s a novelty you use for a month of two. But then you can’t be bothered to get your phone out, set it up in the bathroom whilst you brush. Also, do you need a built in colour oled display. Overkill, but it’s your money!

[@kalvino67]

My experience in a nutshell!! I really like my IO9 but honestly I only ever use the sensitive mode and I stopped using my phone while brushing/ Bluetooth features after about one month of use. I don’t regret the purchase as it helped me decide which setting is best for me but definitely too many models in the IO range and the incremental differences are like iPhone upgrades…a lot of hype but significant differences only after 5 or so versions, if that!

[@mentos93]

I bought the io 5 N series. Its weird how hard i need to press for the pressure sensor becomes green. Way too hard for my feeling compared to sonicare.. i always thought to not use much force on electic since it does all the work for you

[@jangottwald]

I have a question about choosing an iO brush variant: I am deciding between the iO 8 and iO 5 variants. I know what functions they have, but according to your video there is a difference in noise. iO 4/5/6/10 versions make less noise than iO 7/8/9. Why? Is it because the 7/8/9 are newer builds, so the technology is improved, or do they have a weaker engine? My second and last question is if it is possible to turn off the page change notification after 30 seconds via the app. Thank you in advance for your reply and your informative video.

[@ElectricTeeth]

Hi. So, our testing revealed the iO 4/5/6/10 are quieter. The exact reasons I am not sure of. I suspect there might have been a modification in the design. These models are newer than the 7/8/9 that launched in 2020. The brush motor is the same in all of them, so they produce the same power. You can turn the 30 second pacing via the app.

[@jangottwald]

@@ElectricTeeth Thank you very much for your quick and clear reply. So I'll probably rather buy the iO 5. Healthy teeth everyone! 🙂

[@mr4523mr]

You always do the best toothbrush reviews! The much faster charging time of the io 7 definitely seems worth the extra cost (but man, are the replacement heads expensive for io brushes). Thank you for making sense of this crazily wide range of models!

[@ElectricTeeth]

Glad you like them! And yes, the heads are ridiculously expensive.

[@44Bigs]

I feel like the only reason that iO exists is so that Oral-B can spend more expensive brushes that 3rd parties have yet to clone

[@andieluke1366]

Appreciated the recommendations being upfront!

[@rinz570]

So which IO should i get?

[@JMcG-y9z]

I bought a Series 9. The brush is fine, but the app consistently gets the position of the brush wrong, and then tells you you haven't covered areas when you have. So you find yourself over-brushing certain parts of the mouth to please the app, and ignoring other areas. So you have to ignore the app, which defeats the point of spending $300 on a supposedly intelligent toothbrush. An infuriating experience.

[@NiszczycielDobrejZabawy]

The app is designed for one user only, what a shame. IO3 then, I am not going to buy 2 brushes just because they want me to.

[@gary7181]

I hate brushing my teeth. You think I care if the io 10 has a trillion modes? And the whole “connect your iPhone” - umm no! I’m not getting my phone dirty with toothpaste because it’ll show me where I brushed. My job is to brush , floss, mouthwash and get out of the washroom as quick as possible so I can dread tomorrows boring wash. I just need daily mode. If I need sensitive then just don’t press so hard , and go to the dentist because something is wrong with your gums if you need sensitive. The entire io series is a scam . The pro series also was a sham. We just need daily mode and a strong vibrating toothbrush.

[@aviadler.]

I love my io9! Feels like I’ve left the dentist every time I clean .

[@ElectricTeeth]

Great to read. DO you use all the features?

[@gilio105]

No-brainer for me! I just bought the iO 6 and I'm super happy about it! I highly recommend! I actually had my sights set on the iO 7. But when I realized that the iO 6 toothbrush is the same, only quieter and cheaper (plus newer), it was quickly clear to me. I don't think the big price difference is worth it just because of the faster charging. All the other higher models, which are enormously more expensive, all have unnecessary extras for me (color display, etc.).

Do you know the difference? I can't seem to find the answer.

As far as I know the only difference is the box contents. The iO5 limited comes with a brush head refill holder (essentially a little travel case for replacement brush heads). Technically and functionality wise the brush handles are the same.

Thank you it is very useful. I think I will buy the IOS 6, currently on sale at 120 CAD (75 GBP) for Black Friday.

[@easybullet3]

if models 7,8 and 9 are louder, does it mean that the head rotates faster on these models?

[@ElectricTeeth]

Not as far as I am aware. The models we have tested were bought in 2020 when the brushes first launched. Newer models (3, 4, 5, 6 & 10) were launched later and were quieter. It is possible that new versions of the 7, 8 & 9 have been modified and are quieter to match, but we haven't bought new ones to test just this. The user manuals of these models don't make specific mention of the noise like the others do.

[@Ithanel]

There are several models in the Pro range, is there a specific one you are comparing to? The short answer is they all clean comparably. You are likely going to be paying quite a bit more for features on the iO that you might not actually use or benefit from. Brush heads for the pro series are half the price of the iO brush heads for example.

The iO4 does not have the real-time (6 zone) tracking. The iO5 does. It's very similar to the iO6, but without a screen. They are similar so price might have a part to play.

@@c.taplin6427 All of these should help your condition, by cleaning effectively and removing the plaque and debris from around the teeth, that might have led to the periodontal disease. You will likely want to use the sensitive or sensitive+ modes available as these are slower and more gentle on the teeth and gums. Used with the Gentle Care brush head and brushing for longer as your dentists advises should all help manage your condition.

However the Pro Series 4000 to 10,000 have bluetooth, while the 1000, 2000, and 3000 have no blue tooth. While to Series models 4 to 10 have bluetooth, while the series 3 model doesn't have bluetooth. So a Series 1 and Series 2 model won't have bluetooth either.

[@theuncanspan]

An entry level, i like that idea.

[@ElectricTeeth]

I think Oral-B will do this. I think it is a sensible approach. Unfortunately the main downside here is that the iO heads cost 2x the price of heads for most other Oral-B brushes.

[@BukuiZhao]

Really nice idea. An iO 1 would only have daily clean and iO 2 would also have sensitive.

[@bricoleman3661]

I wish the iOS 8 had the tongue feature. Is that worth it? Because I like the purple color so I might go for the 8 not sure yet!

[@ElectricTeeth]

I would never pick a toothbrush for the tongue cleaning mode alone. You can use one of the other modes and clean the tongue. If you want it because of the color, then go for it. It's about what you are happy with ultimately.

[@kenzie4772]

Can anyone please explain what the difference is between the Oral B IO Series 7 and the Oral B IO Series 7G and the Oral B IO Series 7N and the Oral B Series 7S??

[@ElectricTeeth]

The box contents. In other words the brush heads and accessories supplied in the box. You get hard plastic or soft magnetic pouch cases. The handle is identical.

[@jeffross9441]

I've owned several Oral B's over the past decade. From what I know, the inner gear mechanism is exactly the same on these models.

[@realgonca]

Hello, I wonder if the mobile application is all the same (all features) depending on the Oral-B Io 4 to 10? Thank you

[@ElectricTeeth]

For the most part yes. But, there are differences in some parts due to the fact the iO10 tracks 16 zones whereas the iO4 has no zone tracking.

[@cruisertechgt]

My Philips Sonicare brush is broken as the battery won’t charge anymore after 2 years. Looking into oral B which lasts more than 2 years it seems

[@AN-cx4wn]

What are the differences in weight and size? I want a smaller one and as light as possible.

[@ElectricTeeth]

They are basically all the same size & weight.

[@GuilhermeSilva-rl9yh]

hi I had a genius X and my dad as well for about 2 years for daily use(2 times) and after the 2 years my toothbrush is dead, the both...they dont start anymore...I would like to know if it happens on the IO too, whats the time reliability?Im scared to buy a expensive toothbrush again like IO4 or other and do the same thing..

[@ElectricTeeth]

Odd that they should both stop working about the same time. As a general rule a toothbrush last 3-5 years, but I know many people who have brushes far older.

[@GuilhermeSilva-rl9yh]

@@ElectricTeeth thank you

[@HalfLife333]

Thanks god for 1.25x speed

[@PSKuddel]

Thanks for the helpful video. Do you have any experience or information about the longevity of the battery for the Series 7-10 with the new fast chargers? How much of their battery capacity do they sustain after 2 years or so? Do they still only need to be recharged about each 2 weeks after that time or does the recharge frequency increase significantly and they need to be recharged for example each week after reaching that age?

[@ElectricTeeth]

Whilst my iO9 is 3.5 years old now I don't have enough data to really make any accurate comments on the battery after 2 years. I'd say usable life is slightly worse but I couldn't give you an accurate measure without far more testing. All I can really say is that should the battery weaken and fail whilst Oral-B won't advise it, there are guides online to replace the battery fairly easily if you need to. A new battery isn't very expensive either. I tried it myself and it was really quite easy.

[@earial]

Can you also switch off the timer completely? These drive me crazy and I'm looking for an electric brush without a timer.

[@ElectricTeeth]

There is no option on these brushes to turn off the timer completely.

[@earial]

@@ElectricTeeth Great... I was made to suffer...

[@ricky433]

Thank you!

[@bosscoolnd_YT12]

Yo I wanna upgrade from the genius X to the IO10. Is it worth the upgrade or I should stick with the genius X

[@ElectricTeeth]

Stick with the Genius X if it is working fine. There are pros but nowhere near enough to justify the massive price difference.

[@TheReccafire]

Great vid. Well done and thanks

[@steves8113]

Why doesn’t oral b publish the oscillating speed for each of the models like the use to?

[@ElectricTeeth]

I don't know for sure but probably because there is little difference between them and what difference there is has no meaningful difference in the cleaning results. As far as we are aware all iO models have the same movements.

[@srjuanjo]

Batteries are rubbish tho

[@nullspace209]

Where did you get the io 10????

[@ElectricTeeth]

Amazon in the UK.

[@fablan3308]

Which one's the fastest what do they all have the same speed

[@ElectricTeeth]

They all have the same motor and speed/power as far as we are aware.

[@Abrahhhhh]

So which one should i buy 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 or 10?

[@Dermie]

1 or 2 if you can find one

[@rinagoren7499]

I have 3 toothbrushes of the new models, and all of them had a problem with the battery in a short time

[@oneiros5156]

reapeating its expensive dosnt evaluate ist advatages or quality. Some just dont care about the price. Maybe Oral B is testing the Market and i think they struck gold if they keep up, id pay much more as long as im enjoying the product..

[@ElectricTeeth]

Fair enough. I agree price is not an issue for some. We have tested them all and try to evaluate the quality and advantages. The experience with the iO Series compared to some other models is fractionally better, but for many the cost premium isn't justifiable.

[@aSASa45454]

Why are the 7,8,9,10 louder? Different electronics??

[@ElectricTeeth]

In our testing, we found the iO7, 8 & 9 to register at 72dB vs the 64 dB of all the other models. Interestingly the manuals of the iO3-6 all specifically state max dB of 64 too. The other manuals don't too my knowledge. I believe all the electronics are the same. The iO7, 8 & 9 were the first models to be designed and launched. It's possible revisions have been made in the other models to address the noise. Hence iO3, 4, 5, 6 & 10 being quieter. It is too possible a new iO7, 8 or 9 is quieter than the one we tested when they first launched in 2020. We just haven't bought these 3 models again to specifically test the sound.

[@aSASa45454]

@@ElectricTeeth very interesting! Thanks for the detailed reply!

[@alternativeFP]

Can you speak to how the iO series compares to the older Genius X?

[@ElectricTeeth]

We have a video about this coming to the channel in the near future as it happens. But in short, they clean the teeth comparably. The iO is quieter and feels more gentle when brushing. The iO arguably looks the nicer brush but depending on the version you choose there might not be cleaning mode icons like the Genius X. The brush heads for the iO are a touch bigger and 2x the cost. The pressure sensor is better on the iO. If you own the Genius X already and it is working fine, I wouldn't suggest changing.

[@alternativeFP]

@@ElectricTeeth Thank you. I had read a comment somewhere in the past that the Genius X device doesn't clean as well as iO or in a similar ultrasonic nature, rather it was more of a spinbrush.

[@KongMan8991]

Thanks for the content. Some questions: 1. It seems to me that the only difference between the series 9 and 10 is the charging base and there is actually no difference on the toothbrush itself. Is this true? 2. Can the series 9 toothbrush work with the series 10 charging base?

[@ElectricTeeth]

In answer to your questions. 1) Yes, this is true as far as I am aware. No technical difference. Although the handle colours are slightly different. 2) Yes, it can. But, at this time you can't buy the iO10's iOSense enabled charging stand on it's own.

[@thomasvideoa]

Are mechanical systems in these brushes same?

[@ElectricTeeth]

Yes as far as we are aware.

[@injured_lion]

Does the io serie clean better than the pro serie? For ex the io 3 and the pro 3000 which does clean better ?

[@ElectricTeeth]

There is no study that looks at these in detail. Realistically in everyday use they are basically comparable. I couldn't say the iO cleans better than the Pro series or the Pro cleans bettet than iO. They do feel a little different when you brush. The iO feels a little more gentle.

[@UAE_SNIPER]

It is very good, but it has more flaws than the old one. Firstly, the brush is wide and may not be useful for some and does not move easily in the mouth. Secondly, the battery is very weak and does not last for a week. If you brush your teeth twice a day, the battery lasts for only five or winter days.

[@TurreTuntematon]

Thirdly, the grip is very bad. Forthly, the battery fails within 2 years. I have had 6 different ones and always same issue.

[@werni346]

should i remove the head always after cleaning teeths to clean the toothbrush? and head?

[@ElectricTeeth]

Ideally, yes.

[@adamcoopers2685]

Thx for all.. ✨

[@bobloblaw3191]

I may have missed it but do you know if these all use lithium ion batteries?

[@ElectricTeeth]

Yes they do.

[@janicewong7169]

Are all Oral B's travel cases chargeable?

[@ElectricTeeth]

No. Only select cases with premium modules. iO9 and 10 along with Genius Pro 8000 or 9000 and Genius X.

[@BeingBOTisCareer]

I bought an Oral b io series 3 and it has Bluetooth and 4 cleaning modes. ( Maybe it's an updated model/ canadian model ?)

[@ElectricTeeth]

Are you sure it is an iO Series 3. I've never come across this model with Bluetooth. What's the 4 digit model number on the base of the brush?

[@BeingBOTisCareer]

@@ElectricTeeth Hi. Type number is 3794 which I believe is the io 4 ? The packaging that it came in clearly says IO series 3 and I payed IO 3 price for it. I bought it in my local Walmart ( in Canada, Ontario). It functions like the IO 4 in reviews, and in the oral b app when I connected the toothbrush it showed the IO 4 starter guide.

[@ElectricTeeth]

Having an iO4 makes more sense as an iO3 with Bluetooth doesn't exist. Well, it does, it's the iO4! 😄 Not sure what has gone on there then, but you've got the upgraded model. 👍

[@BeingBOTisCareer]

@@ElectricTeeth maybe I just got lucky 😄.

[@MrWouzke]

Where does the difference in decibels come from? It's all the same motor I tought?

[@ElectricTeeth]

Yes the same motor. In our testing, we found the iO7, 8 & 9 to register at 72dB vs the 64 dB of all the other models. Interestingly the manuals of the iO3-6 all specifically state max dB of 64 too.
