[@PortlandMan]

You don't need the app or the stand, just the pressure sensor. It's not hard to know whether you've brushed all your teeth or not, but maintaining the correct pressure is more of a challenge which the brush can deal with alone.

Just got the Series 9 and I have no regrets! It really feels like I’ve just done a prophylaxis from my dentist after every use. The charging clock hub thingy wasn’t a dealbreaker for me. I don’t have a plug near my washbasin anyways so I charge my electric toothbrushes on my bed side table.

[@chrisrose708]

Awesome overview! Very nice walkthrough of the features and setup. :) For me, I don't like to need to unlock my smart phone and open the app before brushing, so the charging stand is nice. Plus the clock time on the display is really convenient in the bathroom. Also, its worth noting that the iO Sense will work with iO7, 8, and 9 handles as well. But they dont offer the charger on its own right now unfortunately.

[@TechNovelTies]

Thank you very much Christopher!😃 Without the app I can see why you like the charging stand with the coverage setting. And the clock is a nice extra indeed. Didn’t know about the iO Sense also being compatible with the 7, 8 and 9. That’s some valuable information. Thanks!👍

Thank you for this video. It helped me decide which one of the two to buy. Interestingly, in my country the reviews and ranking of the io9 are higher than the ones of io10. In addition, the price point for io9 is 406$ whereas the price of io10 is cheaper - 330$. I also came accross malfunction complaints of the io10, so I decided to go for the io9.

[@TechNovelTies]

Glad it helped you out! Indeed interesting price development. Which country are you from, if I may ask?

[@Waskapmutni]

Had the io 9 for almost two years and it's absolutely not worth the upgrade. I've used it with P20 Pro, p30 pro and iPhone 11 pro max. And for the longest period it worked by far the best with the iPhone. It couldn't really track what you were brushing on android, just seemed random. I thought this was user error but not long ago, the app got an upgrade and that improved the tracking HUGELY on android. It actually tracks where you're brushing pretty good now.

[@TechNovelTies]

Valuable info! Didn’t realize there could be such a big difference in functionality of the app depending on the operating system of the phone. Good thing they’ve seemed to have sorted that out now for Android.

[@Waskapmutni]

@@TechNovelTies I know that many (I think most) apps are ios-optimized but I was not ready for what a massive difference one single update to the app would make.

$540 USD for a fancy charging stand that still doesn't correct the weak magnetic hold? I paid $200 USD and got the IO 9 on sale 4 months ago and just charge the brush out of the way on the shelf under my night stand. Thanks for being so upfront about how little you truly get with the IO 10 instead of being overly hyped about a new piece of tech.

[@TechNovelTies]

You’re welcome, I’ll always try to stay critical of tech novelties. Nice to know that’s being appreciated! And totally agree with you about the stand. I don’t even have a safe space in my bedroom so I actually charge my iO9 in the travel case every time it runs out of battery. For that kind of money, that’s pretty crazy!

[@boydell_5664]

Yeah I completely agree @k_while9497. I got the 9 for £185 today in a nice blue colour and it’s a no brainer especially after watching this video. It’s like an extra £250 for a charger that that does a worse job than the app and is also useless if you don’t have somewhere to plug it into in your bathroom. It’s just a gimmick. Thanks for your honest and informative video.

[@TechNovelTies]

@boydell_5664 You're welcome, thank you for watching the video!

[@31xela31]

I do not have a power socket in my bathroom. Having a charging base with the fixed cable seems a bit off(that is for the 9), especially if you cant take off the cable and keep the base as it is just to keep the brush on it, as a stand. This isnt possible, right? For the 10, does the base work(charge, etc) without the cable on?

[@TechNovelTies]

Unfortunately detaching the charging cable is not possible with the iO9 charging stand. You can detach it from the iO10 but then it will be completely switched off, so no functionality whatsoever. Hope that answers your question!

[@tophers3756]

I have a series 7 and never use the Bluetooth and tracking. If you already have a brushing routine that is at least 2 minutes like me then the timer is pointless. Plus if you then clean it while running it adds time so the recorded time is inaccurate anyway. The tracking lags on all models or so I'm told so it's better to just develop a routine and you will never use the connected features. The best features are present on most models . Mainly a truly usable pressure sensor are on ask models (unlike others brushes that only trigger when pressing a ridiculous amount.), a sensitive mode, and a display showing the modes (on series 5 and up). If you don't need a super sensitive option found on the series 8, 9 and 10 then just go with the series 5. The only thing missing is the magnetic charging which mean's a little extra cleaning on the bottom of the brush.

[@TechNovelTies]

Thank you for sharing your experience. This could help others decide which model to go for.

[@GameNOWRoom]

I like this release because I hope series 9 and 8 are getting cheaper.

[@ThorstenP.]

I have switched from the Genius 9000N to the iO 10. Main reason was the iO Sense charging station, because it displays the remaining brushing time, the tooth coverage, and a clock when not in use. Furthermore, it comes with WiFi. I expected that the iO 10 is able of transmitting its data via WiFi to the App on my iPhone after I have started the App. However, this does not happen. Before transmitting the data, you allways have to activate the brush itself so that it can transmit its data via BT. This is somewhat disappointing. For instance, I own a Withings Body+ scale, which exactly works this way. I can measure my weight every day. The scale saves the respected data within its own memory and after starting the App, they are automatically transmitted. Why doesn't the iO Sense station have such a build in memory for saving the data of the brush and automatically transmitting them via WiFi to the App after starting it? In addition, I wonder why only the brushing process with direct usage of the App is marked as guided. This also should be the case when using the iOsense station with its coverage function. However, regardless of using the brush alone or in combination with the iO Sense station, the brushing process is allways marked as unguided. I don't want to use my iPhone all the time when brushing my teeth. That's why I bought the iO 10 with its iO Sense station. By the way, I have payed 300 Euros for the iO 10, because has been a cash back action here in Germany. This price is still very high for a tooth brush. 600 Euros is absolutely too much for it. Even without the constraints mentioned above.

[@TechNovelTies]

Thank you very much for your elaborate comment! I should have contacted you before making this video!😄 Didn’t know about the synchronization issue. Good information for everybody interested in the iO 10!👍

[@chrisrose708]

Nice review! The iOSense does store all brushing session data. And publish "Guided" data on its own without the app. It needs to be set up with account info in addition to Wi-Fi so it is authenticated to connect to the cloud. This is part of the normal provisioning process when setting up with the app. You could try to reprovision your base with the app and make sure to log in to your account in the Oral-B app during that process. The charger has 3 usage modes: - Unconnected - Wi-Fi only - Wi-Fi + Cloud The last is required for sending guided session data, state, and logs. And requires logging into your account in the app, so the app can initially send that info to the charger over BT.

[@ThorstenP.]

@@chrisrose708 Thank you very much for your information. Hence, something must be wrong within my setup. I will retry the WiFi+Cloud connection and test it again. Currenty, the Oral-B App says that I am locked in with my account. In addition, it says that the iO Sense is conneted via WiFi (it displays the correct time) while the iO toothbrush is only connected via BT when in use. Hence, data are only transmitted to the App when the brush itself has a BT connection to my iPhone and when the App is opened. Perhaps, somethin went wrong due to my former Genius 9000N BT connection. I don't know.

[@chrisrose708]

@@ThorstenP. Its a little complicated how the data syncing works. Both the iOSense and the Oral-B app are made to work independently with the toothbrush (connect via BT and send the data to the cloud). The app will always win the connection unless a brushing session is actively taking place with the charger. If the iOSense hasnt connected to the cloud to transmit the data, and the app is opened it will sync all data from the toothbrush to the cloud, and mark sessions as 'Unguided'. Later, if the iOSense is connected it should upload its session, and the app will sync those and "upgrade" those sessions to Guided with the data sent from the charger. The app tries to simplify the information since it is consumer-facing, so it is difficult to tell if the charger is connected to the cloud or not.

I bought the io 10 thinking the price would mean more quality and now I feel like a fool. Most annoying thing: app does not correctly detect the brushing. I find myself more concerned about the app tracking than about the brushing itself.

[@TechNovelTies]

I can relate to that! I didn’t have a lot of time to test the iO10, but I did feel tracking was ‘off’ more than when using the iO9. Which is actually pretty weird, since both toothbrushes appear to be technically identical🤔

There you can find your answer: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIGwdoNpf9WbpMk&lc=UgxR24sqmNvB7Ktdet54AaABAg Thanks for watching!

[@NYC_Goody]

Question about the different cleaning modes the brush has. Intense and sensitive seem self explanatory with how fast the brush spins, but what about the mode whiten? What's so different about it since the other modes are designed to clean your teeth so therefor get them white regardless. But to have a dedicated mode called that would make you assume the whiten mode is somehow better at doing it.

[@TechNovelTies]

@NYC_Goody Very good question. I think it’s quite confusing. Every mode uses a different range of oscillations, pulsations and oscillation angles. Whitening for example uses a sweeping angle instead of a static one, like daily clean. My best guess is that it enhances stain removal. But to be honest, I don’t think it makes much of a difference or that it’s going to make your teeth whiter than the other modes.

[@evanc1721]

Nice and honest video - congrats. Does this use the classic oral b brushes? I have an quite older model with BT etc and I am curious whether the existing brushes are compatible. Many thanks!

[@TechNovelTies]

Thank you for your kind words! This model only uses special iO Series brushes. So I’m sorry to say existing, classic brushes won’t be compatible. Hope this answered your question. Take care!

[@sophiagautier3605]

Can you use this without the app, minimal tech? I just want to brush simply with a good clean (settings on the toothbrush itself). Then every few weeks charge it.

[@TechNovelTies]

Yes, that’s definitely possible! You might consider going for a lower version of the iO Series though, because it’s mostly the 3D teeth tracking, the app, and the iO Sense charging station which makes it different and more expensive than the iO Series 8 or lower. Thank you for watching and good luck with your decision!

[@turbocycle]

What is WiFi used for? Is this so IOSense can communicate with the app?

[@TechNovelTies]

Indeed, it transfers data back to the app. I’ve also read @ElectricTeeth that if not connected to wifi, it will not show the clock on the charging stand. I haven’t tested this myself though

[@chrisrose708]

Yep. Wi-Fi is needed to show the clock time on the charger, and also download new firmware images. It can be used without Wi-Fi however just fine. It will store up to 2 years of brushing sessions, and send the data if ever set up.

@EugeneBurmaka To my knowledge there’s no difference in the brush itself. Sometimes it comes with a premium or limited edition travel case. Or it comes with a different brush head holder (iO9s vs iO9n) or a different amount of brush heads. To add to that confusion, Oral-B prices seem to be a bit of a mistery and fluctuating a lot. So, all you can really do when comparing them, is try not to get fooled by all these suttle differences. Hope this helps you a little bit!

Hi! I haven’t tested this myself, but a P&G employee commented “Also, it's worth noting that the iO Sense will work with iO7, 8, and 9 handles as well. But they don't offer the charger on its own right now unfortunately.”

[@alphi92]

@technovelties Could you possible try to connect the Oral b io 10 magnetic sense ip stand to the oral b io 9 electric toothbrush and the App add the result in the review?

[@TechNovelTies]

@Aristotelis Farmakis I would have liked to do it, but I don’t have it anymore. I have the iO9. You’re question has been asked before and Christopher Rose, an Oral-B App developer, commented here that it is possible to connect the iO9 to the iO sense charging stand. Hope this information helps you somehow.

[@alphi92]

@@TechNovelTies thanks for your great review and comparison! Let me know if you manage to find out how they connect, or if the developer you’re in touch with would be able to share that info with the community!

[@TechNovelTies]

@@alphi92 Thank you so much for your appreciation! Here's a link to the video with Christopher Rose's comment on top rb.gy/ofj2qf Jon Love from electricteeth.com also replied to him, so maybe you can ask them directly:) If I ever get my hands on the new charging stand again, I'll be happy to test it and make a short video.

[@LaurIvan]

Would it be good for a 10lyo with the soft heads?

[@TechNovelTies]

@Laur Ivan I had to look that up for you😄 According to Oral-B, children can use any of their power brushes from the age of 3. That includes the iO series. My 8yo son uses the iO9 with a regular brush head, but it’s also possible to use the iO Gentle Care brush heads. Hope that answers your question!

[@Yournansaman]

@@TechNovelTies Yeah you’re right, I’m 12 and I’m using the series 9 with the ultimate clean head.

@Eccentrically autistic Thank you for confirming that!😃👍

Can the charging stand be used with the io9?

[@TechNovelTies]

@Eric Perry Thanks for watching! Christopher Rose, an Oral-B developer commented on this video that it's possible indeed.

Hi I have the io 10 and the charger make little noise is that normal? Thanks

Hello, someone know about how many percentage of the battery consume each use the oral b io 9? I have it but it consume me 6 or 5% each time l use, I just want to know if it’s normal or no?

[@TechNovelTies]

@jesusguerrero5996 That sounds about right. Oral-b claims battery life should be about 2 weeks. 5 or 6% each time you use it will even make it last longer than that. Be aware though that battery efficiency will eventually get worse over time. Hope that answers your question!

[@marksapollo]

I just got the Series 8 for a steal on a times Amazon Black Friday deal, £134. And I find the app is great. Not sure I’d use this stand over the app I have to say. I do think the battery life could be better though.

[@TechNovelTies]

@marksapollo Good for you man! I’ve been using the app for a couple of months now and I prefer not to brush without it anymore. There are also people who really don’t like the app, which I can understand if it doesn’t accurately follow your movement. And I agree on the battery life. I don’t charge it on the stand, so about every 1,5-2 weeks I have to completely recharge it.

How do you factory reset 😢

[@TechNovelTies]

If you follow the steps explained in the video it should work eventually. Might take a couple of tries though, I know from experience. Good luck!

[@TechNovelTies]

Btw, if you mean the brush itself I found this: You can reset the handle by holding the on/off button for 10 seconds. All the lights should do a double-blink simultaneously to let you know that you've successfully reset your handle.

I waited 2 years to buy io 10 i like it oral b are the best toothbrushes will i use all these features most definitely not dont have the time all the time really but i like new technology but got it for $250 better than the original price would never pay that much for a toothbrush lets hope this will last for manny years not trying to buy this again anytime soon.

@@TechNovelTies one question is it a problem once the toothbrush is fully charged to keep on the base all these hours won’t that damage the internal battery on the toothbrush just wish we were able to charge it and put it in the bathroom sink without all these wires it looks like a science experiment in my bathroom now i have 2 io10 plus my Gillette heated razor ive had for about 4 years that i love technology is my weakness. 😊💁‍♂️💯⚡️

[@TechNovelTies]

@@alexbia5689 Haha, looks like we’ve got the same problem😂 And that’s a good question you’re asking. But I’m afraid I don’t have a definitive answer for you. There are different opinions about this on the internet. Personally, I leave it on the stand as I don’t think it really matters what you do. I found something else though. Strangely enough, updating the app can also affect battery performance. This is from Oral-B’s website: ”For the best experience with the Oral B iO toothbrushes we strongly recommend downloading and update for free the Oral B App on your phones. This will also help keeping the toothbrush software up to date, which can also improve battery performance. Download the free App on AppStore or Google Play (depending on your mobile device), connect your toothbrush and you will be guided through the Update process.” Good luck with your cable managment in the bathroom😄👍

[@DarthLordRaven]

its 280 euros right now so i got one. actually i need one my teeth are full of plaque and stone with my old oral b. it's the same price a the io 9. i'go for the 10. i need it.

[@TechNovelTies]

Wow, that’s a good deal! In that case, I definitely would have done the same!😃👍 btw @Fokfeesspecial is one of the most creative KZbin names I’ve seen lately😄🤟

[@jonathanrees3765]

I have the IO 9 - ditched the app because the AI (Artificial stupidity) randomly did not track at all accurately. So using coverage 1 section off teeth would get 100% coverage without being brushed... This was frequent enough to make the function just a waste of time. Toothbrush is also very capable of spraying toothpaste around the room, good feature? And why the heck should I want to create another potentially insecure online account? Note that the account is not required to use the app.

[@TechNovelTies]

I have the iO 9 as well. I can imagine your experience with the app must have been very frustrating. I also get annoyed when I notice it track inaccurately, but it only happens every now and then. If it would happen often, I wouldn’t use it either. Toothpaste spraying around the room is new to me, haven’t seen or read that anywhere else. Good point though about the account not being required for using the app. That’s valuable information for others who prefer not to create an account. So thanks for that!

[@riccccccardo]

Funny this in my recommended I was looking at these two to maybe replace my oral b 6500 had for two years. The prices are ridiculous though.

A real down to earth honest review. I currently own the 9 and remember buying this on launch day and paying launch day price and launch day price for the replacement heads I bagged a sweet bargain as I was shocked months later how expensive it is and even today just for two replacements heads at £54.00 I picked up 4 replacements heads for £4.00 on launch day at those prices you bet I’m stocking up thanks boots. After watching this review totally agree with you. Stick with the 9 good bit of kit expensive replacement heads tho

[@TechNovelTies]

@Anthony p Very, very good point! Funny how you’ve exactly pinpointed the part that I eventually left out of the video, which I probably shouldn’t have! When editing the video I originally said the iO brush heads were about twice as expensive as the regular ones, yet when I was looking for some additional footage at Oral B’s webshop to back that information, they were for sale at about a quarter of the price! So indeed, seeing how often and by what margin Oral-B prices change, it’s absolutely worth waiting for a good deal and to stack up when that happens! Thank you very much for your comment, it’s valuable information for others!😃👍

[@anthonyp6810]

@@TechNovelTies your welcome. Also I forgot to mention when this new version goes on sale wherever you live you may get free 2 brush heads no travel case or in different part or the world 1 brush head and travel case. I remember I got the travel case a 1 brush head and that brush holder while in Canada they had 4 brush heads and travel case no holder And this is my second toothbrush i previously had the rose gold and that had loads of brush heads and it was way cheaper to replace the heads. So no I won’t be upgrading to 10. Hope it helps anyone buying into the oral B brand

Hey how are you and I want to say that this was a very good video and very detailed I myself just purchased the Oral-B IO series 9 and just waiting for it to be delivered and one of the things I wanted to ask was that I saw some reviews that said for some reason the series 10 was quieter than the series 9? Have you seen this to be true? I will definitely respect your opinion since you have used both brushes and you were very thorough in your videos and looking forward to hearing back your feedback, sincerely

[@TechNovelTies]

@Clark Kent Thank you so very much, I really appreciate that! And I’m fine, thank you. Hope you are too!😃 The iO10 is indeed a bit quiter at a noise level of 64dB. The iO9 operates at 72dB. But to be honest, I just looked that up for you, because I didn’t notice the difference myself while making the video. I’ve been using the iO9 for quite a while now, and I still enjoy it every day. Hope you will too!
