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.

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!

yeah they give no information. Especially not about why I should buy a toothbrush for the price of a small laptop instead of the basic model. It has AI tracking? Yeah? How does that work? show me?

[@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.

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

[@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.).

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.

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.

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!

[@eden-8864]

1. I have sensitive teeth and gums, is super sensitive mode a must for me or is sensitive mode enough? That's why I'm hesitating between IO5 and IO6. Are these modes very different from each other for someone who has high sensitivity? 2. Can the gum cleaning mode on IO6 actually replace the super sensitive mode on IO5 for me? Or is there no connection between them? Does it clean the gums themselves or the teeth as well? 3. How does the whitening mode whiten the teeth? 4. Which toothbrush has a more powerful battery, IO5 or IO6? Thank you very much for the videos, they help me a lot!

[@ElectricTeeth]

1. Super sensitive mode is enough. The brush head is still moving lots more times per minute than a manual brush. 2. Yes, essentially. Subtle differences that make little actual difference in the cleaning results etc. 3. It doesn't really. Well, it can, maybe in specific circumstances, but without going into detail any mode can technically make the teeth appear whiter by removing external staining on the teeth. 4. The batteries inside are the same.

I have just got my first electric toothbrush after visiting my dentist last week. He gave me an Oral B card with discount on various models. He advised to get the iO series 4 as that was the cheapest on the card. It should have been£240 but I got it for £79, however I didn't realise it was a two prong plug so I have had to buy a two prong UK adapter plug so I can charge it up fully.

[@ralkaspuxa]

Appreciate starting with the conclusion! Minto piramid ftw

[@isaacogunmuko3947]

Maybe in the future Oral B would create a IO Series 1 and Series 2. The Series 1 could have 1 cleaning mode, while the Series 2 could have 2 cleaning modes. Then the IO Series would be similar to the Pro Series. Pro Series has: includes models 1,000 to 10,000; while the IO Series only includes models: 3 to 10. 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.

[@GodsMemeTV]

8:23 - Budget devices 3/4/5/6 (10 which is the newest but premium) produce less noise than more expensive 7/8/9??? This is not a consumer friendly approach. At least lower the prices of 7/8/9. All of them (budget and premium) have the same deffect which will kill the device within 1 or 2 years (plastic which helds the brush head in place tends to break piece by piece after a time due to water exposure. I had iO 7 which had this deffect after 1y and a few months. Next purchase iO9 had the exact same issue after 2 years and month)

[@ElectricTeeth]

Thanks for your feedback. The 7/8/9 are potentially now as quiet as all the other models. We tested them when they were new back in 2020. But, I'm led to believe newer versions of them are quieter. But, I am not buying these all again just to check the sound levels. I've been using iO models for over 4 years and had no such issue with the plastic breaking. Can't say I've had many reports of it either. Very interesting to not you have had it happen twice.

@@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.

Used with the Gentle Care brush head and brushing for longer as your dentists advises should all help manage your condition.

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.

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.

is that true io 4 will clean your teeth the same like io 10?

[@ElectricTeeth]

Yes

[@SH-lt8le]

Currently the best deals on the iO series in the UK are as follows: iO6 - £109 iO7 - £124 iO8 - £135 iO9 - £225 iO10 - £349 What would you suggest is the best value for money with the current offers?

[@ElectricTeeth]

It all depends on what is important to you. Do you want the best tracking? If so, go for the iO9. But honestly, the iO6 is the best value all things considered in my opinion. Potentially, the magnetic charger of the iO7 is worth it for what is essentially £15 more, but it is far from essential.

[@OmarLivesUnderSpace]

Seems nice considering the dropped pound rate ^_^

[@freezefrank]

Where i live the IO8 is 180 USD right now and IO9 is 268 USD. Which one should i get? Is it really worth it to pay the extra 90 dollars?

[@ElectricTeeth]

Not in my opinion no.

[@andychan1087]

Thank you for the comprehensive review of the iO series brushes from Oral-B.

[@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.

[@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.

[@koxx_hun]

A sound at 72 decibels is perceived as approximately twice as loud as a sound at 64 decibels. Are you sure this information is correct?

[@ElectricTeeth]

As correct as far a I know. I hold a decibel meter 6 inches away from the toothbrush, held in my other hand. I measure the loudest reading from each brush.

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

[@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.

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.

[@sheenastar1639]

I’m not sure which series I have but I have Daily clean, sensitive, gum care, whiten, and tongue clean. The modes I have don’t correlate with any on the chart you’ve listed. However, my husband recently purchased the series 7, and his does not have the tongue mode. I received mine as a gift about 2 years before he got his. Is there another mode you would recommend him use for the tongue mode?

[@ElectricTeeth]

Hmm does your model have a screen in the handle or not? Does it look similar to those in the video or quite different? On the base of the brush are some numbers that usual identify which model it is. Your husband could use any of the modes to brush his tongue, but sensitive or daily clean would be my choice.

[@sheenastar1639]

@@ElectricTeeth Yes, my model does have a screen with the 2 buttons(power, scroll), where I can scroll through and select the different modes and features. It actually looks identical to my husband’s model, the iO 7, but they differ in the available modes. I did check underneath the device, there was nothing that stood out to me as an indicator of which series it was. I noticed it said model 3758; not sure what that means. Thank you for the suggestions.

[@ElectricTeeth]

Thanks. This model number applies to iO Series 7, 8 and 9. You may have an iO9 as this is the only model that usually has the tongue cleaning mode. Why others are missing, I am not so sure. The only possible explanation is if you have paired the brush with the smartphone app and disabled them manually or set a journey which disables them.

[@Sam-Retina]

Great comparison!

[@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.

[@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.

[@kabouterlul69]

I have the luck to have a IO 10 and thanks to my personal promo acually cost for me less than IO 9

[@MHzZz]

Should you charge it after every use? Or is that bad for the battery?

You can do, but if you want to get the 'optimum' life from the battery then you should not charge it after each use.

[@MHzZz]

@ Noted. Thanks for the reply! Very informative video.

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. 👍

Hi Jon, I'm wondering if you can change the timer and pacer ⏲️ of the IO series 9 from 4x30 seconds to 6x20 seconds, which is better in my opinion ?

[@ElectricTeeth]

I have just checked. There is no option to change between 4 x 30 or 6 x 20 second options. This is using the latest version of the app on iOS.

[@ElectricTeeth]

Amazon in the UK.

[@rejectdiorr]

I use the IO 10. the only minus i see in it is that i only can have 1 brush head in the case.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@SWIFTIESCHN]

Thank you so much! This is so helpful!

[@jonathangordon4428]

are they all equally powerful, meaning the respective "daily clean" and other modes have the same number of oscillations per minute?

[@ElectricTeeth]

The iO Series has a different motor to other Oral-B brushes. The brush head still has an oscillating, rotating and pulsating action, however rather than being measured by a number of movements per minute it is now measured based on the oscillation angle. Daily Clean Oscillation angle of 28° (+/- 5°) and a frequency of 145Hz. Gum Care A sweeping oscillation angle of 14-28° (+/- 5°) over 100 milliseconds and a frequency of 145Hz. Sensitive Oscillation angle of 20° (+/- 5°) and a frequency of 145Hz. Super Sensitive Oscillation angle of 15° (+/- 5°) and a frequency of 145Hz. Whitening A sweeping oscillation angle of 16-33° (+/- 5°) over 1800 milliseconds and a frequency of 145Hz. Intense Oscillation angle of 33° (+/- 5°) and a frequency of 145Hz. Tongue Clean Oscillation angle of 15° (+/- 5°) and a frequency of 145Hz.

As far as I am aware, yes. I've not seen any information from Oral-B to suggest otherwise.

[@yorick021]

How do the lower io series compare to the Oral B pro 3 series?

[@ElectricTeeth]

Cleaning results are comparable. iO models look a bit nicer (in my opinion). iO models are quieter and the cleaning action feels a bit softer. iO brush heads are about 2x the cost of the Pro 3 Series. The iO's pressure sensor is more advanced and arguably more useful if you know you brush too hard. Pro 3 is the better value option in most instances.

[@DreadinNY]

Very comprehensive. Thank you

[@handletoocomplicatedtochange]

Thank you for this , it was very useful. Is worth paying the more for the heads of the IO models, in comparison to the pro series? Do the IO clean in a more silent/efficient way?

[@ElectricTeeth]

iO models are quieter. The cleaning sensation is slightly different. I've yet to see any data that suggest the cleaning from the iO is much better. The Pro range is definitely more cost effective. Over the coming years, I suspect the Pro/older style will be phased out in preference for the iO, but tis will take some time.

[@jeffross9441]

I have had the iO for a 2-3 years now, probably the 6 or 7. It is far superior in my opinion to the Genius, much quieter and smoother. I have never changed the setting in 2-3 years so that doesn't concern me, but not talked about in the review, the toothbrush has a sensor around the neck of the brush that will change color based on the pressure being placed against the teeth. Blue is before any pressure in applied, green is the correct amount of pressure, and if you hit red, back off on the pressure, you are brushing too hard. Since many people brush way too hard, this is a phenomenal feature I strongly recommend for all!

[@danielekirylo]

I have the IO 10, paid so much for all those modes I never use, instead what is deal breaking are the Oral B battery defects these brushes have. They are bloated with functions and fail to deliver on the most important aspects of the brush, the motor and the battery.

[@tokisakikurumi1623]

question about the versions and limited editions like the sounder edition or io 8n or 8s something like that

Normally the colours of the handles or box contents are different. For example it may have a different brush head supplied or extra accessories.

[@rabab3623]

Hi! I see that there are also s and n versions ? I want to get the io 9 oral b but there is also an io 9s what are the differences? :)

[@ElectricTeeth]

It depends on your location but the difference is usually what is included in the box. Be that the brush head style or accessories. The toothbrush itself is usually technically identical.

[@pete9105]

The “higher end” Io models feel terrible compared to their lower counterparts because they have no grip and are slippery in your hand, that in itself is a deal breaker for me. Even the lower models and older gens had a good grip, what were they thinking!? 😳

[@Tolg]

How do these compare to their Pro lines?

[@ElectricTeeth]

They clean the teeth comparably. The 'main' difference is the iO models are softer feeling on the teeth and gums when brushing and not as loud. The iO's pressure sensor is slightly better too.

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