I would say only get it if 1. You can afford it 2. If you absolutely need the best of the best If you are unsure go with maybe an io series 7, I’ve seen those for $150 on Amazon. You are paying basically half the price for a toothbrush that is still miles ahead of 99% of the brushes out there.
True, you make a good point. Unlike the series 9, The iO series 7 doesn’t have the super sensitive setting, doesn’t come with as many replacement heads and you can’t charge in the case. Anything is better than a manual toothbrush in my opinion so buy what works best for your budget 🤙🏽
I’m pretty late on the video but I just have to say, thank you for the review. I recently purchased the iO series 9 after watching this video and I have to say, it’s been keeping my teeth clean and keeping me entertained all at once. Keeping my dental health in check has never been this fun🤣🤣🤣.
*USB port omission from case* The omission of the USB port is really inconsequential for most people. Not many people would think to charge their iPhone from their toothbrush case. Moreover, the USB-A port has become obsolete with the current and far more capable USB-C standard. A sensible traveller would be wise to take a 5 port USB charger when away from home.
Thanks for this Video , I just ordered as my dentist said it would help with the receding gums that my manual brushing was causing. Thanks for your review. I am a techie and this electric brush got my techie juices liking it
Hi! Thanks for this helpful review. I’m still trying to decide whether to get the iO 9, one of the genius models or maybe even go with the burst. I’m definitely leaning more towards Oral B but I just can’t decide if the iO 9 is worth shelling out $300. That’s very expensive for a toothbrush, but I’m trying to step up my oral hygiene game (I’ve always used manual brushes) and I feel if it’s truly worth the price my teeth are worth the investment for sure! 1. Would you say io 9 is worth the money? 2. Is genius equally as good? 3. Is there anything you know now that you wish you would’ve known beforehand before purchasing the iO 9? (I know it was a gift but you know what I mean lol). Sorry so many questions, but ALLLLL the options are overwhelming when you don’t know what to get. Thanks in advance for your time if you can answer.
I believe the iO series 9 is worth every penny. It’s soooo smooth and quiet and makes the brushing experience so enjoyable and will end up saving you so much money bc it will combat and remove all the bacteria that causes expensive dental issues. I’m happy you left a comment and proud of you for taking the best care of your teeth as possible 🙌 I have the Genius 9600 and loved it but the motor on the iO 9 is much smoother and much more quiet
I got the io series 6 for £82 on eBay - $112.83 approx. Haven't used it just yet it arrived today, but you get the newer motor and micro-vibrations of the io line but without the gimmicky extra features like extra modes (which are generally accepted not to add any extra benefit, which is reflected by how Oral-B went from so many variations of brush heads to only two, standard and sensitive) and magnetic charging. It still comes with a case for travel which is perfect, and I had the charging travel case for the Genius X but I never charged my toothbrush in that so another gimmick in my opinion. Obviously Oral-B wants you to shell out extra dollars for the top of the line model, but I don't see any real practical benefit over the recently released series 6. Even the 3-D teeth tracking which is the main distinguishing feature doesn't make it more useful imo. The app largely has the same functionality across the different models, and most people won't be bothered to use the app consistently anyway 🤷♂
It’s the best investment I’ve ever made! I’m really happy with it and I love knowing that it’s really cleaning all areas of my teeth! Take care as well ! 😃
I am looking into getting the series 3 that was just released. For me, I just need a toothbrush that gets the job done. And I like how it has that quiet motor. I saw a review for it a few days ago.
Does the oral-b io vibrate as strong as the sonicare? I've recently purchased a sonicare from Costco, and find it very uncomfortable from the vibrations if the back of the toothbrush (the hard plastic portion of the toothbrush) accidentally touches one of my teeth. This doesn't happen with the classic oral-b brush.
I agree with you. I was given a free Sonicare electric toothbrush during dental hygiene school and the vibration was too powerful on my gums. I didn’t like it and I felt like it was receding my gum line. I switched to the Oral-B i0 Series 9 and love how quiet and gentle it is on my teeth and gums. I use the iO series 9 on the super sensitive setting which is quiet and gentle and has slowed the recession process tremendously. Have a good day!
I love my new IO 9. I only wish it were more accessible for people with disabilities like mine. I have next to no vision left, therefore I can’t really see the display screen. Audible cues as you scroll through the menu would be very helpful.
This audible cue idea would be a game-changer for some people. I'm sure adding a speaker to the toothbrush would make manufacturing the toothbrush much more expensive but it's worth mentioning to Oral-B because they should really consider all the needs of their loyal customers. Happy you invested in the toothbrush. Just know that it's cleaning your teeth more effectively than any other toothbrush so that should give you encouragement. Take care!
I believe that the iO case does have USB charging capabilities. I believe what you meant to say, and no offence intended, that unlike the Genius case, it doesn't have a pass-through USB port on the case to charge your smartphone or anything like that, which depending on the user may or may not be a con.
@@JeraldJamesCapao I am treating myself after working hard the whole year …. I’m buying this oral B iO, I’m getting the new dyson vacuum for $800, the dyson air purifier for $600 and maybe a somos arc for $800. After the other items with higher prices, the oral B seems cheap haha, cheers Jerald !

I’m actually considering purchasing the iOS series 3. I do like the current Oral B that I have now. But I am not the biggest fan of the vibration motor as it is a bit loud for my liking.
@@dentalhigenius5997 The current 2020 iO Series is the brush to go for. The Genius is a long superseded product line from the 2010s. The iO is more efficient and capable compared to the older Genius platform. Progress.
Your first impression was that it didn't oscillate as much as your older oral-b and that it vibrates like a sonicare. That's too bad. That's why I like the oral-b and stay away from the sonicare. Guess I won't be getting this one. Thanks for the review.
Aloha! Thanks for your feedback. I like that this toothbrush doesn’t oscillate as much because I think too much oscillation recedes the gum line faster but that’s just a hypothesis! Good luck with brushing and have a great day
@@dentalhigenius5997 That could be true. But I would say using too much pressure is the main cause of recession. I use the pro 5000 with the sensitive brush head in sensitive mode with a non-abrasive toothpaste.
Yes, especially if people with crowns and onlays use the super sensitive setting, its so gentle but thorough! The super sensitive setting is EXCLUSIVE to the Oral-B iO! You will love it
I definitely do! The motor in the Genius will get your teeth REALLY clean! It will massage the gums really well and also won’t recede the gums as much over time ! I recommend the lower power settings for both toothbrushes 🙂 have a great day!
@@yrstruly_nichole9280 congrats on your braces! You’re going to love the results 😃 of all the electric toothbrushes out there, I would say that the Oral-b Genius and the iO are the best for people with braces. The rotating head does a great job blasting away plaque out of the crevices of your brackets and under the wires! From personal experience, I can tell you that my gums don’t recede as much as they used to since I switched from using a Sonicare to an Oral-b Genius. Worth the investment I think especially if you want healthy gums and minimal plaque stains on your teeth after you get your brackets off! Take care ☺️
Hi, I briefly had the i010 and it was stuck in Russian, I pushed down the function button and I managed to change it to English, I returned i010 though and bought the i09 because the i010 is not worth the extra £550 for just the charging base charger brush timer, which incidentally stops the buzzer on the toothbrush from working, which is fine if you constantly looking at the timer on the base, but if you move anywhere out sight is useless, the i09 has all the same 7 brushing modes as the i010 and can be bought for £250 whilst the i010 is eye watering £800.
Aloha, thanks for commenting! I hope you were able to contact Oral-B and their support team to help you get the bluetooth up and running and to get the toothbrush out of Italian mode. Take care
@@kopite1967 The price differential between the Series 9 and 10 is totally obscene.

I know! The price is intimidating, but for me, the potential cost of surprise dental work is more intimidating. Teeth and gums are a body part that can have infection and lurking problems without a single symptom. Mahalo for supporting the channel
Yes. You can buy this toothbrush on EBay or Amazon. You can shop at Best Buy or Target, all these retailers have a good return policy if you’re not happy with the product! Have a nice day
I bought one a couple days ago. My only problem is it seems impossible to keep the pressure sensor light green.. seems way too much pressure and force to use. Anyone else has this problem?
The pressure sensor is pretty responsive. As you use it you will learn muscle memory to keep it green. Mine goes from blue to green to occasionally red if i’m in a rush to get out the door 🤣
You have to wipe the toothbrush with a paper towel or napkin after use and boil the toothbrush head in boiling water for 3 minutes every few months to avoid the toothbrush getting dirty
@@dentalhigenius5997 premium products should make life easier for their customers rather than getting them to use/waste more of their time, the cheaper products don’t have that problem, it is a well known complain from customers.

I just buy one yesterday and i will receive it tomorrow..i can't wait to try it.
4:25 you can’t rotate the head much if it’s click on the toothbrush because of the magnet. Click it of and you see how much it can rotate.

Yes. This has happened with all of the electric toothbrushes I’ve ever used. I use a clean square from a magic eraser to keep mine clean
