Oral-B IO Series 6 Electric Toothbrush With Case Silver

Great toothbrush, looks good in the bathroom and the handle cushioning seems unlikely to come apart like my last oral b toothbrush did. It’s definitely a lot quieter than the older model I had and the battery life is loads better….had it around 10 days and still doesn’t need a charge.The 4 different brushing modes are good features but I feel it’s a bit of a faff opening up the app every morning to connect it if you want it ‘guided’ and I’ve found it to be hit & miss for connecting without opening the app (unguided) - opening apps is really something I think to do at 5am!Although once connected you can check how much charge is left, the 2 minute countdown timer is pretty handy and you can see when you use too much pressure - the handle also changes colour when ... MoreGreat toothbrush, looks good in the bathroom and the handle cushioning seems unlikely to come apart like my last oral b toothbrush did.

On checking the price of these new design heads I realised they’re quite a bit more expensive than the older style heads - wish I’d thought to check first BUT overall a great toothbrush with features I didn’t even think I’d need before!

purchased my Oral B pro 3 toothbrushes a few months ago and I couldn't be happier. There were two brushes and handles in the set and one charger. I kept the pink handle for myself and gave the black handle to my son. My toothbrush runs for about a week before it needs recharging which is excellent. It recharges easily and quickly via the charger supplied and I only needed to add a shaving plug. The brush has a few useful settings but I use the basic 1st one the most. It brushes my teeth extremely well and they are looking cleaner for it. My son is also happy with his and I consider it of very good value for two handles. I was so pleased in fact that I have purchased a second set.

To be honest... I always thought that only an a-hole would own a toothbrush that cost over $100. Well... I'm here to say that I was wrong. Very, very wrong. So what made me go back on my words? Well it was a combination of a sales and having some credit card rewards to use and decided to buy myself something that I wouldn't normally buy and I decided on this amazing toothbrush. This has a pressure sensor that gives you a visual notice through a light ring indicating if you are using too much pressure (red), not enough (blue), and just right (green). There different settings to select based on how you want to brush like daily brush, whitening, gum massage, intense clean, etc. Of course you also get a small vibration every 30 seconds to move to a different section of ... MoreTo be honest...

This model also connects to the Oral-B app that monitors your usage and provides reminders for things like when to replace the brush head. Most importantly though... This brush cleans so well that my teeth feel like I just left the dentists office after a cleaning. That's something I have never gotten from another brush - manual or the lower cost powered brushes.

A worthwhile investment!

Let’s face it, an Oral B iO brush is an investment, but I got mine at a great price on Amazon with the option to spread payments over five months, so I thought, why not. I’ve used Oral B electric toothbrushes for well over 10yrs and been impressed with their cleaning ability from day one. Being honest, I thought iO was just a way to add a prestige line with too many fancy bells and whistles and an excuse make the brush heads even more expensive - and yes they are expensive, but after a couple of weeks use - I’m sold! The iO mechanism with oscillations and micro vibrations really is super smooth and feels very thorough compared to my previous Genius. The new smooth taper shape of the brush heads feels super-comfortable in every corner of the mouth.

The iO mechanism with oscillations and micro vibrations really is super smooth and feels very thorough compared to my previous Genius. The new smooth taper shape of the brush heads feels super-comfortable in every corner of the mouth. The handle feels slimmer - it’s easier to hold and manipulate around the mouth and my teeth feel squeaky clean after brushing. I’ve a dental check up in a couple of months. Let’s see if he comments. As for aesthetics and features: the handle and heads are beautifully designed and manufactures with a real premium feel. The iO6 and 7 are essentially the same as far as brush modes - and I think the five are a great collection. iO7 has the magnetic charging base - which gives the the option to treat yourself to a Charging Travel Case if you wish.I went for a traditional charging iO6 simply because I love the grey opal colour which looks so classy. Sadly iO7 doesn’t come in the grey. If you like one of the iO7 colours I’d probably choose that as it has a minor benefit or two: I think the magnetic charger will charge the handle faster; you can buy yourself that Charging Travel Case later, plus the standard travel case that comes with the iO7 is much nicer than the frankly cheap and nasty version that comes with the iO6. You don’t get the brush storage pod with the iO6 either, but I sourced both on eBay for a few quid to upgrade.I have seen people commenting on battery life. I don’t choose to keep my handle on constant charge, though it says you safely can without damaging the battery. I brush twice a day and notice you lose about 10% of charge with each session - that may be nothing new, but the new, beautiful display screen makes it more obvious by providing a percentage score rather than just a three blocks of light that were used to. I’m sole user of my brush, so charging/battery life is not an issue for me. It could be if I were on holiday for a couple of weeks as I’d have to take the charger just in case. Maybe a slim handle means a smaller battery. For me it’s not a deal breaker. Bottom line. I think the iO8+ handles are too feature rich and consequently over priced, so think what you ‘really’ need. If you want to invest in your tooth and gum health then I think the iO6/7 are a genuine advance and you’ll feel the benefits. Get either at a really good price - half RRP is good and not uncommon - and you won’t regret splashing the cash!

Amazing Toothbrush

I bought this around 6 weeks ago and it's been a game changer for me. I don't usually go for electric toothbrushes as I worry they will by brushing to hard my teeth will become more sensitive and I end up brushing way to lightly to avoid sensitivity but with amazing features like the pressure sensor that glows red when you brush too hard and glows white when you brush to lightly and green when the pressure is just right, that is a thing of the past. It's got an OLED screen which shows your current brushing mode, there's 5 from Gumcare, Daily Clean, Whitening ,Sensitive to Intense so there's a mode for everyone. It includes a timer that tells the right amount of time that you should brush for. Its also very a slick and stylish design that feels smooth to touch but ... MoreI bought this around 6 weeks ago and it's been a game changer for me.

It includes a timer that tells the right amount of time that you should brush for. Its also very a slick and stylish design that feels smooth to touch but has a nice weight to it and feels solid in your hand. The battery usually lasts around 18 days between charging but is said to last around 14 days on the pack so you should always get at least 14 days. One of the best features of this brush is the Bluetooth and iO Smart App which shows which part of the mouth your are cleaning turning blue to white as you move around your mouth and when done grades your cleaning and gives you tips to improve. It also gives specific cleaning routines for things like gum disease or bad breath. I was always the person who couldn't understand how someone could spend more than £30 on a toothbrush but this has Completely won me over as I feel its completely worth it for a huge improvement to your dental health.I would reccomend this product to all of my friends and family for daily cleaning but if you experience any sensitivity or bleeding gums this will be amazing for you.

Disappointing

My dentist recently advised me to change my electric toothbrush from Philips sonicare to an Oral B brush. I chose this model from researching the different options within Oral B & then I saw it was on offer in Boots so it appeared to be a good choice for me. I've been using the toothbrush for over a month now & I'm not convinced I made a good decision. I had to restore the brush to factory settings a few time's in order for it to connect to the app initially & it froze a couple times on one cleaning setting & I couldn't change it so again had to restore it to factory settings. The connectivity to the app is not always accurate when I'm cleaning my teeth.

The connectivity to the app is not always accurate when I'm cleaning my teeth. I found the brush heads quite harsh initially on my teeth & gums so have purchased the sensitive brush heads to use but I feel they do not give as good a clean so I swap the brush heads around. The brush heads feel quite chunky & I find it difficult to get around the back of my wisdom teeth but my dentist did say they are awkward to get too so I'm trying to persevere. Oral B claim a full charge would give around 2 weeks use I believe, but the battery life on this brush is nowhere near that! The brush takes ages to charge & by day 5 I've got less than 30% charge which is considerably worse than the Philips brush that I'd been using for about 4 years. The case that came with this brush is very cheap, not really worth providing & again not to the quality of the Philips case that I have. I paid a similar price for the Philips brush 4 years ago to the price I've recently paid for this Oral B due to the special offer in Boots & I thought the Oral B would be better because it's original selling price was £300. I think the Oral B is cleaning my teeth a little better than the Philips but I'm sure my dentist will give a better opinion when I see them at my next check up. Overall I'm disappointed with my choice but will have to continue using the brush because for me it was an expensive purchase & I've bought the additional brush heads too. I wouldn't recommend the brush & I'm very glad I did not pay the full advertised price for it.

Excellent Toothbrush

I bought this to replace my Oral-B Series 9000 Genius toothbrush. The iO9 just seems like a really slick evolution of what was their flagship toothbrush. It feels like I have been to the hygienist. I use it with Colgate Max White catalyst toothpaste and it leaves my mouth feeling absolutely sparkling and my teeth feeling polished.It is very solidly built and has a good weight to it. the addition of an LCD colour screen really makes this feel like a premium product and, when you finish brushing, so long as you have exceeded two minutes, you get a nice smiley face together with your brushing time displayed (it will be sad if it's less than 2 mins - you have been warned!).The toothbrush has bluetooth so can sync with your phone to keep record of how well you are ... MoreI bought this to replace my Oral-B Series 9000 Genius toothbrush.

It also has several programmes to choose from, including sensitive and even tongue cleaning modes.The charging base is magnetic, replacing the old style where the toothbrush sat on a raised lug on the charger, meaning that the bottom of the brush could get quite gunky, but not anymore.The only thing I can't comment on is battery life as I have only used it around five times (it's at 90%) but I'm paranoid and if going away for more than a few days I would take the charging lead to plug the travel case in and charge it, just in case.The heads are unique to the iO9 so if you currently have an Oral-B toothrbush, don't expect to be able to use and left over heads you may have, this is a completely new toothbrush and not just an updated model.If my opinion changes I will update the review, but so far, very very good. i have used Philips Sonicare and Oral-B for years and this is the best so far and seems to blend the best of both brands.

The Best Oral-B Brush You Can Buy !!

I have used Oral-B (braun) electric toothbrushes since they arrived in Australia. The new IO oral-B series is totally different to previous models. The cleaning action with the magnetic drive seems like the brush is barely moving and is much quieter (64dBA cf. 72dBA) than other older models. I specifically looked for the Series 6 (over the 7,8,9,& 10 series) as it has all the features that I need and I am not paying something that I would not use.I specifically wanted the remaining battery capacity on the handle display. That way, I can run the battery down to 30% and then charge it up to 70-80% max. That will result in the battery (and the brush) lasting for over 5 years. If you fully deplete and fully charge the battery you will get closer to only 2 years.

The worst electric toothbrush of all time.

I bought this toothbrush in April. I’ve used it every day. It’s awful and I hate it. You have to tilt your head back and keep your mouth open- to keep spit and plaque from going absolutely everywhere. If you try to brush your teeth with your mouth closed like a normal person, y’know, trying to keep splatter off the mirror, this toothbrush has a super fun “spit fountain” exploding feature that will leave your hand absolutely covered in spit. Not to mention it gets gross after just one use. After washing it and your hands off, it will leave a gross ring of water and toothpaste scum wherever you set it down even if you’ve dried it off. There is a HUGE design flaw gap between the brush head and the handle and I’m surprised oral b is still selling this toothbrush. If I ... MoreI bought this toothbrush in April.

If I could return this stupid thing and get a better model I would in a heartbeat. It sucks. I spent over a hundred dollars on a toothbrush and it disappoints me every single day twice per day. Don’t buy this toothbrush, save your money.

Upset that toothbrush is defective after 3 months

I purchased this product in Feb/Mar 23 and in May 23 it already had defects. I simply want to brush my teeth and most days it won't turn on without me placing it on the charger even with the battery at 90 percent. Then when it does come on, it stays on for maybe 1 or 2 seconds. I cannot brush my teeth like this. Then it comes on and tells me that a replacement refill is needed; however, I've already input a replacement head. when I select yes that a replacement was applied, it gives me a smiley face then asks me the same question when it powers off and powers on again. Its very frustrating as this toothbrush was too expensive not to make it through six months. I need this to be replaced
