Oral-B iO Series 9 Electric Toothbrush, Black

Tengo ya 10 años utilizando cepillo dental eléctrico y de todos los que he probado (5), éste, sin duda es el mejor. Es lo máximo porque es el más potente, menos ruidoso y súper eficiente. La carga me ha durado una semana de uso diario. Además, se agradecen todas sus gracias: diferentes modos de cepillado, conexión con app al celular, pantalla (muy bonita) y ¡¡¡estuche/cargador para viaje!!!

Here’s my look at it:

This toothbrush is for lazy people who just don’t like morning routines. Powered toothbrushes clean so much better compared to manual ones! This one has so much power my gums bled at the beginning.

What I like:
– long handle, can reach places you wouldn’t reach with short toothbrush
– timer that shows how long do you have to brush for
– battery lasts (took it on a trip with no charger, 1 week daily use – no problem, can probably last even longer)
– changing this battery is possible – bottom unscrews, no glue/adhesive/buy a new unit bs! – thank you, Braun engineers
– relatively impact resistant. I dropped it 3 times on a hard tile floor, and it survived the fall. You shouldn’t test it, because it depends which way it falls and on what surface, but mine is fine.
– has an app. This app allows you to track what teeth exactly you have brushed, but I found it excessive, while it is a ‘wow’ technology for someone who are crazily obsessed with oral hygiene, I am just brushing without it now.

Which one to pick? Honestly, I’d go with io7 if you don’t care about bells and whistles, especially if the price is tasty. If it costs around $200, go with this one.

What I don’t like:
– I wish manufacturer let me position toothbrush vertically in the case (make a small indentation for it to stand), instead of dismantling it every time when I travel
– heads for it are kinda expensive
– can be expensive, not a regular dollar store purchase

TLDR; Hi-end electric toothbrush for lazy people who would want a quality teeth cleaning with some of the features that I found excessive, but otherwise built robust and does its job well.

This is really expensive for a toothbrush, but I gotta say it’s worth it!

I was an Oral-B user for years and I previously had a Pro4000 model. But it has since made my gums bleed and I decided to go for a toothbrush with ‘gentler’ bristles so I switched a bit to Foreo Issa 3. However, that was a bad move on my part. That toothbrush worsened my plaque build up and roughened my teeth enamel, so I thought to go back to Oral-B.

I’m not from the USA so I debates buying this, but it turns out both adaptors included have built-in voltage regulators. So you can use this fine from 100-250volts from your mains, just use a matching adaptor for where you might be.

This is a huge upgrade from Pro4000. The bristles for me clean better (I use it at Sensitive Mode) and the pressure indicator is a big help. Like other reviews thought it’s a bit tough to see the timer unless you’re already working your way through your upper back teeth. But this brush reminded me again why I was an Oral-B user in the first place. Really great clean, and when used with Waterpik + a great mouth wash, I’m sure my next dental appointment will be very positive.

A con though is that yes, the battery can be vastly improved. Can lose a chunk of charge with just a single use. And, no, you don’t need the app to use this. Just mind the timer.

Overall Satisfaction:
I give the Oral-B iO Series 9 a solid 5. This toothbrush is amazing and well worth the higher cost compared to other series.

Main Purpose:
I purchased this toothbrush to maintain optimal dental health and minimize the need for extensive dental procedures.

Ease of Use:
The toothbrush is excellent, and you can even turn on the phone to track your performance. It offers awards for meeting specific goals, some of which can be challenging to achieve.

Performance:
The Series 9 comes with additional sensors and a flat magnetic mount for convenient charging. While the battery drains quickly, it’s not an issue for short 2-3 minute sessions.

Features:
The ability to visually track cleaning habits is a standout feature. With multiple modes available, I typically use sensitive, whitening, or daily settings.

Durability:
The toothbrush is very durable, and despite the quick battery drain, it’s not problematic for regular use.

Value for Money:
Although expensive, the toothbrush pays for itself when considering the savings on dental bills, primarily limited to cleanings.

Comparisons:
Compared to other Oral-B models, the Series 9 is more advanced, with the phone app being the most significant difference. It provides detailed information about brushing habits and areas that need improvement.

Pros:

Maintain Oral Health: Keep your teeth clean and healthy with advanced features.
App Integration: Track your brushing habits and receive feedback on the app.
Charging Options: Charge the toothbrush using the magnetic mount or the convenient travel case with an attached cable.
Cons:

Lack of Apple Watch Compatibility: It would be more convenient if the toothbrush worked with the Apple Watch, eliminating the need to pull out the phone for information.
Additional Tips:
For a clean toothbrush and to avoid hardened toothpaste, use the travel charger instead of the magnetic mount. Cleaning the head after each use and washing it with water is also recommended.

Recommendation:
If you’re looking for a top-notch toothbrush that not only ensures oral health but also provides insightful data through a dedicated app, the Oral-B iO Series 9 is worth the investment.
