Product Information

The pacer is a dentist recommended feature that helps you achieve this. It’s configured to 30 second intervals and works as expected. However, the iO is still louder than most sonic toothbrushes, but it is approximately 2-12 decibels quieter than most other Oral-B brushes (subject to model). But others won’t last as long – we found the least powerful brush needed recharging after just 16 brushes.

For a company that has designed a brush to be more environmentally considerate, I expected better, perhaps setting a new higher standard of 3+ years. Where some companies don’t offer repair outside of the warranty or deem it economically unviable, SURI’s approach is to minimize the impact on global resources. Post-brushing, our teeth felt exceptionally clean, akin to a dental visit. Given the brand's reputation and the toothbrush's settings and intensities, this toothbrush is a great fit for those looking for a thorough and effective clean. Simply switching to an electric toothbrush cannot guarantee healthy teeth, of course. A good toothpaste, brushing technique, brushing at the right time and flossing are all crucial too. But an electric toothbrush is certainly a good start. The case holds the handle and 1 brush head and has vents that allow the brush to dry. It closes securely using magnets and isn’t any bigger than it needs to be. Most impressively, you can recharge the toothbrush and sanitize your brush head simultaneously, whilst inside.Pressure sensors: If you have a habit of brushing your teeth a little too hard, it's smart to find an electric toothbrush with pressure sensors. Froum says, "One of the more important features for an electric brush is a Changing settings mid-brush requires stopping the brush, interrupting the flow of the brushing experience. In Lab tests, the Oral-B iO received high scores all around and consumer testers shared that there’s not much to dislike, describing the brush as “bomb,” “a game-changer,” a “joy to use” and “incredibly cool.” Several testers even said their experience was akin to having their teeth professionally cleaned: “What’s not to love? I’m addicted to brushing my teeth and using this toothbrush! I feel like I just left my hygienist chair with a professional cleaning,” says one tester. The Oral-B iO Series 8 Electric Toothbrush, with its compact design and travel-friendly features, is an excellent companion for on-the-go dental care.

As a general rule, sonic electric toothbrushes, like those produced by Philips Sonicare, tend to be quieter.

Conclusion

Otherwise, it’s worth looking out for pressure sensors that can warn you when you’re pressing too hard while brushing – or not hard enough. Plus, a brushing timer that sends a pulse through the brush when it’s time to stop brushing (usually two minutes), or time to move to another quadrant of your mouth (roughly every 30 seconds). The timer worked well, though switching settings mid-brush could be smoother. Battery life impressed us—charged once, and it's been over a month with a single charge. We appreciate the absence of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or an app—it keeps brushing simple and effective. Considering the fair price, especially in comparison to similar products without the water flosser, we believed it offered great value. It's particularly beneficial for those with sensitive gums or gaps between their teeth. Despite its loud noise when in use, the Waterpik Complete Care 9.0 is a compelling choice, with minor improvements such as quieter operation and more effective tongue cleaning nubs to enhance the experience. Pressure sensors: Pressure sensors act as a safety measure, says Dr. Dmitry Dolgov, a dentist at The Dentist Lounge in Santa Monica, California. They alert you when you’re brushing too hard and eliminate the chance that you’ll hurt your gums or tooth enamel. If an electric toothbrush senses that you’re exerting too much pressure while brushing, it may slow down its oscillations or display a red light on its base, which tells you to be gentler.

I want to love it, but I’m not sure I do, as the head is quite wide which makes it hard to reach all the nooks and crannies - although it has been streamlined from the ISSA 2. It has a huge range of 16 different speed settings, although they’re not separated into dedicated ‘modes’ as such, and I actually found that 16 is too many. It has an interval timer, which prompts you to move to a different area of your mouth every 30 seconds for a thorough clean, but again no pressure sensor. The iO Series 9 is one of Oral-B’s ​most advanced electric toothbrushes, and though it costs more than others on this list, it’s loaded with smart features designed to help you get the deepest clean. For instance, there’s a real-time “coaching” feature ​that leverages AI to help guide you while you brush so you never miss a spot. The brush also includes seven smart modes — including one for cleaning your tongue — as well as a built-in timer, Smart Pressure Sensor​ (it signals red when you're brushing too hard), charging travel case and three replacement brush heads. Much of this still isn't recyclable via kerbside collection, and for a long time the only option was to put most of these items in the bin. In addition, Oral-B electric toothbrushes produce an additional movement known as pulsations which range from 20,000-48,000. That is a further 333 to 800 movements per second, subject to model.

How To Find The Right Electric Toothbrush For You!

The toothbrush’s handle felt just right and the small, round brush head was a refreshing change, allowing for better access to tight spots and crevices. The multiple settings and extra features (like the tongue cleaner) offered a diverse brushing experience. While navigating these settings might require more effort than some would prefer, for tech or oral care enthusiasts, it's a great addition. Post-brushing, teeth felt plaque-free, although the taste was less minty, likely due to the smaller brush head.
