Greatly informative videos! I'm happy with my new IO6
Absolutely fantastic reviews.
Thank you. I'm so pleased to think so.
Thank you for the excellent and informative review. I'm sold and will buy one. 💪🔥💯🦷🦷🦷
This video is awesome. Thank you.
Glad you liked it Simeon.
Just picked this up for 119.99 CAD, which is around 85 USD on Amazon.
Awesome pickup!
🥳 Nice!
Great review as always, Jon. I bought this toothbrush on your recommendation and I absolutely love how gentle is it on my receding gums. One worry I have is, no matter how much I try to achieve the green light when brushing, I always end up going from not enough pressure to too much. I find the smart pressure a distraction. When I briefly manage to achieve green, it's too much pressure for me. I'm hoping even without achieving the optimal pressure, I'm still giving my teeth a good clean.
Glad you like the review and are pleased with the brush.
Thanks for the feedback on the pressure sensor. Ideally you want to be getting that green, but you will still be doing an ok job I am sure with a bit less. With receding gums you do have to be careful. 👍
@@ElectricTeeth Thanks, Jon.
Very helpful video - very happy with the iO 6 I recently purchased. The pressure sensor turns out to be a big plus because apparently I fairly frequently use too little pressure (much more often than I use too much), The app is also very useful because it turns out that just relying on the 30-second quadrant timer leads to two problems for me. First, I don't get any of the rear sections clean enough (at least not according to the app). Second, the results for the three parts of each "quadrant" (i.e., upper inside, upper outside, lower inside, lower outside) are not even after 30 seconds.
This has gotten me seriously thinking about the iO9 ($$$ gasp). I am thinking that if the io9 can really distinguish inside from outside surfaces I could get better (more even) results. With the iO 8 and below, in theory I think you could turn a rear sector "white" (clean) just by brushing the inside or the outside (but not the other) long enough. If (a big if) the iO9 reports its position accurately enough, you could avoid that error.
In real life, maybe it's not a big deal because no one is going to only brush the inside or outside, and maybe results even out over time, but maybe they don't.
I'm curious enough that I am going to give the iO9 a try and see if I can get at least a feeling for whether the more detailed reporting seems to be useful. That all depends on how accurate the position reporting is, and I can't find any tests of that. (Hint: that would be a super-interesting video!). The iO9 is still staggeringly expensive at almost 2x the price of the already seriously expensive (for a toothbrush) iO6. (Right now in the U.S., the iO6 comes with only one brush, while the iO9 comes with four, and with iO brushes going for around US$7.50 each that means you're getting US$22.50 of brushes "free" as part of the US$150 upcharge for the iO9 vs. the iO6...a minor consolation.)
Have you tried this out yet?
Great video! Would you go for io6 or Genius X, please? Both are the same price on sale in Australia. Cheers!
Tricky one. I'd probably pick the iO6.
The only downside here is that the brush heads for the iO Series are more expensive.
Either are good and will clean the teeth well.
Can you do a review between the io6 vs io9 I’m trying to decided what model to buy it’s seems like there so close? Is the io9 worth the premium price?
That is probably one of the few videos we have not recorded! They are similar. The short answer is that for most people, we recommend the iO6 over the 9 due to the price. The iO9 does come with extras, but for most this isn't necessary or justifiable for the price premium. A more detailed explanation is available here: www.electricteeth.com/oral-b-io-series-7-vs-8-vs-9/
Hi,
Thanks for the great review. A question regarding the battery life. When you say over 2 weeks, does the power in the toothbrush get weaker and weaker after each time as the old oral Bs do, or does the power remain the same until the battery dies? If I am traveling for one week, do I need to bring the charger with me?
Thanks!
Generally speaking no the power remains the same. If you are travelling for 1 week you should be fine and not need to take the charger with you.
great review. just bough 6 for £130
Currently use a Oral-B Pro 3000 since 5 years.
Sometimes I see some plaque left on the gumline and I have to use some manual toothbrush to get rid of it.
I tried charcoal toothpaste too, that helped a bit, but that is too abrasive and causes gum irritation and blood leaks after a week.
Maybe the IO series 6 is a good upgrade?
My gums are very sensitive, easy to harm them and blood starts to leak.
I found out that IO series offers 100% healthier gums after 1 weeks of use.
The Pro 3000 shouldn't really be leaving plaque behind when used correctly. Do you use the correct brushing technique with your electric brush? Do you regularly replace the heads?
@@ElectricTeeth Yes I use the technique you mentioned in the video "How to use An electric toothbrush" - At 1:01 you ask 45 degrees hold at teeth and let the tootbrush do the job. With this 45 degrees hold sometimes I feel that the toothbrush not reach efficiently the gumline on incisors. And sometimes I feel that the spinning movement of the electic toothbrush spin the plaque onto the gumline. Feels like sweeping the leaves on the road and make a heap of it on the side of the road.
I use Charcoal toothpaste weekly to get rid of the accumulated tartar.
Maybe my technique is not the best, that Is why I'm thinking on switch to IO series 6 to get more feedback.
@@ElectricTeeth Maybe I am not use enough pressure, the pro 3000 only notifies if you use too much pressure. But new IO series has smart pressure sensor, and notifies me if not enough pressure.
OK well possibly pressure has something to do with it. Can't be sure without assessing your brushing technique and personal circumstances. You could take advice from your dentist at your next visit as they can make a personalised recommendation.
@@ElectricTeeth One more thing I will try the Oral B Precision Clean head, It offers bit more gumline cleaning.
About the replaceable battery. I have Triumph brush from 2010? and have replaced the battery 3 times. While it was possible to change the battery, now I think I should have just bought a new one every 3 years. Now it finally died (motor is jammed) and I ordered IO6. But, I probably should have replaced the brush 5 years ago. When I compared my brush to my wife's much much newer model there was night and a day difference on the speed. I had just used for last 5 years a brush that was under powered.
Thanks for your great video. I have bought a Oral-B iO Series 6 for 89,99€ and sensitive toothbrush attachments I also bought during Prime Day (per piece they costed 5,83€). Was this a cheap purchase for Oral-B iO Series 6?
Yes, that is defiantly a very good price for the iO6.
Impossible it cost 114€ on prime day
You probably bought the Genius X. I was thinking between this and iO 6 and eventually went for the latter for 109 Eur.
Question please, when you turn io6 on, do you need to turn it off every after use or just leave it on stand by until your next use? I find it very hard to turn off the toothbrush.
Anyway, how do you turn off the tooth bursh is it teally you need to hold for more than 10 seconds or just one press is enough? I am not sure if the brush I purchased is defective or it works that way.
You need to press the power button once for about half a second to stop the brush after your brushing session. The brush will remain in a kind of standby mode, but the screen will power off after a short while.
How does the brush keep track of which tooth you are brushing in the app?
There are sensors in the handle that monitor its position. But its tracking 6 areas of the mouth, not each individual tooth.
Does it mean series 6 will consume more electricity overall if it takes 12 to 16hrs to charge? More expenses?
We have not investigated to this level or understand the electronics enough. Possibly, but I couldn't say for sure. Although I do believe the charger is controlling the amount of electricity pulled through to the brush so maybe not.
@Electric Teeth thank you. Being budget friendly to own io6, but I understand the pros with higher model.
I have a question please: If you’re only looking for a good cleaning experience and not really particularly care about the app what would be the best electric toothbrush?
Appreciate your feedback
I have the Io6 but thinking of returning ..
Depends on your location. Our top picks, with your comments in mind are:
UK/EU - Oral-B Pro 3 3500
USA: Oral-B Smart 1500
Canada: Oral-B Smart 2 2000
Australia - Oral-B Pro 2 2000
There are lots of other similar/good options. But these are our choices.
Does the iO 6 still you when you need to replace the brush just like the iO 7?
Yes, it does tell you when to replace the brush head. You get a message on the screen.
Hello! Is this worth of buying? I have Oral-B Genius X now. Is this better then Genius X?
If the Genius X is working fine, then stick with that. No point upgrading otherwise in my opinion.
the iO Smile version apparently is identical to the iO 6 version.. can you confirm?
The iO Smile? I hadn't heard of this. I have just searched for it and see only a couple of results. But, from what I can see, yes it appears to be the same.
I have the 6500n, brought 2018, reckon better clean upgrade, also io6, why io9 available for extra 50 quid
Does it save sessions scores even if the app was off while brushing your theets?
It will save some data yes but will show it as an unguided session within the app when it syncs.
Hi, can you can please advise, which model has powetfull vibrations or rotating speed! for both sonicare and oral b?
Oral-B products tend to feel more powerful. The products work slightly differently so it's not quite an exact comparison. Both clean the teeth well.
Just got one for free from my dentist office and the screen & changing of the light got me excited lol. But just used it before bed and I actually like it. My teeth feel clean but 2minutes doesn’t feel long enough for me maybe im going to slow but i have to brush longer.
I hope it turns off itself because Everytime i open the case it lights up lol so i left it alone.
Love the brush head replacement reminder. & the heads last 90 days
Wow to get it for free is quite something.
Glad to read that you liked it.
@@ElectricTeeth yeah it was Invisalign week at my dental care office i was supposed to start in November but if i chose this week then it would be cheaper and came with the free io 6 and a waterpik flosser. so couldnt beat it and my Invisalign treatment was $400 cheaper
Nice! I guess you've paid for it in the treatment somewhere but hey cheaper and free products is great.
Good luck on your Invisalign journey. I've been through it myself not too long ago.
If you want my thoughts and experiences check out these videos: czcams.com/play/PLAeTjwo5Ms7aOVzrxqVBSKIMqmwAW9AzW.html
Is it really like that? I have the same experience. Everytime I move the brush it lights up. Do I need to turn it off every after use? Because its hard to turn it off.
@@JOTOHI i honestly think it turns off itself because I havnt noticed the battery any lower.
What is the difference between the IO 6, IO 6n and IO 6s?
It depends on where you are located, but usually the difference is the brush head supplied or box contents. The toothbrush themselves are identical normally.
How would you compare this to Genius X, I can buy either one for the same price
Subtle differences and hard to say 1 is the 'better' model. If I had to pick, I would probably go with the iO6.
Genius X is better value as the heads are about half the cost of those for the iO6.
The X is grippier but harder to keep clean.
The iO6 is quieter, has a softer brushing experience, has a modern design, advanced pressure sensor and the screen is a nice touch, if overkill.
They both ultimately clean the teeth comparably.
between io6 and io9 is that big difference to pay more for io9?
There are a few differences. But, no, I don't think going for the iO9 is worth it for most people.
The main differences are the iO9 comes with travel case that allows the toothbrush to be charged inside of (using a separate power adapter). It has extra cleaning modes. It has a magnetic charging stand to recharge the brush in just 3 hours. And the real-time tracking monitors 16 rather than 6 zones of the mouth.
Today Amazon have the 6 for £99.99 while the 9 is £225. It's too big a gap to consider the 9 so I just bought there 6 this morning
Have been using Oral B standard electric toothbrush for many years. Upgraded to the io 6. Nice toothbrush and a definite upgrade from standard electric. However .... Unable to get brush and app to pair. Held them right next to each other and tried FOUR times. No Pairing. Nowhere in instructions, on website, or in this review is an explanation of what EXACTLY the difference is between the five different cleaning modes. I just use daily clean, seems effective enough. Impossible to hold 'green' pressure while brushing teeth. Seems to alternate between blue and green mostly. You kinda have to press harder than usual to get the red to show up, so easy enough to stay with blue/green.
In short - Nice toothbrush - app is useless - instructions are lacking in information.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Pairing should be relatively straightforward, but the vast array of different phones can result in issues/incompatibilities. Oral-B might be able to assist further if you contact them. If I've had pairing issues in the past I've turned the phone off and on again, and placed the toothbrush on the charger and then take it off at the start of the pairing process.
This article has you covered on the cleaning modes: www.electricteeth.com/oral-b-cleaning-modes-explained/
Short story is daily clean is ideal for everyday use and no one mode is going to provide any magically better results.
Should I get this or the soni care 4100?
It's personal preference. You don't need the extra features of this model. The Sonicare 4100 Series is more affordable with the essential featured we recommend.
@@ElectricTeeth okay got it thank you very much.
I got a discount from my dentist and got the iO6 for £85!
Got mine for less than £70 plus heads and toothpaste, your dentist ripped you off and got a kick back too, oops :D
shut up you actual sad person.
stop lying through your stained teeth.@@CurvedSlightly
What’s the difference between iO6 iO6s and iO6n?
It can vary but it is usually the brush head supplied or other accessories in the box that differ. The core features & design of the brush are the same.
I hate the gap between brush head you have to wipe clean daily
Not good toothbrush, problem with charging happened straight as I purchased and with a new replacement as well, the same does not change. However my husband’s has no problem with his toothbrush, the same series 6.
Not ideal. Perhaps a faulty batch? The replacement may have come from the same batch too.
Can I turn off the stupid light? I have an old model and I hate how bright it is. They light is right in my eyes when I'm brushing late at night in the dark. I hate it so much, if I can't turn off the light I'll buy Sonicare. You hear that Oral-B?!
Why is my guy shouting! 💀😂
Useless. On mine the app stopped connecting and refuses to reconnect. I managed to get it to reconnect it one evening then the next morning disconnected again. Even when it did work for a while there would be occasional times when the app wouldn't start monitoring when brushing started. Every other bluetooth device in my house works fine btw. Total waste of money, and not cheap.
the app is only useful if you can actually get it to connect...which most of the time it will not
Bro it's £300 wdym keep cost down
It's like 80 quid rn
Just got one today 119€
Mine was 114 euro. I agree this is the best feature / price model.
That's cheap saying the io 10 is $400 US
My advice: if you want to save money, do not do it on your toothbrush, but a least expensive car....
So buying an expensive toothbrush is better in your opinion?
@@ElectricTeeth 50 dollar difference on a toothbrush is irrelevant.
Not for everybody.
Whilst it is not as as black and white as this, the same principle of saving money on a car applies to a toothbrush too.
More expensive brushes rarely actually clean that much better.
Great Electric Toothbrush 🪥 but use a water flosser first before using the Oral-B iO
why
@Andro because the water flosser cleans the teeth well before using the electric toothbrush 🪥 😀
can u please show the sound and the movement when u turn it on without u talking?
We have begun to do this on some of our newer videos. If you want to hear the sound of the iO, you can hear it in this video here: czcams.com/video/54EACDA9MVc/video.html
