Although marginally better value than the UK, it is still $80-100 more than the comparably featured iO Series 9. The iOSense stand (currently exclusive to the iO10) isn't worth any more than about a $40 premium.
Does the base even charge the brush when not cable-connected? I've heard it doesn't and simply doesn't make sense for the now detachable wire if you cannot charge the base, then disconnect, and use said base as standalone charger for the brush . . .
@@Mister.Unknown The iO Sense charging stand/base must be connected to the power outlet to function. It cannot function or recharge the toothbrush without a constant connection to the power supply.
Yeah I opted for the io 9 because I think the 10 is overpriced, the 9 and 10 are the same other than the charger, you can get the info that you could get using the io sense stand in the app.
A non-replaceable battery in these Oral-B toothbrushes can easily last 10 years if well taken care of (keep charge between 20%-80%), so I think it's less of an issue compared to most smart phones where you're lucky to get 3 years out of them.

Thanks for your descriptive review. I think that Oral B should just offer an upgrade path from the io9 to io10, since the only difference is the charging base.

I bought one 3 weeks ago for $499au and the change in how my teeth feel is worth every cent. My teeth feel so clean and I’m no longer having bleeding gums. Of course it’s expensive and I don’t under why the price is so high, but I can say I would buy it again if I had to.
The stand itself has no battery. But you don't have to keep it connected to power. You could connect each time you brush or every so often. Depending on what you do might affect usability.
I went ahead and bought the IO10 for 240 euro + some gentle care brushheads for 250 USD / euro including taxes and shipping. Will be my first electric toothbrush and I need some help with my brushing so hopefully the AI/IO will help me.
The iO Sense charger. It gives you feedback previously only available via the smartphone app. So you don't need your phone out to get that feedback. Here's a comparison video that explains it further. ua-cam.com/video/F2SdjIrQH_c/v-deo.html
Does the charging station needs to be plugged in at all times for it to work, or does it work by simply "charging" it and it goes empty after a while? Can someone say?
You need to have the charging stand plugged in every time you use the brush if you want the clock/lights/timer to be functioning. You don't have to have it plugged in between uses if you don't want to. But, it is designed to be plugged in all the time. You would need it plugged in for longer periods of time every couple of weeks to recharge the battery inside the iO10 brush handle.
There isn't any easy way to tell for sure. We don't have data to say confidently one way or the other. Oral-B and Sonicare tend to be fairly reliable. Both have problems form time to time but they are the biggest brands so it's inevitable. Probably get slightly fewer complaints about Oral-B.
Hi! I appreciate your review. However, in my country the iO 9 and the iO 10 have a 10 euro difference in price (iO 9 is 240 Euros and iO10 is 250 euros). In such case, would it worth for such a small price difference to go for the iO 10 ?
Hello. Thank you for a great review. I would really appreciate your advice and help using electronic toothbrushes on veneers. Are they damaging? Is IO series 9 / 10 good for veneers ? Thank you
The Oral B IO Series 9 & 10 Position detection has 16 zones instead of 6 zones. Maybe Oral B could create an Oral B IO Series 11 that would have a pacer with 16 zone pacer. That way a users would focus and take time on different tooth surfaces.
That's pretty much software based, so I think they could implement this on other bluetooth enabled models with a firmware update. However, I do want Oral-B to make a IO sense retrofit for other models.
@@BukuiZhao The Oral B app includes Pacer Selection(4 quadrant or 6 section), Brushing Timer, Position Detection(with front facing Camera), Position Detection(without front facing Camera), Position Detection with 6 zones, and Position Detect with 16 zones. However, It would be nice if Oral B update the to implement all these functions as options into the app settings. That way a user could add or remove what they want the brush to do.
However, I do have a idea for a IO 11. Include a larger touch display that also shows the 3d live tracking and more. Keep the IO sense but also sell it as a accessory add-on for the series 9 and below. In addition, I also suggest a series 2 and 1. The 1 would only have daily clean, 2 would also have sensitive but are otherwise identical to the 3.
@@BukuiZhao Maybe in the future Oral B would create a IO Series 1 and Series 2. The Series 1 could have 1 cleaning mode, while the Series 2 could have 2 cleaning modes. Then the IO Series would be similar to the Pro Series. Pro Series has: includes models 1,000 to 10,000; while the IO Series only includes models: 3 to 10. However the Pro Series 4000 to 10,000 have bluetooth, while the 1000, 2000, and 3000 have no blue tooth. While to Series models 4 to 10 have bluetooth, while the series 3 model doesn't have bluetooth. So a Series 1 and Series 2 model won't have bluetooth either.
Wait a second, the charging case does not hold an extra charge as it doesn't have a battery of its own? I still have to bring a plug and wire when traveling?
Haha you are right. There's a select few of us who wish they did. 😂 Sometimes we do get suggestions of new stuff coming. But truthfully they can't really clean your teeth that much better. Best to pick form what's available now rather than worry too much about what's coming. If we don't we will forever be waiting. 😁
If I were to buy the series 10… can I buy any io brush head once I use up the first two that come with the toothbrush? Or is the series 10 brush head unique to its own?
You can use any of the iO compatible brush heads. You are not limited to the ones that come in the box. Confirmed in our video here: ua-cam.com/video/g32Z5SPjnxY/v-deo.html
It doesn't account for this. It assumes you have them all. It's not a massive issue as you pass the brush over a gap etc, you can give it the impression you are brushing the missing tooth. This might be more difficult if you have lots of teeth missing.

The fact that the charging puck is alot bigger than the less advanced magnetic charger makes it even less justifiable
FYI, the io series battery is relatively easy to replace. At least more so than the previous non-io series.
