**CORRECTION** - The iO5 does remember the last cleaning mode used. (1:38)
I really do love this tooth brush, looking forward to greater oral health for many decades to come
I love your tooth shaped manual toothbrush holder. I wish I knew about that when I was using a manual toothbrush.
I'm in the first months with the IO5. The App / Brush communications are terrible. The brush itself does a wonderful job. Using the App for position tracking is spotty at best with the upper right section being the default position detected. It takes at least 3 minutes to get 100% coverage in all of the six zones. Some times I get a scolding for brushing past 4 minutes trying to get the coverage. Additionally, although the session indicates 100% coverage with all the flashing lights, the session may or not be recorded and may show-up on the previous day. The support website lists these as being a problem they are working on????🤐🤐
Thanks for sharing your feedback, all useful stuff.
Thank you for the reviews!
I wanted to replace my Oral B Vitality to a quiter model and found your research regarding the noise rate. I knew that the budget models are always louder, but I was surprised to know that my model is really that loud. Then I decided to check io4 and io5, and I like the way you review products. Thank you for that.
I wanted to purchase io4 as I expected it to be cheaper, but didn't find it. So, I will buy io5 for around 85$. Then I will share my experience regarding the noise rate comparison and other things.
You could look at the iO3 too. That's generally the cheapest iO model. It's just as loud as the iO4 and 5, but quieter than the Vitality. It does not have Bluetooth though.
I'm glad you've found the videos helpful.
@@ElectricTeeth Thank you for the suggestion. I didn't know io3 exists. However, io3 and io4 turned to be more expensive than io5 I found (with a discount).
How is it going?
@@Carol263Zim I would say iO5 is really quieter than Oral B Vitality. The pressure sensor is nice. However, now, there is more vibration for teeth, especially the front ones. The feeling for the front teeth is like I'm playing several teeth vargans at the same time.
I had to find a way to make it better by holding the brush a certain way (hold it by the end, not by the center). Also, there are different cleaning modes, and gentle mode is bearable. If you switch from Vitality or similar brushes, it is better to use that mode at the beginning of using that brush.
Also, I learned that Oral B Vitality can be even louder because of the cheaper brush heads! After the original one expired, I bought a cheaper replacement. And after some time I noticed that the brush is too loud for my ears. But I didn't realize that until a relative showed me a similar model with the original head.
If I knew that I could buy the original brush heads and that iO5 vibrates the teeth too much, probably, I wouldn't buy iO5.
Anyway, I will stick to the brush I bought. Most likely, I will use the gentle mode and sometimes switch to the normal mode as it cleans better than the gentle mode and than Vitality.
solid and very informative video, good work for real
Glad you liked it!
I’m deciding between this and the 7000 series 🤷♂️
Nice video…mines on charge now…will review in the morning 🎉
Looking forward to hearing what you think about it.
@@ElectricTeeth I like this, it’s so quiet. I have tried the app but nobody will use that everyday? Gives a guide though and the light indicator is good, luckily I seem spot on most of the time. Teeth feel clean after. Like you said the 50% off in the UK 🇬🇧 is good, wouldn’t pay the full price 👍🏽
I’ve just got mine, thanks to your reviews. I didn’t know what to choose between io 3-4-5-6. And I’ve got io5 at the end, and as I’m from Europe I paid the IO5N version 180€ 😢 IO3 was half price, but I was too tempted by the Bluetooth connectivity and all the extras in app to opt for the io 5
I just bought one for only 110 dollars on sale in Denmark , I shifted from Phillips Sonicare, the first one lasted 13 month and was the 4500 model then I used 150 dollars on the 6100 of version it broke down same fault the metal axle brakes easy, but it came it 24 months warranty so Phillips sent me a new one but I won't be using it love the IO5 and the app.
Great video, thanks
Thanks for all the info... after watching many of videos of Electric Teeth and others I have placed and order for a i05. I have been using manual toothbrushes all my life and well I always brush in the morning I find myself from time to time skipping the brush before bed after a long day so I hope the now getting a electric brush I can just hold and move around with out a lot of back and forth will get me brushing more before bed. I'm happy to hear about it saving the last cleaning mode used and the fact it will tell me when to replace the brush heads. I think I will like the images for the menu as well and well the brush heads are like $30 give or take a few bucks that for 12 months so after looking at the 1500 I just got the i05 as I think this will be the best for my wants and use case but, I do think you're right that the 1500 is a great bang for buck.
Also sorry for not using your link at the time of this post I found another i05 on amazon for only $97 and the link below the video is $118
Thanks for the comment. Looking forward to you coming back and saying how well you are getting on with it.
Hello! I have a question- I have sensitive gums and my dentist recommends using a soft toothbrush head. Since this toothbrush has 2 modes for sensitivity (Sensitive and Super sensitive) would you suggest keeping the current brush head that comes with the toothbrush and clean in those modes or get a sensitive toothbrush head and continue using the sensitive modes? Thanks!
To be honest there is no completely correct answer here, because there are many variables. But, our preference would be the soft brush head (Gentle Care) and then one of the sensitive cleaning modes.
If you are already using the supplied Ultimate clean brush head, as long as you are happy, you might as well get the usable life out of that head (3 months) before switching.
I have 3 toothbrushes of the new models, and all of them had a problem with the battery in a short time
Should I purchase the Oral-B Sensitive Toothbrush heads or just use the sensitive setting on the brush with the accompanying tooth brush head?
It is entirely up to you. Most dentists prefer/recommend the softer head. But, if you have a CrossAction head at the moment, and find it a bit hard, then use the sensitive mode with this head. When it is time to swap replace it with a Sensi UltraThin /Pro GumCare head and change the cleaning mode back to daily clean.
Hi Jon, good morning and happy Sunday! I want to ask kindly you a question about this particular model. I just bought via Amazon as a replacement of a Philips Sonicare 5100 that I had, because sadly the metal end broke internally. I was very surprised with the first use of the Oral-B iO Series 5 (before first using it, I left it charged for +16 hours, as instructed), but the thing that I noticed was that the battery drained very quickly after each session (my usual time of use is between 2 to 2:20 minutes, and I do brush my teeth 3 times per day), and after 5 days of usage, the battery was at 22% and the “Low Power” notification appeared on the app. So my question is it is normal that battery life lasts that short in accordance to my usage or is something wrong with the device? Also, I asked you this because with the Sonicare, the battery lasted for 10 days, with the same usage as I mentioned before. As a parenthesis I’m a huge fan from Mexico of your channel and it has been very helpful and informative your videos; thank you in advance for your kind support and I will remain attentive to your comments 😊
Hey. So, I achieved up to 17 days based on 2 cleans per day, each 2 minutes in length. If you brush 3 times a day, then in theory you should expect around 11 days, maybe 9-10 when you consider you might be brushing for 2.20 seconds.
So, on this basis 5 days use and 22% does seem a bit odd.
I would give it a bit more time. Perhaps recharge the battery fully and then see how the next week or two weeks of use compares. It may improve.
Thank you very much for your prompt response and comment provided, Jon! Very helpful and I will definitely keep an eye on the battery as I just did what you suggest to fully charge it and see how it goes on this second time; will keep you posted on what happens 😉
@@rodrigoespejel4745how is it?
@@rodrigoespejel4745 update please
Hi, I have one doubt can you help me here I am getting io 5 and genius X in same price which one should I pick?
It's really tricky. All things considered, I think the iO5 takes the edge, just. But...the replacement heads are 2x the price of those for the Genius X, so value for money wise the Genius X is better.
There are few things that needs to be fixed.
1- It doesn't quite detect where I'm brushing. It takes 3-4 minutes to reach 100% coverage even though I brush 100%
2- It splashes everywhere. You have to keep your mouth closed and it’s hard to brush some areas with closed mouth.
3- After 2 minutes you can’t pause toothbrush to spit. It stops your brushing session and gives you low brushing point.
4- Toothpaste disappears after first area and you continue your brushing without toothpaste or little toothpaste
Thanks for sharing your opinions having used the brush. I am sure others will find this helpful.
Thank you very much! My dental hygenist told me my old Oral B Pro is too old (it is indeed a couple of years old and didn't remove the plaque properly) and she reccomended the Oral B IO series, starting with the series 4. This comment is indeed very helpful! I think I'll probably get the lavender IOS series 4.
I switched to the IO 5 from the oral b 3500. I've always use sensitive head brushes on both. I barely feel the IO on my teeth and gums yet my teeth feel much cleaner. If you keep your mouth open with the IO toothpaste will splash violently out your mouth and make a mess this was not an issue with the older 3500. The IO models is 100% worth it even if you do not plan on using the app. @@edekker1625
Hello!
Why can't I turn off the toothbrush? After brushing, it turn off itself, but after that the power button and the icons below it keep flashing. When I press the power button it starts.
This brush will turn itself off after 5 minutes. You should be able to press and hold the power button for about 1-2 seconds and it should turn off.
If it isn't then something is wrong.
You kinda cover everything good video. Mine dosent seem to switch off the light just comes on randomly can we turn it off ?
Do you mean the light ring around the neck of the brush handle?
Does anything happen for it to come on, for example, does it get knocked or any vibrations through the countertop it might be on?
We've noticed this on occasion with some iO models. It could be worth contacting Oral-B for their thoughts/advice.
Hi. My toothbrush doesn’t switch off when holding down the power button 1-2 seconds. It says on with all the buttons lit up when you pick up the brush. Is this the normal functionality of the brush?
This doesn't sound normal. It should power off when the power button is held for a couple of seconds after a brushing session.
What kind of notification should you get at 2 min? Mine’s is not doing anything ,LED is still green,no changes to let me know when it’s done
There are 3 brief pauses in the brush head movement and in turn a change to the sound. If you then turn the brush off by pressing the power button, the light ring on the neck of the brush handle cycles through several different colours to confirm 2 minutes of brushing has been achieved.
How do you set up my color on the celebration ring?
You can't control the colours on the iO5 light ring.
Are you sure it does not save the mode? Since the manual says it starts in last mode which was used.
OK so I have tested again and I can confirm it is remembering the last used mode.
I'm honestly not sure whether this has been resolved in a software update or I made an error in my testing. Either way I am happy to hold my hands up and say this bit of the video is now wrong. I will pin a comment with an update to advise this.
Great review and thank you. I bought this yesterday and haven't used it yet as it required charging overnight. Is it recommended to leave it off its charger in between charges or is it OK to leave it on at all times? Many thanks again and cheers from Sydney - David
Hi David. It is in theory fine to leave on the charger all the time, because the brush stops charging once the battery is full.
Personally I tend not to, or at least unplug the charger as you get a couple of weeks from it on a full charge. There is little evidence to say conclusively but I think you will get better long term life from the battery, if it isn't always being topped up. But, that said, it's not an issue worth stressing too much about. Do what is most convenient for you.
@@ElectricTeeth Many thanks - much appreciated. I think I'll do as you do and turn it off until it requires charging. Bit line-ball these days as you say, but still good to squeeze a bit more life out of things if you can!
As for the brush, I used it for the first time this morning and overall it was pretty good. Felt like a big upgrade from my older Braun. The AI only detected 33% on the RHS of my mouth despite it being brushed an equivalent time to the LHS. Perhaps it will "learn". Cheers and thank you - David
Yes it will learn for sure, so I am sure you will see improvements. I have noticed it seems to favour right handed brushers too, so if you brush left handed, then that can have a bearing, how much I am not sure.
Hello I noticed it has a hole in the back? Io 5. So I can clean with water or not?
Its perfectly fine to clean the brush with water. 👍
I find the vibration of sonicare irritating when the back of the head bumps against my other teeth, but I like that they are quiet. Is the IO best then? Does the whole head vibrate intensely like sonicare or is it like softer like the standard oral b?
The whole head still moves, albeit differently to Sonicare. I would generally say Sonicare brushes feel softer than Oral-B.
The iO Series models feel softer in use than the standard Oral-B models, so perhaps this would be good for you?
I like this brush but it doesn't pause after 30 seconds; am I doing something wrong?
Do you get a slight change in sound or brushing sensation for a second or 2?
If you are using the app at the same time it might not do this at 30 second intervals.
If you have connected to the app, it could be worth checking the settings to see if you have this featured turned on or off.
Thank you for the reply. I just realized it only does the pause when not using it along with the app. The app feature is great to make sure I am brushing correctly and getting all areas. Thanks again
hi @ElectricTeeth i own the IO 6 for couple years now, and realised that when i travel, since the brush has gyroscope it gets the display turned on constantly so if i travel for many hours i get to destination with almost no battery, that makes it impossible for me to take it without the charging cable. Has also the IO 5 this gyroscope/accelerometer? Im thinking to downgrading to this one if it hasnt got it. Thanks!
A great question. I have to be honest this is a tricky one for me to answer conclusively. The iO5 will turn on the lights on the handle when picked/moved with some force. However, light touches and less vigorous movement doesn't activate it. It has the gyroscope etc to make the real-time tracking work. However, I would say the sensitivity is less than the iO6. And because it doesn't have the screen there is less power draw. Do you need/want the real-time tracking?
@@ElectricTeeth thank you very much for your quick answer, and sorry for posting it duplicated in another video. Na i dont need the tracking at all, but i do use the gum clean mode, i guess you mentioned it because the iO4 hasnt got tracking right?
Yes the iO4, or the lesser featured iO3 might be worth consideration.
50% off in the UK because they need it LMAO
Hahaha good one
Mine wont charge and never used it I charged it and it been sitting 2 months in box and now its dead blinking red charger dont connect when plugged into wall and sat on base what's causing this. Its brand new iut the box from wallemgreens
This is unsual. Best return it/speak to Oral-B to get it replaced.
What does the + plus sign on each of mode options mean?
It's just how Oral-B labels modes.
I bought io 6 before and returned it. I didn't like how it switch on when I hold it. Now I'm undecided between io 5 and pro 3500. The price difference is exactly 2 times. Which one do you think I should buy?
Pro 3500. It cleans the teeth just as well. Unless you want the extra features the iO5 brings I find it harder to justify the price premium.
Great video, i was thinking of buying a iO5 as i currently have an old professional 1000, would it be worth it ?
Technically it is an upgrade. But, do you need something as capable as the iO5?
The iO3 has no Bluetooth/tracking and is cheaper but gets the same great cleaning results and pressure sensor etc.
If the Professional 1000 is still working, there's a very strong argument to keep with it. The iO5 or other brush isn't going to clean the teeth radically different.
Thanks, it because my Professional 1000 need's to be charged each 2 or 3 days so since it was on rebate for Black Friday, i'd rather pay it a lower price now than perhaps in a few months if the battery wouldn't last much. Il look into the into the iO3 then and if the heads cost is much lower than the iO5 ones.@@ElectricTeeth
OK that's fair enough if the battery is slowly failing.
Head costs are the same , but the brush handle itself is cheaper usually.
Thanks, currently a new Professional 1000 is 50$ CAD and a iO3 is 80$, i wouldn't mind paying 80$ but it's the price of the brush that are hefty, does the whitening feature of the iO 3 work well because that and the 2 min light ring pulse is what perhaps would make me go with a iO 3. @@ElectricTeeth
You are not going to achieve much better whitening or cleaning results with the iO3 compared to the Pro 1000. If whitening is your aim, you are better off looking at whitening strips etc.
As a rough guide, iO brush heads cost twice as much as the heads for the Pro 1000.
Should i get this or the oral b 7500? Which do you think is better?
'Better' depends on your personal needs/wants. They clean comparably. The iO5 has some advantages, including be a bit quieter and a touch more gentle on the teeth and gums. But, the brush heads are usually twice the price.
How to know we have completed 2mins? Does the colour changes?
At 2 minutes the brush head pauses briefly 3 times and the sound and brushing sensation changes as a result.
Once you turn the brush off, the coloured ring around the top will run through a rainbow sequence to confirm you have brushed for the right time.
Genius x or 5ios? I need it for the cleaning not features
Cleaning results are comparable. iO heads are 2x the cost of those for the Genius. So the Genius is likely going to work out better value.
Can you turn off the Bluetooth if not needed whilst the brush is on?
Yes.
Bluetooth is enabled on the iO5 toothbrush by default. You may enable/ disable Bluetooth at any time by pressing the on/off button for 5 seconds. Deactivation is indicated by a blue fade-out illumination.
@@ElectricTeeth thanks for the reply
Is this feature on all io models?
Yes, I think so (without double checking the manual for each). But , it kind of defeats one of the main selling points for the iO in the first palce.
@@ElectricTeeth thanks for help
Does have a charging light?
Yes. The light ring at the top of the brush handle will pulse when it is charging.
how much you guys paid for it? Is $85 a bargain?
We bought ours in the UK, so prices are a bit different, but $85 is a pretty decent price. 👍
You didn’t go over what the icons on the toothbrush mean/do.
The icons relate to the cleaning modes. We didn't feel it was necessary to be quite so specific about this in the video. Nonetheless.
Daily Clean - Tooth
Sensitive - Feather
Super Sensitive - Feather and the Plus (+) icon beneath the feather
Whitening - Diamond
Intense - Tooth and the Plus (+) icon beneath the tooth
In my opinion, Pro3 is highly noisy and it makes your skull shake like an earthquake whilst io5 does not do any of those.
Fair enough. We do comment on the noise, but for many people this is not a big issue and the cost savings of the Pro 3 are beneficial.
Why is the power button still on turns white eventhough I turned it off already
What do you mean exactly? You turn the brush off and the power button stays lit white constantly?
@@ElectricTeeth think they mean the power button blinking white when it’s off
Just picked this up for $60
Wow, great price.
@@ElectricTeeth Target FTW
I got it Black Friday at Walmart for $50
@@narutobroken nice that’s a great deal! Enjoy your healthy mouth!
One more con there's no tongue scrubber 😕
True. You can just pass the brush head bristles over the tongue.
How tf do I turn the mf on and off, once i turn it off I have to plug it into a station to get it to turn back on. No button presing or holding does jack shit.
Sounds like something isn't quite right with your unit. A simple press of the power button should turn the brush on. Press and hold the button for 1-2 seconds to turn it off.
First
I got it for 30€ in France. not bad
Wow that's an amazing price.
