Oral-B iO Series 2 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush

Scrubs teeth like a bugger

Oral b is the best for your pearly whites

I was an avid user of Oral B products until I tried another brand a few years ago. Oral-B products operate on an oscillating movements rather than a sonic ones. I personally owned the Oral-B Triumph and Vitality and used both of them for years until I got bored using them and wanted something different. Meaning they actually lasted. I have faith that this one will last too. I was super excited when this came on my vine list to see what the hype was about.

The toothbrush has multiple modes on it to cater to different levels of gum and tooth sensitivity. I found the power of the toothbrush was excellent. In order to test this brush out I didn’t brush for a day and a half to see how good it was at sweeping plaque away. It did an impeccable job cleaning my teeth and I didn’t find the motor too aggressive on my teeth. It has a light pressure sensor but no audio pressure sensor. Meaning you have to actively watch your brush to see if you are green or red. Red indicates you are brushing too hard.

I do feel like it didn’t get under my gum line very well like some of the sonic brushes can. This is because the brushes really don’t have varied thickness bristles and a mix of short and tall on the head. I really really want Oral-B to consider this when designing new heads. All of them seem the same. Even the sensitive gum designs are very firm compared to competitors. It looks like they tried to do short and tall on this design but when the firmness is identical, it defeats the purpose.

Overall even with the hiccups on bristle design, I really still enjoyed the brush. With good flossing it didn’t matter about gum line plaque removal. The brush does all of the work so if you have issues with dexterity this is an ideal product. I will be getting these for my older parents to see if it improves their oral health.

I actually adore this toothbrush. I really didn’t think it would make much of a difference in my dental health but I was blown away by deep cleaning this thing really is. I’ve had other similar products in the past but this one is actually incredibly good. It really removes every trace of plaque from your teeth, it’s like having a full dental cleaning.

The timer on this thing is great, it lets you know when to move to another quadrant and also warns you when you are applying too much pressure. This is the sort of brush that you don’t actively brush with. You just leave it in place and let it do the work, moving as it tells you. It’s incredibly powerful and has multiple settings for more sensitive teeth as well.

It holds a charge for weeks at a time, has a small unobtrusive charging dock and the heads are super easy to replace. This brush should honestly cost a lot more than it does for how well it works. It’s even small and light enough to use for travel.

This is 100% my favorite brush ever. The replacement heads are affordable and I will be using this brush from now on. I really recommend this product. I can’t believe how much better my teeth feel now that I’ve been using it for a month.

I switched to electric brushes a awhile ago when my dentist told me if he had to pick between someone flossing every day or getting an electric toothbrush, he’d pick the electric toothbrush! I’ve tried and killed or lost a few of them now, and can definitely tell a difference when I clean with electric vs. manual.

This is the “entry” level for Oral B electric toothbrushes, but to be honest it is everything you really need and the fancier ones are just extra bells and whistles.

I love the oscillating brushes on this toothbrush, I’ve tried other electric brushes in the past but you trade off a bit from having really clean tooth by tooth brushing vs a bit faster and broader brushing. I like that this brush notifies you every 30 seconds to shift the toothbrush as it’s surprisingly easy to just zone out and clean the same area over and over, and it has a 2 minute timer so I don’t feel like I’m skipping out too early or standing around debating if I’ve done enough.

The battery is good – if you forget to charge it you can still get about a week of brushes out of it. That’s nice if you want to take it on vacation without dragging the charger along as well.

I think this is a great entry to an electric toothbrush and a good value!
