Oral-B iO Series 3 Limited Electric Toothbrush

I have tried all the expensive toothbrushes out there and normally I stick with Phillips, but I decided on a whim to purchase this one. Best decision ever! The price point is great and the quality of the product amazing. It’s not so fancy that you don’t know what to do with it but just enough to tell you what you’re doing wrong or right. Great life battery and low charging time, it has excellent power and no noise at all.

This is by far the best toothbrush I have ever owned. My teeth feel amazing after brushing them!

After years of using a Philips Sonicare unit, it finally died (internal switch failure not under warranty). So I went the cheaper route and bought an Oral B simple unit for less than $50. It’s been fine but I have to say the force is aggressive and sometimes my gums are not so happy after using this. Jumped on the “io3” and the level of vibration is much faster yet so much gentler. Cleanser faster too. Heads of course are more expensive and proprietary to the IO series of tooth brushes but that’s OK. Nice head case and travel case included.

Someone has already said this and, yes, it does get a bit too slippery unlike my previous one that seemed to be rubber coated. It’s a bit big for me but it does the job. I like the different lights when using different pressures. This is helpful.

I thought this was a little gimmicky with all the lights/flashy things when you’re just trying to quietly brush your teeth either in the morning when you just woke up or at night when you’re about to go to bed and neither times really want lights in your face. I bought it anyway because the colour is cute and it was on sale. The flashy lights aren’t all that bright or in your face as I thought it might be, so thumbs up to that.

I think kids would really enjoy/benefit from this toothbrush because it turned the chore of brushing your teeth into a game. It goes green when you have the right pressure on, white when the pressure’s too light and red when you’ve pressed too hard. And the timer tells you when to switch to a new quadrant of your teeth. Once you’ve reached the time you’re supposed to be brushing your teeth and stop, you’re rewarded with rainbow lights! …okay fine, still gimmicky, but I’m good with it.

I know this has different settings for sensitivity, deep cleaning, tongue cleaning and daily cleaning but I’ve yet to venture outside of daily cleaning – for those who want to change up the game, option is there.

SIDE NOTE: I read one review that said this leaked and a toothpaste-y mess would run down the whole thing while you brushed your teeth. Mine doesn’t do that at all.

LAST SIDE NOTE: This takes a different brush head than the regular oral-B which kind of sucks because I was buying bulk from costco.

It has pressure sensors if you are an agrresive brusher and the light turns red to alert you to ease up. Different speeds and timer that turns off after 2 minutes. Great purchase and easy to travel with and holds a charge. I took it with me for 5 days without the charging base and no problem! My teeth feel so much cleaner than a regular brush and gets in the hard to reach places. I like how it spins and not just vibrates to clean!

Works great!!!
