After my dentist recommended upgrading to an electric toothbrush, I invested in the Oral-B iO Series 7000 in sleek black. Two years later, I can confidently say this has transformed my oral hygiene – zero cavities, professional-level cleanings, and noticeably smoother teeth. What Makes It Special: - Dentist-Grade Cleaning: The unique round head with micro-vibrations removes plaque my manual brush missed - Enamel-Smart Technology: Powerful yet gentle – no gum irritation despite daily use - Interactive Display: Shows real-time pressure sensors to prevent over-brushing - 7 Brushing Modes: Includes sensitive gum care and whitening cycles - Size: not too much larger than the standard toothbrush My Results After 16 Months: • No new cavities (after getting 1 years before switching) • Dentist comments on "remarkably less plaque buildup" • Noticeably whiter teeth without bleaching treatments • Gums no longer bleed during flossing Pro Setup: For optimal results, I pair it with: 1. Fluoride mouthwash (as my dentist suggested) 2. Oral-B Gum Care toothpaste 3. The tongue cleaner attachment Learning Curve: - First week felt strange after manual brushing for years - App connectivity helps perfect technique (but isn't necessary) - Requires charging every ~10 days Who Should Invest: - Anyone prone to cavities - People with gum sensitivity - Those wanting a dental-grade clean at home Minor Drawbacks: - Replacement heads are pricey (but last 3 months) - Travel case could be more compact This isn't just a toothbrush – it's preventive dental care. While the upfront cost seems high, I've saved more on dental bills than the brush cost. If you'll use it properly, your dentist will notice the difference. Worth every penny for a lifetime of better oral health. Read more
Good brand, does the work and improves on proper hygiene. Without a doubt, the brand and quality is the best one out there in the market. Toothbrush replacement heads are a bit pricey. There are other ones I suggest to do research to get better pricing and they do the same work. Read more
Do not buy this product, unless you fully understand what will take place. They have a two year warranty, but unfortunately the battery life will only last 2 1/2 years. Not covered under warranty. So you’re paying about $100 a year for a toothbrush. this is a follow up from my comment above talk to the customer service and they were more than happy to have me send mine in repair and send it back.

The toothbrush worked well. The quality of brush and variety of settings are nice and the circular motion works better than other formats of electric toothbrush. The design is also sleek. It has two stars for one really inconvenient reason: the power system. It stopped charging properly barely 2-3 months of using it. It turned off completely for a long time, came back on, but now doesn't work properly even if the screen indicates "100%" battery level. Sometimes it says 10% or even 0% battery and it works for hours... I will charge it for 30m, 1 hour, 4h, what ever hour, and it will still turn off and say "no battery." At times, I will not charge it for a 4d-1w and it will magically have a charge again... their toothbrush head and contact point design traps too much moisture and bacteria begins to grow on the toothbrush as well. (Mark Twain's Review is really accurate of the experience!!) My partner has a Philips toothbrush. She always laughs at me as we are brushing our teeth. I am brushing mine manual as she is brushing hers automatically... I don't recommend IO anymore, unless they fix these little things. Read more
Funny to think that years ago we wouldn't have dreamed of having a computer built right into our toothbrush. I't just some bristles on the end of a plastic handle, right? I'd say it's hard to justify the price for this toothbrush, but to be honest I can't. To me it's worth every penny. The last visit to the dentist had the hygienist telling me that my gums looked better than the previous visit; that's enough to convince me that the extra tech that has gone into the iO 7 was worth the extra I had to pay to get it. It's quieter than the old Oral B Pro that I had, and leaves my teeth feeling a LOT cleaner. The brushing action has the familiar oscillation but also incorporates micro vibrations, which help remove anything that shouldn't be on the surface of your teeth. The accompanying app. (which you download onto the phone) helps encourage good brushing habits, and maps out your teeth into 6 different 'zones' monitoring the time spent on each, as well as brushing your tongue, rinsing, flossing, etc. I used the for the first few days, but sometimes you just want to brush your teeth and get it over with, ya know? The app. also awards you with medals for different behaviours, and I can see how having a simple reward system like that can also encourage good dental hygiene. The charging stand has been redesigned, and the 'peg' from the Pro charging stand has been removed, and a strong magnet built in to hold the brush upright and in place. This is a huge improvement, and results in a much cleaner charging stand (if you've used the Pro for any length of time you'll know what I mean!). The replacement heads aren't the cheapest, but replacing one every three months is not the end of the world for a healthy smile. I consider my money well spent. Read more
