I have an [Oral B 8000](https://www.amazon.com/Oral-B-8000-Rechargeable-Connectivity-Replenishment/dp/B01KTII3DS?th=1). The travel case has a USB port so you can charge your phone (or any other device that uses a USB cable) at the same time as your toothbrush.

husband and I have been sharing the same oral-b "genius" or whatever it's called for almost 9 years now (we have our own heads). Both of us have seen immense improvements at the dentist. idk about misuse but my oral-b has 4 different settings the dentist above mentioned (as a patch) if it's too harsh for sensitive gums. It pulses every 30 seconds until 2 minutes is up which helps me with adequate brushing. Just my experience, but maybe the model is more relevant in this situation!

It’s absolutely disgusting. I do not recommend the IO to my patients any longer because of this issue and I run the head in an ultrasonic pod weekly (as well as taking off the brush head, letting it air dry, wiping down the handle, etc. I am METICULOUS and it’s gnarly.) The Oral-B genius series is a lot easier to take care of, but it’s the old series and it’s a lot louder/clunkier of a brush but still effective. I just switched back to my BURST Pro toothbrush, which is a similar toothbrush to sonicare in terms of movements and it has a lifetime warranty if it breaks. If that’s something you’d be interested in giving a shot you could use my promo code KXBGHA. Otherwise, sonicare is also a solid brush, but I would make sure to get one with at least three intensities (which is different from modes!)

Oral B has the pressure light that I’m a big fan of. I personally use a sonicare but have purchased oral b’s for family members who needed the guidance feature. Love both, if you’re new to electric brushing both sonicare and oral B are amazing. Look for coupons for the brush heads, if you can find a great deal stock up and get that brush also

I’ve used the genius and the io in the past

I love both. I recommend oral b with the pressure indicator light- they have the market on it. I had to do surgery on my sonicare. That screw in the center notoriously is faulty. Conclusion: if you think you press too hard, or want more of a feedback on how you’re doing I recommend the oral b. If you just want an excellent brush and don’t care about the pressure go sonicare.

My oral b toothbrushes have lasted me at least 5 years each. I recommend the oral b genius Because I like the toothbrush head style more than the oral b io

That’s pretty average for an electric toothbrush. Rechargeable toothbrushes typically last much longer than replaceable battery toothbrushes, and the rechargeable batteries are more high quality than the replaceable battery versions too. I recommend an oral b genius over the oral b io. It’s cheaper and has a pressure indicator light like the io. It also uses the older “regular” style toothbrush heads (which I prefer over the new heads for the io). It should last you about 4 years too

I have the Oral-B from Costco with the round head. I really like it. I would suggest getting a water pick also

Everything I bring has to meet my size, weight, and necessity calculation. But after one 3 month trip without a water flosser, I swore I would never do it again and bought a travel one. It's neither as small or as light as I wish, but it comes with me every time. I don't use my water flosser everyday, but I have to use it a couple times a week or my gums feel awful. I upgraded my Oral-B to a USBC charger and that comes with me too.
