iO Series 9

I can advocate that they are crap for teeth hygiene! I had one for about a year and had so many issues. I've switched back to oral b io9

Another down vote on Suri. Endless issues since i switched and just switched back to the oral b io9

I’ve got the iO9 and have had non-stop battery issues since having it. It’ll just stop working ~60% charge level and has done for the 4 years I’ve had it. I put in a warranty claim to see if they could fix it but they denied it because I waited over a year to submit it. So now I have to do DIY amends and replace the battery every year because I refuse to bin a £200 toothbrush… Serves me right for being slow at complaining I guess, but I do hate to complain, I’m British…

Thing is, yes it’s true battery’s degrade and I’m totally aware of that. But Braun / OralB told me replacing the battery isn’t possible when I contacted them, they said I’d need to buy a new toothbrush. There isn’t an easy way to replace the battery, you need to kinda ‘hack’ it out of there and buy a non-standard battery you wont find in shops, only online. I only had my toothbrush for 6 months before it started giving up at 60%. I only charge it when it runs out of battery as my charger is away from the bathroom, so that’s every 4-5 days. Hardly taxing on the battery. For this toothbrush to be truly BIFL it would need to be easier to replace the battery in my opinion. I can’t recommend it.

Yep it’s an iO9, I used this video here to replace the battery: https://youtu.be/KA_yf5XpWBs?si=KgKjMpPxCROcWSm1 Agreed it’s not a hard fix, but it’s not suggested by OralB and for most consumers they wouldn’t bother doing it and just buy a new brush… The battery needed is a 14500 li-ion battery which I’ve never seen in a physical shop in the UK, I tried but couldn’t find one, had to order online. Again adding another hurdle to fixing the brush. I was more upset because the iO9 replaced an old rechargeable OralB which I literally had for 10 years and never had to touch the battery, that brush cost £20 instead of the £200 iO9 one.

Oral B IO series 5-7 is what I usually recommend to my patients. I use the oral b IO series 9 (received that free from a rep). But I try to understand cost with giving my patients a high quality recommendation. But love it!!! Has a 2 minute timer, oscillates which I think is more beneficial, pressure sensor, bunch of different settings, quieter than most.

Oral B...specifically Oral B iO (have the series 9–goes to series 10). Cosmetic dentist recommended a basic model but I told him I'd been using the expensive Series 9 iO for 2 years.

Ja osobiście używaj io9 od 3 lat i jest to jeden z najlepszych zakupów w moim życiu. Czyści tak dobrze że przestałem myć zęby 2 razy dziennie i nie widzę żadnych problemów, ale pomaga też fakt że nie jem w ogóle słodyczy

Tannlegen min anbefalte også elektrisk tannbørste, men det burde være av den dyrere sorten. Oral-B iO 9 eller høyere. Dyr som fan, men definitivt en oppgradering fra de som koster 200 kr på tilbud

Interestingly, the (Braun) OralB iO are made in Germany, at least the io9 I got from an auction is. P&G is a garbage company, but I have no intention of purchasing the original branded heads, which is what they are actually making money on. (there even is a local company specializing on making the "aftermarket" heads) It's worth noting that all the recent scientific literature seems to be pointing towards oralb having better results, specifically the oscillating-rotating with micro vibrations.

I actually love the feeling. I feel like my teeth are WAY cleaner. I like the oral B series 9 I think it is? I became so fixated on getting 100% on the app that you can get. It made brushing my teeth way more fun

I recently jumped the fence to Oral B. So far, so good. And Sonicare was starting to give me gum recession (maybe I’m just getting old). The Oral B feels more gentle on the gums.

Ours were all the top of the range at the respective time of purchase. Ditched Sonicare for an Oral B io9. One month in, been great so far and the wife loves it. Only thing to get used to was the head is slightly bigger.

Same here!!! Tried them all and finally happy with Laifen. Oral B iO series aren’t worth the price tag! I had iO9 and never use any smart features… like who has the time… and it died after a year. Got a new replacement, and this one was on the way out too after a year… so yeah. Happy with the Laifen stainless steel for nearly 2 years now
