Oral-B iO Series 6 Duo Electric Toothbrush - Black Onyx And Light Rose
Individual price for the iO6 is normally around $200-220 (we all know the $529 RRP is bullshit).
Amazon Germany seems to have the duo pack for $330.
Duo pack contains one charger. The standard Oral B charger you may already have will work.
iO series vs Pro:
* Cleans teeth differently with a new motor that is also quieter. See below for other new features.
* Unlike the Pro, the basic teeth cleaning function is the same on all iO models, so the difference is the new modes and tech features (both somewhat gimmicky to most).
* Harder to clean the actual toothbrush and will develop mould between head and handle if not cleaned and dried properly after use.
* Replacement heads are expensive at $10 each (when half price), or go down the Temu rabbit hole if you wish.
Comparison between iO models here but essentially each model adds the following features and generally one additional mode (whitening, tongue cleaning, etc):
* iO2
* iO3: slightly quieter, better pressure sensor indicator
* iO4
* iO5: small display, zone tracking
* iO6: larger display
* iO7: magnetic charger w/ quicker charging
* iO8: colour display
* iO9-10: individual tooth tracking
Anecdotally, some people said their teeth felt cleaner with the iO or were ambivalent about the difference. The negative feedback generally related to the two points mentioned above, not about the actual teeth cleaning.
The iOs I saw in store (Colesworth, Chemist Warehouse) all mentioned a 180 money back guarantee on the box. I don’t know if this one does.
Edit to add: those in NSW, only Casula and Marsden Park have stock in store. Same price.
Never thought so much could be written about toothbrush ☺
I might have to try out on someone's spare head and see what all this fuss is about.
