Rechargeable electric toothbrush iO Series 5 by Oral-B, which combines unique design with artificial intelligence technology for professional daily care and cleaning of teeth.
The internal mechanism operates with powerful but gentle micro-vibrations and generates frictionless and noiseless magnetic movements. It transfers the micro-vibrations to the tips of the bristles for optimal cleaning, as well as microwaves for a sensation of freshness and cleanliness in the mouth and gums.

Effective, beautiful, and convenient! I love this toothbrush along with the accompanying app. I brush more thoroughly and quickly. I like the small screen and the greeting smile! It is lightweight! I would prefer a different color case and for the battery to last longer.
I wonder why I hadn't gotten an electric toothbrush all these years. I would have saved myself from so many root canals due to poor brushing. It's nothing like the manual one where you had to apply pressure and brush for at least 5-6 minutes to feel clean.
If you exclude that if more than one person uses it, there is a difficulty in distinguishing whose brush is whose (the simple ones have colored rings), it is very good, almost silent (very good if you brush your teeth late at night), very good at cleaning teeth. I will come back in a few months when I have used it to see the battery life as well.
Transition from a conventional toothbrush to an electric one... The difference is truly enormous! It cleans much better, although it needs to be charged for 12 hours, it lasts for one week with brushing twice a day. The app is useful as it guides you quite well, although there are times when it doesn't immediately recognize the starting tooth. The only downside is that it is bulkier compared to a regular toothbrush for someone who travels frequently
It is the third Oral-B that I buy and it is superior to the previous ones. It cleans deeply and the app really helps in effective cleaning. However, the battery lasts less since it is connected to Bluetooth.
After reading a user review for the iO Series 9 here on skroutz, I decided to go for the iO Series 5 with less money (purchased for €75) as it offers a great quality/price opportunity.
- Very powerful, no comparison to the €20 Oral-B electric toothbrushes.
- Supports the Oral-B app for monitoring brushing in the 6 coverage zones (just like the iO 6, iO 7, iO 8, iO 9, iO 10 models).
- 5 basic brushing options that personally "cover" me:
- Daily Clean,
- Intense Clean,
- Sensitive,
- Super-Sensitive, ⬅
- Whitening
(I also believe that the Super Sensitive and Gum Care functions are tricks by the company to make the product more appealing - as mentioned in the review I read).
For comparison, let me mention the functions of the iO Series 6 (+€20 difference):
- Daily Clean,
- Intense Clean,
- Sensitive,
- Gum Care, ⬅
- Whitening
And I want to point out the only difference I noticed in their features.
So, I feel very satisfied with the choice I made!
A real budget option!
I highly recommend it without hesitation.
Charging took me about 12-13 hours.
(I will update on battery life)
I had never used an electric toothbrush before, but I have to say that it was definitely worth the money. There is no comparison to how well I clean my teeth now.
One positive aspect is the companion app that guides you through brushing.
It needs to be charged every 5 days or so (with 2-3 three-minute uses per day). I think it could last longer, but it's not a major issue.
Years user Oral B Pro 3 3500, before Oral B Pro 750 and before a Soocas X3U and an older generation Sonicare. All oral B generally clean teeth very well. After a certain point, you simply pay for design and extra functions, most of which are useless, such as connectivity with mobile phones, etc. I lost the base of the pro 3 3500 and found it as an excuse to get something new.
The brushing experience is different with the iO compared to conventional Oral B brushes, as you don't feel the brush making rotational movements but vibrating like a mobile phone, something like a combination of oral b and sonicare.
I think it cleans just as well as conventional oral B brushes, if not better, with the following differences:
+
1) By connecting to the app, you can achieve better coverage of all teeth compared to the feeling you had on your own. This increased my brushing time from 2 minutes to about 2.45 in order to have full coverage.
2) Much quieter - no longer sounds like a tractor.
3) Through the app, you have an accurate battery status, so you don't run out in the middle of brushing like with the Pro 3500 I had.
-
1) More expensive replacement parts.
2) The battery seems to last even less than the Pro 3500, but the longer brushing time and Bluetooth connectivity definitely play a role.
3) The app is not the best - sometimes it needs to be closed and reopened to connect to the toothbrush.
In conclusion, I think it balances functions and cost very well and is one of the cheaper io models with Bluetooth (purchased for about 90 euros).
Next-generation toothbrush, brushing teeth easier and more efficient than ever. It is definitely worth it, especially compared to the Series 7, which is twice the price. The most important thing that is missing is the 3-hour charging time. This one lasts for 2 weeks with a 16-hour charge and approximately 3 minutes of use each time, about 6 minutes daily. The body of the toothbrush is made of black matte material that does not hold salt. The previous one was ruined by salt. It does not have the hello and goodnight feature of the Series 7, but it notifies you by flashing lights every time it senses you are close. The replacement brushes in black color, gentle care, are hard to find, but with the ultimate cleaning ones, there is no problem, although you can't find them in supermarkets either.
The toothbrush is quite good and worth its money. It is quite powerful and the app works well. I don't think anyone needs to buy the more expensive models unless they are gadget enthusiasts. My comparison is based on a model I bought 3 years ago for 40 euros.
