iO Series 9
Budget best in slot.
This is the best pick within the budget I was willing to spend. There may be better alternatives out there, but they're not worth it to me.
Why it's here
Revised Mar 2026It cleans well. The pressure sensor is genuinely useful and stopped me brushing too hard, which my dentist noticed. That's the entire list of good things.
Everything else about it is a mess. There's a screen on a toothbrush. There's an app that wants to gamify brushing my teeth. The charging base is proprietary. Replacement heads are priced like printer ink and the brush nags you to replace them early.
I'd genuinely love to be talked out of this one. If there's a quiet, well-built electric toothbrush with a pressure sensor, reasonable replacement heads and no screen, I want to know about it.
