Oral-B iO3 Electric Toothbrush, 2 Toothbrush Heads, Pressure Sensor, Toothbrush for Adults with Travel Case, Gift Ideas for Him/Her, Matt Black, 2 pin plug

The toothbrush is very high quality and does a great job at cleaning teeth. Where it falls down, in my eyes anyway, is in the instruction pamphlet. I believe it's intended to cater for international users, regardless of language, and for all different versions of IO toothbrushes. The main pamphlet has some very confusing diagrams, as well as some fairly obvious ones; such as to look at the side of the packaging to see what modes are available in the Series 3. Unfortunately, there is nothing at all on the side of the packaging, so I looked elsewhere. A card is included specifically for the IO Series 3 which in one diagram shows three modes (correct) and below shows under a heading "Customize", four modes. If there is the ability to customize it, I haven't found it. When started up, there is no indication of which mode the toothbrush is in, you have to gauge the sound. There is nothing in the instructions to say what happens to the mode when you switch off - does it revert to mode 1, or does it start up in the mode you were using when you switched it off? There were different answers in various sites online. So, I contacted Oral B and they confirmed that the last mode used is the mode selected when starting up again. Beware if you see that the toothbrush can be reset by pressing the power button for 10 seconds - it just goes off and cannot be switched on again unless you place it back in the charger! I was informed that reset should not be used and would never be required. Also that it is not a travel lock, the series 3 does not have one. Furthermore, you may see online that it can connect to the Oral B app - it can't as it hasn't got Bluetooth, but that is most certainly not a negative for me. Having said all that, the toothbrush works extremely well. I have delicate gums so used mode 2 (gentle) and it cleaned my teeth really well, the feeling that I get after a visit to the hygienist. It is far more thorough than a manual brush, and was very kind to my gums. To be fair, I soon got to recognise which mode was which, but it would help enormously if there was some form of indication on the brush as to which mode was in use. This was explained to me that not every toothbrush in their range can have the same facilities, otherwise there would be no price range - and I get that. It needn't be fancy, just a graphic would do. But, once used to the brush, such things wouldn't be an issue. All-in-all, this is a great toothbrush and I got it at a great price from Amazon (way below the RRP), so I will forgive Oral B for the poor instructions enclosed and just enjoy having very clean teeth. Highly recommended.

Excellent product. Quiet and efficient. Cleans teeth well with good battery life.

Bought these to replace our Oral-B Pro 3's, and at first was disappointed to see that the iO uses a different brush head. However because they flare out at the base and don't have the plastic ridge and coloured band of regular Oral-B heads, the iO heads are much cleaner and more hygienic - there's nowhere for toothpaste to hide and they rinse off effortlessly. The iO is also much quieter than the Pro, and while it takes a little getting used ot the different style of vibration, it definitely feels nicer and like it's doing a more effective job cleaning. I got the pair of iO3 toothbrushes for £80 in a Prime sale - at this price these toothbrushes are great value. Battery life is lasting well so far, but Oral-B toothbrushes always have good battery life to start with, it's a few months down the line when you see if they'll last the long haul.

Excellent electric toothbrush. Best one I’ve ever used. Love the flashy lights too! My gums feel much better as it has three settings to include gentle, sensitive mode. Enjoy cleaning my teeth more than ever!

Very good toothbrush, powerful so teeth feel very clean. Charges fast too and battery lasts ages.

Bought this to replace older Oral B toothbrush. It is much quieter and longer lasting battery. Tooth cleaning experience is great and seems more effective. ( I guess the dentist/hygenist will let me know when I've saved enough money for a visit!) Shame that Braun / Oral B pack two brushes of the same colour in the package I bought. No colour indicators as with previous versions

Great product very good value for money and yes it does the job very easy to use and a great price on amazon uk order was on time

The IO3 doesn’t have all the options of the more expensive models in the IO range, but it still brushes your teeth using the vibrating brush action. So, unless you want the functions offered by the more expensive versions, I recommend this make / model. Only caveat is that I don’t notice when the battery is getting low and needs charging… I only notice when the power light is red when and the toothbrush is completely discharged and immediately turns off, usually mid brush. Not sure if it’s a fault or me not paying attention!
