If the time has come to replace your electric toothbrush with an updated model, you’re in luck.
Amazon has reduced the cost of the Oral-B iO4 Electric Toothbrush For Adults from £270 to £89.98, with a saving of £180 – according to shoppers it’s the ‘best electric toothbrush’ they have ever owned.
The rechargeable toothbrush , which has a 4.5 out of five star rating, currently has 67 per cent off at Amazon and features a gum guard, smart pressure sensor, and a choice of four brushing modes (these are Daily Clean, Whitening, Sensitive, and Super Sensitive). Oral-B also claims that after starting to use this toothbrush, you will “remove 100 per cent more plaque and up to 160 per cent in between teeth vs a manual toothbrush”.
The dental specialists also add that using this toothbrush will allow you to “track and improve your brushing habits over time with the Oral-B app”. While the iO Pressure Sensor will “signal if you are applying the perfect pressure for an effective and safe clean”, and the iO Lightning Timer ensures that you get the “dentist recommended 2-minute brush”.
The Oral-B electric toothbrush comes in three colours
According to the product description, the iO 4 electric toothbrush “features Oral-B’s best technology, combining a dentist-inspired round brush head with micro-vibrating bristles for a professional purifying clean feel at home”.
The toothbrush is a popular pick with shoppers. One reviewer said: “I love this toothbrush – it makes far less noise and your teeth feel fantastically clean following a 2 minute brush. As gimmicky as I might sound – I recommend the app too; time your brushes and get your daily flossing and tongue cleaning reminders.”
A second wrote: “Best electric toothbrush I’ve bought for some time. Really good at getting in between teeth.” While a third wrote: “This version has all you need for a clean that feels professionally done. Charging takes 23 hours but once charged lasts for weeks. Good price compared to the newer versions.”
An additional shopper explained that they were pleased that the electric toothbrush “flags up areas not being brushed”. While another impressed reviewer said: “This is the best electric toothbrush I have ever owned. Teeth feel so clean for so long. Excellent purchase.”
But not everyone was as impressed, with a handful of reviewers mentioning the battery not lasting as long as it could do (especially when using the app) and taking a while to charge.
One person shared: “The tooth brush cleans my teeth well but the battery doesn’t last long at all, about one week. It was particularly bad when I first bought it until I did a software update.” Another added: “I bought this a year ago and it’s good. It just needs the battery to last longer.” Someone else agreed: “Pros- a really good clean. Teeth feel like I’ve just been at the dental hygienist after a 2 minute brush with this. cons- didn’t read the earlier reviews and so caught out by the charger!”
