**CORRECTION** - The iO5 does remember the last cleaning mode used. (1:38)

[basarcyhn]

There are few things that needs to be fixed.
1- It doesn't quite detect where I'm brushing. It takes 3-4 minutes to reach 100% coverage even though I brush 100%
2- It splashes everywhere. You have to keep your mouth closed and it’s hard to brush some areas with closed mouth.
3- After 2 minutes you can’t pause toothbrush to spit. It stops your brushing session and gives you low brushing point.
4- Toothpaste disappears after first area and you continue your brushing without toothpaste or little toothpaste

I'm in the first months with the IO5. The App / Brush communications are terrible. The brush itself does a wonderful job. Using the App for position tracking is spotty at best with the upper right section being the default position detected. It takes at least 3 minutes to get 100% coverage in all of the six zones. Some times I get a scolding for brushing past 4 minutes trying to get the coverage. Additionally, although the session indicates 100% coverage with all the flashing lights, the session may or not be recorded and may show-up on the previous day. The support website lists these as being a problem they are working on????🤐🤐

Thank you for the reviews!
I wanted to replace my Oral B Vitality to a quiter model and found your research regarding the noise rate. I knew that the budget models are always louder, but I was surprised to know that my model is really that loud. Then I decided to check io4 and io5, and I like the way you review products. Thank you for that.
I wanted to purchase io4 as I expected it to be cheaper, but didn't find it. So, I will buy io5 for around 85$. Then I will share my experience regarding the noise rate comparison and other things.

I really do love this tooth brush, looking forward to greater oral health for many decades to come

I’ve just got mine, thanks to your reviews. I didn’t know what to choose between io 3-4-5-6. And I’ve got io5 at the end, and as I’m from Europe I paid the IO5N version 180€ 😢 IO3 was half price, but I was too tempted by the Bluetooth connectivity and all the extras in app to opt for the io 5

I love your tooth shaped manual toothbrush holder. I wish I knew about that when I was using a manual toothbrush.

[x-STORMXX-x]

Thanks for all the info... after watching many of videos of Electric Teeth and others I have placed and order for a i05. I have been using manual toothbrushes all my life and well I always brush in the morning I find myself from time to time skipping the brush before bed after a long day so I hope the now getting a electric brush I can just hold and move around with out a lot of back and forth will get me brushing more before bed. I'm happy to hear about it saving the last cleaning mode used and the fact it will tell me when to replace the brush heads. I think I will like the images for the menu as well and well the brush heads are like $30 give or take a few bucks that for 12 months so after looking at the 1500 I just got the i05 as I think this will be the best for my wants and use case but, I do think you're right that the 1500 is a great bang for buck.

solid and very informative video, good work for real

[rinagoren]

I have 3 toothbrushes of the new models, and all of them had a problem with the battery in a short time

[rodrigoespejel]

Hi Jon, good morning and happy Sunday! I want to ask kindly you a question about this particular model. I just bought via Amazon as a replacement of a Philips Sonicare 5100 that I had, because sadly the metal end broke internally. I was very surprised with the first use of the Oral-B iO Series 5 (before first using it, I left it charged for +16 hours, as instructed), but the thing that I noticed was that the battery drained very quickly after each session (my usual time of use is between 2 to 2:20 minutes, and I do brush my teeth 3 times per day), and after 5 days of usage, the battery was at 22% and the “Low Power” notification appeared on the app. So my question is it is normal that battery life lasts that short in accordance to my usage or is something wrong with the device? Also, I asked you this because with the Sonicare, the battery lasted for 10 days, with the same usage as I mentioned before. As a parenthesis I’m a huge fan from Mexico of your channel and it has been very helpful and informative your videos; thank you in advance for your kind support and I will remain attentive to your comments 😊

Nice video…mines on charge now…will review in the morning 🎉

[abnerbeebee]

Should I purchase the Oral-B Sensitive Toothbrush heads or just use the sensitive setting on the brush with the accompanying tooth brush head?

[gigidope]

I’m deciding between this and the 7000 series 🤷‍♂️

[carolinecanada]

Hello! I have a question— I have sensitive gums and my dentist recommends using a soft toothbrush head. Since this toothbrush has 2 modes for sensitivity (Sensitive and Super sensitive) would you suggest keeping the current brush head that comes with the toothbrush and clean in those modes or get a sensitive toothbrush head and continue using the sensitive modes? Thanks!

[smurfeco.]

Mines lasted 14 days before it doesnt change modes . Now to deal with warranty 120 bucks so it can do this seems a bit off

[Sergio-surt]

Thank you for the reviews! What would be better Oral-B iO 5N vs Oral-B Pro 3 3000? Thx

[olenronning]

I find the vibration of sonicare irritating when the back of the head bumps against my other teeth, but I like that they are quiet. Is the IO best then? Does the whole head vibrate intensely like sonicare or is it like softer like the standard oral b?

[cristianmuresan]

I just bought two of these with 90 euros in Romania.

[didney_worl]

Are you sure it does not save the mode? Since the manual says it starts in last mode which was used.
