  • Most features

    Oral-B iO10: iOSense charger display, 7 modes

    The iOSense charging station shows where, how long and with how much pressure you brushed, without opening the app.

    Check price on AmazonAffiliate link

Every Oral-B iO brush shares the same round head and magnetic drive, so the step from one model to the next is about extras. Higher models add more modes, a colour display, a charging travel case instead of a plain one, and on the iO10 a charger that shows feedback through iOSense. Lower models keep the pressure sensor and app support at a lower cost. This guide lines up the iO10, iO9, iO8, iO7, iO6 and iO5 using only what each Amazon listing states: number of modes, display, how pressure is signalled, charging and case, app support and heads in the box. Some listings leave details out, so where a feature is not stated we say so. Decide which extra you would use daily, then pick the lowest model that has it.

The products in detail

No. 1 · Oral-B

Oral-B iO6: Sensitive and Super-Sensitive modes, display

The iO6 names both Sensitive and Super-Sensitive modes and adds a three-way pressure sensor and display. The clearest gentle-mode choice in the Oral-B range here.

In its favour

  • Five named modes: Daily Clean, Intense Clean, Sensitive, Super-Sensitive and Whitening.
  • The iO pressure sensor signals too hard, too soft or just right, and the display shows time and battery level.
  • Spare heads and a travel case or brush head holder are included, and the app tracks where you brush.

Good to know

  • Oral-B says the battery lasts for days but gives no exact figure.
  • The case is not described as a charging case, and the charger is two-pin with no adapter.

No. 2 · Oral-B

Oral-B iO10: iOSense charger display, 7 modes

The iO10 combines a charging travel case with its iOSense charging station at home. Note this listing is an international product.

In its favour

  • The iOSense charging station shows where, how long and with how much pressure you brushed, without opening the app.
  • Seven cleaning modes, a colour display and AI position detection with 3D tracking across 16 zones are listed.
  • A charging travel case is included, so the handle can top up on the move.

Good to know

  • The listing is an international product sold from abroad, so plug, labelling and instructions may differ from UK stock.
  • Battery life and the number of brush heads in the box are not stated on the page.

No. 3 · Oral-B

Oral-B iO9 Special Edition: charging case and magnetic pouch

This iO9 Special Edition ships with a charging travel case and a magnetic pouch, plus 7 modes and a coloured display.

In its favour

  • Seven modes and a coloured interactive display, with a pressure sensor listed in the product specs.
  • Comes with a charging travel case and a magnetic pouch, so you have two ways to carry it.
  • AI position detection tracks brushing across all three tooth surfaces, according to Oral-B.

Good to know

  • Only one brush head is included, so spares are an early extra purchase.
  • Two-pin charger only and no adapter in the box; battery life is not stated in days.

No. 4 · Oral-B

Oral-B iO8: pressure sensor, display, 3 hour fast charger

The iO8 combines a display, app tracking and a three-way pressure sensor with a 3 hour fast charger. It suits buyers who like quick top-ups more than a charging case.

In its favour

  • The iO pressure sensor signals if you brush too hard, too soft or just right.
  • The display selects modes, tracks time, shows battery level and tells you when to replace the head.
  • A 3 hour fast charger and a travel case are included, and the app tracks where you brush in real time.

Good to know

  • The title says 6 modes but a bullet mentions 5 cleaning modes, so the exact count is unclear from the listing.
  • The travel case is not described as a charging case, and only one brush head is included.

No. 5 · Oral-B

Oral-B iO5: 5 modes incl. Sensitive, smart pressure sensor

The iO5 lists Sensitive and Super Sensitive modes and a smart pressure sensor with three colours. A simpler Oral-B choice with a travel case.

In its favour

  • Five modes listed by name, including Sensitive and Super Sensitive for a softer setting.
  • The smart pressure sensor shows red, white or green for too hard, too soft or the right pressure.
  • A travel case and a spare head are in the box, and AI guidance helps you cover all your teeth.

Good to know

  • No display is mentioned in the listing, so mode and battery details are less visible than on the iO6 and up.
  • Battery life is not stated, and the charger is two-pin with no adapter included.

No. 6 · Oral-B

Oral-B iO7: 5 modes, display, 3 hour fast charger

The iO7 keeps the display, app and fast charger of the iO8 with five modes. A practical step down if you do not need extra modes.

In its favour

  • Five cleaning modes chosen on the display, which also tracks brushing time, head changes and battery level.
  • A 3 hour fast charger and a travel case are included for trips.
  • The app tracks how and where you brush in real time, and the specs list Bluetooth and a pressure sensor.

Good to know

  • The travel case is a plain case, not a charging one, so take the charger on longer trips.
  • Only one brush head comes in the box and battery life in days is not stated.
