Oral-B iO Series 9 Electric Toothbrush, Aquamarine, Rechargeable Toothbrush with (4) iO Brush Heads and Travel Case

Bought it last year as a Christmas gift and the battery is now done …. It did not last a great deal! We all use oral b for years, this is the first time battery life is so short

If you're debating between the Oral-B iO Series 6 and Series 9, I get it—I was in your shoes not too long ago! As someone who travels frequently for work, I invested in both, hoping to streamline my packing routine. I thought I’d just be dealing with a few tweaks here and there, but wow, was I wrong. First, let’s talk brushing performance. Both models use Oral-B's "magnetic iO technology," which combines oscillating-rotating and micro-vibrations for an experience that feels more like ultrasonic brushing than the older Oral-B series. After each session, I’m left with that fresh-from-the-dentist smoothness, and yes, both models deliver equally in that department. If the actual brushing is what matters most to you, the Series 6 holds up well. But once you start looking at the extras, the Series 9 really starts to shine. Let's talk about the charging setup. The Series 6 has a basic charger—functional, but nothing to write home about. In contrast, the Series 9’s charger feels like it could double as a paperweight in a windstorm; it’s sturdy and, dare I say, elegant. And for those constantly on the go, here’s where the Series 9 really scores big: its case isn’t just a case; it's practically a mini power station! The travel case for the Series 6 feels flimsy, like something you’d get in a happy meal, but the Series 9’s case could probably survive a fall down a mountain (though I’m not volunteering to test that). Battery life is where the Series 9 once again pulls ahead. I can usually go about two weeks without recharging with both models, but the extended battery life with the Series 9 means I could probably escape into the wilderness and brush my teeth for a month with power to spare. (Hello, camper toothbrush!) And let’s get to the tracking tech, my fellow data nerds. The Series 6 offers decent tracking with six zones, which is enough to keep tabs on each part of your mouth. But the Series 9? We're talking 16 zones of tracking, folks. This means you’re not just getting feedback on the upper and lower quadrants but the front, back, sides, and—let’s be honest—probably nooks and crannies I didn’t even know existed. The 16-zone tracking is almost like having a dental assistant saying, “You missed a spot… and another one.” If you’re someone who thrives on that level of accountability, the Series 9 is your holy grail. Yes, the iO Series 9 is significantly more expensive than the Series 6, and if you’re mostly after a good brush, the Series 6 will serve you well. But if you're looking for a tech-packed marvel with all the trimmings—like precise brushing analytics and top-notch travel accessories—the Series 9 is worth the investment. So which one am I tossing into my suitcase? The Series 9. Because sometimes, your teeth deserve the VIP treatment.

This toothbrush is expensive, but the results are amazing. Post every use, it feels like my teeth has had a dentist cleaning. Thank you, Oral-B !!

When this was ordered we were not aware it would have an AMERICAN charger
