class=\"wp-block-heading\">The display looks impressive but has limited functionality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Built into the iO Series 6\u2019s handle is a colour display (previously black and white). It has a certain wow factor, being one of a very limited number of toothbrushes to have such.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s not a touchscreen. You use the function buttons to control the extra settings you have available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Compared to other Oral-B brushes with icons only or none at all, it certainly makes selecting brushing modes easier. The addition of a text name label is great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There's the option to change some simple settings, but the in handle options are more limited than the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During brushing a timer is displayed on screen, although due to the position, it is hard to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Post brushing, no matter how long you have been brushing for, an emoji style face appears on the screen.\u00a0A smiley or sad face gives some indication, but it would be more useful if it showed areas of the teeth that hadn't been brushed properly, much like the app. Given that it has real-time tracking, it would have made the screen more useful. Oclean offers this visual feedback on many of their brushes equipped with a screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A 2026 update has resulted in some improvements. The screen now displays information such as how long I brushed with the ideal pressure and too low pressure. And the remaining days' usage from the brush head is also shown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Oral_B_iO6_Electric_Toothbrush-14.jpg\" alt=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Display built into the iO6's handle.

This information is presented on screen clearly and engagingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">6 zones of the mouth are tracked at any one time. As you brush each zone, the teeth shown on screen fade from a pale blue to white. Those zones with incomplete white teeth haven\u2019t received the attention they should. Because you can see this, as your brushing, you can take immediate corrective action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The accuracy of the tracking varies, with some days seemingly better than others. And because it tracks only 6 zones, rather than each tooth surface, you don\u2019t get as detailed insights as you might expect. You can for example brush just the outside tooth surface in a zone and the app will suggest good coverage for that zone, which isn\u2019t strictly true.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a237d65ad0c3&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a237d65ad0c3\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Oral_B_iO_6_Zone_Tracking_Brushing_Timer.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:150px;height:300px\"><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Track 6 zones of the mouth with the real-time tracking.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/oral-b-io-review\/\">iO Series 9 <\/a>does have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=C_4ynPGTp1I\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">16 zone tracking<\/a>, 1 zone per tooth surface, this much more detailed feedback. But, the iO9 is considerably more expensive and even then the tracking is not really any more reliable. Unless you are set on buying \u2018the best\u2019 it's not worth it for most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are motivated by numbers then the Oral-B app will score your brushing and show patterns in your brushing history. It logs brushing time, pressure and more, even if you don\u2019t use the app each time you brush. Over time you can over time get insights you might not have otherwise known about. It is, without doubt,&nbsp; a useful tool, but it requires commitment and even then the feedback isn\u2019t perfect.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a general rule, we don\u2019t recommend smart brushes. This is because you don\u2019t need them to achieve a good clean.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A quieter and softer brushing experience with a dentist clean feeling&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Truthfully few toothbrushes do a bad job of cleaning the teeth when used correctly, but some deliver an experience you just want to repeat and I think the iO6 falls firmly into this category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Oral_B_iO6_Electric_Toothbrush-3.jpg\" alt=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The iO6 comes with a basic but functional travel case.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Less aggressive on the teeth than non-iO models<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I often use the words aggressive and intense when describing the sensation you get from the use of most Oral-B brushes. It might not sound appealing, but the result is the somewhat cliche \u2018dentist clean\u2019 feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It certainly isn\u2019t something that is to everyone's preference and I know many like the softer sensation that sonic toothbrushes deliver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the introduction of the iO Series came a completely new motor design that has ultimately affected the feeling you get when brushing your teeth. It is now much softer and less harsh on the soft tissues in the mouth. There is a noticeable difference between the iO and non iO brushes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I don\u2019t believe it is a reason to ditch a perfectly functional brush in preference of the iO6, but it is a benefit should you make the switch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It goes without saying the cleaning results are still superb. I can\u2019t say the iO6 cleans the teeth any better than other brushes. Overall I\u2019ve no complaints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Oral_B_iO_Brush_In_The_Mouth.jpg\" alt=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">iO specific heads are required for the iO6.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The brush heads have gotten bigger<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">iO Series brush handles have their own range of brush heads. The iO Series is not compatible with the existing range of refills Oral-B offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether it was intentional or not, I do not know, but the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/oral-b-brush-heads-comparison\/\">4 styles of iO specific heads<\/a> are marginally bigger. It is most notable in the depth. I would suggest about 10% larger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the vast majority, it won\u2019t pose an issue, but it is something to be aware of particularly if you have a small mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Oral_B_iO_Brush_Heads-15.jpg\" alt=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">4 different bristle configurations are available for the iO Series.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It\u2019s quieter than the Oral-B brushes you might be used to<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another positive consequence of the redesigned motor is the noise the brush makes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oral-B brushes have always been amongst the loudest with quite a harsh mechanical sound compared to the softer humm of other sonic brushes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is now about 10 decibels quieter compared to an Oral-B brush that isn\u2019t part of the iO Series.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It registers at up to 64 decibels in our testing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sound seems a little higher pitched and less mechanical, call it a halfway point between the gentle sonic hum and the grumble of the other Oral-B brushes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dentist-recommended features are built in<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Used correctly, a manual toothbrush is perfectly satisfactory, but electric brushes have several benefits that no manual brush can match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our in-house team has a couple that they feel are really beneficial: a pressure sensor, timer and pacer. The iO6 has them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A smarter pressure sensor than most<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the iO6\u2019s best features is the smarter than average pressure sensor. It alerts you to more than just too much pressure. It tells you when you are not using enough and when you are applying just the right amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have no idea if you are using the right amount of pressure, the iO6 will let you know. It\u2019s going to help prevent you from doing unnecessary damage to the teeth and gums if you brush too hard. Or get you applying more force if you are a bit too soft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The light ring around the top of the brush handle changes colour based on the applied pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>White&nbsp; \u2013 low pressure \u2013 not enough force is being applied.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Green \u2013 the right amount of pressure is being used.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Red \u2013 high - excessive pressure is being applied and the force should be reduced.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If lit red, the motor will slow the bristle movements to further protect the teeth until such time the pressure is relieved. In a relatively short period of time, you will learn the correct force you need to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If using the app, it will show on the screen if you are using the correct pressure or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Oral_B_iO_Smart_Pressure_Sensor.jpg\" alt=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Aim to have a green light as you brush.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Brush for longer with the help of the timer and pacer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An essential feature of an electric toothbrush is a timer and pacer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brushing for the recommended minimum of 2 minutes twice a day achieves maximum plaque removal. Yet many people brush for as little as 45-70 seconds per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You do too want to ensure you brush all your teeth fairly evenly to limit the chances of problems now and in the future. The timer encourages you to do just this.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s activated as soon as you power the brush on, then at 30 second intervals, the brush motor momentarily pauses. The sound and brushing sensation change. This is your notification to move to the next section of your mouth. At 2 minutes, the alert comes in the form of 3 momentary pauses. Hear this and you\u2019ve brushed for the recommended minimum time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you're used to a sonic toothbrush, you might expect the iO6 to power offer automatically. It won\u2019t.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The pacing is different when using the app<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, the real-time tracking of the iO6 helps work toward even brushing of the different zones.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But something you should be aware of is that the pacer is deactivated when using the app. You don\u2019t get the pauses in the brush motor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is because you have an onscreen timer to guide you. The idea is you spend 20 seconds per zone, to realise the even clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is different to the 4 zone (quadrant), 30 second pacing the brush uses when not being used in real-time with the app.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A lack of textured grips gives a cleaner, premium look&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like the other iO brush handles, the iO6 has a rounded handle design with no harsh edges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Oral_B_iO6_Electric_Toothbrush-6.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plastic is the material of choice for good reason, but commonly used gloss finishes have been replaced with a matte finish that looks more refined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Textured grips that are present on other models are not here. It gives a much cleaner look and doesn\u2019t give small areas for grime and residual toothpaste to build up upon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the different design approach, it doesn\u2019t feel slippery to the touch and you can easily retain a good grasp of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the hand, the brush is nicely balanced and comfortable to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2 concave function buttons stand out to the fingertip and provide reassuring feedback upon pressing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The buttons are always black no matter if you opt for the white, black, pink or grey coloured handle options for the iO6. There are no technical differences, just colours separate them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All iO6\u2019s usually come with a basic, but functional travel case that holds the handle and up to 2 heads.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Oral_B_iO6_Electric_Toothbrush-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Oral_B_iO6_Electric_Toothbrush-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With less textured surfaces, the handle itself is a bit easier to keep clean. It\u2019s water resistant so it can be cleaned under running water or used in the shower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do pay particular attention to the brush head itself and the attachment point. The design does potentially lead to mould building up if not regularly cleaned.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The brush heads are more expensive than rivals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you're interested in the position tracking of the Oral-B iO range, the iO6 is the best value brush you can buy. All things considered, the iO6 does a good job of striking the balance between features and price in the iO range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If, like us, you're not fussed about position tracking, the iO3 is a better buy. It still has the nice design of the iO brushes and it has the advanced pressure sensor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One thing to point out is that replacement iO brush heads are among the most expensive that you can buy, costing about \u00a36 each.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The brush heads for SURI and Sonicare, which alongside the iO3 feature in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/best-electric-toothbrush\/\">our best electric toothbrush recommendations<\/a>, are about \u00a35 each.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Oral_B_iO6_Electric_Toothbrush-17.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The 16 day battery life is satisfactory but could be better<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oral-B iO brushes typically offer around 2 weeks of use on a full charge The iO6 achieved an average of 16 days in my testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is an average though as I\u2019ve experienced both better and worse from the iO6. Performance does seem to be a bit more consistent than the premium iO Series 9 and 10. But it isn\u2019t as good as the likes of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/oral-b-io4-review\/\">iO Series 4<\/a> and 5 which offer a couple more days of use. Probably because they don\u2019t have an in-handle display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In reality, the Series 6 falls quite a bit short of the typical 3-4 weeks achieved by most toothbrushes today, including those half the price. It isn\u2019t a deal breaker, unless you travel a lot and are away from power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A full charge will take up to about 12 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Oral_B_iO6_Electric_Toothbrush-15.jpg\" alt=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">It takes up to 12 hours to recharge the lithium-ion battery sealed inside the iO6.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Included is a standard Oral-B charging stand. White in colour it has a prong on the top which fits into the base of the brush handle. The stand has voltage support of 220-240 and has a 2 pin plug, suitable for UK bathrooms hardwired into it. The cable measures approximately 1.2 metre (4 foot).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The display will give feedback on the battery charge level and the light ring at the top of the brush handle will flash red when low or pulse white when on charge.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It\u2019s got at least 3 more brushing modes than you need<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve yet to find any solid justification for having 5 different <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/oral-b-cleaning-modes-explained\/\">brushing modes<\/a> on a toothbrush, given that the cleaning results are comparable, but the iO6 has just this.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your options are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Daily Clean<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gum Care<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sensitive<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whitening<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Intense<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daily Clean is the mode you\u2019re generally best off using and is all you need. It provides a good overall clean. It can help remove surface stains and whiten teeth for some too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That said, having the option of Sensitive mode is nice, for those times your teeth and gums might be feeling a bit more tender and you want something a little less intense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It will default to your last used mode and you can change the order via the app if you like as well as disabling those you won\u2019t ever use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Oral_B_iO6_Electric_Toothbrush-2.jpg\" alt=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">You can expect to get these items in the box with the Series 6.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A three-year warranty, not the standard two<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where the vast majority of brushes come with a standard 2 year warranty, the iO6 does have the option of an additional third year, at no extra cost, if you register the brush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s a welcome addition even if it is relatively rare for a brush to fail during this time. Oral-B has had years to perfect the design and manufacturing to limit such.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A number of iO brushes I have been using for several years remain functional with no issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although Oral-B doesn't overly promote this, it is possible to replace the battery yourself, as <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/4dEPyCYw39o\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/4dEPyCYw39o\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">demonstrated in this video<\/a>. This is the limit of what is easily repairable and replaceable at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s a shame more environmentally considerate approaches are not being factored in by leading brands.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Environmental impact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make no mistake, an electric toothbrush isn\u2019t great environmentally. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41415-020-1981-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">electric brush's environmental impact<\/a> is on average 11 times greater than a manual brush.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We don\u2019t have detailed data specific to the iO6, but based on what we know the impact is even greater with the LED display and other smart features available on the iO6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Oral-B has partnered with schemes such as TerraCycle in some countries, it does not yet have its own recycling scheme for used brush heads or faulty products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its brush heads are made from petroleum-based plastic, which uses the planet's finite resources compared to using plant-based plastics.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"conclusion\" class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion: striking a balance between price and features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The iO6 offers more than you and I need, but isn\u2019t as capable as the likes of the Series 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It isn\u2019t the cheapest, nor is it the most expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It cleans the teeth comparably to more affordable models, but the brushing experience is better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ultimately it\u2019s a brush that is priced just about right given what it offers, for those who feel they will make use of such.<\/p>\n\n\n            <div  class=\"lg:my-6 my-3\">\n\n                \n                <div
