Review
The Oral-B iO5 sits in an interesting middle ground within Oral-B's range. It features their innovative iO technology, which uses micro-vibrations rather than traditional oscillation, resulting in gentler yet surprisingly effective cleaning. You get five cleaning modes: daily clean, sensitive, gum care, whitening, and massage. The build feels premium without being unnecessarily heavy, and the battery lasts a solid two weeks between charges—genuinely convenient for travel.
What impresses me most is how quiet it operates compared to older electric toothbrushes. The whitening mode is genuinely noticeable over a few weeks; teeth do appear brighter without aggressive scrubbing. The included travel case is proper quality, not a cheap afterthought, and there's an extra brush head in the box.
Where I see limitations: the display is minimal (no smart features like app connectivity you'd find on pricier iO models), and the charging base is USB rather than wireless. For some, the lack of Bluetooth tracking might feel outdated. The pressure sensor is there but feels less responsive than I'd hoped.
At £79, though, these quibbles fade. You're getting professional-grade cleaning technology without paying flagship prices. This sits perfectly for someone upgrading from a manual brush or seeking reliable cleaning without premium bells and whistles. The 66% discount makes it exceptional value—I'd grab it at this price rather than waiting for marginal reductions. Recommended if you prioritise actual cleaning performance over smart gimmicks.
