TechRadar lab-tested ·

The iO Series 6 has Oral-B's latest motor, which is extremely quiet and allows the brush to glide smoothly across your teeth.
Its cleaning performance is just as good, its pressure sensor is equally accurate, and its real-time location tracking is just as effective at helping you cover each segment of your mouth.
It's a very basic white plastic case that keeps your brush handle and two heads protected from dirt and damage, but that's all.
