On a scale from 1 to 10, we are giving the Oral-B iO series 8 a solid 9.
The iO series 8 is undoubtedly an outstanding high-performance device full of setups that provides an optimal user experience. It takes care of a bunch of details that make it enjoyable to use as well as beneficial for your oral health.
It’s very easy to get used to this particular model since its cleaning system is carefully designed to achieve a high-quality dental cleaning while also still being gentle and reliable for the most sensitive and demanding smiles.
The one downside we found is the Oral B io8 price, even with all the functionalities and high performance, it’s hard to justify, especially when you could get a relatively similar result with a more affordable model like the Oral-B Smart Limited, plus the smart features aren’t as optimal as they could be.
That said, you don’t have to spend that much money, but if you can do it and want to do it, then the Oral-B iO series 8 is kind of the perfect toothbrush for everyone, especially if you struggle with sensitive gums or are trying an electric toothbrush for the first time.
