Five modes, a hard case and real-time app tracking of where you brush make up the iO5's pitch. Oral-B's page is inconsistent about the handle itself: its feature list names an interactive display, while the product copy only describes LED mode lights, so the screen row is left blank here.

Three years of ownership

Handle: $120
Heads (11 × $7.22): $79.42

12 heads over 36 months at Oral-B's stated 3-month interval, less 1 head in the box. Head price: Oral-B iO Ultimate Clean 9-count, $64.99 on oralb.com. How this is worked out

What the extra money buys: Same iO magnetic drive (Oral-B's name for it; no speed published) and a pressure sensor as the Oral-B iO Series 3; the extra $60 buys 2 more modes, app tracking and a travel case. See the Oral-B iO Series 3.

The two lists above are drawn from the maker’s own pages and prices, not from owner reports. Where owner discussion has been read it appears in its own section below, so the two are never mistaken for each other.

What owners say

No owner discussion has been read for the Oral-B iO Series 5 yet. This section stays empty until there is something real to put in it.

How it moves

The round head turns rapidly back and forth against each tooth; you guide it slowly from tooth to tooth.

Where these figures come from

Every figure is the maker’s own, from its US product page, spec sheet or store, and the ADA listing comes from the ADA’s own site. A figure the maker does not publish is left out rather than estimated. The three-year cost, gum-safety and travel chips are worked out from those figures here.
