Thanks dude! I picked one of these up in the Philippines but the branded refills were so pricey!
You’re welcome man! Glad I could help!😃👍
Great review! I'm debating getting on of these but torn between the 21 and 32 oz. I like the idea of the bigger one but also dislike the idea of carrying a huge bottle around all the time feels like it could be annoying and heavy 🙈
Thank you for watching! That’s why I have both😄 I’d go for the 21oz if you’re gonna carry it around a lot. The only downside is obviously the amount of times you have to refill it. But that can also be a positive thing if you’re sitting behind a computer all day. That’s my experience, anyway. Whatever you do, I think you’re gonna be happy with either one. Good luck!😃👍
And still not supported in the Google Home app.
Unbelievable
@@TechNovelTies But yet you can get an ADT smoke detector in the Google Home app.
@jamesm568 I didn’t know that! You’re making it even worse!😆
@@TechNovelTies Oh it does get worse as the Google smoke alarm doesn't even work with the ADT alarm system that replaced the Google alarm system.
🙈🤣
Thanks for the very detailed testing of these things. I'm kinda on the fence about buying one, but I read that it doesn't handle vape clouds very well ^^"
You’re very welcome @DUSKvsDAWN, hopefully they develop another dedicated sensor for that!😄
@@TechNovelTies that would be awesome!
Heating up a nest protect will make the sensor melt
@@Smokedetor I never said anything about heating up a Nest. I was talking about vaping in a room where a Nest is present ;) Obviously heating up the device is not a good idea.
Great job, you saved me a lot of research time, because the information you provided is exactly what I was looking for! 👌👌 You got a new subscriber - in my opinion you should have >100.000 subscribers! 5 STARS! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
That’s so heartwarming tbh. I’ve been having doubts wether to keep this KZread journey going. And your comment gives me new energy. So thank you so much for this!!
So is it worth getting without being able to connect to Google home?
Definitely! Being able to connect it would have made it perfect though. Especially for people who only wish to use Google Home as their smart home platform. That being said, I only ever check the Nest app when it sends me a notification whenever something’s is up or to let me know it successfully tested itself. Because if there’s one thing it’s good at, is giving you a peace of mind.
Not great quality. Mine broke after 6 months ☹
Sorry to hear that man
You dude, thank you for your explanations. I will now go and buy the iO 9 tooth brush
You’re welcome! Glad it helped you decide! Thank you for watching!😃👍
Very helpful thanks!
You're welcome! Thank you for watching!
Hey just wanna ask does the IO 9 toothbrush fit the IO 10 charger? :)
Hi! I haven’t tested this myself, but a P&G employee commented “Also, it's worth noting that the iO Sense will work with iO7, 8, and 9 handles as well. But they don't offer the charger on its own right now unfortunately.”
Did he just say “black nipple”?
Very helpful video!
I agree!
INDEED! Helpful tech review video about the Xiaomi Soap Dispenser and how to save money!
Glad to be of service!😄👍
Wow…. I’ll limit myself by saying thanks for being a dedicated contributor to your country’s economy. 😂😂😂

Hey, thanks for chiming in! I was kinda hoping they'd drop a charger stand that's also a power bank, compatible with all iOS devices. Imagine not having to stick the charger in the wall all the time but only once every fortnight. Plus, how cool would it be if they made one with a USB end? Talk about energy saving!
Good point, couldn’t agree more! Oral-b should take this into consideration when designing the next version!
Good video, Thanks
Thank you, you’re welcome!😃👍
❤
He is so underrated
Mate your videos are amazing!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!
😊
🙂
Fyi 3 years later it only said on all websites and amazon it would only do 2 tires from flat or 8 top ups
Thanks man, good to hear that
Bueno VIDEO!!! SI GRACIAS
Gracias a tí!😃👍
Nice and honest video - congrats. Does this use the classic oral b brushes? I have an quite older model with BT etc and I am curious whether the existing brushes are compatible. Many thanks!
Thank you for your kind words! This model only uses special iO Series brushes. So I’m sorry to say existing, classic brushes won’t be compatible. Hope this answered your question. Take care!
totaly waste of money, I have io6 and io8, all same brushing power from 4 do 10. Instead 4,5,6,10 are newer models then 7,8,9 which are from 2020. I never use app, thats sound for brainless probably:D Just buy cheaper one and brush your teeth normal without holding phone or looking at charging stand:D Buy anything else for couple hunderd bucks which you saved
The phone tells you what areas you got and if you apply the right pressure and what areas you need to go over agian it's better for people who have cavities or who needs better brushing
Where you been bro? Still waiting for the next video. Hope you are well.
So nice of you to ask man! I’m okay, I hope you are too! I’m happy to be editing again, after shooting some tech tests that got out of hand. Thank you very much for your patience Taha, I appreciate that a lot!😃👍
@@TechNovelTies awesome can't wait! 😄
Thank you
You’re welcome!
Is this app dead?
Just tested it to be sure. The app still works
Is the charging station of the io 9 compatible with the io10 toothbrush?
That’s a really good question! I didn’t test this, so I’m not a 100% sure. It doesn’t seem to be compatible. When I look online for a replacement docking station for the io9, it says it’s compatible with the io7 and io8 as well. But nothing about the io10. Sorry I couldn’t give you a conclusive answer. Next time I make a toothbrush comparison video, I’ll make sure to test that as well. So thanks for the tip!😃👍
"After 3 months of use in my car, the suction cup just falls off. My iPhone 15 crashes between my feet while driving. Expensive stuff, worthless."
After 20 months of use in my car, the suction cup fell off twice. I really don’t understand why that happens to you
@@TechNovelTieshonestly I love Mous and will continue using their cases but this mount was a failure. Mine lasted 6 months before the suction cup broke away from the mount itself. I had the Mous limitless 2.0 mount back in the day which was actually insane build quality, a stupidly thick suction cup and metal construction it lasted forever and stuck to anything. This one only stuck to my windscreen (I tried tiles for use in the kitchen and it wouldn’t stick) but it still broke. I’ve filed a warranty claim but honestly I’ll probably request a refund because it seems this is a common issue as they don’t make them anymore
@adventure_F0x That sucks man, sorry to hear that. But thanks for sharing. Good for viewers to see some different experiences. I do almost feel like I’ve got the one-off😄
@@TechNovelTies yeah honestly it caught me by surprise, I’d noticed it getting looser recently but thought it was because of the sun (I’m in the U.K. so it’s not crazy hot or anything) but today I pulled my phone from the mount and the mount came with lol I’m sure they’ll sort it for me, it’s just a shame
@adventure_F0x They really should sort it for you! Please let me know if they will. I’m curious about their level of service.
And what exactly prevents you from just ignoring the alerts during inconvenient times?
Nothing really, eventually it’s up to yourself to make it a success
I love this review! You convinced me that I don’t need to buy iO 10. Brutal truth, I respect that! Thanks man.
You’re welcome man! Thank you very much!
DO NOT BUY ANY OF THEIR PRODUCT LINE. I bought one for my wife and in about a year the puck started falling out and eventually got damaged. She emailed the company and one of their representatives said yes they know about the puck issue and that it is a manufacturing problem with the threading on the puck. He said he would try to give her a replacement cup at first but eventually said the 100 day warranty had expired and couldn’t give her a replacement. So the company knows about the issue and still refuses to stand behind their product. DO NOT BUY FROM A COMPANY LIKE THIS THAT ONLY CARES ABOUT SALES AND WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT.
Just got the ultra 2 and I have a 14 pro. The ping precision feature doesn’t work.
Thanks for sharing. Pretty disappointing this only works with the iPhone 15 versions
it is! I'm just made at the fact they didn't put that news out there when promoting it @@TechNovelTies
@leroyjones161 Couldn’t agree more man
Thank you for this video. It helped me decide which one of the two to buy. Interestingly, in my country the reviews and ranking of the io9 are higher than the ones of io10. In addition, the price point for io9 is 406$ whereas the price of io10 is cheaper - 330$. I also came accross malfunction complaints of the io10, so I decided to go for the io9.
Glad it helped you out! Indeed interesting price development. Which country are you from, if I may ask?
You don't need the app or the stand, just the pressure sensor. It's not hard to know whether you've brushed all your teeth or not, but maintaining the correct pressure is more of a challenge which the brush can deal with alone.
I have a series 7 and never use the Bluetooth and tracking. If you already have a brushing routine that is at least 2 minutes like me then the timer is pointless. Plus if you then clean it while running it adds time so the recorded time is inaccurate anyway. The tracking lags on all models or so I'm told so it's better to just develop a routine and you will never use the connected features. The best features are present on most models . Mainly a truly usable pressure sensor are on ask models (unlike others brushes that only trigger when pressing a ridiculous amount.), a sensitive mode, and a display showing the modes (on series 5 and up). If you don't need a super sensitive option found on the series 8, 9 and 10 then just go with the series 5. The only thing missing is the magnetic charging which mean's a little extra cleaning on the bottom of the brush.
Thank you for sharing your experience. This could help others decide which model to go for.
The magnets look very flimsy, it’s like they want you to knock your £300+ brush over
Exactly!
I disabled double tap on day 1. It’s a gimmick that chows battery life.
I understand, I was quite thrilled at first but haven’t used it very often to be honest
Is this better than the Sonic 9000 Prestige?
I don’t know, I’ve never used it
Sana cok tesekkur ederim ikisi arasinda kararsiz kalmistim ve gercekten beni kafamda soru isareti kalmigcak sekilde aydinlattin
You’re welcome! I’m glad this helped you out!😃👍 And thank you very much for your comment, that’s really kind!!
Thanks for your efforts, bro. I used your video to pack my Oral B to return it because, unfortunately, it's not my cup of tea...
You’re welcome, man. Hope you’ll find a good alternative
I just got this brush today and could not get it to connect to the app. Customer service couldn't either. I watched your video and I'm all set THANK YOU!!!!!
That’s so nice to hear!☺️ You’re very welcome!!😃👍
Can you use this without the app, minimal tech? I just want to brush simply with a good clean (settings on the toothbrush itself). Then every few weeks charge it.
Yes, that’s definitely possible! You might consider going for a lower version of the iO Series though, because it’s mostly the 3D teeth tracking, the app, and the iO Sense charging station which makes it different and more expensive than the iO Series 8 or lower. Thank you for watching and good luck with your decision!
Hydratespark refuses to support their app. It’s been broken for 2 months. If you’re buying the bottle to achieve goals and be awarded fake awards. DON’T buy. Support claims “server issues” but after two months no change sadly.
That’s really annoying. Strangely, I haven’t experienced the same issue with the app. I use an iPhone and live in Europe. No idea if that makes the difference.
