This toothbrush is crazy advanced. I have been using a traditional ‘dumb’ toothbrush for a few years now. A while back I used a different electric toothbrush that just vibrated the brush head. This is in an entirely different category, not just an electric toothbrush but a ‘smart’ one. The first time I used it I noticed the difference immediately. After my first 2 minutes if felt like I had received a cleaning at my dentist's office. ******************************************************************************************************************************* The Brains – First, this (as previously stated) is a ‘smart’ toothbrush. The toothbrush can be used on its own without your phone. In this mode, it has the built-in timer, a light that guides you on how much pressure you should be applying, as well as a way to change what kind of brushing method you are wanting to use. The pretty amazing thing is when you pair it with your iPhone or Android device. The companion app communicates with your toothbrush using Bluetooth and sends data to your phone to track brush habits, areas of improvement, and also giving brushing a ‘gaming’ angle by giving you trophies for brushing correctly and building good brushing habits. I know when I connected to my iPhone the companion app also connects to Apple’s Health app to funnel data into the Health app as well. The Series 8 comes with 2 additional brush heads, and you can also set up a replenishment program with Amazon using the Oral-B app. The Series 8 should last about an hour on a full charge and the little LCD screen on it will show you the battery level when you pick it up to use. There is also a carrying case and a wireless charging stand. Charging could not be easier, you just stand the Series 8 on the wireless charging stand, the LCD screen shows the battery level charging and you are set. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So Fresh and so Clean, Clean – Brushing seems far more effective with this Series 8 toothbrush than a traditional one even if you are not using the companion app as a guide. After using this for a few days my teeth feel cleaner than when I used the traditional toothbrush. It also feels far more effortless. The brush just glides across your teeth. As I stated before, it feels like a professional cleaning after every brush with this device. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is easily worth the investment just for the professional cleaning feel you get every time you use it. Simple pairing process, smart features whether you are using the app or stand-alone, and an effective way to track your brushing habits. I am already telling my family that this needs to be their next toothbrush. It feels like a waste of effort and time to use a traditional toothbrush now. This is an easy recommendation.

I am upgrading from an Oral B pro 3000 to the Oral B IO 8 and have loved using Oral B for many years! The main reason I chose the Oral B platform was my dentist recommended it. I also did a lot of web research and decided on Oral B as the best in class. Oral B did not disappoint as was evidenced by the cavity free reports I get year after year from my dentist. My gum health also improved and remains healthy due to oral B awesome technology and I truly believe the rounded head really lets me work each tooth to maximize the cleaning. It’s amazing to watch the technology improve and move into these once static toothbrushes. From their long lasting lithium ion batteries to phone apps to maximize your oral health! Awesome. Unboxing the toothbrush revealed an elegant and stunningly beautiful unit. The violet Ametrine color is just beautiful! I removed it from the box and immediately noticed how great it felt in my hand. Oral B tweaked the handle ever so subtly to really make it feel natural in my hand. Maybe slightly tapered at the base of the handle. It’s subtle but noticeable. I also love how light it is in my hand. It feels like a feather from my old Oral B 3000. I removed the charging base from the box. It’s magnetic!!! Which I love. With the magnetic base it’s so much easier to pick up and return to the charging unit. I also appreciate that ithe charging base and power cord are black in color instead of the clinical white color. It looks more elegant on the bathroom counter. I let it charge and a cool blue LED lit up face of the brush. I also downloaded the app which was super easy. After a quick charge I turned it on and it asked me for the langue and default color for the neck of the brush led. I found the violet/purple color irresistible and loved how the color played off each other with the Violet Ametrine handle, just really beautiful. The brush synced to my phone very quickly and then the brush and app wanted to “learn” my brush pattern! Yup…AI. Super cool!!! The app is very useful in visualizing and helping me focus on my brushing. After oohing and awing over the tech, I could not wait to feel how the experience would be. The first word that came to my mind was that the brush felt “super smooth”. I mean so much smoother than my old Oral B. It’s also quiet but does not sacrifice power to be so smooth and quiet. It’s like an expensive sports car… it’s super powerful and fast but doesn’t vibrate the heck out of you! In the oral B IO Series 8 they moved to a new brush head from the old Oral B units. It allows for what they call micro vibrating bristles. It’s a huge improvement that must be felt to believed! My teeth have never been cleaner! It feels like I just left a dental office cleaning. I also love the timing feature so you know you get the two minutes the dentist wants. I tried all 6 brush modes and settled on “sensitive”. That feels the best for me. I also love the pressure sensor as well. My dentist mentioned how important that is so you do not damage your gums! Oral B finishes off this awesome toothbrush with an awesome case for it too. One place you don’t want to be skimp is on the health of you teeth and gums! Do you self a favor and grab one of these! I highly recommend this brush!!!!
