Boots shoppers can buy the Oral-B iO5 Special Edition Toothbrush for £90, down from its usual £280 price, saving £190 in the run-up to Christmas. The retailer has listed the premium electric toothbrush as a Star Gift, offering a major discount on a product that dentists consistently recommend over manual brushes for its enhanced cleaning capabilities.
Features and Design
The Oral-B iO5 Special Edition Toothbrush operates with a single button and offers three cleaning modes: sensitive, daily clean, and whitening. Oral-B claims the toothbrush removes up to 100% more plaque than a manual brush, even in hard-to-reach areas. It incorporates what the company describes as its 'most advanced technology', with individually powered bristles on the head, inspired by a dentist-round brush head.
The toothbrush also features Visible Gum Pressure sensing, which alerts users if they are brushing too vigorously or gently. The Boots bundle includes four brush heads, providing a full year of use before replacements are needed.
Other Oral-B Deals at Boots
Boots is offering additional Oral-B discounts. The Oral-B iO2 Electric Toothbrush has dropped from £100 to £35, and the Oral-B iO9 Electric Toothbrush is reduced from £500 to £180, a £320 saving. The iO9 model adapts to the user's brushing technique to help prevent damage from brushing too hard.
Alternatives on Amazon
Shoppers can also consider the Philips Sonicare Next-Generation DiamondClean 9900 on Amazon for £634.99, which has 24 settings and claims to remove 20 times more plaque than some other toothbrushes, with up to 100% more stain removal in less than two days. For children, the SMILE THERAPY Childrens Electric Toothbrush is available at Amazon for £19.99, with gentle oscillating bristles delivering up to 7,000 movements per minute.
There are currently no reviews for the Oral-B iO5 Series Leopard Special Edition Toothbrush, but the standard iO5 edition has received praise on Boots. One shopper wrote: "My teeth feel so clean. I love the app and the timer. Reminders to clean your tongue and also to change the head is invaluable in this busy world." Another said: "I bought this as a gift, only decided to keep it for myself, as it really does a great job. I didn't think that another Oral-B toothbrush would'nt be any differant. But it is so much better than my last one I was useing. The price was attractive and it's definately been a great buy."
A third reviewer noted: "I bought this electric toothbrush from BOOTS to replace an existing Braun ORAL-B one that had stopped working and found their price to be very competitive, including available from stock." A fourth added: "Great toothbrush would recommend. Holds charge really well." However, one customer wrote: "Quality and efficient toothbrush but awkward to hold." Another reported: "Became faulty after a few weeks, returned for refund, which was just outside time period as mum passed away, was refused refund and item was kept too!"
