Oral-B’s iO4 and iO5, the latest in the smart toothbrush lineup, are finally available

By

At CES 2022, Oral-B announced its newest and most affordable models in its smart, electric toothbrush lineup, the iO4 and iO5. Now those two toothbrushes are finally available for you to use.

The two models are similar in many ways and bring a host of features to your everyday cleaning rituals. For example, they both have a linear magnetic drive system that produces quiet and controlled micro-vibrations that affect the bristle tips. This system helps to keep the pressure on your teeth at a proper level.

The drive system also pairs with the smart pressure sensor. An LED on each toothbrush will change from red to white to green to indicate when you’re brushing too hard or too soft. That sensor also adjusts the amplitude of the toothbrush to protect your gums and enamel.

The brush head for both toothbrushes has been redesigned with twisted bristles and a high-density tuft-in-tuft configuration. The new heads combine oscillating and rotating movements to ensure that you’re deep cleaning every corner of your mouth. In addition, with each toothbrush, you have personalized brushing modes to help with whatever style of cleaning experience you want. The iO4 has four unique modes, while the iO5 has five.

These modes are Daily Clean, Whitening, Sensitive, and Super Sensitive, while the iO5 has an additional Intense mode. The iO5 also has LED lights on the handle that indicates which particular mode you’re using.

Each model comes with a travel case and a charging station that charges your toothbrush while it stands up. Each also comes with a replacement brush head within the box; afterward, you can order more from Oral-B.

Lastly, you can use the iO app for real-time tracking and coaching of your cleaning session. The app has a simple interface so that anyone can easily pick up the app and go. You can also see stats such as the time of your last clean, percentage of mouth coverage, and more while you clean.

Oral-B’s latest toothbrushes are available online and in retail Target stores. You can purchase the iO4 for $100, while the iO5 retails for $120.

EverFrost 2 on the beach

Anker Solix just opened preorders for the upcoming EverFrost 2 Electric Cooler, and it looks like a rugged (and powerful) companion for your next outdoor adventure. Available in three sizes and designed to withstand the usual dings and dents of travel, it’s a premium device that’ll keep your food and drinks cold for up to 52 hours on a single charge.

If you’ll be out in the wild for an extended length of time, this can be doubled to 104 hours with an optional second battery pack. That’s a mindblowing number, and it makes the EverFrost 2 the longest-lastest battery-powered cooler money can buy. By comparison, the old EverFrost could run for up to 42 hours.

If you don't have an air fryer in your kitchen yet, you're missing out! You don't even have to spend a lot on one, as there are offers like Walmart's bargain price for the Bluebow 6-quart air fryer.

We're not sure how much time is remaining before stocks run out, but since we expect this deal to attract a lot of attention, we highly recommend completing your purchase quickly as there's no assurance that the savings will still be available by tomorrow.

Why you should buy the Bluebow 6-quart air fryer
An air fryer cooks using electric heat that's circulated by fans, for food that's crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside without submerging them in oil. The Bluebow 6-quart air fryer is a budget-friendly model that still offers the most important features that you can get, starting with a large capacity that will let you prepare meals for your family in one go. Including air frying, it offers eight preset cooking functions such as roasting and baking that you can access with the touch of a button, giving you control over the type of cooking that you want for your dishes. The air fryer even has a window at the front so you can keep an eye on your food while it's cooking, allowing you to check without having to open the air fryer and losing the heat inside.
