Our favorite smart electric toothbrush is cheaper than ever in an early Amazon Black Friday deal
We're still a few weeks away from Black Friday, but if you're looking to get a new electric toothbrush, you can get a deal on one of Oral-B's models as early as today. The Oral-B iO Series 7 electric toothbrush that comes with two brush heads is currently on sale at Amazon for $150, which is a record low for the device that typically sells for $200. Even better, you can get it for $140 if you apply the website's $10 coupon, so don't forget to tick that little box right next to it.
We named the Oral-B iO Series 7 as our best overall smart electric toothbrush for the year because its price sits right in the middle of the category's price spectrum. With this discount, it's become an even more appealing option. The device is equipped with an internal gyroscope and accelerometer, giving it the capability to detect its position inside your mouth while you brush. If you switch on guided brushing in the app, you'll see a 3D illustration of your teeth turn blue as you brush - the app can even tell you if you've missed specific areas by the end of the two-minute session.
The app tracks unguided brushing sessions, as well, taking note of their time and durations. On the toothbrush itself, you'll see a built-in LED screen that displays a time and the mode you've chosen, so you don't always need to have the app open nearby. Take note that the device comes with five cleaning modes, including one you can use if you have sensitive teeth. And if you tend to press down on your toothbrush, one useful feature is that the ring of light at the base of the brush flashes red if you push too hard and glows green when you exert just the right amount of pressure.
As we mentioned in our best electric toothbrush list, the Oral-B iO Series 7 is nearly identical to the higher-tier iO Series 9. The only difference is that the latter comes with extra modes, a full color screen and an even more detailed app-guided brushing. Still, if you want give the Oral-B iO Series 9 a try, it's also currently on sale at Amazon for $250, which could go as low as $230 with its clippable coupon.
