The Oral-B iO Series 9 needs no introduction. Sleek, durable and app-connected, it is one of the handful of models available on the market that offer a whopping seven brushing modes and AI-powered brushing guidance. This smart gem can actively help take your dental care routine to the next level, and that is not something that many toothbrushes can do. We were delighted to see it drop to the lowest-ever price during the last Prime Day sale, but if you missed your chance to save back then, do not despair — this electric toothbrush is now back on sale.
The Oral-B iO Series 9 in black onyx color is now a massive 30% off at Best Buy, saving you a round $100. If you want to save an additional four cents, you can also get this model at Walmart.

For almost two years, the Oral-B iO Series 9 firmly held the title of the best option for smart features in our guide to the best electric toothbrushes. Admittedly, we had to concede its prized spot the moment we tried the even more premium iO Series 10. Still, it remains one of our all-time favorite smart devices.
What we liked most about this electric toothbrush is that it can act like your own pocket-sized dental hygienist. The Oral-B iO Series 9 does a fabulous job of tracking your brushing movements and dental care habits, then using artificial intelligence to analyse the collected data and come up with helpful tips on how best to improve your brushing technique. This feature can be particularly useful for those with complex dental needs or individuals who struggle with establishing an effective dental care routine. The Oral-B iO Series 9 is premium in the full sense of the word, and now you can get it for just $229.99. But hurry, we do not know how long this offer will last.
