If you’re looking to upgrade or replace your electric toothbrush, this is the time of year to do it, and you’re in the right place to find the best deals. Tech Advisor has reviewed and rated every Oral-B iO model – in fact, every Oral-B model still available to buy in the UK. We know what you should pay for each one and whether the prices on offer should tempt you to open your wallet.
Black Friday is no longer a single-day event, which means you can find unmissable deals throughout the month. And now that Amazon’s Black Friday Week sale is well underway, the discounts will be serious, with every retailer competing for your attention.
Following, we’ve hunted down the best deals on offer right now. If you’re not ready to buy yet, bookmark this page, as we’ll be keeping the list fresh throughout November. We’ve focused on the iO line as we think these are Oral-B’s best brushes at the moment, but we’ll include models from its classic line when we think they’re still worth investing in – and when the deals are good enough.
In many cases, when you’ll see an Oral-B Black Friday deal, the retailer will calculate the discount from the brush’s original launch price, not its regularly available price, so the saving seems huge. In our round-up of the best deals below, we’ll give you a much more realistic estimate of what you’ll be saving. And we’ll only recommend deals we’d go for ourselves: discounts that are on par or better than the best we’ve seen before.
For expert advice on which model to buy, see our top recommendations in our round-up of the best Oral-B electric toothbrushes. And to find out the differences between Oral-B’s iO models and find out which features each one has, see our complete Oral-B iO guide.
You can find all our recommended tech discounts in Tech Advisor’s Black Friday deals hub.

Why buy it? You can buy an Oral-B for less (see the Vitality Pro, which is usually available for around £25, but which you can get from Amazon in the Black Friday sales for £22.50, or a twin-pack for £38, also from Amazon) but this is the cheapest model we can wholeheartedly recommend. Its brushing performance is good and it has a decent number of features including a pressure sensor, two-week battery life and brushing timer. But bear in mind that it is noisier than the iO models and if your budget can stretch a bit further, we’d recommend opting for the iO3.
Who’s it for? Anyone looking to upgrade from a manual brush or replace an elderly model on a budget.

Best Oral-B iO3 deal: iO Series 3 twin-pack discount
- Twin-pack deal price: £74.99 from Amazon
- Usual price per brush: approx. £60-£70
- Price per brush in twin-pack deal: £37.50
- Saving: £22.50 per brush
In spite of what you might read on the product page, the Oral-B iO3 is regularly available for around £60-£70. A decent sales price is £50, and you can currently find the iO3 for £49.99/£50 from retailers including Boots and Currys, saving you £10-£20.
But the biggest saving at the moment is available on this twin-pack deal from Amazon, where the brushes work out at £37.50 each.

Why buy it? It’s a simple but brilliantly effective electric toothbrush with these key features:
- iO brushing performance
- light ring pressure sensor
- 3 brushing modes – daily clean, whitening and sensitive.
Who’s it for? The iO3 is the best value way to get the iO line’s brilliant brushing performance – if you don’t mind missing out on the bells and whistles, such as the on-handle OLED screen, smart features and fast charging.

Best Oral-B iO5 deal: iO Series 5 twin-pack discount
- Twin-pack deal price: £119.99 from Amazon
- Usual price per brush: £100
- Price per brush in twin-pack deal: £60
- Saving: £40 per brush
The price of the iO5 fluctuates more than many other models but you can often get it for under £100. At the moment, the best price on a single brush is £80 from Boots, saving you £20. The next best are £84.99 from Superdrug and Amazon, saving you around £15.
But the biggest saving we can find is on this twin-pack from Amazon, where you’ll save £80 on the pair.

Why buy it? This brush is more advanced than the basic iO models – and has smart features to help you to improve your brushing technique. There’s no screen on the handle, but a series of light-up icons show you which brushing mode you’re in. Cheaper models don’t have these features.
- iO brushing performance
- On-handle mode icons
- 5 brushing modes: daily clean, intense clean, whitening, sensitive and super sensitive
- Real-time coaching mode and other smart features
- Light ring pressure sensor
Who’s it for? This is an excellent electric toothbrush with a great feature set. All you’re really missing out on from pricier models is an on-handle display and fast charging.

Best Oral-B iO6 deal: iO Series 6 discount
- Usual Oral-B iO6 price: Approx. £130
- Now: £90
- Discount: £40
- Available from Boots
Big price drop here! Until today, the best offer on this model was £109 – now there’s been a huge, drop down to £90. This is an excellent deal. Snap it up if you can live without fast charging. The discounted model is available in black and in pink and the packaging is holiday-themed, so a great choice for gifting.

Why buy it? This is the least expensive model to feature the on-handle display, which will show you a brushing timer countdown, battery life, brushing modes and more. Bear in mind that the iO6’s screen is black and white only. The iO6 also has smart functionality. Here are its best features:
- iO brushing performance
- Monochrome screen
- 5 brushing modes: daily clean, sensitive, gum care, intense clean, whitening
- Guided cleaning mode and other smart features
- Light ring pressure sensor
Who’s it for? This is the brush to buy if you want an OLED display but don’t mind missing out on fast charging.

Best Oral-B iO7 deal: iO Series 7 discount
- Usual Oral-B iO7 price: Approx. £150
- Now: £130
- Discount: £20
- Available from Oral-B
This is a very small discount but it’s the best on offer if this is the brush you want. However, we’d point you in the direction of the the iO8 deal, which offers more for the same discounted price.
Foundry
Why buy it? The iO7 is the least expensive brush to offer 3-hour fast charging – and this makes a huge difference to how convenient the brush is to use. Here are its best features:
- iO brushing performance
- Monochrome screen
- 5 brushing modes: daily clean, sensitive, whiten, gum care, intense and super sensitive
- Real-time brushing feedback and other smart features
- Light ring pressure sensor
- Fast charging
Who’s it for? This brush has everything that iO models offer, except for a colour screen and some smart features and additional brushing modes. If you can pick this up on sale, it’s an excellent buy.

Best Oral-B iO8 deal: iO Series 8 discount
- Usual Oral-B iO8 price: Approx. £150-£160
- Now: £130
- Discount: £25
- Available from Pharmacy2U
This is easily the best deal on an iO8 at the moment and it’s well worth snapping up if this is the model you want.
Emma Rowley / Foundry
Why buy it? The iO8 is one of the high-end models, with luxury features.
- iO brushing performance
- Colour OLED screen
- 6 brushing modes: daily clean, sensitive, whiten, gum care, intense and super sensitive
- Real-time brushing feedback and other smart features
- Light ring pressure sensor
- Fast charging
Who’s it for? If you want the full colour OLED screen, you can save a little by buying the iO8 instead of the iO9 or iO10.
Find out more in our iO8 review.
Best Oral-B iO9 deal: iO Series 9 discount
- Usual Oral-B iO9 price: Approx. £200
- Now: £162
- Discount: £38
- Available from Amazon, Boots
Once again, the on-page “original” pricing refers to the iO9’s launch price, but in actuality the brush has regularly been available for much less since its launch. But that doesn’t mean this isn’t a great deal – it is. We don’t think we’ve seen it at a lower price.
Emma Rowley / Foundry
Why buy it? The iO9 is very nearly the best that Oral-B has to offer. It’s only bettered in terms of features by the iO10, which has a light-up charging dock that offers brushing coaching, an additional brushing mode and more in-depth smart features. Here’s what you’ll get:
- iO brushing performance
- Colour OLED screen
- 7 brushing modes: daily clean, sensitive, gum care, intense clean, super sensitive, tongue clean, and whiten
- 3D real-time brushing feedback and other smart features
- Light ring pressure sensor
- Fast charging
Who’s it for? If you want the best but don’t mind missing out on the charging dock with extra features.

How we choose these deals
- We’ll only include models that we’ve reviewed.
- As we know the usual prices of each model, that’s what we’ll use to calculate the discount. That means we’ll show what your real savings will be. Only discounts that beat the day-to-day prices will make the cut.
- All deals are from retailers we know to be reputable.
How to find the best Black Friday deals
- Make a list of what you need and don’t be tempted to buy things you don’t want.
- Be sceptical – if a discount looks too good to be true, it probably is.
- Compare prices across retailers: don’t grab a deal in a panic until you’ve found out whether other shops are matching or bettering the price.
- Know the everyday price of items you want to buy before you start discount hunting.
- Stick to approved retailers: yes, that site you’ve never heard of may be offering another £20 off – but if your item is lost or damaged, will you be able to return it or claim your money back?
Should you buy now or wait for Black Friday itself?
This question used to be simpler to answer. It was always: wait! The best deals always arrived on Black Friday itself. But retailers have now changed their sales pattern and offer discounts throughout the month of November. Sometimes retailers will offer a guarantee that prices won’t drop any further.
If there’s a product you need and you spot a good discount, it’s often better to buy it then and there. Stock may run out or the retailer may prioritise other deals towards the end of the month. We’re regularly updating this article as items go out of stock.
The other advantage of buying earlier is that your items will turn up before the final Black Friday rush and there will be less chance of warehouse processing or posting delays.
But if it’s a fun purchase and you don’t mind missing out, you can afford to run down the clock and hope for an additional discount.
