As far as I am aware our speeds and number of movements are correct as per previous communication with Oral-B. Almost all Oral-B brushes have a timer built-in which will give an audible tone via a pause in the brushing at 30 second intervals and then at the end of the 3 minute cycle. You get the standard features like the 2 minute timer, 30 second pacer, rechargeable battery and fading indicator bristles on the brush head.

The handle has a smooth finish and, although not the lightest around, is evenly weighted and comfortable in the hand.We say you don’t need a smart toothbrush as many are not motivated by the app and lose interest quickly. The iO Series 9 has a smart magnetic charging puck that keeps your brush in place, while the iO Series 6 has a more traditional charger, with a peg that fits into a recess in the bottom of the brush handle.

The Smart 5 5000 does not have the enhanced tracking but does offer still a good range of connectivity features and feedback on how you cleaned. Therefore, if you don’t want to use the default Daily Clean mode, you have to change the mode every time you use the brush. The Oral-B iO Series 6 offers Bluetooth connectivity so you can receive real-time feedback on your brushing through the Oral-B app (available for Android or iOS), but it's a pleasure to use even without this.Open the app as you brush and it’ll show when you’ve finished cleaning a section of your mouth (to the app’s satisfaction, at least) and where you’re pressing too hard. The difference appears to be that the 2900 is marketed and sold in the UK primarily, whilst the 2950N is sold within central Europe in countries like France, the Netherlands etc. Progress is tracked using sensors in the brush that have been trained via an algorithm and, when used in tandem with the app, this can highlight areas for improvement over time. The io6 is looking at 6 zones (upper right, upper front, upper rear, lower right, lower front and lower rear).
