CVS is selling a $65 Oral-B electric toothbrush for $50, and fans say it's 'powerful'

Have you ever wondered whether electric toothbrushes are worth the hype? Spoiler alert: they are, and there's plenty of research to prove it (more on that below). If you're curious to make the switch from your mediocre manual toothbrush, it'll only cost you $50 today (was $65) for the top-rated Oral-B iO Series 2 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush. This low-price deal is part of CVS's Epic Beauty Sale, a must-shop savings event for those of us who swear by drugstore products (I'm looking at you, Jennifer Garner, Reece Witherspoon and Eva Longoria!). The sale is packed with clearance-level discounts on favorites from brands like CeraVe, e.l.f., Olay, Garnier — all the good stuff. Some, like the Oral-B mouth scrubber, are even $10 off when you spend $25.

Why is it a good deal? 💰

This $15-off deal on the already affordable Oral-B iO Series 2 is perfect for electric-toothbrush newbies or any budget-conscious shopper who's keen to keep their teeth in tip-top shape. But it's not just one of the highlights of CVS's Epic Beauty Sale; it's also cheaper than you'll currently find it at Amazon.

Keep in mind: To take advantage of the offer, you'll need to have a CVS ExtraCare card. If you don't have one, it's easy (and free!) to sign up. Once you're logged in, head to the Deals and Rewards page and add the coupon to your card. You'll see the price reflected at checkout.

Why do I need this? 🤔

Studies show that electric toothbrushes can make a considerable difference in oral health. Take this clinical trial by the American Dental Association, for instance, which showed that 60% of patients rebounded from gum disease after using an electric toothbrush. This 11-year study, backed by the Oral Health Foundation, found significantly less gum recession and tooth decay among those who went electric. Those are some pretty compelling arguments.

The Oral-B iO Series 2 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush is a leader in its category. First of all, it uses micro currents and an oscillating head to reach and reduce plaque way better than a manual toothbrush ever could. It's also easy to operate: just press a button, and this device takes care of the rest, cleaning your teeth (you can choose between three speed/pressure settings) while protecting your gums via an automatic gum pressure sensor. It even reminds you to switch spots every 30 seconds, so you get a full-mouth, dentist-worthy clean.

What the reviewers say 💬

CVS shoppers are totally sold on the Oral-B iO Series 2 electric toothbrush, raving about its quiet performance, long-lasting battery and ease of use. Many mention how "powerful" it is.

Pros 👍

One fan acknowledged that it's an excellent investment in long-term oral health, calling it "a nice, quiet, effective electric toothbrush. I love the round head and three spin speeds. Very efficient cleaning!"

"This is the best electric toothbrush I've ever used," another customer proclaimed. "It took my oral health to the next level. The cleaning performance is top-notch. It doesn't take long for it to charge. And the battery lasts a long time before needing to be recharged."

"It was quiet and massaged the gums without being painful," wrote a five-star reviewer about the toothbrush's performance. "I like the smaller and rounder brush head because it makes it easier to get into smaller places."

The Oral-B iO Series 2 is also lightweight, as this customer noted: "The toothbrush isn’t too heavy or bulky — it's easy to hold."

Another shopper mentioned that the toothbrush is easy to clean, too. "The brush attachment is easy to pull off after each use to rinse, so no gunk builds up."

This final purchaser summed it up best: "They say you know you’re an adult when you have a favorite toothbrush. I’m officially an adult! I love this toothbrush. I won’t go to another brand."

Cons 👎

This toothbrush has a 4.8 overall star rating, which is amazing. But a few customers did point out drawbacks, like the size of the brush head.

"I like the round head, but the head is too bulky for my mouth. I’m not sure why it’s so thick — not for me," one person wrote.

Another felt the bristles were a little too soft for their taste. "I wish the bristles were a bit harder because that's what I'm used to. Other than that, this is a great electric toothbrush and does a good job at cleaning my teeth."
