What’s in my cart?

That image gives it away, doesn’t it? Yes, there’s an electric toothbrush in my cart.

Allow me to provide a little context here. I’ve been using the Oral-B Genius 9000 brush since 2017, then I was offered a smart sonic brush late last year to test and you can read all about it in my Oclean X Ultra S review. As much as I enjoy getting scolded by this talking toothbrush, I find that I much prefer oscillating brushes as the sonic vibrations just don’t give me that ‘clean’ feeling.

Sadly, my old Genius 9000 isn’t charging anymore, so it’s time to get me a new Oral-B. I was eyeing the Oral-B iO6, which is the middle child of the entire iO series and gives you all the brushing smarts from the more expensive models but misses out on some features, like the interactive display and the magnetic charging stand.

Turns out the iO 7, which has the display and the aforementioned stand, is now discounted to the same price as the iO 6 on Amazon – well, the black variant is anyway – so why not just go with the one that has more features? So there you have it: I’m buying me the Oral-B iO 7 in black.

Oral-B iO 7 (black): was AU$579 now AU$211.65 on Amazon

Hello, shoppers! If you’re just joining TechRadar’s live coverage of Amazon’s October Prime Day sale, then you’ve come at the right time.

It’s day 3 of the sale – right now we’re halfway through Prime Big Deals Days – and the good news is that we’ve seen some price drops since the sale began. Case in point: the Bose QuietComfort Ultra SC that began the sale with a 30% discount and are now a whopping 53% off!

There are plenty more deals that upwards of 50% off and one of my colleagues has dug up 16 offers that are currently half price or better and that means there are plenty of savings to be had right now.

Should you wait for Black Friday? That’s up to you – if a price looks right, grab it now and don’t look back later.
