The brush-off: Which head actually earns its keep?
If you want the best clean, stick with the original Oral-B iO Ultimate Clean heads, and grab the 10-pack to get the best value. Only opt for the third-party Wokuqiu heads if your budget is stretched tight and you are willing to trade some longevity for a lower price.
Designed with extra polishing blades, these are for folks concerned about tea or coffee stains. They clean well but cost a bit more than the standard version.
This is the same great head as the 8-pack, just in a larger box that saves you a few euros in the long run. It is the sensible choice for anyone who sticks with the brand.
These are the budget-friendly alternative for when you cannot stomach the price of the originals. They do the job, but they lack the refined engineering of the genuine article.

Significant cost savings
Includes hygienic covers
Decent daily performance
What Could Be Better 👎
Quality feels less premium
Variable longevity compared to original
Original versus the knockoffs
Listen, I have spent a lifetime tinkering with tools, and I know that the cheapest part is rarely the best one. The Oral-B iO heads are marvels of engineering, designed specifically to handle the micro-vibrations of the iO motor. When you compare the Ultimate Clean heads against the Wokuqiu alternatives, you can feel the difference in the brush head stability.
The Wokuqiu heads are fine if you are in a pinch, but they do not have that same snap-in precision. If you want your expensive toothbrush to last, do not skimp on the part that actually touches your teeth. You will likely end up replacing the generic ones faster, which eats away at those initial savings anyway.
Why the 10-pack wins the math game
I have never been one to shy away from bulk buying if it makes sense. The 10-pack of the Ultimate Clean heads is the clear winner for anyone with a brain for value. It cuts down on the amount of packaging waste and keeps you stocked for months, which is one less thing to worry about on your shopping list.
The Radiant White heads are a fancy gimmick for some, but if you have stubborn stains, they might earn their spot. Just remember that no brush head will do the work of a good flossing routine, no matter how much you pay for it.
The final word from the workshop
If you want to keep your gums healthy without wasting money on marketing fluff, buy the Oral-B iO Ultimate Clean 10-pack. It is the most reliable tool for the job.
If you are absolutely determined to cut costs, the Wokuqiu heads are your only real choice, but do not come complaining to me if they do not last as long as the originals.
