The iO3 cleans differently to a manual brush. Micro-pulsations move through the round head and into the spaces between teeth and along the gumline, lifting plaque that a flat bristle just pushes around. Teeth feel noticeably cleaner after the first use - that smooth, just-polished feeling you get leaving the dentist.
The gum pressure sensor is the feature most people notice quickest. A ring on the handle glows green when your pressure is right, and switches to red when you're pressing too hard. Most people brush harder than they realise, and doing it consistently wears gums down over time. Having that visual cue right in front of you during the brush makes it easy to correct without thinking about it - especially useful for anyone with receding, bleeding, or sensitive gums.
The 2-minute pro timer pulses every 30 seconds to nudge you through each quadrant, so you spend even time across your whole mouth rather than lingering where it's easy and rushing where it's not.
Three brushing modes let you adjust to how your mouth feels. Sensitive dials things back when gums are tender. Daily Clean is the workhorse setting for every morning and evening. Whitening takes care of everyday staining from tea and coffee - the polishing petals on the Clean & Whiten head buff the surface of each tooth as they clean, so surface stains lift without needing anything extra.
Both handles come with a travel case, so the second handle is just as easy to pack as it is to use at home.
