Oral-B iO Series 3
Oral-B iO Series 3 — My strongest all-around recommendation because it combines the cleaning feel and pressure-sensing people usually want from a premium brush with a less extreme price than the flagship iO models, and it appears repeatedly across recent recommendations as a top default pick.
Perplexity
Oral-B iO Series 9
Oral-B iO Series 9 — Excellent for committed tech users because it adds seven modes, fast charging, a display, and AI brushing recognition, but its extra cost produces diminishing real-world oral-care returns.
