Oclean Flow: what it gives up
- None of Oclean's handles here lists a pressure sensor, the Flow included
- Oclean's page shows two different battery figures
- No travel case listed; the $22 Oclean Ease builds one in
Oclean X Lite: what it gives up
- For $70, no pressure sensor is listed; the $65 quip Ultra Lite and $60 iO3 have one
- Oclean does not name the five modes on this page
- 40-day battery is well short of the cheaper Spark's claim
