Oral-B Pro 1000: what it gives up
- One mode only, where the $60 iO3 has three
- Oral-B does not say how the pressure sensor signals
- No travel case, app or battery figure on Oral-B's page; the $65 iO2 at least publishes four weeks
quip Rev: what it gives up
- Rev heads fit only Rev handles and cost $9 each at best
- No app sync; that's what the Rev Smart's extra $15 buys
- quip calls them intensities, not modes, so there is no Gum or Whitening setting
