quip Smart Rechargeable Sonic: what it gives up
- Still a single gentle mode
- Same $55 as the quip Rev, which has the pressure light this handle doesn't list
- Eight hours to recharge, against about three for the iO7 and iO8
- No live ADA Seal listing names it; the ADA's rechargeable-quip page no longer resolves
quip Ultra Lite: what it gives up
- No automatic app sync; for $5 more the Rev Smart has it
- $9 per pod at best
- 30-day charge is a third of the Smart Rechargeable's
- Mirror mount sold separately, though the $30 original quip's cover doubles as one
