Oral-B pitches the iO2 as the one-button way into its iO range: the handle starts on its super-sensitive setting, and the only control is a single button. It is also the only iO whose battery life Oral-B puts a number on in the US, four weeks per charge. The pressure sensor slows the motor and turns red when you push too hard.

These are facts about features and listings, not a statement that the brush prevents or treats anything. What a pressure sensor does · What the ADA Seal means

Three years of ownership

Handle: $65
Heads (11 × $7.22): $79.42
Three-year total: ~$144

12 heads over 36 months at Oral-B's stated 3-month interval, less 1 head in the box (assumed: the maker doesn't list the box contents). Head price: Oral-B iO Ultimate Clean 9-count, $64.99 on oralb.com. How this is worked out

What the extra money buys: Same iO magnetic drive (Oral-B's name for it; no speed published) and a pressure sensor as the Oral-B iO Series 3; across the fields compared here (modes, app, screen, case, charger, heads, battery) the extra $5 buys nothing listed. See the Oral-B iO Series 3.

Features

Three modes: Super Sensitive, Gentle, Daily Clean
Two-minute timer that alerts every 30 seconds
Pressure sensor slows the brush and lights red
Low-charge indicator
Fits every Oral-B iO brush head

What it does well

The only iO in the US range with a published battery figure: four weeks per charge
Pressure sensor both slows the motor and lights red, so overbrushing gets two signals
30-second quadrant alerts, which Oral-B does not spell out for most of the pricier iO handles
Shares heads with the whole iO range, so a later upgrade keeps your spare heads useful

What it gives up

iO heads cost more per unit than Oral-B's older round heads and fit nothing else
Oral-B doesn't say whether a travel case comes with it; the iO4 is the cheapest iO that confirms one
App tracking isn't described here; Oral-B's pages confirm it from the $100 iO4 up

The two lists above are drawn from the maker’s own pages and prices, not from owner reports. Where owner discussion has been read it appears in its own section below, so the two are never mistaken for each other.

What owners say

No owner discussion has been read for the Oral-B iO Series 2 yet. This section stays empty until there is something real to put in it.

How it moves

The round head turns rapidly back and forth against each tooth; you guide it slowly from tooth to tooth.

Heads: Takes Oral-B iO heads only (Ultimate Clean, Gum & Sensitive, Ultimate White, Targeted Clean); non-iO Oral-B heads do not fit.

Where these figures come from

Every figure is the maker’s own, from its US product page, spec sheet or store, and the ADA listing comes from the ADA’s own site. A figure the maker does not publish is left out rather than estimated. The three-year cost, gum-safety and travel chips are worked out from those figures here.
