Most of what actually protects your teeth is here for a small fraction of the iO's price: effective oscillating-rotating cleaning, a two-minute timer with quadrant pacing, and a pressure sensor. The Pro 3's sensor lights up a ring around the whole neck when you press too hard, which is arguably clearer than some pricier models. There's no app and no colour screen, but neither does much for your gums, and brush heads are the cheap, widely stocked standard Oral-B range, which keeps long-term running costs down. For most people, this is the sensible buy.

The good & the bad

  • Effective clean with a genuinely useful visible pressure sensor
  • Uses affordable, widely available standard Oral-B heads

Cons

  • No app tracking or on-handle display
