Get pro 3 3000. It has everything plus pressure sensor. Good battery life and brush heads lasts 2 months plus, get the 4 pack and you are good for 1 year. I have mine for 3 plus years and it works just fine. Tip: place it on a dry surface always and clean the rotor every few days as toothpaste will form up residue on it causing damage.

We have both. Durability seems the same, io3 has very little rubber so no mould. Brush replacement is the same (3 months)

I just bought the pro3 2 weeks ago and Im happy with it.. I was researching and found a lot of complaints with mould on the new io brushes no matter how they cleaned it/stored it. That was enough to put me off.

Oral B Pro 3 3000! Only been a couple of months... But it definitely has a better and stronger motor.

It doesn’t, but it covers the fundamentals. You’ll have to spend more for a pressure sensor I can recommend the Oral-B Pro 3 for one with the pressure sensor

For Oral B it is the model "3 Pro". Made in Germany and has the same power as the "iO" series. iO series is a scam. They made a different receptable so they only use their specific brushes that are 2-3 times more expensive. You get the old style brushes with both the classic and "advanced" head designs, it's just the receptable that does not fit. They advertise connectivity festures that are useless. Avoid those. Oral b vibrates and moves/shakes. Sonicare only vibrates.

Pro 3. Even original brushes for it are WAY cheaper. It has a pressure sensor and works the same. The IO app is a gimmick. The IO series is designed to pull money out of peoples pockets. I bought a mega pack of genuine pro 3 brushes from oral b for 1.2€ per brush on black friday on german amazon. For the IO you'd easily pay over 5€ per brush, sometimes even 10€. It's absurd, it won't last any longer. If you use the io brushes for longer cause they are pricey, they will just do a way worse job.
