## Verdict

CNET and ElectricTeeth praise it as the flagship iO model that adds a larger battery, more modes and a larger display than the Series 7.

## For

- Largest battery
- More modes
- Large display
- Dual-motion cleaning for thorough plaque removal
- AI-guided pressure sensor for optimal brushing pressure

## Against

- Color display, app dependency and magnetic charging case mean simply more to break
- Priciest consumables in the category
- Maximizes both failure surface and lifetime ownership cost

## Flagged as one to avoid

This product entered 1 of 10 runs as one buyers cross-shop but should not buy, rather than as a pick. It is published here rather than dropped.

## What this tier means

- B: Good. A solid choice with real caveats worth knowing.

## How to read this

- Each category is researched in four independent runs, one per lens (expert consensus, value, reliability, community pulse). Every run ranks a board of candidates that deliberately includes products buyers cross-shop but should avoid. Placements score on a ranked ladder (LP), and tiers are derived from LP, so no tier is ever assigned by hand.
- LP is this product's points on its own category ladder. It is comparable within a category and not across categories.
- Link status reports what our pre-publication link check found when it fetched the cited URL. It says nothing about the quality of the review.
- A citation with no usable link is listed rather than dropped, and is excluded from the counted total above.
