You can't change settings by tapping a button on the handle as you can with the Oral-B iO Series 9. The design of the handle is very streamlined, with just a power button and a single LED there's no screen, and if you want to change brushing modes you'll have to dive into the Sonicare app on your phone. ![]() It's particularly lightweight, making it easier to use if you experience stiffness in your hands, and uses compact, all-purpose brush heads so there's no need to choose between types and configurations of bristles.
