The latest entry in Oral-B’s iO lineup, the iO2, has been available in the US for ages, and it’s now making its way to this side of the Atlantic. Thinking of upgrading that old manual toothbrush or something similar? Stick around.

You can uncover all the details about the **iO2** in my more extensive [review here](https://www.gadgetlad.co.uk/oral-b-io-series-2-review.html). Just a tip: it vibrates, and not in the fun Saturday night out kind of way.

Price and Pre-orders: US vs. UK Pricing

In the good old US of A, the **iO2** kicks off at $59.94—sometimes even less! As of this writing, folks across the pond can snag it for roughly $63.20 on [Amazon US](https://www.amazon.com/Oral-B-Rechargeable-Electric-Powered-Toothbrush/dp/B0D1DQ7BH9/).

But if you’re residing in sunny Newcastle like myself, prepare yourself. The **UK** pre-order price stands at a ridiculous £115.18 on [Amazon UK](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Oral-B-Rechargeable-Electric-Powered-Toothbrush/dp/B0D1DQ7BH9). Wait until the price drops post-launch; if there’s one thing I’ve learned about Oral-B prices, it’s that they fluctuate more than your mate on a trampoline after a few drinks.

Comparison Time: iO2 vs Budget Contenders

As of the time of writing, you can pick up the **iO3** for £61.99 or the **iO5** for £109.99, both on Amazon. The iO2 is cheaper in the US but not here—what a joke! The bigger concern? The **iO3** and **iO5** offer superior features. You’re shelling out more for less with the iO2 in the UK. Get it together, Oral-B.

Oral-B iO Line-up: A Pricey Array

Let’s keep it real; the **Oral-B iO** series brushes are impressive—but incredibly pricey. From the **iO3** to the absurdly overpriced **iO10**, there’s a brush for every budget, depending on how much cash you’re ready to spend. In the US, prices are around $79.99 to $379.49. In the UK? Who knows—prices fluctuate more than the weather.

Pro Tip: Don’t Pay Too Much, Seriously

If you see an **iO3** priced over £75 or an **iO10** hovering near £800, you’re definitely getting ripped off. Patience is key—wait for a deal. Trust is important, but so is saving a pound or two.

What Features Does the Oral-B iO2 Have? Not Much, Mate

So, what does this **iO2** bring to the table? Here’s what you’re getting for your hard-earned money:

• Effective brushing performance: Oscillates and vibrates. Pretty standard, but it gets the job done.
• 2-minute timer: Your dentist will appreciate it. Includes alerts for brushing each quadrant of your mouth too, so you won’t be lazy.
• Pressure sensor: Prevents you from punishing your gums. It flashes red and slows the brush down. Nice touch, but inferior to other iO models. Sad trombone.
• Three brushing modes: Super sensitive, gentle, and daily clean. Spoiler alert—they’re all gentler than other models.
• Single button operation: One button. Even your grandma could use it.

Battery Life: At Last, Something Interesting

Here’s the **iO2’s** standout feature—it can last **weeks** on a single charge. The other iO brushes? Just 7-10 days if you’re lucky. On the downside, you’ll have to recharge it for a painfully long 24 hours. So, it’s perfect for those who don’t mind leaving it on the charging dock.

When Will the iO2 Be Available and What Will It Cost?

If you’re in the **US**, you can already snag the starter kit (with two brush heads!) for **$65.99** from [Amazon US](https://www.amazon.com/Oral-B-Rechargeable-Electric-Powered-Toothbrush/dp/B0D1DQ7BH9/). Nice one, America.

Over here in the **UK**, we expect it to land between the end of **September** and the start of **October**. You can place your pre-order on [Amazon UK](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Oral-B-Rechargeable-Electric-Powered-Toothbrush/dp/B0D1DQ7BH9?), but I’d hold off for a bit—prices might (hopefully!) decrease.
