Just what the hygienist ordered
This is great, no more tape between teeth, the jets work well. Defo use warm water tho can be quite the surprise if you go straight in cold.
Use as directed over the sink as it can get a little messy, especially at first.
But seeing good results and gentler on mouth.
I absolutely love Waterpik’s waterflosser. It is the best water flosser that I have used. It leaves me teeth feeling extremely clean, I get so many compliments on my teeth now. It’s so easy to use and it is not big so it is also easy to store away. It is also cordless so no hassle when using it. I would recommend this product 1000%, it’s upped my oral hygiene routine and makes me more confident in my teeth.
Holy Grail Product!!
This product has become an essential part of my routine! My teeth have literally never felt cleaner – its really easy to use and I can get right to the back of my wisdom teeth. Would definitely recommend!
The best flosser on the market!
I’ve had some other water flossers in the past and they don’t compare to this one, it’s so much stronger! It cleans between teeth really effectively and holds a lot of water. The charge lasts for ages which is also a bonus. It’s easy to use once you get used to using one, you would 100% notice a difference, I have way less plaque now. I HAVE to use morning and night otherwise my teeth just don’t feel clean at all!
Loving my new flosser!!!
My wife has been telling me to get one of these for a bit. Went for a Waterpik as I know they are meant to be the best with all the clinical claims apparently. Takes a bit of getting use to using, but the amount of extra stuff you remove is scary. It has about 45 seconds of water in the back, which to be honest is enough, and no hassle to fill up every time you use it. Simple to use and seems to be holding its charge well. (not had to charge it up just anyway). You certainly feel the difference afterward, and feel smug that I am now one of those people that do actually floss (and not lie about it) – Money well spend. Very happy with my purchase.
This is the second time I have purchased a waterpik. The performance of this brand is exceptional and highly recommended by dentists especially if u have dental implants, crowns, bridges or braces ad its less invasive as regular flossing. That being said it’s very powerful and you want to make sure u try it with warm water and place in your mouth and aim before you turn it on insuring you close your mouth around it as you will get water absolutely everywhere if you do not. The battery lasts forever and the water tank is enough to do the top set of teeth thoroughly and refill for second. Your teeth and gums will feel amazing. We’ll worth the money.
Use it every day after brushing my teeth. It always finds some bits of food which the toothbrush didn’t get. I hate flossing so this water flossing is perfect. Easy to fill up with water. Only charged it once when I bought it. Charge seems to hold a long time. Can’t fault it.
You just need to practise
This is my first water flosser. On first use I made a bit of a mess, but after a bit of practise I’m managing perfectly. I love the clean feeling I’m getting. So much better than the stringy stuff.
Cleans well, feels great.
When you first use it, you’ll feel like you’re under attack, especially if you use the higher setting. The jet is very focused and laser like. It feels like it’s getting thoroughly between your teeth and cleaning out any and all bits of left over, or trapped food. Leaves you feeling very clean. Great product.
Word if advise. When you first use it, do not just bare your teeth and switch on, it’ll spray off your teeth and all over your mirror and any other surfaces that happen to be within a 50 foot radius. I have my mouth only slightly opened allowed the water to flood out as I use it.
Also, you may notice blood as it gets into all those pockets or gaps you’ve not been able to clean out before, this will pass if you keep using it.
Although I think it’s a great product, I do think it’s somewhat expensive.
This was my first water flosser so have nothing to compare it with. My gums stopped bleeding almost immediately after starting to use it, which was the main reason for purchase – so very happy with it. Lots of splashing, but that how the thing works – you do have a jet of water in your mouth that will come out if you do not close it as much as possible. The two pressure settings are Ok, although I find the high one sometimes hurts my gums, and the low one is not as efficient. From the attachments I only found one useful (the simple nozzle).
On the negative side, the battery life is going down – at the beginning could do a week or so without recharging, now it requires recharge more often. The water tank lid comes open all the time, need to be closed really firmly, and sometimes leaks a little bit. So a bit flimsy and could do with more pressure settings, but still works great.
This is the first water flosser I’ve tried, but I was very keen to give it a go as an alternative to regular floss to keep on top of my dental hygiene.
I was surprised how big it is when I opened the box, it’s bigger than my electric toothbrush, but when you see the size of the water tank it makes sense.
Set up and charging were very simple and I was up and running in no time. I started with Luke warm water and despite not having especially sensitive teeth, I quickly changed to warmer water as I found it quite uncomfortable with cooler water. I needed to refill around 3 times to feel I’d finished my whole mouth. To use, I find it quite awkward – you need to lean forward, but then you can’t really look in the mirror and see what you’re doing, so it all feels a bit hit and miss to me. Perhaps I haven’t perfected the technique yet!
After the first couple of uses I had some slight soreness to my gums and a little blood, but nothing major and it did improve over time. My dentist recommended I use an enamel repair toothpaste so I usually use the Waterpik first and then brush – otherwise all the toothpaste is completely washed off my teeth – but it feels like the wrong way round in a way.
Overall I think it’s good, and I do use it. It’s not exactly the highlight of my day but hopefully will make my dentist happy, at least!
The waterpick itself in comparison to a standard electric toothbrush looks and feels quite unwieldy at first.
It comes with 4 heads. 2 standard classic which sprays a jet of water, a plaque seeker tip and an orthodontic tip for use with braces and general use.
The instructions that are supplied are simple to understand. It’s recommended to charge for a day for best performance.
Charge seems ok..
I used a small flask of warm water to keep topping it up instead of the hot tap. Best for sensitive teeth.
I tried brushing my teeth first with the electric toothbrush then with the waterpick. I found I did remove some odd bits that I must have missed while brushing.
There are 2 settings for pressure, I found the higher speed best.
It does take some getting used to, the main thing is make sure the tip is in your mouth before starting otherwise water will go everywhere.
It says upto 45 seconds of use but that must be on the slower setting. 30 seconds was nearer I think but does run out of water sooner than I expected.
I think the pressure is ok but certainly no where near what you get at the dentist but that’s to be expected with battery operated units I guess.
Maybe a finer jet would be better. The brunch attached for plaque is ok as it can be us| to dislodge any more awkward bits.
Overall a decent product that is a handy addition to an electric toothbrush.
I think it would probably be second best to the electric waterpick, but can’t say for certain as I haven’t tried one of those to compare.
Not sure if I would buy another if this broke though as I also find tiny brushes very good as well.
Good interdental clea
This is one of those kind of things that if you have never used one before, you will need to work out how it works best for you and takes some getting used to as well. This is a handheld and supposedly more portable and convenient version of a water flosser (or water pick), it is an all in one item with a small water chamber fitted containing up to about 200ml of water which is easy to remove and fill.
The unit arrived already charged so was able to use it straight away, it is fully rechargeable using the supplied USB cable. The power input socket is located underneath the power and setting buttons but has no seal which i don’t like. Personally i don’t think this is well located as water will go down the front of the unit and could potentially leak into the socket but with careful use the tip is rotatable so you can face the controls and socket to the back when using instead.
The water flosser is surprisingly powerful, there are only 2 settings (just high or low). It comes with an assortment of attachments which are easy to fit and remove. I used the fine tip only with the normal setting and could really feel the power of each shot of water. This does fire out water very quickly and found it challenging to use at first, not have water pouring out of my mouth and also not hit the back of the throat, which actually really stings. The chamber has enough water to work one cycle of just under a minute which is enough, a full charge of the unit lasts a couple of weeks before recharging too.
These are pretty effective once you get to grips with them, they are good for cleaning and rinsing those tight and hard to reach areas and you do feel like you get a good interdental clean but i still don’t think it quite replaces dental floss which i still use as well. Currently on offer at just under just over 57 (at the time of review), they don’t work out for everyone but it is something that does need time to get used to. For me it is a nice to have item to add to my dental hygiene routine.
Good, but hard to justify
I feel slightly conflicted by this item. On the one hand, I like it. On the other hand it’s seemingly very similar to an older model from the same brand that I own and cost 10 less.
** In the box **
– Water flosser
– 4 tips (2x classic tip, 1x plaque seeker, 1x orthodonti
– USB charging cord
It has 2 pressure settings and last for 45 seconds on a tank of water.
** Cordless Pearl vs Cordless Plus **
Here is where it gets complicated for me. I own the Cordless Plus model. It is functionally identical however instead of getting 2 classic tips you get 1 classis and 1 tongue cleaner. I have been using it for almost 2 years and thar 1 classic tip doesn’t seem to bad so only relevant if you want to share the device with somebody else.
The other difference is that the Cordless Plus comes with a main plug (UK 3-pin) instead if a USB cable. So, for travelling clearly the Cordless Pearl is preferable but it’s quite a big and bulky item and I don’t think many people will actually take this with them when travelling. The charge lasts a few cycles anyway so you may not even need the charger.
** Conclusions **
It’s a good flosser. It works well. The question here is whether you need tonspend 10 more (at the time of writing) for an item that gives you less variety of tips and a USB instead of a mains charger? If you want to share this with a parter it’s maybe the right option but otherwise pay less and get the tongue cleaner included with the Cordless Plus model
