I'm writing this review because I am actually
Overly satisfied with this product. There are many high quality brands that have similar "water flossers" with high price tags. The price on this was relatively inexpensive so I decided to try it knowing Amazon's great return policy.

I've had it for just over a week and I'm borderline addicted to how good my teeth feel after using this along with normal brushing and mouthwash. It's a legit "just left the dentist feeling" I can say for the price it is a good value and works great.

This comes with a few extra standard heads, a specialized head with small brush for braces and a tongue scraper. I primarily use the standard head which is just a small jet that allows you to shoot the water stream between your teeth. I also have used the tongue scraper just to try it and it's not bad. Allows you to scrape your tongue while a stream of water cleans and rinses.

Anyone who flosses regularly knows it sucks and can be gross. Let's face it, you are ripping old food out of your teeth. It's a necessary evil for a healthy mouth. I used the small plastic floss picks for a while and they do a decent job. Dental hygienists usually argue it's not the same but I think it's better than not flossing at all. Now my routine is a quick floss with the floss picks followed by this water flosser - and it's fantastic.

The unit is well made and has a few different modes. I stick to the standard mode which is a constant jet of water. It's aggressive and can be intimidating at first so here are some tips I think will help:

1. I use slightly warm water. Cold water blasted at your teeth is not fun. Warm water is a way better experience. The reservoir is easy to fill right from the sink.
2. It will take a couple tries to figure exactly how to use it. If you just hit the power button it will jet water everywhere before you get it in your mouth. My suggestion is put it in your mouth, aim the head between your teeth, close your mouth and then hit the power button. Once it starts you just move it from tooth to tooth between your teeth. Once you get the hang of it it's great. I do my top teeth, spit out, then do the bottom row and spit out. I follow it up with brushing and mouthwash. Literally the fresh from the dentist feeling.
3. The reservoir is small so it runs out quickly but it's so easy to refill I wouldn't call it an issue. If it were larger it would be bulky and the other brands that have a big tank and hose are just too much to deal with. After a week of using I can quickly do all my teeth with one fill. I usually do a second round as well because im addicted.
4. Be careful of turning it on when it's not in your mouth. The jet is strong and could shoot you in the eye. Not joking.
5. It may be awkward at first but once you get used to doing it you get better at it and it's much easier. The power button is your friend. I turn it on and off to control the jetting to get more time out of the reservoir and to prevent spraying everywhere.
6. It has a USB charger and it works well. It seems to go almost a week without charging and I use twice a day sometimes - because I'm addicted.
Overall it's great value for the low price. I'm Not sure how long it will last but I would definitely get another one if this one failed.

My dentist told me to start using a water flosser. I had an older one and it took up so much room on my small bathroom counter. I searched and found the portable ones. I didn't want to spend lots of money and I read the reviews. This is the one I chose. I have loved it! It doesn't take up make room. It stays charged for a long time. and I like that I can take when I travel. It holds enough water for each use and it is easy to operate. Now my husband wants me to get him one!

First time using one of these and it really makes a difference! Lowest setting takes some getting used to for someone new but it's easy to use and cleans great!

EDIT APRIL 14, 2022: I bought this in late June 2021, loved it, and left a positive review. However, yesterday while I was using it, it just shut off and stopped working. I thought it needed charged, so I put it on the charger overnight, but it did not charge. So it's toast after about 10 months. I thought I should add this to my review. I haven't decided how I feel about it. All of the positive things I said about it remain true, and I enjoyed using it and it was easy to use. I don't remember what I paid for it, it's currently about $30. Is 10 months a reasonable working life for something in that price range? Should it have lasted much longer? I guess that's up to each person to decide for themselves. I need to replace it, and I haven't decided yet whether I will just re-order this same one, or try something different. But all of the positive things I said in my original review are still true, it just stopped working sooner than I would have expected, and I thought in the interest of full disclosure I would add this to my review.

Original Review July 2021:

My dentist suggested I get a water flosser. I researched a bunch, both in local stores and here on Amazon, and finally chose this one. I feel it was a good choice. I can't say enough good things about this water flosser. I'm going to try to mention most of the things that I had questions or concerns about while looking for one.

It's extremely easy to use. It's easy to fill with water. You can fill it straight from the tap, but I have nasty tap water, so I put spring water in a glass measuring cup, warm it slightly in the microwave, then pour it in. The water reservoir has an opening to fill it, with a nice sturdy hinged plastic cap, or the reservoir also removes entirely from the unit and you can fill it from the top. It holds about 3/4 C, and I do fill it twice to do my teeth thoroughly.

It has four modes: normal, soft, pulse, and custom. The booklet that comes with it gives instructions for setting the custom setting. I haven't tried it yet because I'm happy with the 'soft' and 'pulse' settings.

It comes with 5 tips: 2 regular ones; 1 that has a little rubber tip for getting into the pockets in your gums; one with a hard brush for braces; and a tongue cleaner (an often overlooked thing, but useful!) They are easy to swap out. I especially like the addition of the pocket cleaner. I can't vouch for how effective it is, but it's got to be better than regular floss, which can't get into pockets. I alternate between that one and the regular tips.

It comes with a USB charging cord, but not the adapter part you plug into a socket, though you can use any adapter (like for a cell phone), and also can plug it into your computer's USB port or a portable battery pack, so including one really wasn't necessary (I have enough of them floating around already!). I only had to charge it for an hour or two when it first arrived for it to be fully charged. I don't know how long the charge lasts because I've only had it for 2 days, but with the ease of charging it, I'm not concerned about that. I've used it multiple times in those 2 days, and it hasn't slowed down yet.

I have just found it very comfortable to hold and easy to use, I like having the different tips, and I think it is a great product. I'm glad I chose this one, I can't see the point in spending twice as much or more for some of the others that don't have anything that this one doesn't have.

Caught this item on a deal. It is the perfect adjunct to a tooth cleaning routine. It is refreshing,effective,durable and affordable.Try it and reap the many benefits to dental/gum health.
