Oral-B Water Flosser Advanced, Cordless Portable Oral Irrigator Handle with 2 Nozzles

Works well leaving your teeth feeling clean. Importantly cleans the base of the tooth and gums. My gum numbers have improved at the dentist after using this product.

This product has helped my teeth and gums. I had a mod gingivitis and dentist recommended flossing every day. I am clumsy and this really does a fine job. It takes a bit when charging after use. It is a bit clumsy to use but no worse than flossing with dental floss

I was just fitted for Invisalign braces. I was told by my dentist that I needed to get a water flosser in order to ensure that my teeth stay clean while I am going through the process. I use this in addition to regular floss before I brush my teeth. It works well and I’m glad I purchased it. The reason why I purchased this one is because it’s the brand that was promoted in the office. However, I did purchase it from Amazon for $10 less. The only caveat is the reservoir is small and you have to refill it a couple of times in order to get the job done. Hence the one star reduction. However I would recommend it.

First of all, I am not a consumer who normally writes review. But I am taking the time to review this product! So I had purchased a simple no brand water flosser on Amazon for around $20, and I was pretty satistified with that because it hold enough water, came with 6 nozzles, and the battery lasted for a long time. However, that one break around a year for some reason couldn't turn on anymore. Still I felt like my money was worth it since I only paid $20. Then I received this Oral B Flosser as a birthday gift. I noticed the difference right away. This Oral B doesn't hold enough water, and I kept having to refill water with it. Secondely, it came with 2 nozzles and both of them doesn't feel as comfortable when I put inside my mouth the angle is just not right. Then what it bothers me most is the battery. I had to charge it quiet frequent when I compare it to the old one. Old one I charged like maybe every 3 weeks to a month. Oral B I charged like every week almost. I am not sure but it annoys me when I need to charge it so often. So I complained to my friend and wondering how much is the price. After I learned that it costs like $100 I was shock. Totally not worth the money!!! Anyway, then I just continue to use it since I have no other choice (and to make the money worth it). Then after like using it 3 weeks again, to a point I need to charge it every 2 times after using it. I just can't take it anymore for a product costing $100 and the quality is not even comparable to a no brand out there. So I decided to purchase another no brand on Amazon again for $16. THIS ONE GOING TO THE GARGABE!!! From the point I start using the Oral to the point I get annoyed of it, maybe it's like only 7 months? All I want to say is I am much happier now with a no brand. Do avoid this and save yourself money! Even if I could only use the cheaper one for 1 year, with $100 I can buy 5 other ones and use for 5 years! I learned my lesson!

Nice

SUMMARY: I am looking for a different model with better build quality. If you don’t like the handle getting smelly over time, despite being fastidious with cleaning each piece after every single use, then this is NOT an option.DETAILS:Overall, it is okay. The water pressure is not too high, which my dentist recommended. He said not to use the high setting because it might cause gum loss.Seems to clean inside the teeth, but it is not a replacement for string flossing; I do both daily.The worst part is that the top of the handle is IMPOSSIBLE to keep clean!!! The design is such that dirty/contaminated water flows down the nozzle into the handle, which cannot disassemble for cleaning.WHY: The inner soft part is enclosed by an outer ring of hard plastic, but there is not a watertight seal to cover the gap, and inconveniently cannot be disassembled to clean in between the soft and hard parts.MORE: I bought this on my dentist’s advice in 2022. 2 years later, it had red, musty smelling gunk in the top of the handle, which I couldn’t get clean. I thought I wasn’t properly storing it between uses, i.e., it was user error. Got replacement unit, and diligently took the water tank out, emptied it, and stored it open out of the handle. I emptied the water tube and nozzle after each use, and stored those separately. So I did everything possible to prevent standing water during storage, but still the top of the handle got smelly in 5 months. I find that infuriating because I don’t want to inadvertently spray nasty red bacteria into my mouth.

I was on the fence about this water flosser for quite a while after purchase. Then I ate some popcorn before a dentist appointment. I went to brush my teeth before heading to the dentist and the water in my building was shut off. I just filled this water flosser with filtered water and did my best. I got to the dentist and apologized for not brushing my teeth. They were quite impressed and actually only found one small bit of evidence of popcorn remaining. That definitely got me off the fence.

Looks nice on the counter (smaller footprint than countertop units) and the handle has a nice feel. That’s essentially where the positives stop. The power settings are very low - I used a 4 on our previous countertop unit and the “Intense” setting doesn’t come close. Not sure what the gum massage or the on-demand settings of the tip and the unit have for benefits. The water runs out very quickly - making a session frustrating as you have to refill close to four times for effective cleaning. I suppose for a pinch, like traveling, it might be worth it, but I’d opt for regular floss at that point. This is going back.
