4190 ProFloss Waterflosser, Middle, White

I have a hand-held Waterpik which I initially liked using, and which was very useful in the immediate aftermath of two of my wisdom teeth being removed. After a while, however, the Waterpik simply became annoying. The design is horrible - it's obnoxiously large and poorly engineered with a battery that is too small and a really nasty jack-plug type setup for recharging, rather than a docking system. It's a nightmare for anyone who likes to travel light. It is so incredibly loud that you'll wake up your partner if they are sleeping. Worst of all, it needs for the reservoir to be re-filled at least four times during a water flossing session. Waterpik make counter based units which do have a usably-sized reservoir, but they are even larger. Panasonic make a more aesthetically pleasing hand-held unit, with quality Japanese engineering, but it still has the same basic undersized reservoir problem.So, the perfect solution is this great product. I was quite skeptical that something so cheap would work. But it is tremendous. It's tiny, convenient, comes with a little pouch and disconnects and reconnects from the tap in about a second. It comes with two tips (one pink, one blue) which can be swapped out in a second also. In use, you get full control over pressure and temperature, it's completely silent, and you never have to fill up a reservoir ever again.Installation is a cinch for all but the most intellectually challenged - it should take no more than about two minutes. For me, the adaptor didn't fit the tap threads, but a trip to Ace Hardware for a $3 thread adaptor fixed the problem. You may have to budget for a trip to the hardware shop (in terms of both time and money) to buy a thread adaptor also.Now that it's working, it's absolutely brilliant. It's akin to a miniature car wash for each of your teeth. My mouth never felt so clean save for immediately after a trip to the dental hygienist. I get a really nice tingly fresh feeling in my now amazingly healthy gums. Prior to using this product I had an issue with bleeding gums, but now this problem is gone completely.There aren't really any major downsides to the product. Initially I wasn't entirely sure about the build quality, but it's worked perfectly for the past six months, being used twice a day, every day. Were it to fail, given that it is so cheap, I'd buy another one immediately, but given my experience of using it, I think one might get several years use out of it. There isn't the pulse-pulse action of the electric units, but this doesn't bother me at all - if anything I think the pulse-pulse approach is probably engineered more to conserve water (from the undersized reservoirs) than for any therapeutic benefit. It's not something that I miss.I really can't recommend this product highly enough. And I also implore you not to buy a Waterpik.

This works great! I use it after every meal (I work from home so I’m home all day). I love being able to use lukewarm water. That makes a huge difference with my sensitive teeth.

I'm a huge fan of waterflossers in general, so once I stumbled across this tool, I had to give it a try. Here's what I found:Like other reviewers have stated, the water pressure of this flosser isn't as high as electric waterflossers. BUT it is definitely strong enough to give your teeth a very deep cleaning.Installation is pretty much a breeze. Just read the instructions and follow the steps for your particular faucet. If you have a faucet from the 90's or later you should have no trouble at all. Older faucets may require an adapter.This is flosser incredibly convenient. I never used my waterpik as much as I wanted to, due to the hassle of filling the reservoir, plugging it in, finding enough room to put it on the sink, cleaning it out after, etc. etc. etc..... This is as simple as snapping it onto the faucet, and turning on the water.And just a quirky side note, this flosser seems to fall out of my hands quite often, where my waterpik never did. I don't know if it is something with the ergonomics or the cord is a little more stiff. Naturally, when this happens, the entire bathroom becomes a shower. It's not a deal breaker or anything... Just a little quirk that I thought I'd mention.Also, the price is fantastic! I paid almost $100 for my waterflosser, which just sits under my sink unused now.

My dentist suggested I use waterpik - of course I have trouble keeping my tooth clean and flossing - and have some sensitive teeth so I was a little unsure about using a water flosser - but after looking at 3-4 different products, came across this one. Right away I thought this one was different and the price was right so I figured lets give this a shot.After a week of using it, I am thoroughly impressed. Swapping out my faucet aeretor with the one that came with it was a piece of cake, and the first time was messy because I had no idea how to hold it inside my mouth, but once I got the hang of it, I think this is amazing. Using this after a meal is a major eye opener to see all the food particles coming out. I think there are some really good reviews for this already, so I don't want to repeat all the good things that people have been saying, but for me I think there are some positives that others may consider:1. Water temperature - you control the water temperature dynamically by controlling your faucet - make your water warmer, your spray is warmer - unlike container based devices where the temperature starts with whatever temperature water you put in the container, this is a huge plus.2. Power - when I saw "faucet-powered" I cringed a little - can faucets deliver the same power that motors can? The answer is a resounding yes! In fact this one has 4 power settings - I started with 4 because I didn't think that will be powerful enough. It almost felt like it will cut my gum. So turning it down to 3 and further controlling the faucet I can set it to virtually any power I am comfortable with - and if I need a little more power for my back teeth and a little less for my front - that is no problem at all - just increase the faucet power a bit!3. Noise - this thing is virtually silent except for the sound of the water. Thats perfect since my sonicare while great does get a little annoying with its whining noise. This one all you hear is the water.So far, I am impressed and for this price, I don't mind if it breaks in a year.

Lightweight and attaches easily to faucet. I would recommend using a piece of fabric to cover the aerator/adaptor while removing and/or tightening with a wrench to avoid leaving marks. I really like that I don’t have to keep refilling a tank so I have uninterrupted use. The flow is good. Perhaps not as fine as a Waterpik but as another reviewer Saadi “it gets the job done”. I use it on setting 2 and it works great. A hygienist advised me to use a water flosser at only half strength to avoid pushing food particles in instead of out.I bought it on December 27, 2017 and on October 26, 2018 the faucet adaptor fell off. When I tried to screw it back on I noticed a crack in it which rendered it useless. So I guess it lasted 10 months.

The is no proper on/off switch. You need to keep a hand on the focet, which is not ideal
