Messy. Buttons in bad spot. Bulky. Must stay upright. Works great.
This water flossed does everything it’s supposed to, and well; however, there are some difficulties using a water flossed of this design: It’s big, bulky, has to stay upright, and the buttons are where you grip the device.<br />I can’t keep from accidentally hitting buttons while using it. If they recessed the buttons, or put the buttons elsewhere, that would be an improvement. Something to prevent bumping the buttons.<br />Needing to hold the machine upright, and it’s size, make it very difficult to maneuver around to where the pick should go.<br />The volume of water this dispenses is more than anticipated. It will fill up a mouth fast.<br />My experience was, it’s messy, and has to be waterproof. You have to resist removing the device from your mouth when it’s on or it will spray everything everywhere. This is a difficult temptation to fight when you bump a button from gentle to pulse, or are just trying to reach the right spot and try adjusting position, or are trying to get rid of a mouth full of water without spitting all over your hand and the flosser.<br />I believe the flossers with a separate base station are easier to use by leaps and bounds. The price point is good on this flosser, and it has a warranty. If you can put up with the aforementioned nuisances of this device, you have an excellent flosser.<br />I took out the dental floss after using this product on gentle. I saw nothing coming off on the floss, nothing at all. It gets crud out from between teeth well. I had food crammed in there. I still am not so sure it can replace flossing, but it’s better than only brushing by a long shot. Plus, it can remove junk from areas floss can’t reach: deep pockets.<br />Overall, I’m happy with the purchase.
