This thing is STRONG
First-time water flosser here, and I do have to say, it is taking a while to get used to. I have it set to the sensitive setting and it still stings my gums! Granted, I am pregnant and haven't had the best dental hygiene during my pregnancy (I throw up constantly and sometimes, gagging while brushing my teeth just isn't worth it) but I have been pretty surprised by how painful this feels. Does it have enough strength to blast away gunk stuck in my teeth? YES. As others have mentioned, the water basin is kinda small and doesn't last but more than a full cleaning, but I also would be the type to change out the water anyways, so it doesn't bother me. Because I am new to water flossing, I didn't expect the setting to shoot out water in sporadic episodes, ie, it's not like a constant outflow of water hitting your teeth. I'm guessing this is so you can move from tooth to tooth without a flow but I haven't mastered doing it quick enough yet. The first time I did it, I sprayed water all over my mirror, sink and face. I'm still getting used to it and not totally sure this method is for me, but I think it's a very powerful, well-made option for those looking to water floss.
