Good enough to do the job
This set of a water flosser and electric toothbrush are good enough to do the job, but they aren't great.<br /><br />It's 2023 and small devices like these should all use standardized charging connections. Why is there are barrel connector on the toothbrush and a weird proprietary connector on the flosser? Especially when the included charging cords connect to USB-A on the other end and chargers aren't included, this makes them seem really cheap. The charging connectors ought to be some USB format, or if they are going to be proprietary then at least make them magnetic so that the device can remain sealed and waterproof.<br /><br />The brush works well and has different settings, but I think it's louder than others my family uses and has used in the past. Also, I think the bristles are too soft, as they are much softer than the standard ones that our Sonicare brushes use. This brings me to another point, which is that I don't know where one would get replacement heads. This toothbrush doesn't use heads that would fit a Sonicare, so once the included heads wear out, I'm not sure how to order replacements that I know would fit it.<br /><br />The water flosser works okay. The user really needs to try to keep it upright in order to keep the water flowing, which makes it a pain, but that is just a result of the physical form factor where the water reservoir is built in to the wand. It doesn't put out the same amount of pressure as our Waterpik brand flossers always have, but that's only an issue if you want higher pressure. The nozzles aren't compatible with our Waterpik ones, or with any of the other generic ones that we have used in the past. So, like the toothbrush, once the nozzles all need to be replaced, then it probably means buying an entirely new unit as compatible replacement parts might be frustrating to locate.<br /><br />For the combined price, these are still a decent value and do the job well enough, but for a little bit more you can get something that is designed better and uses standard and easily available replacement parts.
