Super product for complete oral care while traveling
We use water irrigators (water flossers) every day and when we travel, we miss using them as they are too bulky to carry. I recently got a travel irrigator which I loved and did not think it could be topped but, while I wouldn’t say that this tops it, I’d say it’s comparable but different.<br /><br />The key feature(s) to this unit is that it combines irrigation with brushing and periodontal care (more on that later) in one very small product, the size of a standard electric toothbrush. The other product that I like is single-purpose, just irrigation. Unlike this unit, it does not have the capability to brush or be used as a periodontal pick. On the other hand, that unit is stronger and includes a built-in camera for checking your work as well as UV lighting to sterilize the tips and water reservoir. While both are great, I think that on my shorter trips I will take this, and when I am on a longer trip and have more luggage room, I’ll take the other (which means also taking my toothbrush).<br /><br />This product draws the water from whatever reservoir you use so it can be an 8 oz cup or a gallon jug. How much water you use is up to you. The other unit has a relatively small reservoir and I usually need to refill it once in order to get a good cleaning. This product knows when you choose an irrigation tip or the toothbrush or periodontal tip and the options on the handle change accordingly. On the brush and the periodontal tip, your choices are High or Low and when you use the irrigator you have the choice of Normal, Soft, Pulse, and DIY.<br /><br />As mentioned, the irrigator is not quite as strong as my other portable, but it is certainly strong enough.<br />The toothbrush has the High and Low settings, no timer as my toothbrush has, and the periodontal tip is also high and low.<br /><br />A word about the periodontal tip; it works, and it works well. It will remove plaque quickly and effectively. However, I don’t necessarily recommend that you use it if you do not have a strong and steady hand; this can rip the hell out of your gums if you slip and with the vibration, that’s a very good possibility. If you are able to control it, it’s something I’ve not seen on other units and it’s great. But it can also be dangerous; use it with caution.<br /><br />Although it looks short in some of the pictures, the hose that you clip onto any reservoir is long enough to allow you to move around as you floss.<br /><br />This also comes with a soft carrying bag to carry the tips and hose with you.<br /><br />If I had received this before or when I received the other unit (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09KLM695X - SORRY, as of 1/1/2022 this product is no longer available), I would have named them both “2021 products of the year”. Which you choose will be dictated by your priorities but they are both great products.<br /><br />Recommended.<br /><br />Review of: Oral Irrigator & Toothbrushes & Electric Periodontal Probe Combo - ZoCCee 3in1
