The Good, the Bad and the Unusable
This BAIBB Water Flosser/Electric Toothbrush Combo is both good and bad.<br /><br />The good part is the toothbrush. Small, compact yet relatively heavy for its size, the power unit has an attractive semi-matte black finish that’s easy to grip with wet hands. One button turns it on, switches among Clean, White and Sense modes.(the tiny Operating Instructions manual explains the modes) and turns it off. Simple. It comes with four identical brush heads (it would have been a nice touch to number or color-code them for different users) and a USB charging cable with a nonstandard plug that interfaces with the base of the power unit.<br /><br />The bad part is the water flosser. It’s HUGE! It’s way too big, heavy and unwieldy to even hold in the hand, let alone maneuver it to and fro, up and down, in and out, in order to floss. I don’t see how any manufacturer could think this is a good design, but I’ve seen a few other water flossers that are similar, and I can’t use any of them. Why not a reservoir-pump unit that sits on the sink with a flexible tube connected to the flossing head? Maybe there are sound engineering reasons for this design, but I’m at a loss to explain it. In any event, the unit comes with seven flossing heads of three different types, a USB charging cable (again with a nonstandard interface) and a tiny instruction manual, so if this is your kind of appliance, you’ve got everything you need. But mine will sit under the sink unused.<br /><br />My three-star rating is an average of five stars for the toothbrush and one star for the flosser.
