Exceptional travel flosser!
I think I can speak for most people when I say, "I hate flossing!"  I find it a hassle to measure out the string and then stand in front of the mirror, pulling the floss through each row of teeth<br /><br />I did find a way of dealing with the task.  I bought an electric Waterpik flosser.  I must say, that flosser has entirely improved my oral cleaning habits.  It's like a power wash for your teeth and it does an excellent job of loosening food stuck in-between teeth.<br /><br />As I travel often, I don't have the luxury of taking such a large home flosser unit with me.  My morning routine in my hotel room consists of standing in the mirror with floss in hand.  When I am away from home, I absolutely miss my Waterpik.<br /><br />I actually came upon this portable flosser by accident and it took me by surprise.  I never knew these things existed or even COULD exist.  If you have ever used a home water flosser, you know that they are very powerful and push a hard stream of water against your teeth.  I never imagined that could actually be replicated in a wireless product.<br /><br />In fact, when I ordered this portable water flosser, I didn't actually think it would work.  However, at best, this would be an interesting experiment for me and if I was dissatisfied with the way it performed, I would ship it back to Amazon.<br /><br />The flossing unit is rather large.  It's bigger than holding a full tube of toothpaste in the hand.  It also has a bit of weight to it.  Of course, something like this would need a heavier motor and it would have to be large enough to hold a considerable amount of water.<br /><br />It came out of the box partially charged so I was able to test it immediately.  This flosser included a USB charging cable but you will need to supply your own USB charging brick.  You can use one of the small 5 volt adapters that come with most mobile phones.  I used one of my iPhone charging bricks.<br /><br />The flosser also comes with 4 flossing tips designed for different types of floss applications.  Honestly, I don't know much about what tip does what, but I immediately went for the standard tip as that is what I use in my Waterpik home flosser.<br /><br />This brings me to a concerning point:  I am not certain where I can buy replacement tips or if they are standardized across the board.  For instance, I found that Waterpik tips do not fit in this flosser.  I am hoping the industry has set some sort of standard for the size of these tips so that they can easily be replaced.  The good news is, these tips do last a long time before having to be replaced.<br /><br />When inserting one of the tips into this flosser you simply need to insert and then twist the tip to lock.  The included instructions do a great job of illustrating the process.  The next step is to fill the reservoir with water, secure and turn it on.<br /><br />Here is the point where I became very impressed...<br /><br />This is very powerful for a portable flosser.  The stream of water that ejected from the tip was forceful enough that it removed slivers of food I had stuck in my teeth from dinner.  I mean, I look down in the sink and there they were!  I did have to refill the reservoir more than once to do a complete job, but I knew this would not handle nearly as much fluid as my home unit.<br /><br />There are different modes of strength that include Normal, Soft and Pulse.  I always enjoy the pulsating action as it feels good against my teeth.<br /><br />Bottom line:  If you are thinking of a powerful home flosser, I would first recommend a Waterpik as they are more powerful and hold more water,  However, that's not taking any merits away from the Misiki flosser.  It's more than half the cost, is nearly as powerful, and boasts something that the Waterpik home units can't:  the ability to be portable.<br /><br />I can now take a powerful flosser with me on vacation.  At last, I can ditch the string and enjoy the same flossing benefits on the road that I do at home.  I am really impressed with how powerful this thing is.  Recommended!
