Review on Cordless Water Flosser Teeth Rechargeable by Natalie Villa

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nice addition to the large irrigator I have at home.

I get something stuck in my gums all the time as I think I have crevices which are very comfortable. So even more than flossing, I've made water brushing a regular part of my routine. When bits of food get stuck in my gums for a long time, the gums become inflamed and flossing doesn't help. [one does not replace the other] The problem is that I don't take my "big" irrigator with me when I travel. because it's absurd. During my long absence I have come across occasions where I have had to use the end of a disposable sword silk to stab food to the other side. Also kind of absurd. Enter the portable option. To be honest I didn't even know they existed before I figured I should look for one. After looking at some reviews I decided to go with the low cost, low risk option and after making sure the option I chose had good to good reviews I went with this option. I'm not disappointed. Points: 1) It's not as powerful and efficient as my full size irrigator. I don't care as it still serves its purpose. Since it saves me from ripping my gums while traveling with disposable medieval tools, I'd say it's a hit in terms of functionality. By not that powerful or effective I mean it doesn't seem that powerful when using it, but in the end it takes a little more patience to fill up the tank or more time to attack certain points, he still gets it clean 2) I never needed extra advice. There are several and I've only used one so far. I might use a few more one day, but the fact that they're proprietary doesn't bother me. 3) It's actually pretty quiet. Definitely quieter than a home station. Not loud enough to wake up the family. He doesn't purr very softly. Maybe a fiercely aggressive purr? 4) Folds in on itself! At the touch of a button, the tip is removed, stored in the case, the tube is retracted into the case, the case is stored in the tank. It all fits into a case that still has room for all the attachments that come with it, but everything is tidy, small, and easy to pack. Quick and easy to set up, the tank is removed by twisting and pulling back after a quick fill. 5) Rechargeable. I almost wish the battery was user serviceable and could be easily replaced at some point, but the reality is that's not necessary. With regular use, it's easy to tell when it needs to be replaced. Without regular use, this will quickly become noticeable, but at low cost and easy replacement. I would argue that this is not a deal breaker. The fact that it's rechargeable and easily rechargeable via USB makes it perfect for on the go. As for battery life. I've been using it every few days for a few weeks and it still needs to be charged. If one day I went abroad again (thank you very much COVID) I would pack it up without hesitation. I speak of this particular scenario because when I travel to a far away or unfamiliar place I still try to pack light and in most cases space is at a premium. Since the comfort of my gums is very important to me, I would sacrifice an extra pair of rolled-up shorts to carry this floss around.
