Review on πŸ’¦ Lucuma Cordless Water Flosser: Portable & Waterproof Oral Irrigator with 4 Modes – Perfect for Travel & Home Use by Tina Brown

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Decent portable toothbrush. A bit awkward. Pretty effective.

This is a multifunctional portable dental floss. I have a Waterpik that takes up a lot of space in my bathroom. I also have a Waterpik wearable/wireless device which may be the best product to compare. A popular brand of floss will sleep more and work very close to its corded counterpart. This toothbrush machine doesn't seem so exquisite. It's a lot cheaper, though, significantly less in fact (we're talking less than half the cost). The tip of the floss appears to be thicker, making it appear even larger in the mouth. The brand uses a thinner tip with a smaller bore. Even at its lowest speed, this device will go through the water faster than the Waterpik's lowest speed. I think because the hole in the tip of the floss is wider, more water comes out. I tried the "Warp" function. There is a button to rotate the top 180 degrees, creating a curve/angle. I personally consider it more of a gimmick than an advanced functionality. It seems to make it more uncomfortable to use. I should point out that it doesn't use the same dental floss/floss attachments as the Waterpik. See attached photo where I show a comparison with dental floss heads side by side. The clear Waterpik tip is thinner and the insertion segment is longer. I hope the company sells inexpensive replacement tips. They're IPX7 rated, which makes sense for a water purification product. However, the company still recommends removing the tank for deep cleaning under water. Then use a damp cloth to wipe off the rest of the product. I had a problem removing the reservoir. They recommend removing it, draining excess water and drying until next use. They don't explain how to remove it. I didn't want to break it or force it (which might damage something). After several frustrating attempts, I finally succeeded with a slight ground twist. I'm sure attempts to remove the tank will disappoint most users (unless they're reading this review). This question hits the mark. Battery capacity is not disclosed. They mention that it takes about 3 hours to fully charge a dead battery. Depending on working hours they say 15 days. Recommended use is 2 times a day, each session lasting 1 minute (my usual flossing takes slightly longer than 1 minute, hmm). So, simple calculation: The running time is only about 30 minutes. This is an awful load-to-run time ratio. Attached are photos showing real world images, with a ruler for size reference. An image is included showing three heads of dental floss, each with a different tip. I just use a regular tip with a slight curve. For the price, this is good value for money. This is a decently performing water purification device with reasonable efficiency. My dental hygienist would probably say using this device is better than nothing. ha ha. In general it matches the pictures and the description in the product details. It receives a rating of 3.75 to 4 stars.
