Philips Sonicare Cordless Power Flosser 3000 + 2 Additional Nozzles (4 Total) White, HX3827/21

I have trouble flossing with a traditional string, and little floss picks weren't doing their job well. So, my dentist suggested I get a water flosser. And I'm happy to say that it's been working well for several months! The dentist has noticed a marked improvement, and I'm no longer left with bleeding gums after an appointment. The shape of the reservoir makes it easy to clean out, though getting water out of it entirely is tricky. The current is strong, especially when fully charged, and I can get by charging it once a week even though I floss three times a day. Overall, I'm happy I got it.

Easy to hold and operate. Thoroughly cleans the teeth and plague from the gum lines. Great product for the price

I think it’s a pretty good product. I don’t know if it’s actually better than flossing, but that being said it does a good job. I’m a pretty picky person, so I wouldn’t use it if I didn’t think it worked as well as flossing. Battery life seems good, never had any problems with water leaking. It’s enough water in the container to do my whole mouth.

I have close teeth at the top and wider opening towards the gumline. I am always carrying tooth picks or dental floss! This leaves my teeth and gums feeling refreshed and clean! Without the pain. Excellent product for excellent price! Water doesn’t leak out, comfortable in my grip and is powerful yet gentle enough to get between my teeth. I don’t find it to be noisy, you can hear it but it’s not loud.

A brand name that I am already using but this is a big improvement as it is compact and has opened up more space on my limited counter. Comes with two spray heads and has multiple pressure settings as well as a timer to be sure you cover all areas. Has two options to fill it, so quick and easy. Love it.

My dentist recommended getting a waterpik for cleaning my gums; I saw this one and thought it might be more effective at that job. It's not. It has a poor design, especially for the price, and it's a genuine pain in the neck to use. First, the water reservoir doesn't hold enough water to actually get through a complete cleaning (unless you're missing a lot of teeth). You'll be refilling it at least once during a cleaning, which means you have to turn it off, unhook the reservoir, fill it, and resume. Second, it's incredibly messy; when you turn it on you expect water to shoot out of the cleaning head (naturally), but it also shoots out of a hole in the back of the unit, spraying your hand, the wall, or whatever else gets in the way. I've learned to position a finger over the hole so that most of the water doesn't escape, but there doesn't seem to be a way to stop the leaks. I'm not sure why it's dong this, but it's aggravating. Third, the stream of water really isn't strong enough to do much flossing, possibly because half of it is flowing out the back of the unit and reducing the water pressure. Even the "deep clean" setting is too weak. Fourth, the unit is thick and a little heavy, not a great idea for smaller hands, and the position of the controls on the handle make it difficult to actually see the settings when you're trying to use it. You're supposed to start it up with the nozzle facing the sink, then apply it to your mouth, which guarantees spraying water over something. I've learned to start with the nozzle in my mouth to keep things neat. Fifth, it comes with two different cleaning heads, and neither one really seems to do a great job. You're supposed to store the other head inside the reservoir--there's a little hole where it fits--but the slightest bump dislodges it so it sinks to the bottom of the reservoir. Sixth, it isn't quiet at all--I have a Sonicare electric toothbrush that's been criticized in reviews for being too noisy, and this thing is at least twice as loud. Seventh, it doesn't come with any kind of a charging stand, but instead requires that you pull up a rubber cover and insert the specialized charging cable into the device. I really can't recommend it. If you need a water-streaming device to clean your gums, look elsewhere.

My oral hygienist thought I’d benefit from a water flosser, but I didn’t want something that took up counter space. This unit is great! Easy to fill and use, holds a charge for about two weeks.

It works OK, but not great. I had no problems with the directions and set up. PROS Battery operated and rechargeable through USB Compact size that doesn’t eat up space on my counter Small enough and convenient to fit in my overnight bag when traveling CONS Reservoir doesn’t hold enough water to complete a cleaning. I have to refill it at least twice It doesn’t provide a powerful stream for cleaning I get water all over when trying to clean my teeth I’m not sending it back because I need a water pik for travel. I’ve purchased a more tradition unit for my at home needs.
