Nice design but just doesn't work well for me

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this flosser for free as a part of a product test. It's very well designed and looks nice; I especially like how compact it is and how you can store the nozzle inside. I was looking for an easier way to floss, but this just seems like too much of a hassle for me. It's hard to use it without splashing water everywhere, and having to spit the water out regularly is annoying. The battery life has been excellent; I've used it for several weeks without needing to charge it. I like that there are three different settings, but I couldn't find one that would work well for me. Using a floss pick just seems easier and less messy than this.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I wanted to love this but it's not for me

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So this flosser had quite a bit of a learning curve- at least for me, I'm a string style flosser who's only dabbled with water flossers in the past. I found it hard to get used to the mouth positioning and having your mouth hang open whilst water runs out doesn't come naturally (I kept wanting to hold it in). Even once I had become more accustomed I still found it awkward to hold and get in the correct position and I found no matter what I always made a mess because inevitably you have to move it in the direct path of the water spewing out of your mouth. Perhaps if the handle was thinner it would have been easier to maneuver. A portable small sized water flosser sounds so appealing but given all the hassle I found it didn't clean any better than my usual string floss. Perhaps a veteran water flosser user would have an easier time with this. I received this product to test in exchange for my honest opinion.

Good but not great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off, I do want to mention that this product comes in a few adorable colors and looks clean and sharp. I feel like this water flosser effectively cleans, but even with the multiple settings available, using this product was not an overall comfortable experience. I'm planning on using this product longer to see if there's just a learning curve for ease of use or if the product just isn't effectively designed. Additionally, the resovior doesn't fit very well underneath my sink faucet so that's another annoyance to deal with.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good for travel but maybe not everyday use
on August 16, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dentist has been urging me to try a travel water flosser, so I was excited to receive this Sonicare flosser through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. It comes with three modes—Clean, Pulse, and Sensitive—plus both a standard and a sensitive nozzle. Since I have gums that bleed easily, I was grateful for the sensitive options. With the standard nozzle, the Sensitive mode felt too weak, but Clean mode made my gums bleed. The best combo for me was the sensitive nozzle on the Clean setting—it struck the right balance of pressure and gentleness. I also like how compact it is for travel and that it fits easily in my carry-on. The tradeoff is the smaller reservoir; I need two refills to get through my whole mouth. Overall, this is good for travel, but won't replace my home flosser.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Decent but needs tweaks to be great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this oral health care item from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I'm not a normal flosser, but only when I know I have something stuck in my teeth, so this was an interesting product to try. It is pretty compact if you need to travel, but that comes with pros and cons. There's three settings and two nozzles types, to find a means for everyone. I recommend reading the instructions first. If you don't get it latched into the right spot, the water container will move and cover the on/off button (and water flies everywhere). You need to make sure the "straw" bringing up the water is in the right spot (at the bottom) or it won't work properly. If you are using a water flosser for the first time, it can get messy (water spraying) until you get used to how to have your mouth open to drain properly. I do love the timer cues to move onto the next area. My biggest issue is the water container size isn't big enough to last a full cycle on the clean setting. You would need to stop and add more water. Maybe some don't mind, but this is an annoying inconvenience for me. It does seem/feel cleaner after using, but the true test will be the next dentist appointment.

This product is pretty good!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how minimalistic and non junky this product is. It’s easy to use and refill and I love the three modes of cleaning the water flosser gives. My biggest complaint is how much water is used. About a minute of usage and the water is gone which may not be too bad for other people. Just something to note! I have received this product for free as part of a product test.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Filling it up is quite the hassle and takes much longer than actually using it. But the power is great and the color is super cute!!

Good but not a replacemement for regular floss
on June 26, 2023

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The water pick works well for its small size, but there just isn't any water pick that can replace regular, manual floss. I received this product for free as part of a product test.
