Great Flossing Tool...short lived for the price!

This tool is great for flossing....however, it lasted six months before dying. This experience suggests it is NOT worth the expense paid for the product. Make it last at least a year and then maybe it would be worth it.
Pros: great at flossing so long as it works
Cons: lasted only 6 months!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello,
We are not happy to hear about your experience with our Philips Sonicare AirFloss. Your product carries a warranty of 2 years and in this instance, we would best recommend you to contact our Consumer Care team on the following link: http://philips.to/1lvKHwx under the Toothbrushes / Sonicare section and our representative with expertise in handling this product will be happy to help you. Thanks.
I love my AirFloss. I am a dental hygienist (30+ years), looking for innovative ways to remove inter-proximal plaque. I have tried every type of floss and interdental cleaning device that is on the market. I am so pleased with this new technology, that I am purchasing the AirFloss for family and friends for Christmas.
The use of oral rinses may be therapeutic. When you have completed the use of the AirFloss, refill the reservoir with water and flush the unit by discharging enough water to remove the oral rinse.
The AirFloss is easy to remove plaque from crown margins, veneers, braces and implants. Just make sure the jet of water/air is perpendicular to the tooth or implant surface.
Clarify to consumer that only water can be put in the "well."

You cannot put any liquid inside the well other than water. The alcohol in other liquid products such as Listerine will cause it to stop working. Try rinsing out the well and the nozzle and it will start again. Great idea as a replacement for flossing, Philips just needs to warn the consumer regarding "use WATER only."
I really liked the product as a whole. The design is ergonometric and easy to keep clean. The reservoir could be larger, but this is really minor. The major problem is it completely stopped working within 7 months of service.
I loved this product for the five months it worked. Used it daily without fail and felt like it was better than my expectations. However, it has now stopped working. In addition, I have had to replace the nozzles twice as they cracked and sprung leaks. I am so disappointed that something that I spent quite a bit of money on only worked for a short period of time. I am waiting to see if Phillips will stand behind their product or not and that will determine if I ever buy another product from them again or not. Proceed with caution when purchasing this product!
Pros: teeth feel great
Cons: nozzles sprung leaks, product quit working
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great product when it works. Unfortunately, not much use if it doesn't hold a charge. This is my second in just over 12 months. Will try another brand.

I would recommend it because it is a great way to to clean between teeth BUT the unit fails within days, spent more time replacing 4 units than getting use out of it and just could not call the company back to replace another, each one would not work won't hold a charge when it's charging for days, then when you do get a serge of water out of it it dies in one shot, was to fed up replacing the units just threw them away.. I know you are a good company Phillps you need to work on this great idea with a real workable unit
Pros: good idea
Cons: each unit fails
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
