H2ofloss Countertop Water Flosser for Teeth, Oral Irrigator for Family Care

***UPDATE 7/9/17: About 10 days ago, I experienced a leak around the top of the handle where the tip inserts. I contacted the seller and they responded promptly via email. They asked me to verify if the handle itself was the problem or if it was merely the replaceable tip. They offered to warranty whatever was causing the issue. I checked further, determining that only the tip itself was faulty and they cheerfully sent out several brand new jet- tips within a couple of days. This is not only an excellent product but the customer service the seller provides is a perfect match! The machine itself still looks and functions like it is brand new. Feel 100% confident when purchasing this water flosser! This is my first water flossing machine, therefore I cannot compare it to the Waterpik or other big name brand machines. My H2ofloss arrived today sealed and intact. Setup was simple; I was flossing within a couple of minutes. The machine provides good pressure and it is easy to control. After my initial session my mouth felt great. The H2ofloss seems well made and I expect it to last - if it fails unexpectedly I will update this review. This machine seems to be an excellent value - provided that it lasts at least one to two years. I've read a couple of complaints about this system that I would like to address: "The reservoir leaks when removing it." Why not simply add slightly more than enough tepid water for each session with a cup, rather than removing the entire reservoir every fill - adding fresh water for subsequent sessions? "The machine is too noisy." I found the noise to be minimal - inconsequential. "I don't like the pressure switch on the handle." Having that notion in mind before I used the H2ofloss, I was concerned that the pressure slide switch would be too easily moved in use. As it turns out, the pressure slider requires deliberate effort to move and it won't slip to another setting accidentally in regular use. I find this position logical for the switch as one might wish to adjust on-the-fly as needed as opposed to stopping and readjusting a dial. Just my opinion. "The pressure is either almost zero or insanely high." I've found there to be several different pressures on this machine and the top level isn't overwhelming. In fact I start with low to get going and skip right to high once the water is flowing. People with sensitive gums may wish to start out with a lower setting however. Overall I am please with this purchase and I recommend this machine - especially for the price!

I saw that this showed a lot of returns for different reasons, but I have to say this unit works very good for me. It has great pressure and I like the fact that it has a magnet installed in the wand which makes it easy to hang back up neatly with the coiled tubing. Very happy with this so far.

I like the large water capacity. It is a bit noisy but I don’t mind that. Just started water flossing so have nothing to compare it to. The adjustment for water pressure on the handheld piece is a little awkward to change but not a deal breaker. I like the choices of attachments even though I have only used two. It comes with tablets you can insert into a separate handle for breath freshness but beware, they contain XYLITOL which is toxins for dogs.

Works better than a water pic. I don't know the life expectancy but so far it is good.

I have used Waterpik Flossers for more than 30 years and while they are important for my dental health, I've always been irritated by the fact that that don't last long because the hose is always breaking. They've also gotten more and more expensive. So when I saw a price of $34 with a coupon, I decided to give this one a try and I'm quite impressed. Of course the question of how long it lasts is still up in the air, but the fact that they've made several design improvements is a really good start. Instead of coming out of the side of the pik it comes out the bottom. That point of stress on the side is where my Waterpiks always broke! The magnetic holding design makes just using it much easier - really well thought out. This new machine is much much much quieter than the old Waterpik! And, it seems to do a better job of getting food out of my teeth. That's just a subjective judgement, but it seems like a lot more pieces of food are coming out. Finally, while I haven't used them, this comes with a couple different nasal flow tips for cleaning your sinuses which might be useful when you get a cold. Fortunately, I haven't had to use that yet. While I like the overall design, I would add a couple of suggestions for the company to consider in their next iteration. The on/off switch is awkward, because when you go to turn it off while it's running, you have to push it and tend to tip it over. A slide switch on the end like the old Waterpik is much easier and eliminates that problem. The design of putting the water holder into a slot works very well. But the top seems unnecessary and keeps it from drying out. I just removed mine - easy to do. Other than that - very well designed and a much more reasonable price.

It started out great - powerful but adjustable jet, relatively quiet. Within about a month the water hose started leaking at the base of the handpiece. This is the 2nd unit to do so in less than 6 months (I returned the 1st one). The only way to stop it is to raise the handpiece above the level of the water in the reservoir. If this isn't done it drains i less than a night. Otherwise, a good unit.

This is a great product! My dentist recommended for my swollen gums, and in a week they are looking normal, no bleeding and doing well. Thank you so much, great value for all you get with it. I recommend. A++++

Revised 5-31-17. Revised recommendation - Avoid this unit like the plague! In just over a month, two of the regular picks have experienced the same defect. The colored plastic piece cannot hold up to the stress of the water pressure. The first one lasted about 3 weeks before cracking and separating (see photos). The plastic fractures in a near perfect circle that follows the weakest part of the design. Once the fracturing has started, it doesn't take long before the tip separates from the base. During this time, water begins to shoot out sideways from just below the tip base. It makes it appear that the seal is bad, but close examination of the tip base will show the plastic fracturing (see photo with arrows). When my first tip cracked, I switched to one of the additional standard picks. It lasted 4 days before the same cracking started. At this rate, I would go through 15-30 standard picks a year! Considering I have used the same tip on a Water Pic unit for a couple of years, this performance is extremely unsatisfactory. I have not contacted the manufacturer yet, but will this week. I will update this post accordingly. ---------- original post --------- I have had my H2ofloss for about a week so far. I have had 2 water pik units in the past, and each of them suffered from the same loud vibration. If I were single, it wouldn't have been a big deal, but when it's so loud it wakes up your spouse, it is not a long term solution. It was the Quiet description that caught my attention, and I can say that this unit is very quiet, especially compared to my old waterpik. I am able to use it at 4am without fear of waking my spouse. It makes noise to be sure, but not much more than my electric toothbrush. It is not as well build as my old water pik was. The plastic seems thinner. However time will tell and after using it a week, I do not think it will be a factor. I have read reviews about tips cracking etc, To me, the basic tips appear as solid as Water-pics. It may be that some of the specialized tips with multiple plastic parts may fail under the pressure of the water being forced through them, but time will tell. I will update my review as time passes if I observe any of this. The unit is powerful. I am still on setting 2 - and it may be a while before I am able to increase power. I bought this as a way to help with sensitive gums that bleed with normal brushing. After a week of use, I can now brush without bleeding. My hope is that I can save the price of the unit many many times over in reduced dental expenses.. The reservoir hold 900ML of water. On 2, this lasts adequately long. My advise is start on a low setting until you know how you react to the pressure, then scale up accordingly. You may also want to add some mouthwash to the water to add some antiseptic properties. The assortment of tips is pretty amazing. For those of you who irrigate your sinuses, this unit allows for that too. I have not tried it yet, but I can see it being a boon during cold and flu season. I want to try the periodontal tip as soon as my gums acclimate to a higher setting. It looks like it will be great for cleaning out the area below the gum line. All in all, an amazing amount of utility packed into a decent looking unit.

Only works on US 120 V AC, doesnt work in UK, wrong plug and wrong voltage rating.

Purchased this after reading international reviews which said excellent product. The product reached me with US electrical version of 60hz 110v and with no adaptor. We get here (India) 50hz 240volts. Good I saw that and didn't turn it on. So I searched for an adaptor to convert both voltage and frequency - both online and in local market. Unfortunately I couldn't find a suitable adaptor. While voltage step down converter are easily available, the frequency converter is not and you can't run this machine properly at low frequency. So wasted lot of time and energy on this product. DoN'T BUY this. PS- after lot of telecalling and email exchanges (I even wrote to the manufacturer and they replied), our "Pados ki dukaan" Amazon took the hit, and refunded my money. Thanks Amazon, but you still haven't discontinued this product or updated it's description that it is not meant for use in India.

Used waterpic for years. Bought a new waterpic and found it far too noisy. Returned the waterpic and tried this flosser for quieter operation. Found this flosser to be quieter than my old and new waterpic. This flosser is quiet enough for me. Still have to hold the water feed line with one hand to minimize vibrate noise. Delivery to Canada from USA . This flosser uses a little more counter space than some other flossers but I like the 800ml water capacity. Would buy again.

Very poor only worked once and then stopped working have applied to send it back but it is international return and advised to drop of to a ups drop centre but when I click on the link to find a drop of point it comes up page not found so no idea how to return and no contact details for the seller
