Product Description

The Waterpik Water Flosser provides a unique combination of water pressure and pulsations to clean deep between teeth and below the gumline, removing harmful bacteria and debris that traditional brushing and flossing can’t reach. It is the first product in its class accepted by the American Dental Association (ADA).

Rechargeable, portable, and with an extra quiet design, it’s perfect for use in smaller bathrooms or for travel. The Cordless Advanced includes 3 pressure settings allowing you to personalize your water pressure intensity. The Cordless Advanced has a 4 hour rapid charge and an easy-to-fill reservoir. Waterpik Water Flossers are clinically proven to be more effective than traditional dental floss and it’s perfect for anyone with braces or implants, and those with crowns, bridges, and veneers.
Product Reviews

If you buy this unit you MUST disconnect the inductance charger from the flosser after charge is complete (nominally 3-4 hours per the manual). I didn’t and the battery failed.My bad apparently. It was initially used (to test it out) and then left on charge until my next trip. After 3 weeks, it was dead as the proverbial doornail.The outstanding folks at Waterpik Customer Service informed me that you have to disconnect the charger or the battery WILL fail! I’m guessing that type of charger can’t detect when the battery is fully charged to turn itself off. It is not specified in the manual (and it should be in bold print!).. I discovered the issue 1 day after the 30 day return period to Amazon. Amazon Customer Service said call the manufacturer and gave me the number.I wish all customer service was like this when there are product issues. They transshipped a replacement product and are sending me a mailing label (on their dime) to return the non-functioning unit. No hassle, no fuss. I’ve used corded Waterpiks for years but got tired of packing it with my toothbrush when I travel. I always run the corded unit on max setting (about 100psi per customer service) and portable unit runs anywhere from 45-75 psi. There’s a noticeable difference, but it gets the job done when you’re on the road. I’m glad I didn’t return the unit to Amazon.Only gave four stars since the unit charger will not automatically turn itself off. Now I just have to remember to turn it off after 4 hours (probably some slack there) and ensure it’s charged before I travel. However, estimated time to fully charge is only 3-4 hours and if used daily, maybe charge it once a week. I can live with that.
Works nearly as well as traditional floss. Battery failed after 3 months, but customer service was great
ORIGINAL REVIEW (five stars)I’m new to water flossing, but traditional (string) flossing has become more problematic for me, so I wanted to check this out. Turns out it works as well as traditional (string) floss. My initial web searches had all pulled up “research” that sounded more like ads for water flossers, but I finally found some NIH articles showing that it does, in fact, work better than string flossing (search for the phrase: NIH water string flossing). So I got this unit myself and was surprised to find first-hand that it works as well and perhaps better than traditional floss–my mouth felt cleaner than it usually does after flossing, and when I followed up with string flossing (to see if it would get anything the water flosser hadn’t), all was clear.PROS* Works better than traditional string floss - leaves your teeth cleaner* Has different strength settings so you can adjust* Comes with multiple tips. Most of the ones with brushes say they’ll need replacing after 3-6 months, but the one that’s just a clear plastic tube seems like it will last longer* Battery charger is magnetic - you set the unit down on the counter, plug in the charger, and then magnetically attach the charger to the front of the unit (I tried attaching it backwards or too high / too low, and it just realigns itself to be correct, so it’s super easy)CONS* It’s quite big - maybe 10 inches tall and 4 inches at the base (while string floss is teeny tiny), though fortunately it’s easy to hold and not heavy* Has a learning curve (probably less of one than string floss, but most of us already know how to string floss)… nothing bad, but it takes a while for it to become a habit to not turn it on outside your mouth (which just shoots water across the room, as you’d expect, and is easy enough to clean up)NEUTRAL* You may have to fill the water reservoir at the bottom a few times during flossing… but this is easy to do, and I’m glad they didn’t just make the unit even bigger than it already is* The instructions say you can use the unit in the shower, which would be nice to keep down the mess while you’re getting through the learning curve, but I don’t like the logistics of refilling the empty reservoir while showering***************UPDATE: three months later, the battery is failing even though I leave this plugged in all the time (except when using it). The battery can no longer make it through a single flossing so I have to switch back to manual floss partway through. In doing so, I found that even though most of the time my mouth feels cleaner with water floss (vs. traditional string floss), there were a few pockets where normal flossing again made my gums bleed (a sign that the water floss wasn’t getting in there well enough). So I’d suggest that you continue to string-floss on occasion for those benefits. Lowering rating to just 3 stars out of 5 because there’s no excuse for a battery failing to hold a charge after just 3 months; otherwise I’d probably do 4 stars.***************UPDATE 2: After another 3 months of flossing 1⁄2 my mouth with water (until the battery would die) and then switching to string floss, I finally got around to calling customer service. I wish I had done it sooner! Within 15 minutes they had a new unit on its way to me. I did have to read them my serial number to confirm the purchase, and I mailed the old one back (so they can test and see how/why/where it failed). But I’ve now had the new one for 6 months and the battery is still as good as ever. I still string floss 1-3 times/month so I’ll notice if I again start missing anywhere with the water floss. But the water flosser really does a great job and makes my teeth feel fantastic whenever I use it.
Not for everyday use
I have switched from floss to using a waterpik daily. For that purpose at home, I use the standard, corded version which has good power and is, in general, easier to use. I bought this model for travel and that is the only time I will be using it. The water stream has far less power and therefore does not provide the same gum massage or between-teeth-cleaning benefit as the corded model. I do like the results, vs floss, from regular use of the corded model and will keep this unit only for trips.
Great product
Just love this thing. My tooth has never felt better.

Does not hold enough water.

Power button not working brought last year
Not worth the hassle unless you travel a lot and have no other option
This is great if you are in a bind BUT it is quite possibly the worst designed item ever.1) You cannot fill the reservoir unless it is connected to the unit (just like…

gets rid of the tartar and keeps teeth clean !! if you’re thinking about , then buy one now - you’ll love it . one of the best advice if ever taken
I would not recommend to buy it
Fluid reservoir is not big enough to floss your entire mouth. The machine itself is awkward to hold let alone maneuver to reach all gum areas.
Five Stars
Works great so far. It helps clean where the floss might of missed
Love the portability!!
This is my first time using a Waterpik Flosser it is powerful, I filled the water reservoir and set the speed to low.
