 Nice flosser for bracesDec 27, 2006
By Modern Blue Argonaut
I have found this flosser to be a convenient alternative to traditional dental floss, however, I do still prefer the cleaning power of traditional waxed dental floss. For people with braces this is such a nice tool to easily get between the teeth as long as your teeth aren't too cramped. My son uses this and it does a good job, and although I've tried it, it's not something I will be purchasing for myself. For it's cheap price, however, I would recommend giving it a try. Each of the disposable flossing heads can be used at least a couple of times if desired. My only complaint is that you cannot choose the color and unfortunately my teenage son received a girl color: purple! **Update** My sons dentist said that this flosser was irritating his gums. He does change his flossing tip daily so I can only assume it's the vibrating motion that his gums don't like. We have since switched to regular waxed floss, a good quality brand called Glide, and his gums feel better.

 Better than nothing!Jul 16, 2007
By C. S. Patterson
"~*"
I am not a flosser...I don't do it nearly as much as dentists recommend. This gadget will give you more incentive to attempt daily flossing. Even if you don't floss everyday, you'll find you're tempted to do it more often with this device than with that dreadful string.
Pros- Infrequent flossers may floss more. It's easier to maneuver than string floss. It's a Godsend to people with braces or other dental work.
Cons- It is difficult, sometimes impossible, to get in between tightly spaced teeth...I can barely slide the thick tips down the sides of my front teeth. It is costly to keep replacing the tips.
While it does not reach the many plaque prone areas between teeth that normal floss does, something is better than nothing. String flossers, stick with your string...flossing slackers, give this device a try.

 Waste of Money!Dec 30, 2007
By J. Kephart
I was very disappointed in this item. The flosser tips must be meant for people huge gaps in their teeth, because they dont come near to being able to floss my teeth or have ANY effect on my gums at all. Im stuck with a useless battery powered flosser now since I cant return it. I plan to contact the company.

Very ineffective productAug 07, 2009
By Sonechka

I bought one of these when I could no longer find the Oral B Hummingbird in stores. (I've since found the latter on-line at Amazon, hurray!) The plastic tips are limp to begin with and soon curl after the briefest use. They do not effectively remove particles. I've been using my last remaining Hummingbird for a check after doing my best with the Waterpik flosser and it consistently removes particles missed by the Waterpik. Moreover the set of plastic tips provided runs out long before the battery does. I am throwing it in the trash now that I have found that I can order the Oral B Hummingbird.

Water Pik Flosser Replacement TipsJul 22, 2008
By Mac the Critic
"Mac the critic"
I've used the Water Pik Flosser for many years. My recent purchase of replacement tips has been less than satisfactory. They have changed, have become flimsy and one does not last through one flossing! I am not happy with these at all.
