Pros
Features six pressure settings
Comes with a two-year warranty
Cons
The on/off switch is stiff and awkwardly placed
With modern water flossers, it’s less about cleaning capabilities (most of them are quite powerful) and more about each person’s unique needs, says Dr. Stanley.
“For example, a lot of patients want to buy water flossers for their whole family, but they don’t want to buy an individual flosser for each member, which is why this countertop oral irrigator is a great option,” she notes. It has 12 multifunctional tips and six pressure settings, holding 800 mL of water. Plus, reviewers love how quiet it is.
