got sell those attached to the tap, don't have to use electricity.

just use the tap pressure to pump out the water.

not sure good enough or not

cheaper, no need to charge battery or top up the flosser container so can floss as long as i like.

easier to control the pressure using yr tap. it has a control on the flosser itself but i just set it to max so will just control the pressure direct from tap head. 1 hand on tap head, the other on flosser to direct it where to go. comes with 2 different type of head...1 for narrower sharper stream, the other for slightly wider.

I love the phlips one. But after going thru 3 of them in 5 years. I gave up and went for those $50 China ones. Phillips ones are like $150 each.

The good thing about Phillips one is that it is a trigger pulse. So can put proper between the gums then hit. And the pressure is power. Jet out the debris.
But they all die just after warranty...

As for the China ones from the usual shops. They typically is a always pulsing mode.... So got to time the placement and hold. Kinda messy and water will get a bit over the place.

Many will not string floss. This is a great alternative. Not a true replacement though. But it helps a lot.

thanks for the review. i had known it for a while, and posted a few times over here, but you are the 1st one reviewing it.

sounds like a great product for that price!

Been using since 2018. Not good and poor at using floss. Hence, chose this option. My recommendation would be to go for the zenyum model, sometimes sales price brings it down to $99.90. Not keen on the travel models, because of the foldable tank, you will learn to hate it eventually too.

Water floss can’t clean the particles between the teeth, traditional string floss can.
