H2ofloss® Dental Water Flosser for Teeth Cleaning with 13 Multifunctional Tips&800ml Capacity, Professional Countertop Oral Irrigator Quiet Design(HF-9)

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.

Over the years I've had many water pics and have never had one this good before. I'm ordering another one for my second home so I won't have to pack it. Its quiet and powerful, and it works great. It holds enough water to do a wonderful job. It has lots of extra accessories and the price is very reasonable. I love it and I know my dentist will be happy too.

I would have given this a 5 star except for the design. It takes about 3 motions to get to add water. It comes with an accessory attachment which has a top and a place to put almost all of the accessories. The water compartment has a lid, and the compartment does fit nicely into the space provided. The problems are with the lids. The lid to the accessory container will not close when you add the accessories. The design is such that you can lift the accessory container out of the device BEFORE you can open the top to the water compartment. The top to the water compartment is on a hinge so you have to fold it back in order to remove the water chamber to add water. You cannot open the lid with the accessory tray attached. So, the motion is, remove the accessory tray, fold back the lid to the water compartment, remove the water container, fill it then close the lid and attack an accessory piece to the handle. I think the hinge on the top of the water container will not last as it's hard plastic. I think if the designer had made a top that just fit snugly down on top of the water container you could have just kept the accessory tray attached and not had to remove it each time. I guess the answer is just leave the accessory container sitting on your counter. I like the tablet accessory, which is included, along with the tablets to whiten the teeth. Pleasant mint taste and time will tell if the tablets actually work. I have always had a "brand name" water jet, but this one was reasonable in price and the jet is perfectly fine.

It's about the two year mark and my H20Floss stopped working. I guess for around $30, I got my money's worth, however, it would've been nice if it had lasted longer. I will say that while it was working, it did fine.EDIT: I have realized my original unit most likely gave out because I added salt to the water reservoir. The abrasive salt I'm sure destroyed the seals in the unit. I actually read the directions this time and it clearly states to NOT add baking soda or salt to the unit or it will damage or ruin it. I ordered my second unit. I think this is a good product and that my original unit would still be going strong had I not added the salt.
