Good review! I have the same product and with mine it says in the manual it takes 8 hours to fully charge it. I think an important recommendation is to use water at room temperature, using ice cold water (as we get in our country when leaving the tap running for a bit) can make it a painful experience. I fill it up after every use so the water is at the right temperature at next usage. I've not used it for very long but so far I'm happy with my purchase, it does indeed make quite a difference, and it feels good to do something good for your teeth.
I have a non-portable one (Panasonic) and honestly it's amazing. I remember the first time I brushed my teeth as usual and then used the jet washer and was shocked by how much "stuff" there actually was in between my teeth and maybe a bit inside my gums that my brushing didn't remove. It's all the leftover food that gets stuck and either becomes infected or turns into plaque, which then obviously causes problems so using one of these is a gamechanger. Also I've been using mine with diluted mouth wash (just to save on the cost of mouthwash more than anything) and haven't had any mechanical issues.
Hi Erin. Thanks for a great review. Some of the details you provided were not mentioned in any other literature! You mention the Sonicare is bulky- can you provide some specifics? What is the diameter? What is its weight without water? I'm comparing to waterpik. Thanks.
Very good review. Couldn’t make up my mind between the one you have reviewed or water pik advanced. I may go for the water pik due to high price of replacement nozzles in the Philips.
Obviously you have probably made up your mind already 7 months later but the replacement heads are 2 for about $15 on Amazon... So assuming you replace them like she said every 6 months that is only $15 per year
It basically looks like a travel water pik. I have a regular water pik I use at home daily and have had good dental check ups. I recommend water flossing, I hate regular flossing.
The more consistent you floss or water pik, the less infection/gingivitis will make your gums hurt. Your gums hurt from not cleaning between your teeth and under the gum. Like wiping yet not going between the cheeks 😜
Great question. It turns on with a push and will run until you turn it off. To me, the button does not seem very fiddly or difficult to press, if that helps.
Not as often as I should… Mainly because I get to try all kinds of different beauty, gadgets, and devices. But I do like it. Reminds me, I should pop it back into my beauty routine again.
Do you ever get buildup around the top of the handle? Where the floss tip is inserted? I have buildup around the top inside the plastic creases and I’m having a hard time getting it out. Any thoughts?
Thanks for the review!
Just got one , just messy . I’ll try using with a closed mouth like you suggested.

Yes, my dentist told me to put mouthwash in it. I would assume that would keep the device cleaner and kill bacteria.
I will buy one for my family to try. I hope the product is of high quality.

They are a game changer!
Thank you for you sharing experience.
I couldn’t seperate the body part to clean. Do you have any video to show a tip?
Thanks.
It should just twist

LOL. Erin I’m with you on flossing just before going to the dentist or if I’ve been eating popcorn.
Thanks for the review Erin.

I think I’m becoming a convert!

How do you clean the nozzles?
You can run vinegar-water through the machine and the nozzles or use hot soapy water.
What did your Dentist have to say? Did they comment that your teeth / gums had less plaque compared to usual?
I haven’t been since I started with this, but I will be sure to ask.
I have finger dexterity trouble. Do you have to hold the button down continually while using the flosser?
Great question. It turns on with a push and will run until you turn it off. To me, the button does not seem very fiddly or difficult to press, if that helps.
@@ErinLawrenceTV Thank you.
Are you still using the BEAR Mini Smart Microcurrent Facial Toning Device?

I'm looking for a disassembly guide, mine stopped working
Great quality review!

I have not. But a little scrubby 🧽 sponge should help.
I thought it was a screwdriver at first 😂
Hahaha
I need it.... send it to Brazil...
tips are $9-$10 Cdn
Thanks!
Thank you so very much for the superThanks! Your support means the world to me.😍😍😍😃😃😃
I adore flossing but this does look interesting.
