An excellent addition to a dental regime
This unit provides a cleansing, irrigating and massaging action that is much more thorough than simply swilling around using a beaker of water. It has three modes - 'jet' is a direct stream of water, and 'air' provides a pulsating massage action (soft or normal) which helps with cleaning and also massages and stimulates the gums. It holds about 130ml of water and 'jet' mode will see you refilling it two or three times. I keep mine set to 'normal' (air) mode.I had no problems at all getting to grips (literally) with the unit although it's a bit cumbersome. Best used over a wash basin. Simply purse your lips around the probe like using a drinking straw, then turn on. Move the probe gently around the mouth aiming at the gums and gumline, releasing water into the basin occasionally. It is not messy or difficult and you'll quickly get the hang of it.Use warm/ hot water direct from the tap to avoid cold shocks. This is more than adequate for a good rinse and I suspect mouthwashes etc might gum up the works eventually with sticky residues and you would need a gallon a month anyway. The probes rotate for easy access and are easy to swap. Two are supplied, colour coded. The unit is very well made and water-resistant with plenty of O-ring seals evident. The charger base uses a standard two-pin electric shaver-type plug that can recharge from a bathroom shaver outlet, or buy a common 13A shaver adaptor.The tank is removable but is quite stiff to slide out (those O-rings again). I recommend sometimes leaving it overnight with the filler open, to allow it to dry out, and/or remove the tank occasionally. I don't anticipate any problem with mould etc. but an occasional rinse through with mouthwash or maybe Miltons might help. It absolutely provides a thorough cleansing action and will also greatly help those who struggle with bridges or braces, but don't bash the probe around. It cannot directly replace a thorough flossing though,but helps maintain oral hygiene.The device contains two specialist Panasonic 1.2V Ni-MH batteries that can be replaced with care (search online for parts, eg espares). Instructions for disassembly are provided. They will probably be needed after several years of use or so. I can't really think of any drawbacks and it's so good a friend then bought one too. It has quickly become a key part of my regular dental routine.

Green light no go
Red charging light remains red even when fully charged so how are you supposed to know when it’s needs recharging! How does that make sense. Could do with a larger water tank! Only used it three times so far so am getting used to it so are the bathroom walls. Be careful using first time….. wear a waterproof coat, hat and waterproof mascara. I made a real mess of the bathroom, user problem, not product! Seems to remove food particles. So far happy, may write another review after longer usage. Taken one star away because there isn’t a fully charged light indicator!

Brilliant :-)
I tried this out yesterday and I'm very excited :-)I was told recently I needed to see a gum specialist because my gums are so bad that I will experience some tooth loss soon, my teeth are good but my gums are terrible apparently.I realise there is a chance that all dentist say this as it was a new dentist, but non the less it scared me into action and one of these babies seemed like a good idea, as some googling has made me suspect I have periodontal disease.I have to wait several months to see the specialist, so I thought id do everything I could in the mean time, so I'm been flossing with interdental brushes daily and cleaning with and electric toothbrush for the full two minutes at least morning and night and now this has been added to my new routine.I have to admit I was expecting it to be a ball ache, as although the review were good, people seem anoyed by its ease of use and how often you have to fill it up, but after a couple of goes and a small amount of spraying water all over the bathroom before I realised it was best to put it in your mouth before turning it on...I got the hang of it pretty quick..You turn it on and then it has three modes to select from, which takes a minute to get used to as the water does run out quite quick, it took a bit of time to get used to what noise/feeling mean which mode, but after a few minutes id got the hang of it..According to the instructions, the jet mode is for flossing between teeth, and the air in mode normal is for flushing the gum pockets for my suspected periodontal disease, as the jet it too strong, and then the air in soft mode is for massaging the gums from problem areas.This was all reassuring to me as no where online did it specifically say it was for periodontal pockets, although I did confuse myself researching all the different models etc..All in all I'm very pleased with it, the water strength is perfect, strong enough to feel clean and clean between teeth and gums but not painful...the water does need filling up frequently, but as you have to be over the sink anyway it only takes a second to fil it up and the door to the tank is easily opened and closed as its just like a rubber stopper, so if the tap has been running a little bit warm its easy peasy to keep filling up....Plus id rather it was small to make manoeuvring easier...I was playing with it for about 15 minutes last night to get the hang of it, and filled it up loads of times, but i did it as part of my morning schedule this morning and you only really need to fill it up maybe 3 or 4 times at a guess to floss the teeth and do the periodontal pockets and your done.I was very happy with this, as I suspected incorporating it into my daily routine would be a ball ache but its been easy peasy, long may it continue :-)

brilliant but frustrating
It's brilliant ... until it isn't.To be clear, it does a great job in helping keep your teeth and gums clean and healthy.Unfortunately, mine was unreliable, with a faulty power switch. Sometimes it would switch on straight away, sometimes after 2 or 3 (or more) attempts, sometimes not at all. Sometimes it would switch on in the middle of the night when we're all asleep (until the noise woke us up).So, brilliant but frustrating. And now, just over 1 year old, apparently completely dead.
