Battery life We fully charge each water flosser and run it on its highest setting until the battery drains. We time how long it takes for the battery to drain.

Using a water flosser can be a messy business, particularly if you’ve never used one before. Having easy-to-find and intuitive controls can help you avoid a nasty squirt in the face or across the bathroom mirror. How to use a water flosser The Waterpik Complete Care 9.0 and 9.5 feature a separate water flosser and sonic toothbrush in a neat countertop unit. The difference between the two is that the 9.0 has a classically shaped toothbrush head (like a Philips Sonicare) and the 9.5 has a round oscillating head (like an Oral-B electric toothbrush). Both are available in white only. Philips has also done a great job with the practical aspects of the design. The Power Flosser 3000 charges over a standard USB-Type C port, and Philips bundles in a cable, compact charger and soft drawstring case. The main power button is big enough to find with ease when you’re rushing in the morning, and the mode and intensity buttons have simple indicators, so that you know what mode and setting you are in. The nozzle also rotates 360-degrees for easy aiming at the hard-to-reach areas of your mouth. This is one of the more expensive options, but if you have problem teeth and gums then it’s worth every penny.

Key specs – Pressure: Not stated; Tank capacity: 250ml; Modes: 2; Tips provided: 2; Battery: Li-ion; Battery life: 14mins; Charger: USB Type-C, cable and charger provided; Dimensions: 60 x 75 x 280mm I have used the two plug in Waterpiks and in many ways this is a leap forward. It is portable but still quite large, it doesn't need to be plugged in and best of all it eliminates the hose connecting the reservoir to the device delivering the water to your teeth. In all my previous Waterpiks the hose after a few months use has split leaving the device useless . It does not deliver pressure as high as the maximum on the devices that use mains power.” There are a wide range of Waterpik cordless dental water flossers available and many of them require an occasional spare part to keep them running, especially parts such as replacement tips, the battery and the motor.

The key thing, as with the cheaper model, is that the Cordless Advanced does a brilliant job of cleaning while covering a range of different needs. At its lowest intensity setting, you get a gentle clean that’s good for new users or more sensitive gums, while there’s enough welly at the top setting to clean deep between your teeth and all around the gum line. You get four different tips included: Classic, Orthodontic, Plaque Seeker and Tongue Cleaner. The tips rotate 360 degrees to make it easier to reach every part of your mouth. Parts for Waterpik flossers are generally interchangeable between flossers that share the first 2 digits after the WP- in their part number. The third digit usually only indicates the colour. So, for example, within the WP-460 series your flosser might be a WP-462 but it will use the same parts as the WP-463, WP-464 and so on. Bear this in mind when looking for spare parts for your flosser.
