The 8 Best Electric Water Flosser Reviews (Waterpik, Mospro & More)

If you don’t travel often, or you’re willing to tolerate string floss when you do, you may be willing to sacrifice a little bit of counter space (about 4 by 5 inches, or 10 by 12 cm). Corded flossers have a number of advantages, starting with the fact that they allow you to use a much smaller, lighter, and more ergonomic handle.

They also offer a much wider range of pressure settings (ten, in this case) and have a larger reservoir for storing water, allowing you to finish your dental routine on one tank even if you’re not some kind of flossing ninja.

It also does away with the need to remember to charge it from time to time, which is probably the last thing on your mind when you’re getting ready for work in the morning.

As far as water flossers go, this Waterpik product is about as straightforward as it gets. Running off batteries instead of a charger, and with only one control, this is one product for which you won’t regret throwing out the manual.

Despite this, it remains a credible option for people who don’t have any particular requirements. It’s waterproof, allows you to select a jet of either low or high pressure, and holds enough water to give you half a minute of flossing time at the latter setting.

With two general-purpose tips included, it’s also possible for a couple to share the same device. It’s somewhat noisy but not deafening, and, significantly, it is made by the company that more or less pioneered the idea of flossing with water.

Most people, given the choice, will buy from a well-established manufacturer with a reputation for quality products and an extensive customer support network. If you’re willing to look around, however, you can often find real bargains that perform as well or better than brand-name options.

Like the Waterpik Aquarius, this iTeknic comes with seven interchangeable tips, of which three are normal water picks. This allows several different people to share the same machine.

Instead of a toothbrush attachment, however, iTeknic has opted to go with a tongue washer, which is arguably a better choice especially for anyone who’s concerned about bad breath.

This Atmoko product looks somewhat frightening in that it will remind you of the equipment found in dentists’ offices. Not to worry, though: with its impressive array of accessories, you’ll most likely be spending much less time in that dreaded chair.

In contrast with the Waterpik SF-02, Atmoko’s design concept separates the electric toothbrush from the water flosser, yet combines them in one easy-to-use appliance. Up to three people can share it using different tips and toothbrush heads, while special attachments are included for tongue cleaning and less common dentition like crowns and periodontal pockets.

Also unlike the SF-02, the included sonic toothbrush is full-functioned and allows you to select different operating modes – for example, to accommodate sensitive gums or choose a more intensive action to produce a brilliant smile.

In their advertising, Waterpik claims to be the only brand approved by the American Dental Association – this is not quite true, but the only other product that currently holds that distinction has been excluded from this list due to some concerns about its quality and reliability.

With a pressure range of only 45 to 75 PSI, many people will find this product too feeble to get the job done, while individuals with very sensitive gums will find its lowest setting to be too harsh.

Despite this limitation, it remains an attractive option for those who have particular dental care needs and are looking for a water flosser they can take on trips. People with bridges, crowns, or periodontal issues would do well to consider the Waterpik Cordless Advanced.

At about half the price, this flosser has much in common with the Waterpik Cordless Advanced and even offers more in some ways. Its water reservoir is a little larger, its battery lasts a little longer, and it’s capable of producing a water spray at both higher and lower intensities.

Both power flossers need to be charged for about 4 hours, after which you should get about a week’s use out of them, and both have three different pressure settings.

The Mospro, however, uses a USB charger. This implies that you can charge it from a power bank or laptop when camping or abroad – its battery capacity of 1400 mAh makes this quite feasible.

You will, perhaps, have noticed that the Waterpik Aquarius includes a toothbrush head. Unfortunately, that’s nothing more than an ordinary toothbrush that happens to squirt out a small jet of high-pressure water. As anyone who’s ever used one will tell you, a toothbrush that vibrates by itself, especially in multiple directions, works much better and leaves your teeth feeling much cleaner.

This product from the same manufacturer, as well as the Atmoko, actually combines the effectiveness of a sonic electric toothbrush with water flossing for the ultimate in dental health convenience. You may switch between brushing and flossing mode, or activate both at the same time. Most people will prefer to brush normally, with toothpaste, first and then switch to either the flossing or dual-mode setting.

Handheld water flossers usually have only two or three intensity settings, whereas countertop models like the iTeknic typically boast around ten. Very often, users of portable models find that these just don’t provide them with exactly the water pressure they need. Strong enough to clean the gum line and the gaps between teeth, yet not so intense as to cause pain.

If this describes your previous experiences with water flossing and you need something you can take with you when traveling, the Akunbem might be what you need.
