\n How we tested <\/h2>\n \n <\/div>\n \n\n\n

We specialise in reviewing dental health products and we\u2019ve been consistently testing them since Electric Teeth launched over 10 years ago<\/strong>. We publish detailed written and video reviews to share our findings and opinions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a new water flosser is released, we buy it, test it and compare it to what\u2019s already available. We then update our reviews<\/a> and recommendations accordingly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comfort is an important factor when it comes to sticking to a regular flossing habit. Over the years we've learned what does and doesn't make for a comfortable flossing experience. We've also found that some features are more useful than others for getting the most out of a water flosser \u2014 see the buyer's guide<\/a> below for more notes from our testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can find out more about our testing process here<\/a>. Not only do we test products ourselves, but we take on feedback from our community. We have open comment sections and a popular YouTube channel that provide us with invaluable feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to look for in a water flosser<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In this post we offer recommendations for both corded (countertop) and cordless water flossers. If you have space (approx 6 x 6 inches) for one in your bathroom, we recommend going for countertop over cordless \u2014 we explain this in more detail in this section of our buyer's guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both types of flosser come with similar features, not all of which are necessary. From our hands-on testing, the most essential features of a water flosser are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n \n
\n\n \n
\n 45 seconds or more flossing time:<\/b> enough time to get a thorough clean without having to refill <\/div>\n\n \n
\n 2 or more pressure modes:\u00a0<\/b>important if you have any sensitivity <\/div>\n\n \n
\n Rotating nozzle (or handle if it's a countertop flosser): <\/b>to help you reach all parts of the mouth <\/div>\n\n \n
\n Comfortable grip (for a cordless): <\/b>a large area for the palm and fingers to grip onto is better than a slim handle. It\u2019s also helpful if the grip is made from materials that prevent slippage <\/div>\n\n \n
\n Water control button on the handle (countertop): <\/b>this makes it easy to stop, start and pause the jet of water <\/div>\n\n \n
\n Hose storage (countertop): <\/b>this helps to keep the bathroom tidy <\/div>\n\n \n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

Why it's the best countertop flosser:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Waterpik Ultra Professional (also known as the Aquarius) has all of the essential features I look for in a water flosser. It strikes a good balance between reservoir capacity, flossing time, unit size and price. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compared to other flossers, I've found the sliding control switch on the handle makes it much easier to control the water flow and I can rotate the nozzle with a simple flick of my index finger, which is useful when trying to angle it so the water flow hits the right spot in my mouth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More info, pros & cons<\/summary>\n

It doesn\u2019t feel as dominant on the countertop as I\u2019d imagined, although it\u2019s a bit frustrating that I can\u2019t push it right up tight to the wall as the power cable protrudes. This is by no means a deal breaker, but when space is tight it makes a difference. I've included some photos throughout this post to show the space water flossers take up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During testing, the decently sized 650ml water tank on the Ultra Profesional gave me anywhere between 90 seconds and over 4 minutes of flossing time subject to which of the 10 pressure settings I choose. It meant I could get a couple of flossing sessions from a single fill of the tank. The included timer and pacer help with this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Something I enjoy about countertop flossers compared to cordless is that the smaller handles give a feeling of greater control and dexterity. In-hand comfort is really quite important for something like this \u2014 the more adept you are at using a flosser, the more likely you will return to it every day. The textured grip on the rotating nozzle of the Ultra Professional made it the most comfortable flosser I have used. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why it's the best cordless: <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I've included a section below on when to choose corded vs cordless<\/a>, but in a nutshell a cordless flosser takes up less space, it's a bit more portable and it can be quieter. The downsides are that you get less flossing time because of a smaller reservoir. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like how grippy and comfortable the Ordo Hydro Sonic is to hold. It doesn\u2019t feel as heavy or bulky as I\u2019d expected given its water tank is so large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 260ml tank and 3 pressure settings gave me anywhere between 50-60 seconds of usage time, which is sufficient as I\u2019ve mastered my technique. If it's your first time owning a water flosser, you may need to refill to get the clean you desire. I can\u2019t fault the cleaning results, which are comparable to those of leading brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did find the nozzle very stiff to rotate, which is a problem I\u2019ve encountered with a lot of cordless water flossers. This isn\u2019t a problem for me as I\u2019m now used to rotating my hand rather than the nozzle to get the coverage of the mouth that I want. It\u2019s not a deal breaker by any means, but it\u2019s something to be aware of when you first start using the flosser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More info, pros & cons<\/summary>\n

I like the on-demand button. It makes it incredibly easy to start and stop the water flow, which gives greater control and creates a little less mess than other flossers I\u2019ve tested. The highest pressure setting is very powerful and I can see how it could be too intense for sensitive teeth and gums. Those with periodontal disease are best off considering a flosser with lower power settings, such as the Cordless Advanced (our runner up choice<\/a>) from Waterpik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a shame no travel case is provided, but the ability to stow 2 nozzles inside the flosser is brilliant as is the travel lock button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found the Hydro Sonic easy to wipe clean and dry off after use. It is exceptionally good value and, all things considered, caters to most users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why it's a good choice: <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Cordless Advanced is the most comfortable cordless flosser I have tested. I do prefer the smaller and more nimble handles of a countertop flosser, such as the Ultra Professional, but the shape and the large area of raised dots on the back of the Cordless Advanced make it lovely to hold. I felt in control, even when I wanted to rotate the nozzle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found the nozzle easy to rotate, helping me to reach all my teeth and clean the entire mouth. In fact, I found rotating the nozzle on the Cordless Advanced was easier than on the Ultra Professional, and the Ordo Hydrosonic.  The large wheel used for rotation felt natural to use and provided good feedback. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given this, you may wonder why I've recommended the Ordo Hydro Sonic as the best choice rather than the Cordless Advanced. The main reason is price. The Ordo is half the price of the Cordless Advanced and does just as good a job. Yes, it has a slightly better user experience, but for such a difference in price it deserves top spot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More info, pros & cons<\/summary>\n

Whilst one of the benefits of a cordless flosser is that they are more portable, most, including the Cordless Advanced, are still quite bulky to carry about. I don\u2019t travel with my water flosser that often, but if I was a frequent traveller I would opt for Waterpik\u2019s Cordless Slide, which I talk about in more detail below. It is a much better option as it collapses down to something similar in size to a smartphone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ordo Hydro Sonic, even though it is still bulky, is more travel-friendly than the Cordless Advanced because it is recharged using a USB-C cable. This is the same cable used to charge most smartphones. The Cordless Advanced uses a bulky, proprietary cable. It's not a big deal unless you are travelling for a long period with limited luggage space because both flossers offer about 4 weeks from a single charge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 207ml tank of the Cordless Advanced offers 45 seconds of use on the most powerful of the 3 pressure modes. This is about half the time of the Waterpik Ultra Professional. You don\u2019t have to rush with either, but it is a compromise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you aren't planning to travel with your flosser much and you're keen on cordless rather than corded, the Waterpik Cordless Advanced is the best you can go for in terms of comfort and features. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why it's the best for travel:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you want a travel-friendly water flosser, the Waterpik Cordless Slide is my recommendation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found that it wasn't quite as easy to use as other water flossers, but it\u2019s a worthwhile compromise if you\u2019re looking for a compact option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Slide collapses down to a size that is 50% smaller than its expanded footprint. That\u2019s a similar size (albeit a bit thicker) than a typical smartphone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could be forgiven for thinking that this would come with a compromise in performance, but honestly, it doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More info, pros and cons<\/summary>\n

The 177ml tank is smaller offering around 38-46 seconds of usage time subject to the chosen pressure setting. For proficient users, this might just be enough flossing time. For many it will mean refilling the tank to achieve a thorough clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By comparison, the Cordless Advanced gives 45 to 65 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Slide pulls apart, allowing easy drying and cleaning of the water tank, a common complaint of other flossers with fixed reservoirs.  Another small, but clever touch is the top hinged reservoir door. It allows the maximum amount of excess water to be drained out of the tank without taking the flosser apart. Both of these are useful features if you need to put the Slide in a bag soon after using it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why we chose it: <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Bitvae C5 has all the features I recommend of a cordless water flosser and comes with enough nozzles for several years of use, all for a very fair price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bitvae flossers don't have the clinical backing of the likes of Waterpik or Philips Sonicare, but I can confirm from my own testing that performance is comparable. I'd struggle to tell the difference if I were blindfolded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did find that the nozzle wasn't as easy to hold and rotate with one hand compared to the Waterpik Cordless Advanced, but I wouldn't regard that as a big enough inconvenience to be a deal-breaker, especially if I was shopping on a budget. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The overall feel isn't quite as premium as other irrigators, but it's not a stark difference<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More info, pros and cons<\/summary>\n

It's a shame Bitvae opted for a USB to barrel pin style charging cable, unlike the much more convenient and easily replaced USB type-c cable used by the Sonicare Cordless Power Flosser 3000<\/a>. However, it is less bulky than the USB charging cable of the Cordless Advanced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lack of a travel case is a shame, but not a reason to overlook the C2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although I've had no failures during my testing, an overriding concern is the durability and reliability of Bitvae products. As a newer brand they don't have the proven track record like big name competitors and supplying only a 1 year warranty doesn't help their case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oclean W10<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Oclean W10 is the only water flosser to have a strap to help you grip the device. It works better than I had anticipated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cleaning results are good and it's a decent water flosser all things considered, but not quite good enough for me to recommend as a must-buy. Find out more in my Oclean W10 video review<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n
