Philips Sonicare Compact Flosser 1000, Portable Water Flosser with 3 Flossing Modes, Ipx7 Waterproof Oral Irrigator, Travel Friendly, Blue, Model HX3333/24

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited I was selected by the Stellar Product Testing Panel to try out the new Philips Sonicare Compact Flosser. Ironically I just had to get a bridge put on by my dentist and they recommended that I get a water flosser for ease of cleaning under my bridge and said it came with a lot of health benefits for your teeth. I also travel multiple times a month for my job so this being compact for travel was a huge bonus! PROS: Compact design - nest into each other for ease of traveling. I also liked that the nozzle could nest inside as well to save space. The color was also aesthetically pleasing as well. CONS: Now unfortunately for where this product fell short for me- The hose inside the water tank, by suction, kept getting pulled to the top of the tank so when I was using the flosser it was just blowing out air unless I kept it at an angle that was not helpful for flossing. The only way to get the water flosser good enough for one use was to unattach the water tank completely from the unit, move the hose straight down. put back together and then floss. However, the next night I would have to do this process all over again as the suction brought the hose up against the top and only allowed air to push through. It was quite annoying have to manually adjust the hose every time I wanted to use the product. I would except each night to just fill the water tank through the opening at the top and start flossing but this design does not allow for that. This product had a ton of potential due to its compact, travel easy design but definitely needs to be worked out more from a design perspective.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Philips Sonicare Compact Flosser 1000 as a part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Thank you, Stellar! I'm a twice daily teeth brusher and daily flosser. I typically use string floss but I have used other water like flossers in the past. I also have an automatic tooth brush that lets me know when I've been brushing the recommended 2 minutes. Pros: Physically I love the design, I got the lavender color which is one of my favorites. The machine itself is as big as cell phone and much wider to hold more water. It's very easy to handle in. The buttons are soft and easy to use. I love that the plastic flosser can detach with an eject button and go inside the machine to keep it sanitary and help with the compactness of the design. It basically was the size of having a lotion or sunscreen in my toilet tree cabinet. This product also came with two replacement heads. I really love the head with the white, plastic pointy part on the end. I felt like I had better control over the water stream in certain areas in between my teeth and my gums. It also surprisingly reached my back teeth which are hard to get through other flossing methods. Usage: It's very user friendly. I gently pulled down a clear case at the bottom which became a water container and I'm able to fill up the water in the hole behind the flosser head. There's a drain inside the cup that siphons the water to the flosser efficiently. Overall the machine is very intuitive and easy to use. I liked that there were three different options: sensitive, pulse, and stream. The sensitive option was my favorite and allowed me the best control when cleaning out the plaque in between my teeth. Cons: Water flow: unfortunately, I had a lot of issues with the water flow. I prefer to have a steady stream of water that I can used to navigate in between my teeth. When trying out this device multiple times, I had an issue with all three different modes creating a water pulse of varying strength. Even the sensitive option was still pulsing and made it hard to navigate the flosser to go in individual spots in my gums & teeth. Due to the varying pulsation of the water, it would reflect off of my teeth and completely spray my entire bathroom mirror / backsplash area. I couldn't even keep my eyes open and keep the machine going to test the timer option because of the spray being so overwhelming. I hoped that this compact version would be nice and quick/easy to use but due to the water flow situation I'm unable to floss my teeth properly without being in the shower with clothes I don't mind getting wet, goggles, and a mirror. I don't know if my particular flossing machine caused the issues or if this is standard for this device. Overall: 2 stars Unfortunately, I can't use this device on a regular basis, which I'm really sad about. If there's a way the water flow problem could be fixed to more of a steady stream, especially in the sensitive option- I'd use this on a daily basis. I will go back to my string floss for now. I'm grateful for the opportunity to try this item and if I could receive knowledge on how to have a steady flow, I would definitely make this apart of my daily routine.

this is the least powerful water flosser I have ever used. and somehow being less powerful makes this one the messiest one I have ever used. i love my sonicare toothbrush, but this is a return for me. can't use it anymore.

It's ok. No where near the pressure I was hoping for. It also “sinks” while using it - meaning the top part doesn't stay up, it lowers into the water compartment even when I know it is clicked into place. Button placement isn't great - making it easy to hit a button at an inconvenient time and spraying water everywhere.

[Employee of walmartcanada] It is easy to use and clean! The water that comes out is powerful, and it did remove the food debris in between my teeth, I wished I tried it sooner!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this oral health care item from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I'm not a normal flosser, but only when I know I have something stuck in my teeth, so this was an interesting product to try. It is pretty compact if you need to travel, but that comes with pros and cons. There's three settings and two nozzles types, to find a means for everyone. I recommend reading the instructions first. If you don't get it latched into the right spot, the water container will move and cover the on/off button (and water flies everywhere). You need to make sure the "straw" bringing up the water is in the right spot (at the bottom) or it won't work properly. If you are using a water flosser for the first time, it can get messy (water spraying) until you get used to how to have your mouth open to drain properly. I do love the timer cues to move onto the next area. My biggest issue is the water container size isn't big enough to last a full cycle on the clean setting. You would need to stop and add more water. Maybe some don't mind, but this is an annoying inconvenience for me. It does seem/feel cleaner after using, but the true test will be the next dentist appointment.

Still getting the hang of it. It's a bit messy for a newbie, but it gets the job done.

This thing explodes often in mid treatment and throws water all over the bathroom. I want my money back.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The flosser matches the color of my electric razor, and I really like it. It has a sufficient water volume to clean my teeth back and forth twice on the strong mode. For my upper and lower teeth on both sides, I prefer using the sensitive option because it uses water more slowly. I'm not quite sure what the pulse cleaning option is for. The flosser is compact enough to fit into luggage, taking up space similar to that of a cosmetic bag. The charging time is relatively short, providing a long usage period. One drawback is that when the water level in the container gets low, the switch button becomes difficult to access because the main part sinks to the bottom of the container. To turn off the device, you have to remove it from your mouth and lift it out of the container, which often results in splashes of remaining water on your face. I recommend using the flosser in the shower when you're already wet, rather than in the kitchen with your clothes on.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really good flosser and super easy to use. It cleans between the teeth really well and leaves my mouth feeling fresh and clean. Much easier than regular flossing, and the water pressure is comfortable. Definitely happy with the purchase!
