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 have never used a water flosser before and have generally avoided flossing even with traditional floss because my teeth are so tight together and my gums bleed very easily. Although my husband uses a water flosser I never wanted to try his because it was so bulky, loud and hard to fill. When I was given the opportunity to try out the Philips Sonicare Compact Flosser 1000 with the Stellar Product Testing Panel I jumped on it for one main reason- it claimed to be compact. After several weeks of use I feel like I can properly review this for the skeptic or the curious. It truly is compact and even when left on my counter to dry it doesn't take up a lot of space. I found that one of the tips can slide into the water filling hole for easy travel so I am even happy to take it in my camper and keep up great oral health while in the woods! I went from flossing once a month just so I wouldn't have to tell my dentist I didn't floss at all to nightly flossing and still haven't had to recharge the battery. I love that I could start with a more gentle settings and alternate flosser head provided. I felt confident to spend enough time in each area of my mouth with the convenient pulse change to indicate time to move on. At first I didn't think it was enough time but now that I am more comfortable with the product it seems to be the right amount of time. I have never had my gums bleed with this product and I feel like I have fresher breath in the mornings after using the Philips Sonicare Compact Flosser 1000 before bed. I highly recommend the Philips Sonicare Compact Flosser 1000 and will be getting one for my husband as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first tried my new compact flosser, I immediately noticed just how strong it was! The intensity was surprising, but I soon got used to it. I found that it was actually the best thing for my teeth and gums! Philips includes a Sensitive mode, which I used to slowly get myself accustomed to their flosser's strength. Once I worked my way up, my teeth and gums had never felt more clean. It quickly and altogether removed the hard to brush plaque from my teeth! My favorite part about this Philips Flosser is that it works wonderfully for anyone with permanent retainers or braces! The water pressure and overall clean was much more efficient than regular floss. It didn't cause my gums to bleed and cleared away more plaque. One I got my flosser properly set up, it was fairly convenient to use on a daily basis. I could simply fill the tank to the water line and turn on. If I were to travel, it's easy enough to take apart the pieces to make it more compact. The convenient features on this flosser are wonderful, especially the long battery life. As a person who doesn't love having cords all over my counters, I love that I can charge my flosser and put the cord away for a long while. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this oral health care item.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the Philips Sonicare Compact Flosser 1000 for a few weeks now, and it's quickly become one of my favorite dental care tools. Right away, I noticed my mouth feeling cleaner and fresher compared to my old string floss routine. I have sensitive gums and wanted to find something comfortable enough for everyday use. This flosser gives me that squeaky-clean feeling—removing food particles and plaque—while still being gentle on my gums. I'm often on the go, and its sleek, compact design fits perfectly into my toiletry bag without adding bulk. Despite its small size, the water pressure is powerful enough to clean between tight spaces and around the back teeth in just one minute, thanks to the built-in timer. What I love most is the long battery life, which lets me go through multiple trips without recharging, and the multiple nozzles make it easy for my partner to use as well. Overall, it's a convenient, sleek, and travel-friendly option for daily use. I was given this oral health care item to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Philips Sonicare Compact Flosser 1000 through the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and I have to say—I'm pleasantly surprised by this compact powerhouse! The directions were clear and easy to follow, and once I got the hang of the setup and features (after a few accidental ceiling and mirror sprays), I was able to achieve a deep, thorough clean between my teeth. While the “Pulse” and “Clean” modes felt a bit too intense for my first few uses, I was grateful for the gentler “Sensitive” setting, which made the transition much more comfortable. I also love that the flosser folds down into a neat, compact shape for storage, with the nozzle tucked out of sight. The expandable water chamber is a clever design I've never seen before, and the soft lavender color is simply gorgeous. The angled nozzle makes it effortless to reach tricky spots between teeth and along the gumline, although flossing from the inside of my teeth—as the pamphlet suggests—has taken a bit of practice. Still, the Philips Sonicare Compact Flosser 1000 is far quicker and less messy than traditional flossing, giving me a full clean in about a minute. Overall, I'm thrilled to add this tool to my daily oral care routine—it's efficient, stylish, and truly effective.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for the opportunity to try this out! I'll be honest, I HATE flossing. Traditional floss has always caused me discomfort because my gums are extremely sensitive and prone to bleeding. This water flosser has completely changed that. The pulse and clean settings were a bit harsh, but I'm sure I'll get used to them. The sensitive setting with the comfort tip worked best for me personally. It's gentle enough that it doesn't cause irritation or bleeding, but it still leaves my mouth feeling very clean. I have to refill the tank a few times during use because of the compact size. But I don't mind since it doesn't take up much counter space. The battery life has been impressive too. I've been using it daily for about a week and haven't had to charge it yet. My only complaint is the button placement. I've accidentally bumped the buttons during use and changed modes without meaning to. I've also turned it on by accident while assembling the tank, which has resulted in a few unexpected water sprays. All in all, it does the job, and I'm really happy that I finally found a solution that works for my sensitive gums.

[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.

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.

[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 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 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.
