Is there really enough water to fully brush? Is the floss head as floppy as many claim?

I do need to refill the reservoir once to complete the flossing but I take my time because there are several areas that need special attention. I do not find any 'floppiness' in the head at all.

I have found that the reserve holds enough water to do a good flossing on the new Plus Cordless Waterpik. If there is something stuck between my teeth and I can feel it, it may take a second filling. Generally, not, however. The spout or floss head holds in place the way you need it too on this new Plus model.

My son is 12 and uses this for his braces. He has enough water to clean his top and bottom. However, I think this is personal preference. I have the traditional countertop tank model which holds more that this portable model. I will use an entire tank of water just for my top teeth. And then refill and use another tank of water on my bottom. As for the floss head being floppy... none of our heads ever pop out, whether it's the portable or the counter model. They click in and don't come out until you pull them out.

I have the WP Flosser-450, portable, no batteries. Very happy with purchase and WP gives it a 2 yr warranty. Amount of water depends on persons preference. The reservoir holds about 7.6 ounces. Sometimes it is enough for me, sometimes it isn't. But no worry since it is really easy to fill it again and double your pleasure. My floss head is secure and strong with more than enough force I need on setting Low. I just tried setting High and it is secure also.

Mainly size and number of attachements. This has a much smaller footprint and holds less water. It only comes with one extra flossing tip. I prefer this to the full size one which takes up too much space on the counter.

I would consider them medium. My wife & I both love this toothbrush. I use it more gingerly than she. It would seem the pressure used to actually brush is more of a factor than the soft, medium or hard bristle type, in my humble opinion anyway. There seem to be three different types of bristles on the brush head itself. Hope this helps !

This one is corded. Sounds like Waterpik's "Showerpik" or one of their "Cordless Water Flossers" is what you might be looking for.

The Waterpik Waterflosser is 12" high from base to flosser tip, about 1-1/2" wide and 2" deep. It holds enough water for one use, but you can refill again if you feel you need more.

Great question. For now Sonicare only manufactures one type of brsuh head and they do not specify the firmness. As a dentist I would say the that the bristles most closely resemble "soft" manual toothbrushes. The cool thing is that the toothbrush handle has five different settings with the lowest setting being "Sensative". Even patients with sensative gums should be able to tolerate this setting well.

There was only one brush head that I remember. What strucjk me as odd/different was that it the base had the center battery square but not the cover that goes over it.he base cover just fine--actually smaller footprint. I wish I would not have been quick to dispose of the old toothbrush. But no big deal works without t

Tooth brush yes, but sorry, there is a cord on the water pik. It draws water from a well to ""floss" with.

I consider the brush head that comes with it to be more of a medium, but I got the Pro Results Gum Health brush heads and use those instead and they are very soft

Hi Vinny R,The head is semi soft alittle more firm. Buy just one if you can get it, just to try it out. The dual head brushes up & down & in between your teeth. I hope this helps. Have a great evening. V'Netta.

I leave mine plugged in and in the base all the time. I alternate every other night brushing my teeth with a manual toothbrush. When I floss after using the Sonicare, it's *gross* how much gunk I'm able to get out easily. That alone proves how effective the Sonicare is at moving stuff out of the gums to where it can be removed. Just keep that kind of thing in mind: Sonicare vs. rotting gunk.

Mine works pretty well. Maybe you're using too much liquid or possibly not rinsing pad often enough. Hope it works out for you.

I just brush along the "teeth" area with my hand and it's ready to go. It does look washable as well.

not sure, I would contact Waterpik. It definitely works best in the shower with my head tilted.

I have no scientific proof; but, the bristles are very soft and still do an excellent job of cleaning the teeth and gums. The bristles don't go all floppy like regular toothbrush bristles, they maintain their looks and power to clean well for awhile.

I can only speak from my perspective, so I would not recommend this product as a total replacement for flossing. But as an in-between meals supplement to flossing, I love mine. The product is not without flaws. The fluid reservoir is too small and the cover to that reservoir is a bit "iffy", but you would be surprised how much power that stream of air/water/mouthwash pulse has. I would expect to see an upgrade to the reservoir problems on the next version of this product.
