What customers say about "Key Specs"
Philips Sonicare AirFloss (HX8211/03) Rechargeable Electric Flosser
  • Wonderful product, quiet, fast, efficient!
  • t's fast! It's easy to use! It reaches those spaces far back in your mouth.
  • The reservoir is so small that if you need to puff between any of your teeth a second time, you will need to refill it.
  • Convenient to use, but the water reservoir is kind of too small.
  • The tiny reservoir doesn't even hold enough liquid for a single use, which is surprising, because each pulse -- paced at about a second apart -- uses so little water that it's thoroughly ineffective
Waterpik Complete Care (WP-900) Water Flosser and Sonic Toothbrush
  • The toothbrush is nice, too, with two speeds. I'm very pleased with the entire system.
  • This particular model also comes with a two-speed sonic toothbrush, and that is also great.
  • Has speed features for sensitive gums.
  • Have more than one speed for both sids the brush and the water hose. I highly recommended it.
  • The toothbrush is great, there's two speed settings and it's timed so you know when to switch locations in your mouth to get the 2 mins of brushing time.

What customers say about "Product Dimentions"
Philips Sonicare AirFloss (HX8211/03) Rechargeable Electric Flosser
  • I like this compact flosser.
  • I wanted a compact flosser and this works great for everyday use.
  • It’s compact & unobtrusive
  • Very poor design.
Waterpik Complete Care (WP-900) Water Flosser and Sonic Toothbrush
  • Great purchase! Would buy again because the toothbrush is sturdy, the water container is exactly the right size, and it is quiet.
  • This is a real spacesaver and both toothbrush and waterpik work very well.
  • simply for saving space on my rather limited-size countertop.
  • The size is fairly compact for the 2 items in one unless you don't have a lot of counter space.

What customers say about "Specifications"
Philips Sonicare AirFloss (HX8211/03) Rechargeable Electric Flosser
  • Gizmo does exactly what it says, sends a burst of high-pressure liquid that cleans quite well.
  • Good, I wish is was more of a constant flow of water but the pulses work too.
  • I do not like the “bursts” of water. I’d rather have a stream. It makes a mess of the mirror even with standing back.
  • It's just a single, extremely small burst of water or mouthwash.
  • Not a lot of liquid is moved with each "pulse" and the reservoir is super small, so I had to refill even before I was done with all my teeth.
Waterpik Complete Care (WP-900) Water Flosser and Sonic Toothbrush
  • Using the waterpik is easier than flossing and the sonic toothbrush with timer is awesome!
  • The timer helps him to brush for appropriate amount of time, so that has helped him.
  • I've used both for a month and am pleased with the ease of operation as well as performance.
  • It has been a joy to to use this product It is well made and performs with excellent
  • The sonic toothbrush is weighty and has an easy to read LED charge display.

What customers say about "Accessories"
Philips Sonicare AirFloss (HX8211/03) Rechargeable Electric Flosser
  • This is my second Sonic Air Flosser. I prefer the first air flosser's "tip", The new tip cannot be directed as well
  • The only thing I have against it is that the tip does not stay on good so I have to hold it while using.
  • The only problem that really happens often is the attachment tip. There's a perforation along the bottom or where the tip connects to the motor/pump. The tip breaks frequently.
  • Had to replace the tip as the first one broke after a couple months.
Waterpik Complete Care (WP-900) Water Flosser and Sonic Toothbrush
  • I was amazed at the abilities of the WaterPik with a different heads, and the timer that is on the toothbrush is been an excellent addition.
  • The flosser does not take up a lot of space, keeps the toothbrush charged, and conveniently stores accessory tips and brushes.
  • Easy to use and the accessories makes this unit complete.
  • The footprint is bigger than I would like and the extra accessory heads seem overkill to me.

What customers say about "Power"
Philips Sonicare AirFloss (HX8211/03) Rechargeable Electric Flosser
  • I use it at night only, and the battery holds up decently well
  • While it doesn't replace floss, it is powerful enough that I got a clean bill of health after three weeks of use.
  • I bought this in August and by the end of September it stopped working. I tried to drain the battery and recharge it for 24 hours-nothing.
  • Poor battery quality
  • After a short period of time the on/off switch stopped working. couldn't turn it off -had to wait for battery to die
Waterpik Complete Care (WP-900) Water Flosser and Sonic Toothbrush
  • It is compact, yet powerful enough to get the job done.
  • The water floss is really powerful but at the same time, it's adjustable.
  • The reservoir is large allowing for a longer cleansing time and I have several choices as to the intensity of the power.
  • Very powerful brush, motor /pump noisy and loud.
  • Do work your way up the power settings on the unit, the water pressure can get pretty high and damage your gums if they are not in good shape.
