It is for teeth only. Voted cold as do not have teeth.

Don't need it

Bought it anyway.

I'm screwed come Prime Day tomorrow

It is prime only. Voted cold as do not have prime.

I did not say that, I was asking if this is like an air compressor because the only other one I know is the one with water jet.
Anyway, my understanding is that they might clean the loose food around but cannot replace a good manual brushing/flossing.

Why on earth does knowing its not an air compressor make you come to that conclusion?

It does a very quick job cleaning between teeth and is recommended by dentists for those who dont get on with floss.

Thank you, so is this actually wasted precious time that can instead be used in the traditional way to manually clean teeth in a better way? with toothbrush, floss etc....

It basically compresses a small chamber with liquid inside then releases it in a burst.

It's not like an air compressor in that it doesn't store anything compressed in order to then release it, it compresses and releases in one action.

​Depends how brave you are lol.
Seriously, they come in about 7 different sizes from 0.5mm to 1.5mm and you should manage a size(s) to suit you. I use 2 diff sizes as advised by my dentist.
Google TEPE interdental BRUSH.
They are not that expensive but try discussing with your dentist and you may get a couple of free samples

is this just like an air compressor?? or more than that, please someone explain. Thank you

what kinda floss would they be if they block up themselves. lol

That's a load of old BS from Philips trying to make a bit more money. Haven't changed the tip on mine in over a year, still does the exact same job.

****, just missed this. Back up to £71 now :disappointed:

****, just missed this. Back up to £71 now :disappointed:

yeah :/ was only active for 24 hours sry!

Looked like a good deal. Showing expired now though :disappointed:

did you know the nossle is supposed to be changed every 6 months? I wonder how much that will be?

ordered. thanks. my breath got stinky over the last couple of month so hopefully this should be good

also manual ones are hopeless at getting to bad teeth...no, actually near impossible

​They most certainly are NOT. I never understand why people buy such rubbish. if you want to use a manual method then pixsters are a million times better than the useless tepe ones

great item, used mine for since thry came out about 2 or so years ago

Is the 35% discount from working in the Army/NHS etc?

My dentist advises a quick swish with the waterpik to flush away any food between the teeth, and then floss. Amazingly, I now do exactly that, and my gums have gone from dire to excellent.

If you really can't floss, then this is better than nothing, but it doesn't get below the gum line.

Don't need it...Ordered! Thanks Op!

My parents have both and prefer the airfloss. So I guess there's an element of personal preference involved...

Ordered thx.

Will this double as a power hose for cleaning my decking?

I've had two Waterpiks, and they both stopped working after approximately 10 days. I might have to give one of these a go, even though I (try to) floss every day.

These are crap, they break a lot :confused:

Don't need it

Philips is pleased to offer you a 24 month exchange or repair warranty on this product within the European Union. Please contact Philips on 02079490240 (UK) or 015245443 (Ireland)

Seems like a last chance to buy and exercise full 2 years warranty :laughing:

By the way, does it just clean between teeth /gums only or removes the black markings close to teeth gaps as well?

I returned mine. It's rubbish

I got one of these as I'm unable to floss the conventional way. After a few months of religious use I visited my dentist for a check up. An xray revealed plaque deposits just below the gum line. They definitely weren't there the last time I visited the dentist which was roughly two weeks before starting with this.

Not saying it doesn't work, just that from my experience it doesn't do as thorough a job as dental floss. If you suffer from gum disease that could be an issue.

Changed my vote to cold as I dont have any gums. :stuck_out_tongue:

I thought they were for gums.....

True, I considered this too. But with a 24 month warranty and seemingly good customer service I went for it.

Wow.....

Have both and personally I think the Waterpik is 100x better.
So good in fact I bought another one today:
http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/waterpik-wp660-ultra-professional-water-flosser-for-49-58-amazon-2478110

I've also read the waterpik is better but not as convenient to use.

The cordless waterpik is not much more:

But unsure if its as effective as the larger corded waterpiks.

Yeah I just bought this and got it with student discount
I was looking at it last month and I was going to purchase it at £40

i use mine twice a day. easy and quick. my dentist says better than before. yes she nags me to floss. but I always gave up on flossing. this I haven't. HOT HOT HOT

From what I've read the waterpik is a bit better but the airfloss is far more convenient to use. And lets face it, if we weren't lazy - we'd just floss properly anyway! :stuck_out_tongue:

You shouldn't apply any pressure. It just needs placing in-between your teeth.

Had a couple of these because the failure rate is high.
Some just stop working, some the plastic just breaks if you use it with a little too much pressure (ie like a normal toothbrush)

Philip and Boots returned and replaced with no issue over the last 2 years

There are lots of reviews saying the same but Philips have not redesigned the product or seemingly made any improvements. Poorly designed and manufactured product.

Forgot to mention, its also excellent for partially impacted wisdom teeth. Something flossing and brushing can't deal with. A few squirts in the gaps and it cleans them out without irritating the gums around the wisdom teeth.

Also looked at the water pick. Problem is it needs a spare shaver socket in the bathroom which many people may not have :disappointed:

I would be interested in hearing any comparisons between the Airflows and the cordless water pick if anyone has used both :smiley:

Slot of comments that miss the point here, yes flossing thoroughly is better than this product. But as any dentist will tell you not enough people floss, despite getting told to every time they go to the dentist. I'm one of those people, i find floss super uncomfortable and i just can't get into the habit.

This however is dead easy to use, takes seconds to do and really helps clean between teeth, especially when used with mouthwash.

I have had mine over a year with no problems, not all of them break.

The Waterpik is enormous and very noisy. Not for everyone.

Our first one stopped working after a few weeks. They emailed a free post label and swapped it over in a few days with minimal hassle. The second one has been fine for several months.

Its not a replacement for flossing. If you have a good flossing routine don't bother with this. For those of us that don't have a good flossing routine, its better then nothing.

My wife has tightly packed teeth which makes flossing difficult for her (sometimes cuts gums while getting floss/brush in). I have a couple of slightly large gaps for which this is excellent. We have floss in the bathroom, bedside tables, living room but still don't manage to floss daily :/

I grabbed this during the Tesco offer a few months ago. For whatever reason, we've managed to use this daily after brushing, so its been worth it.

I really wanted this but every other review says it stops working after a few months. Seems like it is poorly made

Thanks OP used NUS to get it down to £26.99 - can't see Prime Day being any cheaper tomorrow

I think this better has butter reviews http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/waterpik-wp660-ultra-professional-water-flosser-for-49-58-amazon-2478110

sheesh I cant add it to my wish list!

Prime doesn't matter squat, I get free prime + 35% off all purchases

You could always just get 1 months Prime membership for £7.99, if you can't get 1 month free that is.

I have one of these but find it no replacement for interdental brushes and flossing. It just sits unused now and I much prefer doing the job right with small blushes and floss

I used to have interdental brushes and then I bought this. For me, there is no going back. I find it easy to use in a way the brushes were not and it makes me do it a lot more often than I used to. I got mine in the amazon warehouse a while back (it was new though) and it was more expensive than the £30. For this price I am tempted to buy another one though I really don't need it.

never seen these

It is prime only. Voted cold as do not have prime.

Hot! Applied the £10 Audible credit and NUS discount!

signed up for free trial and ordered...bargain :smiley:

£29.99 price doesn't seem to have been registered yet

Brilliant coming up at 26.99 for me. Maybe my student discount as well.

thanks, ordered

as an alternative try TEPE interdental brushes.
much more effective and also MUCH cheaper.

ordered another for my mum
thanks op

Bargain. I use one already

To be fair it is double the price if you haven't paid your Amazon tax.
