I have been steadily using water flossers for around 2 years now so I have some experience with them and I would rank this one as a decent average choice.I liked that it is waterproof and therefore all the parts can be safely exposed to water without risk of rusting or damage (except the charging port which you need to keep shut to prevent water from entering).I also like that they included 4 various tips, allowing users to find the best one for their needs. For example, there is a regular water jet tip, one best to deep clean, another one more effective for braces etc. This is great for a new user who isn't too sure yet which one he most needs and can try them and then eventually reorder the type of tip he needs most.Size-wise this container is rather small and you'll need to refill it at least twice to floss properly. So, this is awesome if you are someone who travels a lot (portability) or just want something small because space is an issue. I personally prefer a water flosser with a bigger container when using at home but this one is coming with me on trips!If you are new to using water flossers, be patient and know that it is likely to be messy the first time! I think it is a universal experience that every single person's first time using a water flosser ended with them getting water all over their face and all over the ceiling! I would advise draping a towel over your chest so that it absorbs the dripping water and makes it a bit less inconvenient. And, of course, use the LOW water mode at the beginning to get a gentle flow. You could practice clicking the buttons (with the water container empty so nothing comes out) because it makes it easier to familiarise yourself with the position of the buttons and you can then easily find the switch on/off button when using (the buttons are rather small so seeing it just by looking in the mirror can be hard). I would say that the secret to water flossing efficiently is ANGLES! With time you'll know exactly how to tilt your head so the water hits the right angle and you can smoothly let the water do its job of cleaning. It is awesome to keep plaque from accumulating so I definitely think it is a useful product but it takes some time to get used to.In terms of cleaning, I just wash the water jet tip and then pat the water flosser dry and lay it flat on a towel afterwards to allow it to air dry completely before the next use. You can do a more thorough cleaning of the container too, at least once a week ideally.The reason I categorise the product as "average" is because there are definitely more advanced models on the market, in terms of container size, in terms of water flow pressure options, in terms of finish etc. However these models are usually more expensive. At $29.99 I think it is a fair price. I would particularly recommend this to someone who needs a water flosser for traveling or someone who is new to water flossers and is not sure they'll be able to commit to using it regularly and therefore want to try it and see if they like the results or not, without spending too much money.
