ION Professional WF12 Rechargeable Portable Cordless Water Flosser Teeth Cleaner - Black

After conducting extensive product research into water flossers and premium oral-care systems, I chose the Waterpik ION Professional Cordless Water Flosser, and it has exceeded my expectations. I specifically wanted a high-quality countertop water flosser that offered strong performance without adding unnecessary clutter to my bathroom. The rechargeable cordless design was a major reason I selected the ION. It looks clean and modern, the reservoir is large enough for a complete session, and the battery life makes it convenient to use without keeping it constantly connected to an outlet. The cleaning performance is excellent. It reaches between the teeth and along the gumline in areas that brushing alone simply cannot clean as effectively. My mouth feels noticeably fresher, and my entire routine feels much more complete. I pair it with the Oral-B iO Series 9 Limited Electric Toothbrush with Ultimate Clean Brush Head. I also researched that purchase extensively and initially compared it with the Oral-B iO Series 10. Oral-B Customer Service, which was excellent, explained that the iO Series 9 Limited Edition was released after the iO Series 10 and recommended it as the latest option in the market. Together, these two products create an outstanding oral-care system. The Waterpik ION handles the spaces between the teeth and around the gumline, while the Oral-B iO Series 9 Limited provides a thorough and polished brushing experience. I did not choose this combination casually. I compared products, features, design, technology, and convenience before deciding. After using both, I genuinely believe the Waterpik ION Professional Cordless Water Flosser and the Oral-B iO Series 9 Limited are among the best oral-care products available and work even better as a pair.

Lo he tenido durante meses y usándolo una vez al día, no lo he tenido que cargar de vuelta, entonces la batería me parece excelente. Leí comentarios de que se le fuga el agua, bueno, no fue mi caso en ningún momento. Algo ruidoso en comparación con el waterpik de viaje pero vale la pena porque mi problema con ese otro era la batería y lo poco que duraba, por lo que estoy encantada con este producto. Tiene varias intensidades para aventar el agua y viene con diferentes accesorios para personas con brackets, lavado de lengua, lavado de prótesis, etcétera.

I think the battery management is poorly done. I bought one of these and liked it, so I got my Mom the same exact one. Mom left her's plugged in 24/7, used it daily and the battery would no longer take a charge after about 18 months. I only charged mine when the light blinked to indicate that it wanted charging - mine lasted about 2 years with daily use. I feel like this sort of product should last a lot longer than that - we can't keep filling our landfills with plastic - and batteries, because I don't really believe that anybody removes and recycles the battery before trashing it when it dies. This is a design flaw. I bet every unit of this particular model dies in 2 years or less due to battery failure thanks to poorly designed battery management. I love this unit's features, size, portability... And $99 every 2 years to have healthy gums isn't too bad. But, I just can't get behind the attitude that it's ok for products like this to last such a short time. Also, I don't recall seeing this anywhere in the instructions - but it's not legal (and not safe) to travel with this device in your checked bags - carry-on only. But, seriously, buy a different one, it can't be worse. Edit: I really couldn't stand to toss it and I've got an EE degree and skills. It turns out that the battery inside is a very standard one easily purchased on the internet and, if you can solder, easily replaced. And, surprise, brand new battery does NOT fix the issue. If you to an internet search about replacing the battery on this exact model of flosser, you'll get thousands of hits. There are a lot of people out there with these and many of them are dead and the battery is not supposed to be user replaceable and stop trying because to won't help. That said, I do not like any of the 'travel' or portable ones with a tank that you hold while flossing. And, I don't like the way the other brands work. Waterpik makes a 'travel flosser' called 'Sidekick'. https://www.amazon.com/Waterpik-Sidekick-Water-Flosser-copper/dp/B0795WSJJ6/ref=sr_1_1_pp. Sidekick does not have a battery so you can legally put it in your checked bag - it operates on line voltage and is specifically 120/240v and 50/60Hz compatible so it can operate anywhere with a simple plug adapter. So, I got one and I use it at home too - the tank could be a little bit bigger - but it works and there is no battery in it to die in less than 2 years.

UPDATE July 19, 2022: After reading Waterpik's excellent support pages, I'm increasing my rating. I'd never cleaned it. I worked the valve in the tank open/closed (the valve is not one of the removable valves), I ran water + vinegar through the parts, flushed them all out with water, and charged it up fully again. It seems to be running like new; did not leak and gave full pressure. If I have to clean it every six months, that's OK with me. ORIGINAL review: I've been using this product for about 7 months. Functionality: GREAT! After 6 months, my dentist, who always bugs me about not flossing, needing deep cleaning, needing 3 or more visits/year, said my teeth and gums were better than they've ever seen them. They found no problems, and told me to just keep up the great work! I'm over 60 and sleep with my mouth open, so gum "pockets", gum disease, etc. is a real threat for me. It is also easy to use, and the charge usually lasted me at least 2 weeks with 1 use per day on highest setting (I had to get used to that setting, but after a few days, that was the setting I always used). The problem is with reliability. I can't have it leaking a big puddle of water onto my counter almost every time I fill it. I can't have the on/off button get stuck such that it on longer turns of or on, and I have to let it dry out and/or recharge it for hours before the button starts working properly for a few more days. BTW, I did not drop or abuse the unit in any way. I'll probably try a competing product to see if the functionality will be similar, but with more reliability. The one thing I'm sure of is I will continue to use some type of water flosser.

Después de un año empezó a apagarse y ya no funciona, está constantemente cargando, después de una hora de carga funciona 4 segundos, no compren esta porquería.
