H2ofloss Portable Water Dental Flosser

This water flosser is incredibly easy to use and quickly became a favorite in my dental care routine. Unlike others floss, it doesn’t require complicated skills or risk hurting your gums. The water stream effectively removes food debris and plaque, leaving my mouth feeling cleaner and healthier. Also, the high frequency water flow massages the gums and germs promoting a better blood circulation and overall health.

I was using an older model of this a water pick so looked for their latest model. The new model has some pros and cons with the older model but is effective, easy to use and light in weight. The older model gave a couple of extra options regarding the power of the water jet but the new model still works effectively.

After my last visit to the dentist (had not been in several years) I started to think about using a water-pic type device since that’s what the dentists use to blast the plaque off your teeth these days – very little use of the old metal dental picks and the scraping away of the plaque.

Had never used a water-pic before but a long time user of floss. Looking on Amazon for ideas found out there are battery powered ones that incorporate a water tank and don’t require any hook up to a faucet. Selected this H2O model based on reviews and price.

Amazing difference using a water jet to clean between teeth vs. floss – much, much more effective (why doesn’t the dentist recommend using a water-pic)? The amount of debris that comes out while using will astound you – it did me and my wife.

This unit is very effective and easy to use; the adjustability of the nozzle direction makes it easy to accommodate access, the adjustable frequency of the water pulses lets one tune it just for your comfort (believe me, when you first use it you will need that lowest setting), and the capacity of the water tank.

At first, it would take 3-4 tanks to do the cleaning but now I can be finished after 1 1/2 tanks and the second to highest pulse setting – very quick and effective.

We took this unit on our vacation and it worked fine but make sure you have a USB 5v power supply somewhere in your travel items. Once you get used to the super clean feeling in your mouth after use you will not want to be anywhere without access to this device on a daily (bi-daily) basis.

Only negative on this product was the breakage on the two plastic tabs molded into the tank that help retain it to the water jet body. These are pretty flimsy and I knew it wouldn’t be long before they broke allowing the tank to come free when loaded with water. Solved this very easily (for us) with the use of a stout rubber band going around the bottom of the tank and resting on the chrome button that releases the water nozzle. Works great, easy to do, and no waiting for the manufacturer to come up with an improved tank or a replacement.

First time user tips – 1) Use the lowest setting on the strength of pulses until your mouth/gums get a chance to adapt, 2) use warm water at first for best comfort, and 3) adjust your grip on the unit so that you don’t (and you will at first) inadvertently hit the button to speed up the pulse frequency – your gums will not appreciate the increased intensity.

Final note: will never be without a water pic again for dental hygiene.

11/20/20 Update to original review
This is a further evaluation and commentary on the use and reliability of the H2o flosser (model IPX7) that I purchased in March of 2020. There have been problems, the most important one has been highly satisfactorily resolved by the H2o support team.
My first unit worked flawlessly from purchase until the first problem prevented it’s use in late August. At that time, the unit began to deliver less water flow at the nozzle – it was a mixture of air and water (compared to water only as the unit originally operated); this stream was not effective in cleansing the teeth and gums.
I contacted H2o customer service and they (specifically Lily Lange) responded immediately by sending out a replacement; I received that unit within a week of my original email describing my problem.
Unfortunately, within two weeks the replacement unit malfunctioned in that it too began delivering a weaker water and air mix and would not recharge. I tried several different USB 5v chargers with no improvement. I contacted Lily L. again and within 3 days I had another replacement flosser in my possession.
Happy to have another flosser (once you began using a water jet flosser any other means of cleaning your teeth are woefully inadequate IMHO) I astoundingly was confronted with the very same – won’t take a charge – problem within 4 days.
What gives, I asked myself…tried other chargers that I knew were effective to no avail and began to think that maybe the H2o flosser was just not going to work out. However, I had purchased another flosser when my wife and I decided we couldn’t share (going out of town apart and being without said flosser – no way). Purchased hers in late August and it has been working without any problems.
Again, got back with H2o customer support and they posited a potential problem – the power cord from the 5v charger to the flosser. Then some lights began to come on in my head; back in July when we vacationed out of town I noted that the I was having some kind of electrical connection problems in that I could not get a solid connection to the flosser with the cable. The blue light, indicating a connection, would sometimes not go on and stay on; I played with the connection until it was solid and had to sometimes lay the device a certain way to maintain the connection. Also, the unit would still be flashing that blue light even after an all-night connection and I wondered whether something was wrong with the charging circuit in the unit.
When we got home the problem persisted and I, thinking that water in the charging port might be a problem, consistently put the little white plug back in the port during usage to discourage this potential problem. But, as I mentioned, that first flosser finally exhibited a problem I couldn’t work around when it began to deliver a weaker stream of water at the nozzle and requested a replacement unit (back in Sept.)
Now, with a first and then second replacement flosser not getting charged properly and H2o support suggesting that the cable might be the problem I used my wife’s cable to charge (again, hers had been working fine since Aug.); lo and behold the intermittent charging light problem was gone AND the unit fully recharged in less than 5 hours (H2o notes that a completely discharged unit may take up to 5 hours to recharge).
What further adds to the “strangeness” of my problem was that I also tried a “new” never been used charging cable that came with the replacement unit and it too exhibited the same problem. However, comparing the “bad” cables to my wife’s “good” cable showed a subtle difference that indicates some processing or design change was made to “said” cable. The photo shows the only obvious difference in the two – the “strain relief” feature on the two cables is different, the longer strain relief is on the “good” cable.

All normal indications for the recharge function appeared correct – the blue charging light was flashing indicating a solid connection. However, it appears that the “bad” cable could not deliver enough juice or power to recharge the batteries – only enough to energize the recharge circuit status (blue) light and therein lay the problem. This weak or partial connection also explains why the flashing blue light never went off even after being left on the 5v charger overnight.
Thus, as of this note, the 2nd replacement unit is working flawlessly AND the 1st replacement unit’s problem (weak and low volume water flow) was also corrected by a complete recharge courtesy of the “good” power cable.
As a final note, H2o send me another charging cable and I did not have to send back the defective first flosser or the faulty cables even though I would willing have done so.
I think the flosser is a great product for oral hygiene and H2o is very customer-oriented in standing behind their product(s) with excellent customer service.

I originally purchased this item about 8 months ago and loved it. Well, to my surprise and chagrin, it stopped working. So with Amazons’ urging, I reached directly out to the manufacturer. My experience with them has been AMAZING! They immediately replied to my email and sent me their newly designed h2oflosser model. I really like the new design. It seems a bit sleeker which is a nice fit when handling it. I especially like that the charging plug is now a universal C cable making it easier to replace, if need be. Also the charging port is now in the back of the unit having a cover that is attached, this helps to prevent water from getting in that area. Similar to the original design, the travel case it comes with is lovely. Finally, and most importantly, it’s working beautifully, efficiently and effectively. I highly recommend this product and compliment their customer service personnel for really standing behind their product and caring about their customers.

Amazing !! Was a bit sceptical to buy this as thought was going to be rubbish but wow this tool is amazing wish I took a before and after photo as after a few washes the plaque was gone so impressed !!!

Really loved this flosser, but quit working for no reason at 7 months old.
No clue.
Guess it is a throwaway like most things these days.
Really happy to report the company honored a one year warranty and offered a full refund.
Great company. Hope they can reformulate a higher quality product.
