"I don't know about you, but I really don't like flossing my teeth-"
**hangs up**
you should totally call the 8 bit guy and repeat the first line of this video
@laurentprodz @232nate You'll both be glad to know that this is the last of these types of reviews. The next few will be tech only. However as with all my other tech videos these will take a lot longer to film and edit together. So there will be a bit of a gap until my next video.
It's easy and fun to use. I fill the reservoir with a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution. Using my water pic was messy and flossing was a chore. The Air Floss leaves my mouth feeling clean and fresh. The H2O2 solution disinfects, whitens, and the foaming action helps to remove debris. It also eliminates the need for tip change. I put it back on the charger base after each usage and I've had no problem with the battery. I highly recommended the Air Floss.
Sorry, I really don't know..I'd ask the person who fitted your braces. It works fine for me...i'm sure that it's not as efficient as floss...but it's a lot easier and better than nothing.
Not sure you are correct, I have a oral-b electric toothbrush which has that bathroom plug and it doesn't fit in a normal European plug, the rods are a bit closer together and are a bit thicker.
@DLSS I know, I travel a lot, but in the UK, the only place you see them is in the bathroom.
@DLSS I'm not sure that I've ever needed to scan anything on the go - so it wouldn't be much use for me. Hopefully someone else has reviewed one for you.
This was a REALLY good demo. I liked the use of the tissue.
@electrodarman I'm afraid that's really a question for my dentist. It seems like its doing its job to me though.
The first Phillips AirFloss I got was a year ago, which stopped working in six weeks. I used mouthwash because it said I could but from what my dentist and the lady on the phone at Phillips, that may caused it to stop working by clogging the tubing system. It took several months to get a replacement as there was a back order. That one worked for six months but the same thing happened...no spray but just a high pitched beep instead. I used bottled H2O to prevent any residue in the tubing system this time. The idea of doing this is prefect but the produce isn't perfect.
Thanks a lot for the product demonstration. The product is a real success!
i have been using waterpik for years. Can't do without them. The problem with waterpik is as already mentioned here and I like to add that the hose does not last long and will break after a year or so. And you can't just replace the hose. It comes with the holder as well. I just bought this air floss and eagerly await for it to arrive. Good video and a professional voice.
you can use it to froth up a coffee
It seems like it wouldn't be too easy on weak gums or people with little to no space in between teeth.
@Techmoan I like these random videos. I think you have an ace way of reviewing stuff I couldn't really care less what it may be. I do prefer the longer ones though but that obviously takes time.
Hi, I am not a dental professional but we bought one. We have 2 childeren and braces.
We now have it for 4 months an everybody is using it every day. Kids do not floss but ale willing to use this !!
For us it is working very good. I really would buy one again if this is broken.
Anytime, it's a great product.
@darkstonecastle None of these types of thing do as good a job as real flossing, because they don't slide between the gum and the teeth like a string of floss would.....That being said though, I much prefer this to my older device. It's quicker and I don't get a stream of water flowing back along my arm.
Plaque is different to tartar and calculus. It's more easily removed. Dentists themselves use air and water when they examine and clean teeth.
In the UK and Ireland - you would see these bathroom plugs that resemble euro plugs in hotels, motels and some domestic homes. They are called shaver plugs.
All it needs is water and power. It pressurises it's own air.
I love the Philips sonicare airfloss! It the best shop I did this year. I have never had my mouth só clean...lol Its like going To dentist To clean everyday
You are lucky minority - they mad so many they to try to keep selling them but there are much better ones with variable water pressure
Bought my first one for proffesional courtesy price $CAD 78 back in January 2012. Use it until the battery died in September. Because it is past 90 days, no money refunded only 3 years warranty. I have been exchanging back and forth since. This is my 4th ones and the 5th is coming. 2 of mine is for patient handheld, and the last one that only last 2 usage and died, was professional trial handheld. Hence, the CS complaint and the product it self. Asked about product follow up...but nothing.
No they are not. It's the UK bathroom plug that has slightly fatter pins and they are a bit closer. You can't plug that into outlets in other countries.
we still have one from Imetec that is powered by mains and has a big tank for water, but is pretty cheaply made (is like 12 years old right now) and the small pump is so cheap it broke off after 3 years of use.
It doesn't use much water anyway, but speed can be regulated pretty nicely
bathroom type plugs xD
that my friend is a normal european plug without ground (those with ground have a round shape with a round hole at the top) also known as the europlug .
I never even knew such a thing existed.
The modern day equivalent is the Panasonic EW-DJ10
Very nice Breitling watch!
I flossed my teeth once in the past 4 years, and that was at the dentist...
Hears a great tip- put some mouthwash into the device that way the antibacterial solution will get under your gums and between your teeth for a cleaner clean. I use Colgate peroxide that's like bleach for your teeth
Short but great review man! I also hate flossing my teeth so I'll be looking for this at a nearby store...never even knew they existed.
Can you do a waterpik review? I'm thinking of asking for one as a christmas present. I assume you must need an update on that philips by now :)
Excellent demo on point didn’t waffle Thankyou
So...? What's the verdict then bossman... Would you recommend..? Isit any good?
I am a dental professional. I highly recommended NOT to buy this product due to its BAD battery.
After 4 handheld replacements, last one only lasted 2 times used
The patient handheld lasted longer 3-4 months. I asked if they find out what was wrong with the product, but they say they wouldn't know because they are sent back to ware house and tossed. Not the first time using sonicare. But certainly will be the last time considering product and customer service. Waste of my time.
Is this airfloss equally efficient as regular floss?
Regular flossing is more effective for sure. But this is definitely a good adjunctive product. If you've had trouble with flossing, try Oral-B Glide. Best floss on the market.
I don't know why, but something about all of your reviews is just SO much better than other people's!
Hello Techmoan, after nearly 4 years of using it, what are your thoughts?
azdoors az I stopped using it because I'm lazy.
+Techmoan You're disgusting. Gro$$ You men should have a clean mouth too, just a sign of your general hygiene.. Oink!
+Techmoan Just get back in the habit of using floss. I floss every second day, brush twice daily, and my dentist always oohs and ahs over my teeth when I get my 6-monthly check done.
+FL1173 You disgust me
@OzzieBloke
Isn't he pissed off cause you are a shitty customer? Here they even invent shit to justify drilling your teeth to make $$$.
Soooooooooooooo... would you recommend it or what?
what if you use vodka?
i see it's so strong it blew one of your teeth out
Hahahaha
It is adjustable according to what end you have on it Slobodan. I like the song pulse and it takes all the rubbish that the brush misses out of your teeth :)
Since when did James May from Top Gear start doing oral hygiene product reviews?
The indicator at the bottom with 3 little lights tells you how many shot. Push and select from one to three :)
Thanks for the review... question is, how well does it work?
It seems like it would hurt for people with sensitive gums.
Thanks for the review! I'm hoping someone will have a price cut after the holidays
Is this product any good
That's a bit of a rip-off. In Australia, all electronic goods must come with 12 months store warranty, where the customer can choose replacement, repair or refund if the device fails within the 12 months. Often things come with an extended manufacturer's warranty that only covers repair or replacement, but that's in addition to the statutory 12 months warranty.
Question is whether people with sensitive teeth could actually stand the high pressured shots, or water flossers in general
I'm not an expert or anything and I have no clue of medicin but I think high pressure water shouldnt cause any damage, and the philips waterpick uses more air than water, thats why it gets 60 shots so u wont have any problem
DON'T BUY THIS! Mine was faulty! And Philips, having initially
promised to give full refund of £99, later changed their minds and have
offered me first £75 and later just £25. Their reason was initially
because I had used it!
How would I have known it was faulty if I hadn't tried to use it ?!!
I am disabled and thought this would help me keep my teeth clean, but it just caused pain and bleeding. The pressure is much too great. I stopped gave it a couple of days and tried again - same pain and bleeding. After 3rd time of trying I gave up.
Water pressure MUCH too great ! (other brands have variable control)
I do not have gum disease. I have flossed regularly for 40 years and my dentist tells me how well I keep my teeth clean.
I was told to send it back.
I explained that the second fault was that I could no disconnect the attachment head so would be unable to get it back into the packaging. Finally very understanding woman called Anna Bloom asked me to just pack it up best I could and that I would get full refund.
I did this as asked.
After they had received it, a different and much less understanding person told me that he would only offer me £75. I explained I had had a very full interrogation by his colleague and the decision reached. He ignored that. He was quite rude.
He also told me it's ok to sell a product which makes perfectly healthy gums bleed !
He also told me it's ok to sell a product which makes perfectly healthy gums bleed !
Even a nurse has to have special extra training etc to break the skin of a patient
- causing (healthy) people to bleed is WRONG!
Later another customer service worker offered me just £25 - they now say this is because it is out of warranty.
New excuse not to do the right thing.
This understanding woman, Anna Bloom, has NOW DISAPPEARED from the company. I am worried for her. I am worried that she has been sacked for what she told/promised me. They just said she is no longer employed by them.
I also want my money back as they have the faulty airfloss.
Massive corporation Philips disgust me - DON'T BUY THIS!
@@Nigel1502 you definitely got anna bloom fired, you heartless monster. 👹
I was thinking of getting one that but many people say that it might hurt the sensitive gums and also that product is very expensive in japan and it cost like ¥10,800.
Cool, might use something like this to terrorise the mice in the office.
o btw i'd like a review on those chinese handheld portable scanners such as the handyscan (red buttons) starting @ £32 on ebay, the easyscan ( grey with round button) or skypix (black and grey) , both starting @£37
(they seem pretty much the same ones they're selling on american shopping channels as the "magic wand" hand scanner, check on yt for the ads)
they all have the same specs and claims, and i'm really interested in getting one , bot wondering how well they work ...
thanks in advance
This product has terrible reviews on its reliability on Amazon.. unfounded?
@techmoan: did you ever figure out a good way to clean yours? I can't disassemble mine enough, and no matter how much I try, mold still grows inside even after extensive cleaning and air drying. Maybe it's a manufacturing error?
Very well demonstrated! @techmoan ! thank you!!
BUT do either of them remove plaque between teeth and under the gum line. Water will remove debris but it won't remove sticky plaque. Will this device? To me that is the question regardless of the bloomin' plug!
Can I put soda with water?
Interesting. I just might purchase one
Your reviews are so interesting even although I'm never going to be able to jusitfy spending £50 on an electroinc flossing machine I loved it anyway
james may?? is that.. is that u??
omg you sound like James May
Is there an air canister? For the jet of air and water. Cost to change if one.
Thanks
heard these things aren't really reliable unfortunately
@Techmoan oh well ,twas worth a shot,
thanks anyway,
still looking forward to new reviews as you are one of the best and most unbiased teviewers on youtube :)
so yeah, keep it up (als long as yer budget allows it, ...)
I brought 2 waterpucks I dropped and smashed both so I need another lol. I want one even more powerful.
The air flosser you have in the beginning of the video, what kind is that and where can one buy it?
But can you use it as a webcam?
okay an unrelated question.... why is your hot water is on the right side, where standard regulation says hot water tap is always on the left side?
There didn't use to be regulation. Our hot water is on the right - our neighbors is on the left. The street was built at the sametime.
I cringed when I saw the tooth missing on the billy bob teeth. Nice review
have you done a teardown yet ?
I had it couple years and it is really efficient but flosser is broken and I need the part couldn't find it.
Super video
Among Philips employees?
I also have braces, so it should work fine.
do a review on your breitling wristwatch please
Why do you say that you are a dental professional and anly give comment on the customer service? Not how it is working for you?
this hurts... made by gums bleed ans sumtimes felt like it was almost knocking my teeth out :(
your gums probably were bleeding cause there was an infection in the gums. i never used it but bleeding normally means infection. you should visit a dentist to have that checked especially if your gums bleed after you use regular floss every night. Healthy gums don't bleed
bewilderedangel your gums are infected dude

you seem like a gem
Nice watch
Can you use this with braces on your teeth?
Is it suitable for people with braces?
Get a shower pick, no electricity, endless water, easy.
more than just simply brushing your teeth my good sir :)
Good review cheers
do you use a sonicare or oral b? toothbrush
Mine's lasted one go took ages on phone and sending replacement that will prob last two weeks do be buy them
I am on my third one. They don't work for more than a couple of months. Then I have to buy a new one.
Mohamed Ismail they have a warranty y'know...
I wonder why yours keep breaking mine has lasted for ages and still charges too the full
I live in Africa. The only thing you are guaranteed there is tgat there is nobody to honour the warranty.
that's a shame because they are not cheap and when right they work, they work very well.
advertisement. You didn't tell, that the recharge-battery can't be changed. Philips wants you to buy a new Airfloss. Not very good for our environment!
Its look like from 1990
Cool device, but it's not as good as regular floss for certain things like corn or meat.
Nice watch btw! Breitling ftw.
50£ for that?
Would you do a review on some of the fake beats by dr dre on dealextreme? I dont know if your into that sort of thing, but you give a good review and id like to here your opinion on them if you have the time and money, thanks
JAMES MAY WHAT ARE YOU DOING REVIEWING FLOSS REVIEW YOUR CARS
Never got it to work for me
is it good for braces?
I just bought one, haven't used it yet but it looks fantastic!
Charlie M , what about now ? did u used it ? What is your opinion ?
Károly Holczhauser, I absolutely LOVE this, it works really well, and if you were looking to buy one, I would highly recommend it. I have great faith in Philips products :-)
ILL JUST STICK 2 good OL REGULAR FLOSS NOT SPENDING $70-80 ON DAT I AINT A BALLA
