Waterpik Wp-560 Cordless Advanced Water Flosser, Pearly White

Product Information

A: Though even water alone is enough for efficient flossing, you are free to use some dental cleaning agents with Waterpik oral irrigators. You can add chlorhexidine or some mouthwashes like Listerine containing essential oils. Yet, refrain from using pure essential oils or whitening dilutions that could destroy the device. Another useful extra is the ‘plug’. This plastic piece fits into the top of the flosser when you take it with you and helps prevent water from leaking out of the opening. Typical box contents of the Waterpik Advanced Basically, all water flossers can be divided into 3 groups – Countertop, Cordless and Combo. Each type has several models. Some are older and less expensive, but still do the work well. And some are newer and have advanced features for removal of the plaque from the teeth and under the gums. Do you need to floss if you use a Waterpik? No, water flossing completely replaces the use of dental floss.

Many dentists and other dental professionals agree that, compared to manual, electrical toothbrushes are better for your teeth in general. Electrical toothbrushes are better for your gums also and can reach more teeth areas than manual toothbrushes. Good device for traveling: A cordless water flosser is obviously more convenient than a countertop water flosser while traveling. Although it's a bit large for a weekend bag, it will fit in your holiday baggage. When the flosser is turned on, the pump takes the water out of the reservoir and feeds it into the user's mouth through a tube at the top of the flosser. It uses a strong water jet to drive plaque and germs away from the teeth and gums. For many people, flossing with a stream of water is smoother, less abrasive, and more comfortable, and helpful if you have periodontal disease. Waterproof: The electrical components are completely isolated, and it is safe to use in the shower. This might save you some time in the morning and is something that a countertop model cannot accomplish.Acceptance and approved by the Oral Health Foundation.

The company undertakes lots of clinical testing to verify the performance and suitability of its products. Magnetic power cable: The power cable attaches magnetically to the device and charges it in 4 hours; an LED battery light indicates when it's time to recharge. if this is your first Waterpik it may take some time to get used to it. We would advise to gradually select higher power settings until you get that sweet spot for thoroughly and comfortably cleaning your teeth. The USB type A cable at the other end of the cable allows the Advanced to be charged from other USB power sources such as a computer or battery bank. No 2 pin to USB adapter is provided.

The water pressure is the only criticism you may have in this aspect. There are three pressure settings on the Cordless Advanced (low, medium & high). It achieves a maximum pressure of 75 PSI, similar to other cordless Waterpik versions, whereas most recent countertop variants reach up to 100 PSI. A large number of Waterpik models exist on the market and that can really confuse someone. You want to choose the best water jet based on your needs, but you are not sure how? How are you going to choose just the right one for you with all the features that you need? Like with other portable water flossers you will have to fill up water tank twice during flossing. One charge is enough for one jaw. That is about 30 seconds of flossing. The cordless Waterpik water flosser is better than a countertop water flosser if you are looking for a portable, waterproof device. However, the reservoir is smaller and has lower water pressure. Can the cordless Waterpik be used in the shower?

We believe that a quality product in this price range should come with a battery charger without these flaws. With modern-day technology, there should be a method to have the charger switch off automatically when the battery is full, eliminating the risk of overcharging. Additional features – ★★★★☆ (4/5 stars) Unique feature of Cordless Advanced is it’s charging system. Inductive magnetic charger will charge the WP-560 in 4 hours. Compared to other models this is two times faster as average charging time for similar models is about 8 hours.

The most useful extra is the soft, drawstring pouch case. Basic but functional, it allows you to keep items together and gives a bit of protection when on the go. Noise that WP-560 emits is relatively quiet compared to other models and that is a nice bonus for this more on the higher end water flosser. strongest power settings are almost never needed and you can be sure you will get your moneys worth power-wise when purchasing WP-100 What has remained of the solution let it run through your water flosser.

This isn't a huge issue, but having to do it every day may get tedious. Petroleum-based plastics are used, rather than plant-based, thus using more of the planet’s finite resources. USB power cables are becoming more commonplace, with the type-c connector on the Sonicare Cordless Power Flosser 3000 being one of the best options today. This does mean having to deal with sometimes fiddly port covers, though. Furthermore, the device comes with a built-in rechargeable battery which provides about 7 days of usage after following a full charge, according to a one minute clean every day. The battery power attains complete cost in just 4 hours using the magnetic charging cable.

When it comes to Waterpik flossers, they all utilise a pressurised water jet with pulsation technology.

You must actively care for it, otherwise, since the battery is not replaceable, you will be forced to dispose of your device sooner than expected.

The only criticism you might make of the unit's design is that it is still a little bulky.
