Philips Sonicare Cordless Power Flosser 3000 Oral Irrigator - Water Flosser for Teeth, Gums and Dental Care, Black (Model HX3826/33)

Very effective for bleeding gums. I have had countless dental visits and floss using regular floss three times a week, yet have bleeding gums for a year and a half. This was the only thing that stopped it for me. It cleans plaque so well and the pressure isn’t as high as some other brands which can be too strong. Highly recommend and worth the money.

Bought this product in Feb and stopped working in Sep, so broken after only 7 months of 2-3 times daily use. I think it is an electrical issue, it would start by itself and then not at all when pressing the power button. Also hard to tell if it was taking a charge or not. I’m not convinced it is as waterproof as it should be. I will buy again as I have adult braces and it is great at removing food from being lodged in your brackets.

Did find find easy to use.

Comes with a plug (2 pin) not suitable for Ireland. Purchasing on Amazon.ie you would expect the correct plug to be included. Very disappointing.

I got this product and it stopped working in less than a month. And i tried contacting the costumer service. They were very rude and unhelpful at all. Dont not buy !

I originally tried the Waterpik Advanced but didn’t find it powerful enough and the water reservoir needed topping up 2-3 times during a flossing session. Then I tried the Panasonic EW1411 which was better but it was flawed because when charging you have absolutely no idea when it was fully charged and also the nozzle was so loose it rotated while using it I was fortunate to get this Philips flosser from Amazon Warehouse. It was however brand new This Philips flosser is so much better than the others. It uses a USB C connector to charge it and the charge lights let you know when it’s fully charged Also this has the largest water reservoir of any of the cordless models available and lasts very well when completing a flossing session, no need to top up half way through The power is absolutely enough and I prefer using the Quad nozzle instead of the single jet one At last I’ve found a water flosser that I can get on with and it does a great job of cleaning properly between my teeth I would highly recommend this flosser over the competition and as it’s manufactured by a well known company hopefully it will also be reliable and long lived UPDATE: The on/off switch has been troublesome so returned it. I now have the Panasonic EW-DJ40 which is very powerful and a great design. Also the Panasonic is priced at a bargain compared to the others I tried. I think this Philips is actually overpriced for what you get

This is a massive upgrade from string floss for my gum health. It cleans effectively and holds enough water for a full session, though the physical design has a minor hygiene trap you need to watch out for. Pros: Effective Quad Stream tip: I’ve stuck with the included "Quad Stream" nozzle and found it does an excellent job pushing water between tight teeth. It feels much less harmful to my gums than traditional floss. One tank is enough: The 250ml reservoir holds a decent amount of water. In practice, I find I can get a full clean done on a single fill without needing to stop and top it up. Convenient USB-C charging: A major practical plus is the USB-C port. Instead of being tethered to a shaver socket in the bathroom, I can just use the phone cables I already have on my bedside table. Cons: Hygiene trap in the seam: There is a thin seam where the top of the unit (the nozzle attachment point) meets the main body. Water tends to sit in this gap, and I’ve noticed it turning mouldy/dirty over time if not scrubbed out. Button placement: Depending on how you hold the unit, your thumb might naturally hover over the controls. I sometimes accidentally knock the power button mid-floss, which restarts the program. I bought this primarily because I wanted a more convenient alternative to string floss that wouldn't irritate my gums. In terms of performance, it has been excellent. The device is generally easy to hold and manoeuvre around the mouth, and the pressure is strong enough to clear debris from tight gaps without causing bleeding. However, living with it for a while revealed a couple of design oversights. While the handle is comfortable, the button placement means I occasionally reset the device while trying to reach back teeth. More annoyingly, the build-up of grime in the top seam is a bit of a pain; you have to keep an eye on it to stop it from getting gross. If you find string flossing a chore or too harsh on your gums, this is a fantastic alternative that fits easily into a modern routine (especially thanks to USB-C charging). Just be prepared to give the top seam a scrub now and then to keep it clean.

Regular floss just doesn't work for me - threads get caught, it feels fiddly, and I’d usually skip it. This Philips oral irrigator changed that. It doesn’t snag, is dead easy to use, and somehow turns what used to be a chore into something I actually stick with. For me, it’s the difference between flossing or not. The device itself feels solid and well-built. The water reservoir is generous enough to do all my teeth in one go, and the range of power settings and modes gives me control depending on how thorough I want to be. I also like that it comes with two different heads - I can pick the one that suits how I’m feeling that day. Battery life has been excellent; after a year of use, I’ve only needed to charge it a couple of times, which keeps the routine low maintenance. I feel like my teeth are noticeably cleaner now, and it's especially useful for those times where you get something stuck in your teeth. Overall, it’s done exactly what I needed it to: replaced a frustrating part of my dental care with something reliable and simple to keep up. In this sense, and the fact it’s the most reliable water flosser I’ve had thus far, the value for money has been very good.
