Very easy to use and convenient.
Very useful for after-meal flossing. Nice and quick and makes your mouth and teeth feel really clean.

Does what it says on the box.
Well designed, easy to use and battery life seems very good.

Worked fine but unreliable and shortlived
Firstly the model ref on the box is HX8181/02, which this site does not recognise. Purchased from my dentist on 27 November 2012 and lasted just 2 weeks. The body filled up with water and there is nasty sealant in the reservoir. I did use mouthwash. Don't know the chemical content. I see Philips response to comments is that washes containing Isopropyl Myristate should not be used. So why have they not bothered to put this in the manual? Anyway, from the number of comments here reporting the units failing I will not bother to get a replacement and will go back for a refund and go for another make. Philips keep saying that we have the security of a 2 year warranty. What use is that if the units keep failing beyond this time. Also there is the prospect of forever having to pack the things up and queue up at the post office to pay to return them.

Dissapointed
I have used Philips Sonic toothbrushes for years & love them especially the one with White mode, I am about to purchase another as the one I have is making a funny noise, I do use toothbrushes several times a day so don't expect them to last forever.
However I was disappointed in the Air Floss as I thought it was to
be used instead of flossing, but after 5 days of use my gums were bleeding so had to resort to flossing.
This maybe because I have 4 veneers & a double bridge at back & may not affect other people.
I have sent the Airfloss back & am waiting for a refund.

Great when it works
I love my air floss when it works. But I have now had two air flosses in two years, both of which have failed in about a twelve month period. At the price paid you would expect greater service, especially from a Philips product. I can’t afford to replace on an annual basis so that’s me back to teepee brushes and regular floss :(

Not well designed
I started using this air floss two weeks ago, I was quite excited initially, soon I realised it is not a well designed product. The mouthwash container is not well sealed, once I turned on the power, the liquid just can't help splashing out, I can only use it end of the day before the shower. I am disappointed in a way, this is certainly not a product up to my expectation.

This product served me well for almost 5 years
This product was used daily for nearly five years, and gave good service. Eventually there were problems with switching it on - the button was pressed but no light came on. This was overcome by connecting and switching on the charger momentarily - the light on the product then came on - but after a further period (about three months) this did not happen, so a replacement product (Model HX8212/02) was purchased. Also problems after prolonged use with the nozzle not being a tight fit in the handle, so loss of spray pressure.

Could be brilliant!
I bought one of these from my local dentist after a recommendation from my hygienist. My wife thought the reservoir was too small; but I thought the whole process of airflossing was absolutely brilliant ..... for a week!
Then it packed up completely and wouldn't work again. After making some initial enquiries, it transpires that although it says it can be used with mouthwash; it seems some mouthwashes contain some unpronouncable ingredients that will corrode the motor, pump and inner workings.
This is obviously what has happened to mine - and I don't recall reading the warning that explains all this to you!
If this 'glitsch' can be fixed, it has the potential to be an excellent product.
