Philips Sonicare AirFloss Interdental - Rechargeable HX8211/02 w/ 1 nozzle is rated 4.1 out of 5 by 359.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Does a very good job Performs great, but can’t work out how the burst mode works, not even shown in the current instructions....also the battery charging is not as good as it could be.....the charge light is meant to flash while charging then stay constant once charged.....but after only 8 months the light stopped flashing and charging went down to almost nothing, changed charge bases but made no difference being pretended under guarantee for a replacement So keep an eye on the charge light, if it stops flashing it needs returning tomohilips The nozzles can be cleaned very hygenically by soaking in vinegar for a few days, sterilises and removes and calcium If the nozzle breaks in the holder use a small screw into the broken part and pull hard

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Exellent product I was having mixed thoughts about Sonicare AirFloss, if it really will be working or not, but after using it for 2 weeks, I would definitely say that it is worth the money!!! I was flossing from time to time, before I have started to use Sonicare AirFloss, but I could feel that it was not enough. I don’t know, maybe it was me, but I have not seen any improvements on my teeth. Now I can feel and see the improvements between the teeth and along the gums. And I am saving the time as well!!! The Philips Sonicare Airfloss needs to be charged 24 hours before you can use it first time - and as I can see, after using it for 2 weeks is still charged!!! All you need to do is to fill the reservoir with mouthwash or water and start to floss!!! The unit is easy enough to use, position, point and press. And it takes only 30 seconds!!! I am using it daily: morning and before bedtime. I have already recommended the Philips Sonic Airfloss to my family and friends!!

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Not a bad product, could be better though. I usually use interdental brushes but saw this Philips Sonicare AirFloss Rechargeable Power Flosser and thought it might replace them. It comes with a two pin plug but as I already have an adapter for my various shavers/trimmers I could just plug it in to charge straight away. I did find that the charging base was quite small for the size of the flosser and so I had to ensure it didn’t fall over whilst charging. The item as a whole wasn’t too bulky or awkward for me but I did think the water reservoir was a little on the small side and the water seemed to run out very quickly. It came with two nozzles but they only come in one size so it’s a one size fits all product. Maybe the introduction of different size nozzles would be a benefit in the future. It wasn’t as powerful as I was expecting and I still feel the need to floss but I will keep it as an addition to my dental routine as I do feel that I get that extra clean.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My teeth feel so clean. I have been using the air flosser every day and I am currently wearing braces. Every time I see the dentist he advises that I should see the oral hygienist as I always have a build up of plaque. Since using the air flosser and seeing my dentist I have had very minimal plaque. My teeth feel so clean and my dentist is happy with the reduction of plaque build up which has been achieved from using the air flosser. The air floss is easy to use compared to a manual flossing system. With a manual flossing system I would become lazy but with the air floss I do not feel this is a chore. I much prefer the electronic system, which is easy to use and leaves my teeth feeling clean. The air floss is easy and convenient to use in comparison to a manual system. The air floss leaves my teeth feeling thoroughly clean and has improved the overall health of my teeth in a short space of using the product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I love the Philips Airfloss !!! I love, love, love the Airfloss, its very easy to use even with the arthritis i have in my right arm, its just the right weight and size to grip with ease. The feeling of the air shooting between the teeth is very refreshing, and after a few days you can visibility see the teeth become cleaner. Whereas before i could not see the minute gaps between my teeth now i can, which proves it actually does get rid of the plaque between the teeth. I particular liked how i could control the speed of the air and pace at which i cleaned. Over the summer i experienced excruciating pain due to having gum infections, and i always experienced bleeding gums, this has now stopped since starting to use the Airfloss system. Thank you Philips, i feel like i have had an early Christmas present, it allows cleaning between teeth minus irritation/bleeding, its very quick and easy to use.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Does the work, but I'm on my third Airfloss in four years There is no doubt that this product does what it says on the box. My teeth feel much cleaner after using it. Even my dentist has told me that my teeth are in a much better state. However, I'm now on my third AirFloss in four years because the others all stopped working just after the guarantee run out. I'd done everything by the book, such as cleaning and using it properly. I've now purchased one from a supplier that offered an extra two years guarantee, so if this one stops working, I'll be able to claim through their guarantee.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Faulty activation switch After one month's use, a problem appeared. The power button could be turned on but if I tried to use the activation button, the power would immediately die and the power light would go out. The machine is now completely dead. You now have to place it within the charger (one second will suffice) and this will get it going again. After about one week the problem resolved itself, until 9 months later when it has reappeared. So I have taken it back to the supplier and exchanged it for a new one. Hope this does better.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Simple, easy to use and effective. Leaves your teeth feeling clean. Initially surprised how easy and simple this product is to use. Because of this it is easy to fit into your everyday teeth cleaning schedule. Product design, as always is in-keeping with Philips and will not look out of place alongside any other bathroom products. It is easy to fill and more importantly to clean. Using the product is easy, no fuss. Simply place the head between the gaps of your teeth and depress the main button. As expected, the first use was a little odd, not knowing what was going to happen, or how it was going to feel. However, this was minimal and did not put you off from using the product at all. The only negative comments I could make would be regarding the operation sound. It is perhaps a little loud, probably sounds louder than it actually is due to its proximity to your ears when using. It does sound very mechanical.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from effective product I have used the air flosser for a couple of weeks now and it is a much better alternative to manual flossing with string. The air flosser has an uncanny resemblance to an electric brush. It charges also in the same way and it is comfortable to use. You fill it with mouthwash and then hold the nozzle heads to the inbetween areas of your teeth where plaque usually builds up. You squirt the mouthwash into these areas. The squirting pressure is really good and quite powerful. I find it effective in cleaning my teeth. Since using this, my oral hygiene has definitely seen a large improvement. My breath smalls fresher, my teeth feel cleaner and my gums aren't prone to bleeding just as easily. The only downside is that there is not much room for movement in the nozzle/head and some areas in the mouth are hard to reach as a result.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sonicare AirFlosser - Pink This was my first time using an Air Flosser so i wasn’t sure what to expect at first from the Sonicare AirFloss power Flosser and was a little nervous. I’ve always struggled to floss my teeth, as my teeth are very close together with small gaps making it very hard for me to floss. So i was very interested in finding out what the AirFlosser could do for me. Firstly i found it so easy to use and once i’d got the hang of using the flosser it was so quick to use. I have a few sensitive teeth so found the flosser a little powerful for them when filling with cold water but discovered it was much more comfortable to use when filling with mouthwash. I am loving the results and can easily floss those hard to clean areas now and i am already seeing and feeling the difference in my teeth, great results and so much easier.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Painful at first but stick with it! I've been using this for over six months now. At first it makes your gums bleed, but after a while you/your gums get used to it. My advice is hold the nozzle just a little way down your teeth until you get used to it. You'll be amazed even when your teeth feel clean how much is hiding between your teeth! The part number you need for replacement nozzles is HX8013 :)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy to use, time saving and improving oral health! Sceptical as I was, I lreally like it! I have used string floss for years I did not think Id be convinced with the air flosser. Using string floss is definitely time consuming and to be honest I couldn't always be bothered doing it. Also, I have a little metal brace type item in behind my bottom teeth and so sometimes the string would break off and get stuck causing agitation and discomfort. I gave the flosser a go. It looked quite like an electric toothbrush and is a similar size to the average one. There is an opening which you fill up with mouth wash. Two heads are provided with it and they just push on and pull off. There is one button to press which activates the spray function. Upon holding the tip of the head inbetween my teeth and pressing onto the button it activated a powerful jet spray. I was taken back by the power of the spray. It sprayed directly with just a small amount of spray. Simple to work and to be honest it worked efficiently and well on the teeth I could reach. The pointed edge fits pretty well into grooves in the teeth which makes it more effective. My one problem is that I had difficulty cleaning the backs/insides of my teeth though.Perhaps a suggestion would be that an item with a looped head for the back of teeth and the ordinary head for the front of the teeth would solve this issue easily. I have had issues with bleeding gums for years and I do believe that this air floss has somewhat helped them and of course it keeps my breath much fresher! I found this much less time consuming than manual string flossing and I didnt need to worry about bits of string catching on the metal plate on my teeth. Easy to fill up when the mouthwash has finished because it wont squirt and also you can see the mouth wash level in the clear window. Once the battery has been used up, you can place on the charger and charge it up for the next day. Obviously I have had this item just two weeks so I can not comment on its durability.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Really great product to improve your oral hygiene! I'd been interested in these types of product for a while and I'm really glad I tried it! I've used Sonicare brushes for many years and I've always found them excellent. This product is no different! The sensation of flossing using pressure rather than a standard floss stick or tape is quite different and surprising to begin with but you quickly become accustomed to it. First use I found that the unit was quite powerful and did manage to effectively floss between my teeth. I would recommend using it with mouthwash for an extra fresh feeling, just make sure you have fully inserted the head into body of the unit or you will spray mouthwash in unexpected directions! I have noticed a definite improvement using this product, especially noticing the clean feeling lasting longer through the day!

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Great performance but not very reliable This is a great product for someone like me who cannot get floss between my teeth as they are too closely packed! I am amazed at the amount of particles of food it clears from between my teeth. My only concern is the reliability of the product. This is the third one I have had. the first one packed up after a few weeks and would no longer switch on. The second one lasted 6 months when It became difficult to switch on and when finished it did not switch off automatically. When I switched it off, some time later it would switch itself on without any human intervention. That would discharge the battery so it would not work. I have just taken delivery of my third, from Boots, who replaced both without question, we will see if this one lasts for any length of time. Shame a good product has reliability issues

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Works well, does the job This is the second set (bought as package with 5100 protective clean electric toothbrush) I have bought this week. I was very impressed with the performance of the air floss and have had previously bought Phillips electric toothbrushes so purchased one set for myself and one for my son. Both perform very well and give good results.
