Lacks significant power compared to standard AirFloss
Purchased to replace my old standard AirFloss that had failing battery life and assumed this 'Pro' model would be an upgrade - but it isn't!
I guess for those people who are not looking for a powerful squirt of water/air the 'Pro' model will do a satisfactory job but I suffer with food impaction between several teeth and even flossing doesn't always remove this effectively.
My old AirFloss worked brilliantly and always ensured there was no remaining food particles between my teeth. However, the 'Pro' model, although providing the option of up to 3 'shots' per press of the button, is nowhere near as powerful and since I started using it has consistently failed to clean properly between my teeth.
I've now had to purchase another standard AirFloss as the 'Pro' model does not work for me.

Does the job I need it to
I always hated flossing trying to get that fiddly bit of string between your teeth, so I gave up flossing. This product is brilliant I can now floss with ease. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone.

Brilliant disappointment
When this works, as mine has since September 2017, it is utterly brilliant. However, this morning, after merely 8 months use, it refuses to spray any longer. I have only used designated mouthwash in it. The wonderful Philips customer care team have sent me return reply paid postage to send the handle back and I will be returning it over the weekend. However, reading many other reviews here, this is a KNOWN DEFECT, over several years. Why hasn't the product development team redesigned the fault out of it yet? Philips must be losing a fortune due to this product!!!

When it works
The actual product number is HX8430 and this is the sixth replacement for our original product bought in 2016. Works well when it does but stops without warning.

Dubious, but I'm converted
I wasn't sure when my dentist suggested I look at an air flosser, especially at the recommended price. This product is well designed, is really simple to use and works really well at just cleaning out the gaps between the teeth.
I'm sure my gums and teeth are healthier and cleaner with a very simple and quick addition to my cleaning routine. It makes almost more time to attach the nozzle, fill the little reservoir (I use mouthwash but water works fine) and turn the machine on, than it actually does to floss all the little gaps. Three powerful sprays clear any remaining yuch and move on to the next gap.
I purchased mine from Amazon warehouse as an opened box item, so didn't pay full price, I'd recommend this product.

Good but not great
My WaterPik having given up the ghost I bought an AirFloss Pro. Also I was encouraged by a comment from a lady who said that her partner found it good for cleaning between his large gapped teeth. However, I have three gaps that regularly become blocked, particularly with stringy vegetable debris. I find that the Flosser does not remove that and I thus have to resort to using Dental Floss. The Flosser certainly does a good job removing small debris from between the teeth.
Furthermore there is an "ergonomic" design fault. It is unsteady and is easily knocked over. In addition changing the heads for changing users is made difficult by having a too firm a grip by the socket.

Great design and ease of use
Love this plaque remover, so much easier to use and much less painful then using dental floss. Also much quicker and more efficient. Didn’t like the included mouthwash I found it quiet harsh on my mouth. Also even after rinsing the liquid reservoir and multiple uses I can still taste the mouthwash. Would not go back to ordinary floss after using this device, I believe it’s having a positive affect on my dental hygiene. I only hope my dentist will confirm this on my next appointment.

AirFlossPro is easy to use and very effective.
My dentist recommended that I purchase an interdental cleaner because of food sticking between my teeth and causing problems with my gums with some bleeding. I knew nothing about these items but selected the Philips AirFloss Pro model HX8372/51 because it looked like it had a good range of features and being concerned about my gums I wanted the best item to solve my problem. The AirFloss Pro has been very easy to use and is extremely effective dislodging particles of food from in between my teeth that brushing and using cord floss has not reached. I have only used the AirFloss Pro for 12 days at the time of writing this review but already my oral health has improved. I thoroughly recommend this product.

Fantastic, so long as it works.
I'm on my third one of these. My first one packed up after about 3 weeks. It was replaced under warranty, but the second one lasted about a month. The trouble is, they are so good whilst they are working that I decided to try one more. So far this one hasn't packed up. If they were reliable, I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Great product
Could not use the usual flosses. Saw this on the Philips site and sent for it. Take a short while to get use to it but it’s a great product, teeth feel better and cleaner and would recommend it. I also sent for the charging station and that to was well worth it.

Returned for refund
This was recommended by my hygienist as an alternative to flossing. It seemed to be a very good product at first, being easy to use and leaving my mouth feeling fresh and clean, however this did not last. The machine began playing up after only a few days and completely failed after one week. I would normally have thought this was due to a "rogue" unit and would have returned it for replacement but due to the amount of bad reviews on this and other sites, I returned it for a refund. A potentially good product but let down by poor quality control (or a possible design flaw).

Phillips Sonicare Keeps Failing
This is an excellent piece of equipment to do the job but it keeps failing. I have just purchased my third one. The first one failed to pump after about 3 months. The second one failed after about 9 months battery charged a little but then started operating on its own on the charger and would not stop - then could not re charge it. There appears to be a fundamental design fault as I have read other similar reviews. I am glad that I could change it under warrantee. They don't seem to get past one year of use.

Terrible product
This now there 5th replacement that I have had in less than 2 years. Brilliant product when it's working but doesn't take long before it begins to die and eventually unable to pump the water/mouth wash.
