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.

This is not USB C as advertised. It’s a figure of eight charger. Yet another cable to loose. I haven’t even been able to use it yet as I’m travelling and can’t charge it. I’ll have to fill the suitcase with wires the next time. I only buy USB C now for that reason as USB C is now the EU standard for the foreseeable future. Now I’m stuck with having to remember where I put a black wire. More clutter. I notice from reviews a year ago mentioning the same problem. This would indicate that the problem has simply been ignored. I like Philips stuff but now I have 3 different Philips devices with three different chargers. That can’t be a good thing for the environment either. It’s not a minor detail; it’s very annoying. My brand new machine is already obsolete. I wouldn’t have bought it had I known.

Advertised as being charged via USB-C cable, but the model I got had a figure-8 charging port, which means if you lose the lead, the product is useless.

I have been the Flosser 3000 for about 4–5 months, and it has become a regular part of my daily oral care routine. Overall, I have been pleased with its performance and ease of use. What I liked: * Delivers consistent water stream that helps clean. * The Quad Stream nozzle makes it quick to cover more areas compared with traditional flossing. * Comfortable cordless design that’s easy to hold and convenient for everyday use. * Good battery life, with only occasional charging needed. * The water reservoir is straightforward to remove, refill and clean. Drawback: After around 4–5 months of regular use, I noticed that the white seal around the nozzle opening on the top of the unit has become more visible (shown in my photo). I wasn’t expecting this part to change appearance after a few months of use.

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.

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.
