Water flossers are an essential dental hygiene tool for many — and Waterpik is one of the most recognizable names in the game. The brand’s American Dental Association-approved tools are beloved by reviewers for their powerful plaque-busting abilities but the larger countertop models can take up more space, making them inconvenient for smaller bathrooms and unfeasible for traveling.
The portable Waterpik flosser has a solid 4.2-star rating on Amazon and over 15,000 reviewers give the device five stars.
Like all Waterpiks, this one is designed to banish 99.99% percent of plaque bacteria from your — ahem — pearly whites with an effectiveness rate double that of dental floss.
It comes with four interchangeable tips that have a 360-degree rotation for reaching all the nooks and crannies and a 7-ounce removable water reservoir that’s also top-rack dishwasher-safe. The device also provides up to 45 seconds of continuous cleaning and has a battery life that lasts four entire weeks. (Don’t you wish our cell phones could do that? Sigh.)
The higher-capacity battery life will power the device for a maximum of 36 minutes. It also has global voltage compatibility and a compact 3-inch footprint, so you can whisk it in into your suitcase on your next trip without a second thought (as many of the reviewers below have done).
“I absolutely love this Waterpik! It makes my mouth feel so clean, like I just left the dentist. It’s very easy to use, and the cordless design is super convenient, especially if you don’t have a lot of space. The pressure is strong but adjustable, which is great for sensitive gums.
At first it can be a little messy, but once you get used to it, it’s quick and effective. It removes food and plaque way better than regular floss (in my opinion). I’ve also noticed my gums feel healthier and less sensitive.
Definitely worth it if you want to upgrade your oral care routine. I highly recommend it!” — Melissa Florestal“I’ve been using Waterpik for a while, so I already knew what to expect, and overall I really like this one. It’s super convenient because it’s cordless, easy to hold, and doesn’t take up much space in the bathroom.
The pressure is strong enough to clean really well, especially between teeth and around the gums. After using it, my mouth actually feels cleaner compared to regular floss.
The only thing is that the water tank is a bit small, so you might need to refill it if you want a longer session. Also, it can get a little messy at first until you get used to it.
But overall, I’m happy with it and would recommend, especially if you want something portable and easy to use.” — Clarence Thistle“My dentist persuaded me to grab a Waterpik after some recent bridgework, so I found myself in the market for a water flosser. This model’s outward design appealed to me, as did its designed portability. Upon first use, I was impressed, though I’d never used a water flosser, before, and learned there are a couple of things to take into consideration using a water flosser, such as making sure you have the nozzle completely in your closed mouth and that you’ve filled its reservoir with tepid to warm water, as anything colder might shock your teeth. It’s the perfect size and weight for self-contained unit and comes with a magnetic charger that gets the job done rather quickly, I think, anyway. First use made my gums bleed a little; you may have the same experience if your gums are as shoddy as mine. Performs quite well, blasting food particles from your gumline and the areas between your teeth. Water reservoir is just big-enough to complete a single whole-mouth session. Comes with a travel bag and an assortment of nozzles. I’m telling anyone who’ll listen that, if they’re looking for a new water flosser ― especially a Waterpik-branded one ― this is the model to get!” — Todd Camack
“This product is magnificent! It cleans every nook and cranny of your teeth with tremendous pressure, blasting away all the dirt and grime. 🥰🥰🥰” — Tay
