Best Waterpik Water Flossers in the UK

While the performance of premium countertop/combination water flossers is hard to beat, unfortunately, not all of them are fit for travelling purposes. Besides, most of them are so bulky that finding a place for them can be a real challenge, especially if you have a tiny bathroom. If this sounds familiar, we recommend considering the WP-560. What distinguishes this model from the rest is that it boasts the power and efficiency of a stationary device while being packed in a portable body of a cordless flosser.

On top of its compact dimensions, the WP-560 has many other standout features, making it an attractive choice. To start off, it's 100 % waterproof, which means it can be safely used in the shower. Also, it has a large water reservoir that can hold up to 200 ml of water. This gives you slightly less than one minute of constant powerful flossing. If you or someone from your family has sensitive gums, the unit offers three pressure settings ranging from medium to high, so you can choose the optimal intensity for your needs.

To further personalise your flossing session, the set includes four accessory tips. Two classic jet tips are designed for general use and make this model suitable for a couple. An orthodontic tip is perfect for cleaning around braces, while a plaque seeker is great for implants, crowns, bridges and retainers. All tips are 360-degree rotational, ensuring easy and efficient cleaning in the most hard-to-reach areas.

When it comes to oral hygiene, it's recommended that each family member uses their own toothbrush, although many electric toothbrushes come with interchangeable tips, so the use of one brush by the whole family is becoming more common. With regard to flossers, the story is quite different. Not only is it simply unnecessary to buy a personal water flosser for each family member, but you'll also very unlikely to find the place for three or four flossers on a shelf in your bathroom. Not that you will need to. Similar to toothbrushes, most Waterpik flossers come with interchangeable tips, which makes them suitable both for individual and for family use. The Aquarius WP-660 is that kind of flosser.

The Aquarius WP-660 is a countertop corded water flosser, which comes complete with a set of seven clinically proven flossing nozzles, including three colour-coded general use tips that can be used by several family members without confusion. Four remaining tips are specialised nozzles for different dental conditions. Thus, a plaque seeker with three tufts of bristles will be of great use for adults with dental implants, crowns, veneers and bridges. An orthodontic tip with a tapered brush will help you remove plaque from braces and flush out bacteria from under the gums. A Pik-pocket tip provides deep periodontal pockets cleaning. There is even a toothbrush tip that will let you manually brush your teeth as you floss. If you need additional or replacement tips for other family members, you can order them from the manufacturer at a really affordable price. Along with functional tips, the unit is distinguished by ten water pressure settings to select a more delicate flossing mode for kids or choose an optimal intensity for adults.

Fitted with a 650-ml water reservoir, the Aquarius will ensure over 90 seconds of continuous flossing. Meanwhile, a timer option will let you set the flossing time to 1 minute for an adult or 30 seconds for a small kid.

If you are looking for a cost-effective water flosser for teeth and gum care, consider this Waterpik model. Designed to take little storage and shelf place, it is a real find for travellers. Meanwhile, this portable unit has a dual pressure control system, allowing you to choose between a low (best for sensitive gum care) and a high (perfect for deep cleaning) pressure level. Note that if you are using the appliance for the first time, it is recommended to try the low setting first.

To make cleaning your oral cavity as easy and effective as possible, the manufacturer has included a set of interchangeable tip attachments. A classic jet tip will come in useful for cleaning below the gum line and deep between teeth. Clinically proven to be 3 times more effective compared to dental floss, an orthodontic tip will ensure hassle-free flossing around braces. Allowing you to remove bacteria from your tongue, a tongue cleaner attachment can help to prevent halitosis. Needless to say that the water flosser is also compatible with other Waterpik attachments that you can buy additionally.

The Waterpik WP-563UK cordless water flosser relies on its outstanding performance and sheer power to improve your oral health. The biggest selling point of this product is easily its highest pressure mode. Delivering about 1,250 water pulses per minute, the model thoroughly removes plaque and small food debris around your teeth and gum line and can outperform many other water flossers in terms of efficiency.

That being said, it doesn't mean it's too rough and won't be suitable for sensitive gums. Just like most of its competition, this model includes soft and pulse cleaning modes. The soft model will help improve oral hygiene without putting too much pressure on your teeth while the pulse mode will let you enjoy the pleasant massage afterwards. By stimulating gum tissue, this flosser also provides many additional health benefits that most other oral care devices simply don't offer.

Speaking of shortcomings, there's nothing wrong with the device but if we had to nitpick, it would be its power button, which is a tad too sensitive. Because of this, there's a good chance you might accidentally turn the device off during use. It is not a deal-breaker, but we wish the manufacturer would resolve it in the next iteration of the model.

When packing up for a business trip or leisure journey, more likely than not, a water flosser won't be on the list of essentials to take with you. That is unless you have the Waterpik WF-03, a compact device perfect for frequent travellers.

What distinguishes this model, aside from its compact size, of course, is that it uses the usual AA batteries. Thus, wherever you go, you'll be able to find and buy them in any nearby store. The best thing is, though, the unit doesn't require frequent batteries replacement and will last up to two months at least before changing the batteries will be needed, which should be enough to last even a long trip.

As far as dimensions go, the Waterpik WF-03 is a real find too. It is fitted with a small 150ml water tank and includes a handy travel bag, making it easy to carry around without it taking a lot of space in your bag, suitcase or backpack.

Despite its smaller size, though, the unit is no slouch when it comes to functionality and offers you all the basic functions that are necessary to duly maintain your oral hygiene. Besides, it includes not one but two classic jets and has a special orthodontic jet to make it suitable for use on braces, crowns, and implants.

To crown it all, it's packed with technologies including flossing and pulsation that will allow it to deep clean between your teeth and below the gumline. For your convenience, the unit also has low and high jet speeds that can be customised to suit your individual needs.
