I brought a Phillips Sonicare Airfloss just after Christmas 2015 and charged the unit for the required 24hours and commenced using on a daily basis. I have problems with plaque and tartar build up due to the medication I take and when I had my Hygienist check up on 18 February 2016 was told that my gums showed a healthy improvement. However, around this time the unit stopped working as it should, after some 15 seconds of use it would not squirt the liquid from the reservoir. I kept recharging the unit but it became very intermittent in its functionality.

I had kept the receipt and returned the unit back to Boots chemist who exchanged the Airfloss for a new device on or around the 20 February 2016. This unit was also charged for the requested 24 hours but after working fine for some two weeks this unit has now gone down the same route.

The Airfloss shows three green lights when turned on for use but almost straight away there does not appear to be sufficient power to work. The unit makes a slight noise of the motor working but no air/water is pumped from the device and the three green lights dim down as if it is not charged.

The Phillips Airfloss is a great idea and when it works it really does do what it says but at £99 I would be interested to know if other users have had the same problem as two faulty units in less than three months is rather concerning. – Barry in Hertfordshire

I bought this for £90 and it us impressive. However it just stopped working after about two months. No reason. Just packed in. Phillips replaced ur and i used tge second one for about 18 months and it just packed in too. I hadnt kept the paperwork so they wouldn’t help a second time but I personally think that for £90 I would want it to last. My electric toothbrush has lasted for years and i replace the heads. The airfloss is great for cleaning in between your teeth. I just question its reliability. I wont be risking a third one

As a dental student, I’m glad to see that people are finding things like these to aid with their dental health. I haven’t tried using an airfloss myself (I use the old school floss) but I’ll be surely getting one in the future. How much did you happen to get this product? Thanks!
