Customer Ratings & Reviews

Philips Sonicare Power Flosser 3000 is a cordless flosser that’s powerful and effective. The tank holds just enough for a 1 minute flossing session that is guided by the device’s pacer to hit all 4 quadrants of your mouth (front and back of the top and bottom). Its rechargeable nature means you can use it without much drama, although I would be hesitant to call it portable. Philips Sonicare brand has been one of my favorite lines of hygiene products. The toothbrush has been pretty amazing for my oral health. However one problem for me remains: my crowded teeth mean I struggle with regular flossing. In fact I have one tooth that is crowded enough that I cannot get the floss back out without putting a lot of uncomfortable pressure on a filing. While I’ve tried water flossing before, I found corded units cumbersome and loud. The Power Flosser 3000 fixes both of those issues while still providing a strong flossing experience without the anxiety of getting floss stuck. In the box you’ll find a charger, USB-C cable, the power flosser unit, the water tank, and a pair of nozzles. Charging the device for a couple hours will fully charge it and Philips claims you’ll get 25 flossing sessions from a single charge. While I haven’t verified that claim yet, it has been powering away for the flosses I’ve completed without issue. I appreciate the USB-C charging, as that means it’s pretty universal. However, as previously mentioned, its size makes it hard to imagine taking this on the road (not impossible, but not something you’d fit in a small toiletry bag. Usage is pretty simple. Simply click in the nozzle of your choice. Fill up the tank, put it in your mouth, and push the power button. The device will spray for 15 seconds, then give a pulse and pause for you to reposition. The intent is to spend 15 seconds on the front of your upper teeth, then back of your upper teeth, then front of the bottom, and back of the bottom. 60 seconds lined up pretty well to the tank size, as I found each run required a refill. This isn't so bad due to its portable nature, and the easy fill tank that makes it quick and easy to fill up. Using it took a bit of practice to be fully comfortable. You need to stay on target the entire time and get the teeth right around the gums. I definitely turned the intensity down the first couple times. I did use the quad stream, and liked that nozzle a lot. The first time I used it my gums bled pretty well. They were inflamed, and not in great shape due to my lack of flossing. After just a couple days, my gums felt firmer, not inflamed, and healthy. I was surprised at the results. I wasn’t expecting a battery powered device to be as effective as it was. Philps really delivered here. The device has 3 intensity settings, and a deep clean pulse setting. The intensity setting of medium was where I started and it was still a lot. By day 3 I was using it at full intensity without too much issue. You can hold the intensity button to turn off the 15 second pacer, although I found that setting essential. The device has a 2 year warranty and seems to be built quite well. There is no user replaceable battery, but I’m still rolling on a 4 year old toothbrush with amazing battery life, so I’m not too concerned. Nozzles are designed to last 6 months. Overall the Power Flosser 3000 is a solid product. I love the benefits that Philips has brought to my life with their products, especially the battery powered ones. I highly recommend this flosser!

Up until I received this Philips Sonicare Power Flosser 3000 Cordless, my experience with water flossers (or oral irrigators, whatever name you ascribe to them) has been the type which sit on your bathroom counter taking up a lot of space and making a lot of noise while keeping your teeth and gums healthy. This is my first portable/cordless flosser and I am pretty happy with the experience so far. The water tank is fairly small, and I found that when using either the single tip or the quad/cross tip I am able to get all of my teeth clean if I use the middle setting for the water pressure at a comfortable pace. With the highest strength, I either have to stop and top the tank up, or move faster from tooth to tooth than I am comfortable with. Relative to a big, traditional flosser, this is a bit of a change but a necessary one to keep the Sonicare 3000 Flosser from being ungainly to use (or bring along for travel). The flossing experience is really neat with the Sonicare 3000 and I am pretty happy with the options available vs my other water flossers. First, there is the "deep clean" option for flossing. This pulses the water at different strengths and does provide a noticeably clean feeling when you're done. Second, the 3000 cordless includes a traditional single point spray tip as well as a cross shaped Quad Stream tip which is very different from any other unit that I've used. The Quad Stream is recommended for people with braces or dental work, and I have been using it more due to the fact that I have a crown and it seems to be more gentle around the gum pocket of that tooth. For travel, the 3000 is pretty compact considering what it is - you can put the tip inside the water tank to make it fit a little easier in your bag. Philips advertises 14 days of use per charge, and I really, really, really like that this thing has USB-C charging. Philips deserves praise for understanding how travel works - I only carry one charger on the road and it's great to be able to charge my phone, laptop, and even potentially this device without having to stuff yet another thing in my bag. Definitely consider the Sonicare 3000 Cordless water flosser if you are looking for something a little more compact and portable than the counter-top variety.

This product may work well for some people but i perosnally did not like it. I dont recommend this as the water empties too quickly and may require frequent refills and only includes two nozzle heads. There are similar products that have a larger reservoir and the ability to temporarily turn off the head.

Leaks all over unless you can somehow use it upright the whole time

Not impressed by product. Spent way to much money on it as well. Save your money.

It stopped working after a month of daily use. You can’t turn it on.

I wasn't too crazy about a device that squirts jets of water in your mouth; there's so many ways that could be messy. My wife had a corded water flosser that she used maybe a handful of times since she bought it over a year ago. It didn't get much use because of how limited its range was before you tugged on the entire unit causing water to spill onto the counter. So, when she recently bought a cordless unit, I was surprised to see how long the water lasted and how well she said it worked. I decided to try out the Philips model 3000 cordless because I knew the brand. I like the extra options it had over my wife's unit and its great to have options with anything. The 3 different settings were each more intense than the other and worked well at getting teeth clean between brushings. The quad stream tip didn't really have the effect I thought it would have. Cutting the stream into 4 different directions made it softer to use, but also increased the chance of water unintentionally leaving the confines of my mouth. Switching between nozzles was easy and secure due to the clicklock button on the front. Filling the water reservoir could be done by the little door on the side or by unscrewing the base with a quarter turn. I found the unit to be lightweight in hand and easy to maneuver around my teeth. The reservoir holds enough water for one complete cleaning lasting 1 minute timed, separated in 15 second interval pauses, letting you know how much time to spend on each area. Instead of letting the water dribble out of your mouth like Philips suggests, I hold for the full 15 seconds then spit; cleaner with less splatter. It works better than a toothpick and just as good as floss, but nicer to your gums.

I've used a Sonicare toothbrush for about 20 years now. I've had the same 1st generation brush, so I know they can reach a high standard. I've also been using a Waterpik flosser (a counter-top model, not a travel model) for about a year and a half, so I have experience with flossers. The Sonicare flosser does have some variability in the power of the spray, but it tops out at about what would be a 5 out of 10 on the Waterpik. I've been accustomed to using the Waterpik on about a 9. Despite this difference in pressure, my teeth feel just as clean with the Sonicare as they do with the Waterpik. You get the same kind of "dentist clean" feeling with both. I also like that the Sonicare is easier to travel with than the counter-top Waterpik. I did have a smaller Waterpik before, and liked it, but the power of the spray was highly dependent on how much of a charge you had, and it required a special charger. With the Sonicare, I've been using it for about 8 or 9 days and haven't had to recharge it yet. Even if I were traveling and ran out of charge, it will charge with the same plug as my cell-phone, so there's nothing extra to bring or keep track of. If you've used a Sonicare toothbrush before, you know it pauses briefly after a certain amount of time to let you know to move to a different part of the mouth. This does that every 15 seconds. The only way that the Sonicare falls behind the more powerful Waterpik is if you have a gap in your teeth which tends to capture larger pieces of food, or get stuck more strongly, you may need the higher power to get the food unstuck.

Water is leaking from the nozzle release button. Any help is appreciated

The size of this portable flosser is great. Its not too small but it’s not large and isn’t overly complicated to use. It charges relatively fast, but may have also be due to it already having some juice upon opening the box. It’s super easy to use, and even easier to clean. I like that I’m able to use it with diluted mouthwash, as long as I flush it with water after use so it doesn’t clog. Since the size is much smaller than a table top flosser, it does go through the water quite fast and you’ll need to refill to finish unless you’re great at getting it all done on one fill. There’s three buttons. One power, and two setting buttons. It also comes with two flossers, so if you want the comfort flosser, that’s a separate purchase. You can store one flosser at a time inside of the unit. There’s a place you can snap it in to dry. This was my first time using a water flosser and there is definitely a learning curve. I did as instructed but didn’t close my mouth all the way and boy, oh boy, lesson learned. The water went everywhere and splashed me in the face so hard. It was a huge laughable moment. But you get the hang of it soon thereafter. This handy flosser has some powerful water pressure. It’s not uncomfortable, but may tickle until you’re use to it. It does leave a much cleaner feeling in your mouth. I prefer this over traditional methods.

I love that this thing is battery operated and portable. Also, it charges with a USB C cable so I don’t need to remember a charger since my phone also USB C. I wouldn’t say this has the highest pressure, but it gets the job done and at least for me is the only way I can consistently floss. There are three different pressure settings and I’ve left it on the highest since I got it. It comes with two picks one that is traditional and has a higher-pressure output but the other one seems to do a better job, so I’ve stuck with the purple one. I would say the one drawback is that there isn’t an auto off, or at least one fast enough for me. The water tank holds almost exactly four 15second times worth of water, so I figured it would shut off after the last one. That is where the almost comes into play, it splashed water on me and the mirror, annoying and made me realize that I need to turn it off after I’m done. Other than that, I love that this thing is easy to pack and easy to use. Pros: - USB C charging - Battery operated - Multiple water pressure settings - Easy to use - 2 different heads - Battery seems to last for some time Cons: - Doesn’t automatically shut off after four 15second rounds when container is basically empty

The on off switch is awkward to use in turning on and off the flosser between teeth, upper and lower/ inside the mouth and the area in the cheek.

What is in the box Cordless Power Flosser Standard Nozzle Quad Stream Nozzle USB Adapter Type C USB cable Manual This unit comes with a 2-year warranty. The manual goes into depth on the proper use of the device. There are 3 power settings, and you can switch between clean and deep clean. The clean mode provides a constant stream of water. With the Pacer function on the pressure will pause every 15 seconds telling you its tine to move to the next section. The deep clean mode provides strong and gentle pulses for a thorough clean. A brief pause every 15 seconds tells you it's time to move to the next space. There are two methods of filling the reservoir. Twist and detach the reservoir and use the big opening or lift the flip top on the side of the reservoir and fill the small opening. The battery should last about 25 minutes. The use of this device is easier than the sink top models. With the three power levels you can pick the one that’s just right for you. The nozzle can be adjusted for ease of aim. I like the brief pause with the pacer function. The Pacer can be turned off by following the instructions in the manual. I would recommend the Philips Sonicare 3000 to family and friends.

The Phillips Sonicare Power Flosser 3000 Cordless is a very effective easy to use flosser. It is small enough to fit in your hand comfortably, yet it holds an adequate amount of water once you become proficient using it. It comes with 2 flossing heads. One has a single flow of water and one is a quad head which has 4 jets of water covering a wider area of your teeth. I prefer the single flow head which was easier for me to direct to a specific area. Also included is a wall adapter and a USB A to USB C cable. It is easy to use and holds a charge for 2 weeks. Filling the tank with water is easy and can be accomplished by either opening a valve or by removing the tank. The overall design is very good, however I have had one issue. The power button is way too sensitive and it's located where your fingers grip the device. I have accidentally turned it on and off numerous times. Sometimes hitting myself in the face or spraying around the bathroom. I also wish that a travel case was included.

Philips Sonicare It is not strong and not cleaning at all

The Philips Sonicare Power Flosser 3000 Cordless uses water and a bit of pressure to clean the spaces between your teeth and gums. It is very similar to anther well know product which had the majority of market share with this type of dental hygiene appliance. Being cordless provides an additional level of flexibility as you use It without a power connection. In a general sense this unit does an excellent job of cleaning your teeth without the hassle of floss and the irritation it can cause (and sometimes get stuck in the gaps). Using water makes this process much easier. This unit has three power or pressure modes, gentle, medium and full. A few observations, the unit cleans your teeth well, however I found myself needing to till the reservoir twice, once for the top and bottom teeth. Using this is pretty easy but caution it can get very messy trying complete a full cleaning session over the sink. Others have suggested that since this is wireless it may make sense to try to use it in the shower. I usually don’t practice dental hygiene in the shower, but perhaps it is the key to avoiding making a mess. In any case I found this device useful and a good tool to have in your dental care toolbox. Pros: - Like the three power modes - Cleans in between teeth very well - Better than traditional floss that can shred and become stuck in between teeth - Quick cleaning cycle does a good job in a minimal amount of time. Cons: - Messy, gets water everywhere - I found you need to fill water tank twice during a cleaning session: bottom and top teeth - Clothing gets soaked

I picked this up for my wife, since I have a Philips 3000 water flosser that I like and she's been wanting one that was portable. She's used this for about a week now and really, really likes it. For starters, she like that it has a timing feature to let her know when to switch areas of the mouth (15 sec per), so that way it makes knowing you've hit every area a piece of cake. There's an option for regular clean and another for deep clean, which is nice. She liked deep clean because it takes a little break so you can move from tooth to tooth as needed. Another nice feature is that it has a rechargeable battery instead of using a handful of double A's like some other portable water flossers. It comes with a USB cable and power brick, so you can use it in a regular / GFCI outlet if you don't have a newer one that has a standard USB-A port. That said, because there's a rechargeable battery in there, you're not supposed to use this in the shower. It's not certified as water proof and my wife wisely decided not to test her ability to withstand a shock just to clean her teeth while taking a shower. If you've never used a water flosser before, I'd recommend using warmer water. Colder water can hurt if you're not prepared for it. Luckily, we live in Texas where even cold water comes out of the tap at room temperature. For cleaning, a nice feature is that you can clean the reservoir in dishwasher's top rack. The instructions say to use mild soap and water, or dishwasher. For cleaning the actual flosser attachments, you need to use vinegar and water. I don't think those are dishwasher safe and we haven't tried. It also has instructions for dealing with orthodontics. Because it's a portable one and doesn't require a base like mine, it doesn’t take up too much space on her counter - which is nice since space is a premium. She's flossed everyday since she opened it and highly recommends it if you're looking for a good water flosser.

It works fine and battery last a lot. It cleans very good

I've tried a few different water flossers and so far this is the best of them. I've tried a stationary flosser. It works fine, but is loud and surprisingly messy. Another cordless flosser was slimmer, but didn't hold much. The Sonicare is much quieter than I expected, which was pleasantly surprising; and the reservoir is well sized - but not too big. It holds enough water to perform a quick cleaning - about 60-90 seconds it says - and gives a short feedback to let you know when to move from different quadrants. The reservoir does make the flosser a bit bulky at the bottom, but the upper part of the flosser can detach, making the reservoir much easier to fill. However there's also a small cap on the reservoir so that you can fill it without detaching. This was a very nice addition. The cleaning, itself, is fairly basic; with a few different strengths to fit your preferences...and the flosser performed well. It got out food particles that I missed during brushing. Also, I'm happy Philips chose to include a charging adapter and cable - USB-C instead of the old micro-USB. Aside from the slightly awkward holding, which may be problematic for people with smaller hands, the only other thing I would ding it for is that the flosser only comes with two replacement nozzles; however one of them is a "Quad Stream" nozzle that breaks the water flow into 4 jets. I'm not yet sure if it's as good as advertised.

I've been looking into these for a while and finally got this one. I'm not completely certain it's better than flossing, but after several uses, I definitely feel like it works well. There are two different heads and multiple settings including deep cleaning. This thing is really messy though. So much so that I tend to use it in the shower as opposed to over the bathroom sink. There is a built-in timer that vibrates after 15 seconds and lets you know when to go on to your next row of teeth. This is a great feature and the vibration is strong and then there is a brief pause, which could be a little longer, to let you know to go to the next row. The only real negative thing I can say about this is I wish the water reservoir was a little bigger. I can barely get through and entire regular cleaning, but I certainly cant get through a deep clean without having to pause to refill it. A slightly larger reservoir would solve that problem, but at the expense of adding some weight. I am very happy with this so far and I'm sure I will get some good usage out of it.
