In Detail:
I have the Air Floss tested for a week and then put the "28-day money back guarantee" to complete. Philips touts the phrase "Philips Sonicare AirFloss is an effective, simple and gentle way to clean between the teeth" and lets me know so that I an alternative to this unit - have clean between the teeth using floss - not quite as pleasant , After a week of use, including acclimatization and about 30 applications I unfortunately came to the conclusion that after cleaning with the Air Floss still remains between the teeth are present, which can be removed with dental floss.
The idea to clean the interdental spaces by means of air (pressure) and water after the "Kärcher" principle, sounds good, then corresponds to but not quite the reality. Angle and distance of the head to the interdental space must be chosen very carefully before pressing a button pressed a short air-water surge through the gap. Is not enough "space" exists (the gap to narrow the angle too narrow), only the compression noise, the expected air-water shock remains off but sounds after the touch of a button. By removing the head then the tooth / gum spray the unit the water in the mouth. This gives the impression that not enough pressure available. For larger spaces, the water shoots sometimes even without effect between adhering to the tooth remains throughout.
Of course one could say I had to in this case the device so and so keep the distance to x mm increase or decrease, clean from the inside out, repeatedly spraying (which I incidentally always did) or the battery longer load. Ultimately, one that I've removed after each cleaning visible remains with the floss and its use requires no multi-page manual.
Ultimately, you should do about it thinking that Philips the Air Floss for advertising purposes with the cleaning of dental floss compares (packaging: "Easier to clean between the teeth as flossing") in the indication of efficiency but a comparison with the manual toothbrush draws ("Clinical studies have shown that when combined the Sonicare AirFloss with a manual toothbrush up to 99% more plaque is removed than when used alone a manual toothbrush ")
- How is the efficiency in relation to the dental floss?
