I've been using a cordless one for about six months now, and honestly, battery life's been pretty solid—usually lasts me around two weeks per charge. Pressure-wise, it's decent enough, though maybe a tad weaker than countertop models. Have you checked out models with adjustable pressure settings?
I've been using a countertop model for a while now, and honestly, the adjustable pressure settings are a lifesaver. At first, I cranked it up thinking "more power = cleaner teeth," right? Big mistake...felt like I was pressure washing my gums, lol. Dialed it back to medium and it's perfect—strong enough to feel effective without making me regret my life choices. Cordless sounds tempting for travel though; lugging around my countertop beast isn't exactly convenient.
I've been using a cordless water flosser myself for about a year now, and I can relate to your experience with pressure settings. Initially, I too underestimated the power and ended up with sore gums for days...lesson learned. But honestly, the portability more than makes up for the slightly less intense pressure. It's great for travel or even just moving around the bathroom without a cord getting tangled. Maybe consider a cordless just for trips—might save you some hassle!
"Maybe consider a cordless just for trips—might save you some hassle!"
Haha, that's exactly what I ended up doing. Got a budget-friendly cordless one just for traveling, and honestly, it's been a lifesaver. Countertop stays home, cordless hits the road...best of both worlds without breaking the bank.
I totally get the cordless appeal for traveling. I remember lugging my countertop one on a weekend trip once—never again, haha. Ended up buying a cordless right after that fiasco. Honestly, it's not quite as powerful as my countertop one at home, but it's definitely good enough for short trips. Plus, it's way easier to pack and doesn't take up half my suitcase. Glad you found something that works for you too!
