Haha, cleaner mirrors are definitely a win. Curious though, how's the battery life on your cordless? I've been eyeing one for my kid since our countertop flosser keeps spraying water everywhere—bathroom looks like a splash zone after he's done. But if the cordless runs out of juice mid-floss, I might just stick with the countertop chaos... at least it finishes the job.
I've been wondering the same thing about battery life—nothing worse than it dying halfway through, especially with kids involved. Our countertop flosser also turns the bathroom into a mini water park every night, so I totally feel your pain there. Maybe cordless would at least limit the splash zone? Either way, props to you for keeping up with flossing routines despite the chaos... parenting win right there.
We switched from countertop to cordless about a year ago, mostly because I got tired of wiping down mirrors and walls every night. Honestly, the cordless does help contain the chaos a bit—no more hoses whipping around like a sprinkler gone rogue. But battery anxiety is real... ours died mid-floss once, and my kid thought it was hilarious watching me scramble for the charger with toothpaste dripping everywhere. Still, I'd take occasional battery drama over nightly bathroom floods any day.

Haha, I feel this. Switched to cordless recently too, mostly because countertop models felt like using a mini pressure washer in my mouth—bathroom cleanup was a nightmare. Cordless is definitely tidier, but yeah, the battery life can be sketchy. Mine died halfway through flossing after tacos once... not pretty. Still beats drowning the sink every night though, and bonus points for portability when traveling.
Totally relate to the countertop water mess—felt like I needed a mop after every floss session. But honestly, once I got used to angling it right, cleanup wasn't too bad. Battery anxiety though...yeah, that's legit. My cordless died mid-floss on vacation once, and charging took forever. Still, cordless wins for convenience when traveling or tight bathroom spaces. Either way, water flossing is such a game changer for gum health—worth the occasional hassle imo.
