I hear you about the countertop models taking over the bathroom—I could probably bench press mine, but that’s about the only workout it’s giving me. I switched to cordless too, mostly because I got tired of untangling the cord like it was an old pair of headphones. Still, does anyone else struggle with the battery dying halfway through? Or is it just my luck...
That battery thing isn’t just you—I’ve had mine conk out mid-floss and it’s so annoying, especially when I’m in a rush before work. I do love not dealing with cords, but sometimes I miss just plugging in and not worrying about charge levels. Guess it’s always a trade-off.
That’s exactly why I keep going back and forth on which one I like better. The cordless is so easy to grab, but yeah, if I forget to charge it, I’m out of luck. My countertop one isn’t as sleek, but it’s always ready and honestly feels a bit more powerful. I guess it’s about what bugs you more—cords or dead batteries. Either way, as long as we’re flossing, that’s what counts, right?
I totally get what you mean about the countertop feeling more powerful—I noticed that too. But I’m lazy and always end up grabbing my cordless, even though I’ve definitely had to do the mad dash recharge before bed. Anyone else feel like the countertop ones are just too much hassle to clean?
I totally get the countertop hassle thing. I used to have one and, honestly, cleaning all those tiny parts was such a chore. The tank would get kind of gross if I forgot even once. Switched to cordless a year ago—yeah, it’s not as powerful, but I actually use it every day now. For me, convenience wins out over the extra oomph. And I don’t miss untangling that cord or wiping water off the bathroom counter...
