That’s honestly the trade-off I see a lot—convenience vs. power. I’ve noticed patients stick with their routine way more often with a cordless. Sure, the countertop ones can blast away more debris, but if it just sits under the sink, it’s not helping much. I do wish the cordless models held a bit more water, though… refilling mid-floss can get annoying.
I totally get what you mean about the water tank size. I’m new to all this and honestly, I picked cordless just because it seemed less intimidating. Having to refill halfway through is a bit annoying, but at least it doesn’t feel like a huge production every night. If the countertop one’s more powerful but ends up gathering dust, it’s not really a win for me either. Routine feels like half the battle right now.
Honestly, I went cordless for the same reason—less hassle, less clutter. I do get annoyed at the small tank, but if it helps me actually stick with flossing, I count that as a win. For me, the countertop felt like overkill and I’d probably just end up ignoring it after a week. If the routine’s working, even with a couple refills, I’d say you’re on the right track.
