⚠ DIFFERENT POWER ADAPTERS ⚠ Philips originally introduced the Cordless Power Flosser with a USB Type-A to USB Type-C charging cable. Following, what we believe to be reliability and safety issues with the original Type-C connector, the latest version of this model now has a different, 2 pin power connector built-in, rather than USB Type-C. Subsequently the power cable provided is now a USB Type-A to ‘small plug cable’ as Philips call it.. Product listings don’t necessarily make it very clear which one you are getting. In many instances, images of both charging ports are shown. The likelihood is you will get the new style power adapter rather than the Type-C connector. Part codes for the new variants include: HX3826/31, HX3826/33, HX3826/23, HX3826/21 & HX3826/24.
Thanks for all these reviews! The USB-C charging is a big plus over a proprietary port or the waterpik advanced induction system just for the ease and cost of getting a replacement as we have those cables in every drawer in the house anymore. I will be buying one of these 2 today!
The discontinued Phillips Sonicare Air Flosser was the most efficient, non-messy flosser conceived. It required only a few teaspoons of liquid to floss the entire mouth. Instead of flowing continuously, the user presses a trigger to release an air accompanied burst. Extremely compact and charges magnetically. I would pay double to have another.
Thank you for this review. This review and your other content helped me make a choice. I wanted to go with the equivalent Waterpik, but the deciding factor for me was the battery technology (NiMH vs. Lithium Ion). I'm not sure if it will end up mattering. The grip hasn't been an issue, and I don't know if I'll ever need to adjust the angle of the head. Water pressure seems good. Hopefully it holds up over time.
Is it enough for the mouth cleaning alone or should we also use toothbrush. If yes which order I need follow? First this or first brush and then this? Thanks for answers :)
You need to brush the teeth too. This is not sufficient on its own. We recommend flossing first followed by brushing. But as long as you do both it doesn't make a significant amount of difference.
Why do you need to replace Those plastic heads ?! Clean them - yes, but replace ?! Each half year ??! What for- for a margin and profit of manufacturers?!
I had to delete my previous comment. I believed that the pacer just does not work on my device. After re-exploring the user manual I found out that the pacer can be turned on and off on this device! For anyone who expect the same situation you have to long press the intensity button for 3 seconds while the device turned off. It will starts to blink fast what signs for you turned on / off the pacer function. To activate or deactivate the pacer With the Cordless Power Flosser off, press and hold the intensity selection button for 3 seconds. - When deactivated, the battery indicator light will flash amber once - When activated, the battery indicator light will flash green twice
I ordered one of these this week and discovered that the new model number HX 3826, has switched back to a proprietary charging cable away from USB-C. Very unfortunate!
Hi Electric teeth ,Which is a good flosser and one that is easy to keep the tank clean and how are you supposed to clean the tank on different water flosser .
You'll find this video useful: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zIEmiAc3vTk.html Not sure what you mean about cleaning the tank on a different water flosser.
With regards to the nozzle tips, how often do you actually need to replace these? It's not like a tooth brush which wears down so does it even need replacing?
This is all very interesting! It would be so much more valuable if I could actually get mine to turn on. The power comes on ….it is charged….has actually been charging for more than 8 hours. But nothing happens when I push the buttons. Am I missing something?!
My gum bled the first time I used this water flosser, even on the lowest setting. I didn't experience gum bleeding when using my old Panasonic flosser, or using regular floss. Hopefully, it will get better.
@@kottyking It’s been much improved. No bleeding from using the electric flosser. I also notice that using the quad stream nozzle is actually less “intensive” compared to the regular ones.
Amazon UK currently has 3 different models (31/33) of this product at different price points. Are there any differences between these as they seem to be the same apart from colour?
Good video, tiny suggestion, lower the camera a few cm as I constantly felt like you were looking up at me and it was a little distracting. But then I am a prone to noticing daft things like that!
Did you notice the nozzles being a little loose with your model? I have one myself I feel as though there is a little play with the nozzle moving loosely even when locked all the way down.
I don't recall this being the case. I don't have it right to hand at the moment. There may well be a very little play in the nozzle but certainly not something that stood out to me.
Hows the pressure compared to the countertop models? I dont have any sockets near sinks but if a countertop waterpik model is better i would just use a plastic basin to catch the mess.
It is comparable. As a very approximate comparison the pressure on the cordless vs the countertop is as follows: Low = Level 2 Medium = Level 5 High = Level 8
It depends on the pressure setting/mode, but in my testing the Waterpik Cordless Advanced gave a decibel reading of up to 70dB compared to the 77 of the Sonicare Power Flosser 3000.
I have this flosser for 1 month then the nozzle of my flosser broke at the base and left debris inside the body of the flosser. The debris cant be removed So I couldnt change the nozzle. Apparently, Philips cant do anything about it and says it isnt under their warranty.
I’ve just gotte mine and I’ve noticed some waterdrops in the charging port even when the rubber had never even been detached from the charging port. My friends’ flosser broke because of this, am I also at risk for it to break down when I’d like to charge it?
Hopefully not, but probably worth keeping an eye on and if you see more water there or it is a regular thing, then speak to Philips as the water shouldn't get inside.
I rate the Cordless Advanced higher. But, there is very little in it to be honest. Both are good. Comparison video - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TFvELjQlka4.html
Just bought it and have issues. 1) When you turn it on and start using it is water suppose to come out of the tiny hole under the eject button in the back? 2) is the quad stream tip only suppose to click in place instead of fully go in because it leaves a gap and water leaks out and not enough water comes through the tip?
Hi Patrick. No, water should only come out through the flosser tip/nozzle. Certainly not via the eject button. The QuadStram tip should click into place just like the other nozzles with water coming through the tip of the nozzle only. It sounds like this is faulty and in need of replacement.
To activate or deactivate the pacer: With the Cordless Power Flosser off, press and hold the intensity selection button for 3 seconds. - When deactivated, the battery indicator light will flash amber once - When activated, the battery indicator light will flash green twice
@@ElectricTeethI had this problem for 2 days. Last night I checked the cable connection while was in charge and, by suprise it was working. I said it is nothing wrong with it and left it charging overnight. Today I noticed no lights at all. Do I need a battery replacement or it is more serious issue?
Stefan. It sounds like the battery is at fault and needs replacing. There may well be another cause/solution but I do not have enough information about the product. Best to get in contact with Philips and get it repaired/replaced under warranty.
@@ElectricTeeth I'm trying to work out what better cos I'm looking for a replacement one in the past I've had waterpik cordless but it packed up I've replacement the tank 2 and the heads a few times
My recommendation is still Waterpik. I have a video coming to the channel in a couple of weeks to confirm this. Here is my written article explaining why: www.electricteeth.com/waterpik-cordless-advanced-vs-philips-sonicare-cordless-power-flosser-3000/
Height with nozzle in the flosser is approx 30.8cm / 12.13 inches. I don't have a nozzle to hand right now to check, but if the nozzle is out of the flosser, you are probably looking at about 10cm
Philips don't publish this information. From my testing it feels similar to most other flossers, so you are looking at a pressure range likely from around 30-70PSI.
Picture instructions very confusing. Can’t make sense of timing system which was very easy on old sonicare. Can only cope with back of bottom teeth when tank is full as unless hold it vertical it can’t pump water. Pressure will not dislodge debris but will wash bathroom face and clothes, Incredibly messy and can’t do whole mouth on one fill despite big tank which makes whole thing too big for travelling light. What a waste of money.
