The other countertop water flossers we tested had reservoirs that ranged from 400mL to 600mL. It isn’t nearly as tall or wide as many of the countertop water flossers we tested, but even with a smaller footprint, it doesn’t sacrifice reservoir size and can hold a generous 600mL of water, which is among the largest we tested. The ION’s compact design also helps make it easy to place. There’s also a plastic case to store all of the extra nozzles. The Ion is the only flosser we tested that offers a tip meant for cleaning fixed implant bridges and dentures. With the many nozzle options, regardless of your dental needs, you’ll find an appropriate tip to lead you on the right path for successful oral hygiene. And even though the plaque seeker tip is intended for with those with implants, crowns and bridges - which we don’t have - we enjoyed this particular nozzle as it felt as though it was giving our gums an extra cleaning. While some of these extra nozzles aren’t necessary for most people, we often used the tongue cleaner to remove bacteria buildup for fresh breath. Seven nozzle types are included with the ION: you get two regular jet tips with color-coded bands so you can share the unit with a partner, along with an implant denture tip, orthodontic tip, “pik pocket” tip, “plaque seeker” tip and tongue cleaner. There are no specialized pulse or massage modes, which we didn’t personally miss and didn’t count as an oversight. The ION’s handle is also magnetic, making it effortless to snap onto the base when it’s time to put it away.Ĭontrolling the Ion is simple, with 10 different pressure settings accessible using a dial on the side of the base. It came in especially handy when flossing the inside of our upper teeth - an area that’s hard to reach and easy to miss. Having this option helps you position the water more accurately and can be very beneficial, especially if you have any orthodontic appliances. In our testing, we found that rotating the nozzle is incredibly easy, even while you’re flossing. More importantly, the Ion is a pleasure to use, courtesy of a 360-degree rotating nozzle handle. We were able to place the unit anywhere without having to worry about access to a plug, especially since the battery lasts up to four weeks at a charge. It has a large reservoir like corded units, but the compact footprint and rechargeable battery let you place it anywhere - a design that we truly appreciated, and one we’d recommend regardless of how much counter space you have in your bathroom.
