This portable and rechargeable water flosser can be used both at home and while travelling. The Panasonic Cordless Ultrasonic received good feedback and there have been 100 reviews published to date on Amazon Australia. It averaged 4.5 stars out of 5 and nearly 75% of the reviews returned a perfect 5-star rating.

Water flossing is supposed to cover more surface area in the mouth. The Panasonic model has a water jet that effectively removes food debris and plaque.

It only takes an hour to charge the item and each flossing session lasts about a minute. There is a water tank that needs to be replaced after each floss and it fits well on most bathroom vanity sink tops.
