Panasonic Water Flosser for Travel, Cordless Portable Oral Irrigator with Two Water Pressure Settings, Collapsible Water Tank - EW-DJ11​-A

I bought the irrigator 2 weeks ago and have been delighted.Once charged it lasts the whole week before needing a recharge.The water tank is sufficient to clean teeth both sides and top to bottom with a little left over to go over any needed areas.The different intensity levels work well and allow differing levels for both myself and my wife.It's the best irrigator I have used.

I already had a water flosser, but they are usually too large to easily pack for travelling, this one packs down to quite a small unit which also holds the removable tip, so it packs easily. Once you get used to how it expands for use it's easy to use. It's effective at flossing and the tank holds just enough water for one use. It's easy to rinse and dry it if you need to pack it quickly. I'm very pleased with the design, and so far I've not run down the rechargeable battery after 14 days of use from new.

I was given the Panasonic DJ40 Rechargeable Oral Irrigator by Panasonic to review as part of the Panasonic Reviewer programme. This is the third Oral Irrigator / Water Flosser that I have owned and I have found the EW-DJ40 to be an outstanding performer. Why do I use an oral irrigator? Well, my teeth have very little space between them and I find flossing difficult if not impossible and as a result my gum health was suffering. My gums had a tendency to bleed, but since I have been using an oral irrigator this is a thing of the past and now my dentist comments on how healthy my gums are. My first water flosser was of a different make and, although successful, was poorly built and didn't last. I then bought the Panasonic EW 1411 which I found to be of much better ... MoreI was given the Panasonic DJ40 Rechargeable Oral Irrigator by Panasonic to review as part of the Panasonic Reviewer programme.

Well, my teeth have very little space between them and I find flossing difficult if not impossible and as a result my gum health was suffering. My gums had a tendency to bleed, but since I have been using an oral irrigator this is a thing of the past and now my dentist comments on how healthy my gums are. My first water flosser was of a different make and, although successful, was poorly built and didn't last. I then bought the Panasonic EW 1411 which I found to be of much better quality and highly effective - I did however buy it because of the 4 mode water jet and find that I only really use one mode! My experience with the EW-DJ40 has also been very positive. It arrived well packaged with virtually all of the packaging being recyclable - the first plus point. The user manual was easy to follow with clear instructions and illustrations, but I do find it a waste that, being a multi language publication, only 12 pages of a 207 page booklet were in my chosen language! However, what about the product itself? The biggest advantage over my current EW1411 is the compactness and usefulness as a travel item. The functional part of the irrigator pushes down into the water tank when not in use and the nozzle has it's own storage place in the unit; this makes it great to drop into your case when travelling, it also means the water tank is larger. Whilst the EW1411 is possibly more pleasing on the eye and sleeker in design it has a separate base and takes up more room when packing. The DJ40 has two modes normal and soft which is more than adequate. If you want good looks and features buy the EW1411, for practicality and ease of use buy the DJ40, they are both great machines to use.
