Review of the best inexpensive irrigators

An irri­ga­tor is a device that, with the help of a water jet, helps to clean the inter­den­tal spaces from plaque and food debris. It allows you to main­tain oral hygiene at a high­er lev­el than using a sin­gle tooth­brush. And in the pres­ence of braces, crowns, and in gen­er­al with an uneven den­ti­tion, the irri­ga­tor is indis­pens­able.

When choos­ing an irri­ga­tor, you should pay atten­tion to such points:

• Water tank size. If you are used to per­form­ing oral hygiene quick­ly, you can take the min­i­mum. If you do not like to con­stant­ly add water, take the max­i­mum.
• Avail­abil­i­ty of spe­cial­ized ortho­don­tic noz­zles. Required if the user has braces, implants or crowns. Noz­zles for braces and crowns are dif­fer­ent, pay atten­tion.
• Water sup­ply tech­nol­o­gy. Doc­tors rec­om­mend pulse, most mod­els offer it. The most inno­v­a­tive option is microbub­ble. There is also a mono-jet, it also works and helps.
• The num­ber of modes and pow­er of the device. Some users like it soft­er, oth­ers like it hard­er. Here you need to focus on your pref­er­ences.

Top Inexpensive Irrigators

CS MEDICA AQUAPULSAR OS1

CS MEDICA AQUAPULSAR OS1

The device is sta­tion­ary, that is, it is con­nect­ed to an out­let and has a large water tank (600 ml). The block with the device can be attached to the wall, then it will not take up any space in the bath­room at all.

Giv­en the price and dura­bil­i­ty, it showed excel­lent test results. The man­u­fac­tur­er claims that with con­stant use, the irri­ga­tor makes teeth 2 times clean­er, gums 3 times stronger, and reduces bleed­ing 5 times. The num­ber of oper­at­ing modes and pow­ers is also amaz­ing: there are 10 of them, each user will be able to cus­tomize the device for them­selves.

Pros:

• Con­ve­nient modes of use (spray, jet of dif­fer­ent pow­er).
• Includes 4 attach­ments, includ­ing braces and tongue.
• The device looks styl­ish and min­i­mal­ist.
• Econ­o­my and effi­cien­cy.
• Accord­ing to user reviews, it is used for a long time and does not break.

Minus­es:

• Com­plain about some noise of the device.

SOOCAS W3

SOOCAS W3

The Soocas W3 mod­el is com­pact and eas­i­ly rids the inter­den­tal spaces of food residues and mas­sages the gums. Per­fect for use sev­er­al times a day and will com­ple­ment the work of a tooth­brush.

The kit comes with 4 noz­zles, Tra­di­tion­al­ly, the device has 3 modes of use. The mech­a­nism is pow­er­ful, accord­ing to reviews, the water jet is well sprayed and real­ly cleans effec­tive­ly. When ful­ly charged, it can last up to 30 days.

One of the main advan­tages of the portable mod­el is a large water tank, as much as 230 ml. For portable irri­ga­tors, this is a lot. The sur­face has rub­ber areas and is par­tial­ly cov­ered with pim­ples, so the device is com­fort­able to hold in wet hands. Anoth­er impor­tant advan­tage is the high degree of mois­ture pro­tec­tion IPX7. This means that the device will sur­vive immer­sion in water for sev­er­al min­utes and will not dete­ri­o­rate.

Pros:

• Water con­tain­er capac­i­ty 230 ml.
• Ergonom­ic design for com­fort­able hold­ing.
• High lev­el of water pro­tec­tion.
• Capa­cious bat­tery, long bat­tery life with­out recharg­ing.

Minus­es:

• In some stores it is sold with one noz­zle, you need to con­trol it.

XIAOMI OLYBO WL8

XIAOMI OLYBO WL8

The blue portable device has a tele­scop­ic design. When not in use, it can be com­pressed into a com­pact cylin­der. Remov­able 150ml water con­tain­er is easy to fill. If you use a spe­cial clean­ing flu­id instead of water, it can be car­ried in a tank and not be afraid of leak­age. The man­u­fac­tur­er took care of the reli­a­bil­i­ty and tight­ness of the design.

The device works by a pul­sat­ing method with a fre­quen­cy up to 1600 times/min. A pul­sat­ing jet of water cleans the gum space and inter­den­tal spaces well. The noz­zle rotates 360 degrees for max­i­mum clean­ing com­fort. The mod­el is rec­om­mend­ed in ortho­don­tics for bleed­ing gums, it makes a soft and ben­e­fi­cial mas­sage.

The bat­tery of the device allows it to work up to 45 min­utes with­out inter­rup­tion. This is not the max­i­mum val­ue among irri­ga­tors from our rat­ing. How­ev­er, in rela­tion to the qual­i­ty of clean­ing and the sur­viv­abil­i­ty of the device, it is nor­mal. Charg­ing is done via USB.

Pros:

• Sealed against splash­es (how­ev­er, rins­ing under the stream is not rec­om­mend­ed).
• Made from food safe plas­tic, the man­u­fac­tur­er focus­es on this point.
• Pow­er­ful cleans­ing jet.
• Long life bat­tery.
• Very com­pact and portable.

Minus­es:

• Accord­ing to reviews, not every­one has enough pow­er.
• Con­tacts may oxi­dize if rinsed under run­ning water (as in all pre­vi­ous mod­els).

VES ELECTRIC VIP-009

VES ELECTRIC VIP-009

The main advan­tage of the mod­el is a large water tank. It can be rec­om­mend­ed to those who are used to thor­ough­ly clean­ing all the inter­den­tal spaces that they can reach, and who lack the vol­ume of portable irri­ga­tors. Of course, such a device is dif­fi­cult to take with you on a trip. But for the house it will be very com­fort­able. The design is well thought out, in the lid there is a case for noz­zles and var­i­ous func­tion­al tri­fles.

The mod­el is not just an irri­ga­tor, but a whole sta­tion for main­tain­ing oral hygiene. The kit comes with sev­er­al noz­zles (name­ly 7), includ­ing for clean­ing the tongue and the inside of the cheeks. The VIP-009 is per­fect for users who need to clean their den­tal “pock­ets” and oth­er hard-to-reach places.

Pros:

• The vol­ume of the con­tain­er for water is 600 ml.
• High pul­sa­tion pow­er.
• Effec­tive­ly cleans the spaces between teeth.
• Suit­able for those who need an irri­ga­tor sev­er­al times a day.
• Con­ve­nient fit­tings.

Minus­es:

• The pow­er cord is short, you need an out­let in the bath­room.

B.WELL WI-911

B.WELL WI-911

The B.Well WI-911 irri­ga­tor is equipped with a mod­ern pow­er­ful bat­tery, which is enough for more than a month of work. Or 70 min­utes of pure usage time. If there is no out­let in the bath­room, then the pos­si­bil­i­ty of rare recharg­ing will ben­e­fit. The device can be charged and tak­en with you for a month on a trip. Like many oth­er mod­els with capa­cious bat­ter­ies, it charges with­in 8 hours.

Three func­tion­al modes for clean­ing teeth, heal­ing and mas­sag­ing the gums are what the device can boast of. The noz­zles have a cir­cu­lar rota­tion, this sig­nif­i­cant­ly ben­e­fits the ergonom­ics of use. Two noz­zles in the kit come with col­or labels — you can use it for dif­fer­ent fam­i­ly mem­bers and not be con­fused.

Pros:

• The bat­tery charge lasts for a long time (con­ve­nient if there is no extra out­let).
• Ergonom­ics and ease of use.
• Easy noz­zle change with the push of a but­ton.
• You can buy noz­zles, they are on sale.
• Well cleans the gaps between the teeth and removes plaque.

Minus­es:

• It is nec­es­sary to adapt to the stream of water, it may seem too strong.

Kenwell P‑121

Ken­well P‑121

The pow­er of the water jet is adjustable and pro­vides 3 modes. Includes 3 noz­zles with dif­fer­ent func­tions. The irri­ga­tor will do a good job of clean­ing gum pock­ets, crowns, braces and just gaps between teeth. Removes plaque and even helps to cope with plaque on the tongue. Can be used on nat­ur­al teeth and implants.

The device looks styl­ish, placed in a black stream­lined case. It sur­pass­es pre­vi­ous mod­els in the abil­i­ty to bet­ter reg­u­late the water pres­sure. Suit­able for peo­ple suf­fer­ing from gin­givi­tis and oth­er dis­eases of the oral cav­i­ty. And also for those who just want to take care of the beau­ty of a smile.

Pros:

• Inter­est­ing appear­ance.
• Con­ve­nient to use and effi­cient.
• Mas­sages gums.

DR.BEI F3

DR.BEI F3

The pul­sat­ing device is suit­able for peo­ple with peri­odon­tal dis­ease, it eas­i­ly mas­sages the gums. Will be good for reg­u­lar use after every meal. Thanks to the bub­ble water sup­ply, it copes with plaque, slows down the devel­op­ment of tar­tar, and pre­vents bad breath. The tank vol­ume of this mod­el is larg­er than the pre­vi­ous one in our rat­ing and is 180 ml.

The mod­el charges faster, it will take 4 hours to ful­ly recharge. It is also com­pact, suit­able for trav­el, you can even take it to work to care for braces.
