...but other than that, and the fact that it really obstructs the faucet, it's a pretty cool little tool, and I'm still using it when I can't get to the better irrigator in the other bathroom, though I grumble about the awkwardness of the part that hangs down from the faucet, and about the off taste of the water that comes through the irrigator. My spouse won't use it for that reason. I think they must've manufactured it using recycled plastic, and that doesn't seem like a good idea for something that goes into your mouth. It tastes like old detergent bottles and, frankly, a bit like garbage. I have to rinse my mouth out a lot after using it. I wish they'd make it with good quality materials and then it'd be winner.

It seemed like a great device. I liked that I could control the force of the water pressure. I used it for about 6 weeks then the unit that the tip attaches to began to leak at the seams. It was a small leak at first then the more I used it the worse it got with water spraying all over and no longer having pressure in the tip. I would buy one again if I could return this one and could be assured it wasn't an ongoing problem.

I've used one of these for several years now and really like it. It is so convenient.
Really helps get things that flossing might have missed.You should still floss also.
Man it was much cheaper on ebay when I bought mine. Dont see one for sale there now.

I purchased this magnetic irrigator a couple of weeks ago at Amazon and am very happy that I did. It works as described in product specifications, and the patented magnetic technology helps to remove plaque and tartar, just like the Hydrofloss machine, which has higher cost and more difficult upkeep than this device. Highly recommended to all those who care about dental hygiene. Installation is easy as pie on most standard faucets.

This product is brilliant. I wish I had it long ago. However, if you have a fancy sink faucet it will not fit on it. Also, the plastic adaptor that is included with the kit is useless. I had to buy a metal adaptor immediately to make this work. The plastic one just didn't even hang on to the threads of the faucet.

I've had my Glacier Floss for only a week, but am thoroughly impressed so far. I purchased it after yet another WaterPik WP-60W Personal Dental Water Jet System broke (I've gone through several), and I was looking for an alternative to a countertop model. I looked at some of the other faucet-based oral irrigators (e.g., RediBreeze, Oral Irrigator), but decided on the Glacier Floss instead because of its magnet. I may write an update to this review after my dentist appointment, if he comments on any reduced plaque or tartar.

I like the lack of a reservoir - not having one makes it so easy to use, and more sanitary. Even though there is no pulsation, the pressure actually seems stronger than the WaterPik. I use it in conjunction with dental floss, and my teeth feel great afterwards.

The product was also easy to install, and there are no leaks so far. Finally, there is NO taste of recycled plastic from this product as another reviewer noted. I would definitely purchase it again.

Got this to use in the other bathroom - my pulsating irrigator makes a lot of noise and has been known to wake people in the house up. This is soundless-works great but does feel different since it is a steady stream and not pulses. I give give it pluses - the only con is the attacment that fits into the faucet is about 2 inches. My faucet was low in the sink basin to begin with and how there is only 5 inches clearance between the faucet and sink bottom. This would not deter me from purchasing this item again. I would change the faucet out rather than not have this item. I also got mine on eBay for much less $$ and shipping.

I use this for the first time, and really satisfied with the performance. Like it a lot because no power needed to operate, unlike any other waterpik, for the water pressure adjustment simply turn the faucet for pressure preference. Very cool.

This is probably the most effective oral irrigator I have ever seen and so easy to use. It connects so easily to the faucet and it seems so much more hygienic than others who use water containers. This water is fresh from the faucet. I believe these magnets really are helping to remove plaque and my dentist said my teeth look the best they have in a long time. It is a nicely made product and not just a hose connected to a tip as some of the others being offered. I have added one to my children's bathroom and they use it regularly and it is especially good with my daughters braces. Even added one to the guest bedroom bathroom. AAA+++

this product would have received 5 stars if the adapter had worked better. the only way i could get it to attach to my faucet was to purchase a thinner washer to use with the adapter. as mentioned in an earlier review the plastic threads would not gain purchase.
maybe the magnets in this oral irrigator increase it's efficiency, but who knows? how could anyone possibly measure the results? my guess is that it's just a unsubstantiated claim.
in general this is a good product that works very well. it will remove any food particles and will leave your teeth and gums healthy. just purchase the 25 cent washer to attach the unit.
