We all know what electric toothbrushes do. They brush for you. So what does a flosser do when you put a battery and a little motor in it?

Well, if you're like me and your teeth are packed pretty tightly together, flossing usually means wrapping floss tightly around your fingers, pressing hard up between your tight teeth in a sawing motion, and finally having that little thread pop through and whip your gums.

The hummingbird saves your fingers from strangulation, and the vibration makes the floss slip right through even the tightest spaces.

I was skeptical about vibrating razors too, and now hate shaving without one.

And honestly, it's insanely cheap, if nothing else, use it to round out a $25 order for free shipping ;)

Oral B Hummingbird Flosser Starter Kit Unit, Assorted Colors (Pack of 3) Great product!! I had gum surgery a couple of years ago and bought one after seeing the ad on the "gift bag" from the surgeon. I started using them and have completely eliminated the "pockets" from my gums and am getting excellent checkups. I tried to buy them at the local stores and discoved they had apparently been discontinued so I hit the internet. What a shame- I guess not for internet sales but I can't believe local stores no longer carry them. I'm not alone, I've given the internet information to friends, who are now also buying on line.

The dentist recommended the hummingbird since I have arthritis so bad I find it hard to thread floss under bridges. The picks do the job real good. The humming bird came shortly after I ordered it and the price was right.

Have used this product for years and find that for me, it is the absolutely best way to floss effectively. My dental appts. are now favorable after years with gum disease. When my original Hummingbird broke and I realized that I could not find it in our drug stores, target, etc., I was truly distressed. However, I took a chance that Amazon might lead me in the right direction.

My only complaint is that the refills are horrendously expensive.

the battery that came installed in the product was corroded. as a result, the product is non functional as it was damaged by the chemical secreted from the baterry. i recommend when packaging the product, do not preinstall the battery.
one of the floss head came with a broken thread.
better quality checks should be perform before the product is placed on the retail market.

The flosser never worked properly from the moment it arrived. The installed battery had badly corroded, and, despite cleaning the contacts with alcohol and installing a new battery, it still would not function.

Takes the drudge out of flossing...works fast with flosser adaptor daily. Also the pick attachment removes food residue that sometimes lodges in between teeth.
I'm amazed, however, at the way way way over normal price!....go to your popular W drug store website and save lots of 'greens' ;)

I hated flossing before I bought this. I still don't love to floss, but this flosser makes it tolerable. I always had problems getting in between my molars and wisdom teeth with regular floss, but this flosser makes it easier to clean back there. Shipping was fast, and so far no problems with it. I've owned it for a couple of months now, and it's still going strong with the original battery. The only problem I have with it is that it did not come with the mentioned picks. It only came with three flossing replacement heads. Besides that, it's a wonderful product.

The gaps between my teeth are VERY tight. When I use conventional floss I only manage to get through a couple of gaps before my teeth cause the floss to fray and break (usually leaving floss fibers wedged between my teeth). Most power flossers on the market are expensive but the Humming Bird Power Flosser is very economical. The vibrating effect enhances the cleaning performance and helps the floss glide between my teeth without breaking. The angle of the head allows me to comfortably reach ALL my teeth ~ even those in back. The affordable price tag + the superior performance + the comfort = (here's the good part) I'm now able to floss regularly. I bought mine in a store years ago but when I found refill floss heads at Amazon (also inexpensive) I also found the flosser starter kit listed and my wife wanted one of her own.

I have a oxyfresh water pic which is probably the best in the market. But I travel quite a bit and this is ideal for travel. Oral B always makes good products. I thought I was getting a floss refill pack but instead I got a pik refill set, no big deal. This is no replacement for a real water Pik but perfect for on the go or in the car between stoplights.
