According to our electric flosser expert
The Philips Sonicare Airfloss Ultra HX8462/01 is the most advanced Airfloss set. In addition to the Airfloss Ultra, you also receive an automatic filling and charging dock. This dock not only charges the flossing device, but also fills it with water or mouthwash at the same time, which means the Airfloss is always ready for use, whenever you want. Other than that, the set also consists of 2 spray heads, so you can also easily share it with your partner or family member.

I've been trying to establish good flossing habits for years, if only to avoid the annual scraping and filing at the dentist. With a regular floss I always quickly fell back to a few times a week because it was always such a hassle. I was therefore especially looking forward to the ease of use of the AirFloss Ultra.
At the first acquaintance, the size of the whole is especially striking. Even without a charging station, the AirFloss Ultra is a hefty boy, which easily puts my electric toothbrush in the shade. Even with the quick start guide in hand, it took a while to find out exactly how to use the thing. Especially getting the water from the large reservoir into the handset I couldn't get out right away.
Once you understand how it works, the AirFloss Ultra is very easy to use. Unlike with the floss, with which I soon skipped the back teeth, I now treat all teeth every time. Both morning and evening, every day.
To clean between your teeth, you can choose from a single water blast, a double, or three in a row. I always use the latter setting, with the idea that more is always better. And I'm done in less than a minute. Two mouthpieces came with the AirFloss Ultra, but it's not entirely clear to me when you need to replace them. You will notice this immediately with the heads of an electric toothbrush.
Whether the AirFloss Ultra is also efficient is of course a little less easy to find out. In the beginning I occasionally had some problems with bleeding gums after the treatment, but that is now over. That can be a good sign. I will have to wait for my next dental visit for the real verdict. If there is really a noticeable difference, then the AirFloss Ultra is definitely recommended thanks to its ease of use. You don't skip flossing anymore. And if that means the dentist can keep his instruments in his pocket, that's a great achievement.

I already had an Airfloss, but it once kissed the floor and leaked at the point where you click the tips (those straws or attachments) into the device. Then I used it again in the shower and he didn't like it. He did nothing more. So looking for a new one...
That's how I ended up with this model. It was a second chance, but second chances also deserve a second chance, so ordered. A day later, the postman was already standing on the doorstep with the familiar pink, er blue box.
To my surprise, this Airfloss looked exactly like my old one, so the design must be ok. However, it differs in a few points. One of them is the super handy refill station. That one is really handy. No more messing around with a freshly opened bottle of mouthwash, which is way too full, so that when you refill the Airfloss, through the much too small hole, you pour half of it next to it. Now place the Airfloss in the holder and press it against the refill station. This causes the Airfloss to bubble full and when it is full, the refill station automatically stops. What an invention. A must for the Airlosser!
A second difference with my old Airfloss is the puff adjustability. Yes, you can set that. One, two or three puffs of mouthwash between your teeth. This Airfloss also puffs a little less hard than my old one, which I do like.
And then the downside. Well, not really a downside, but Philips provides other tips (attachments) with this Airfloss. The cup of the old tips looked something like this: }. That excellent point fell exactly between your picks. The new one is just fall, so it takes a while to feel when it's in the right place. No, you can't see that by air releasing with your mouth open, because then the mirror will be under the mouthwash in no time.
Conclusion: I'm happy with this new purchase! It does what it's supposed to do and much more than that. Another top tip: your Sonicare toothbrush also fits on the charger. Saves some space on the sink.

In a year and a half, I am now working on the third Sonicare Airfloss Ultra. Durability and price-quality moderate.
