A quiet, gentle countertop alternative to Waterpik with a 550 ml tank and 10 intensities. Its nozzles don't rotate and cost more, it slides on the counter, and 17% of its relatively few Amazon ratings are 1-2 stars.
Top complaints
- Breaks within months
Amazon's review summary says reliability is mixed and durability is a concern, with units breaking after 3 months or burning out after 6. It also says shoppers consider it not worth the cost. 13% of ratings are 1-star.
- Fixed nozzle and pricier refills
Electric Teeth notes the nozzle doesn't rotate and replacement nozzles cost about $7.50, roughly $2.50 more than Waterpik's. The warranty is 2 years, one less than Waterpik's.
Source: Electric Teeth - Slides around and sprays until docked
Electric Teeth found the unit slipped on the counter when buttons were pressed and the smooth dial was hard to turn with wet hands. Water keeps spraying until the handle is docked, and the hose sometimes doesn't coil back.
What owners love
- Quiet at low settings
Electric Teeth measured about 52-54 dB at level 1, roughly 20 dB quieter than most rivals, rising to 71-73 dB at level 10. Amazon shoppers call it super quiet.
- Gentle on gums
Good Housekeeping named it best gentle: its tester found it less powerful than other devices but gentle on the gums, with 10 intensities and two modes.
Source: Good Housekeeping - Large tank that's easy to remove
The 550 ml tank lasted Electric Teeth's tester about 2 days per fill, and Good Housekeeping found it easy to remove for filling and cleaning.

What experts say
- Electric Teeth: Runner-up countertop flosser (the review gives it 5/5): stylish, quiet at low pressure, with a pacer. The nozzle doesn't rotate, refills cost more, and the warranty is shorter than Waterpik's.
- Good Housekeeping: Best gentle pick, with one of the largest tanks tested; less powerful than other devices.
