Irrigator Panasonic EW 1211: negative reviews

According to most consumers, the Panasonic EW 1211 does not have too many disadvantages. However, it still has disadvantages. For example, many buyers don’t really like the fact that the indicator color of this device does not change to green when charging. Because of this, it is very difficult to determine the time when the device should be disconnected from the network. At its strongest charge, this irrigator, according to many consumers, produces too powerful jets.

Panasonic EW 1211 devices also have one more indirect drawback. The fact is that shipments delivered to Russia may contain defective products.

Some consumers also attribute the disadvantages of Panasonic EW 1211 irrigators to their rather high cost. The price of such a device, depending on the supplier, can be 4,500-8,000 thousand rubles.

What attachments are included?

The kit includes two standard color-coded attachments .
They thoroughly clean the areas between the teeth from plaque and food debris and also massage the gums well .

Suitable for cleaning corrective appliances and dentures.

Nozzles need to be changed once every 3 months.

If you have a special sterilizer , you need to purchase new attachments every 6 months .

Remember! If the device is used incorrectly, the nozzles may become clogged.

To prevent this from happening, the Panasonic EW 1211A must be filled with water purified from impurities , without adding tooth powders or pastes to it.

Is it convenient to use?

Judging by consumer reviews, the Panasonic EW 1211 is very easy to use. In terms of ease of use, this irrigator is inferior to stationary models only in terms of the volume of water poured. Unfortunately, his tank is not very large. In the process of brushing teeth and mouth, the owner sometimes has to add water several times.

Another disadvantage of the device in comparison with stationary models is its weight. The design of the Panasonic EW 1211 includes, among other things, a battery. Stationary models do not have such an addition, and therefore they weigh less.

The main advantage of the device in comparison with stationary models is, of course, its mobility. Even in an apartment, such a device is often convenient to use. After all, not all bathrooms have 220 V sockets.

Instructions for use

Instructions for using the device include several points:

  1. Make sure there is a battery.
  2. Open the water tank located on the bottom of the device.
  3. Pour in the liquid and close the valve tightly.
  4. Turn on the device.
  5. Lean over the sink and insert the hydrofloss nozzle into your mouth. Place the tip of the nozzle against the teeth and slowly move the nozzle along the gum line , cleaning each tooth in turn.
  6. If necessary, add liquid.
  7. After completing irrigation, turn off the device .
  8. Pour out water from the tank if there is any left.
  9. When using treatment solutions or rinses, rinse the water container.

Equipment

In addition to the charger, this irrigator, as already mentioned, comes with two attachments. Changing them does not have any effect on the functionality of the device. They have exactly the same shape and design. They are necessary so that two family members can use the irrigator.

The attachments, as well as the body of the device, are made of high-quality plastic. Each of them has rings of different colors. They are necessary so that family members do not confuse their attachments. One of the rings is usually colored blue, and the other red.

The device itself comes in a white plastic case with bright blue overlays. The manufacturer also produces other color variations of this device. But they are practically never found on the domestic market.

Contraindications

  • severe bleeding gums;
  • presence of an installed pacemaker ;

  • postoperative period;
  • the first weeks after installation of braces ;

  2. Do not wash the device in hot water whose temperature exceeds 50 degrees.
  3. Pour out the liquid remaining inside the water tank.
  4. Use a soft, dry cloth and non-abrasive detergent to clean the device.

User reviews

Below are some customer reviews. If you have something to say, leave your feedback in the comments below the article, it will be useful to our readers.

This is my second year wearing braces and I carefully monitor the condition of my teeth, so I took the purchase of an irrigator with all responsibility.

After studying the characteristics and consulting with the dentist, I chose one of the new models of portable irrigators.

I liked the Panasonic EW 1211A for its build quality and the presence of three water supply modes.

To clean the bracket system, I use a jet of air microbubbles. It cleans the structure without damaging it, and also gently massages the gums.

Model EW 1211A is a good option for those who are using an irrigator for the first time. The device is easy to use and does not require additional skills.

It cleans really well, but the volume of the water tank is so small that you have to add liquid 3 times during one procedure.

The battery charge lasts for 10 days of regular use. The jet pressure is good if you clean the oral cavity in the Jet mode, the other modes are rather weak for me.

I have known the Panasonic brand for a long time and trust it. It is for this reason that I chose the EW 1211A irrigator.

I have been using the device for two months and during this time there have been noticeable changes: my gums no longer bleed, tartar has begun to dissolve and the unpleasant odor has disappeared.

The irrigator is quite compact and can even fit into a cosmetic bag.

There is one minus: during the procedure it is necessary to add water, since one volume of the reservoir is not enough to fully clean the oral cavity.

Before purchasing the Panasonic EW 1211A, I used a stationary irrigator, but because of its bulkiness, I decided to change to a portable one.

It does an excellent job of cleaning; toothpicks and flosses are not needed after irrigation.

Advantages: powerful jet pressure, contactless charging, mode with air bubbles for gum massage, as well as the compactness of the device and ergonomic design.

Disadvantages: only two nozzles included, small volume of water container, overpriced.

Design

EW1211 pleases not only with its capabilities, but also with its stylish, convenient design. The irrigator is quite compact, so it will not take up much space on the shelf (the height of the main unit is only 197 mm, width - 59). In addition, the irrigator is equipped with a convenient and ergonomic design that is comfortable to hold in your hand. The design itself is lightweight, so even when it is completely filled with water, it is practically not felt.

The irrigator also comes with a charging stand that can be fixed on the wall. It’s very convenient, because this way you save space on surfaces. Another bonus is that the irrigator comes with two nozzles, which means you can purchase one set for two people. Very beneficial for a family or couple.
