Water flosser

Hi. Can anyone recommend or give advice on water flossers. I hadn't ever heard of this until my dentist said I need one.

    I've had one of these since June this year as I don't have mains power in my bathroom. Used it twice a day and I've recharged it about 5 times using the USB-C charger. Has 5 different levels of power and is easy to fill. My hygienist recommended adding 1/4 capful of mouthwash (I use listerine advanced defence gum treatment) and after 4 weeks she was very impressed with the improvement to my gums.

    I was gifted one of those years ago. It lasted about a week then stopped working entirely, so I claimed on the warranty and they sent me a replacement. It lasted a week too, so I just gave up on them.

    I have a Philips one. I actually find the floss picks most effective and easier to use. My dentist says my gums much better since using them since January. The water floss is easier for the back ones so I might mix it up. I think I saw a YouTube video that manual flossing was better than water ones. I cannot use floss tape. Have you used floss sticks before?
