'Better than a Waterpik': This cordless flosser is down to $30 (nearly 40% off)

Get that fresh-from-the-dentist feel with this compact gizmo — it has 3 modes for de-gunking your teeth and gums.

Nothing beats leaving the dentist after a cleaning, when you feel like your teeth are newer, glossier and healthier than they've ever been. One of the best ways to mimic that feeling at home is to use an efficient water flosser — and we've found a popular model from Nicwell on sale for just $30. It'll keep your teeth and gums looking great, and potentially help save you a bundle down the road on dental work you've deftly avoided.

We're not just stringing you along: More than 32,000 shoppers have tossed their traditional floss and given this gadget a five-star review.

Why is this a good deal? 💰

Good oral care is important, but you can't go to the dentist every day for a fresh smile — and you definitely don't want to go to the dentist for more involved work stemming from cavities or gum disease. High-quality water flossers tend to be on the pricier side, including this one (when it's not on sale). Luckily, you can score savings right now and improve your oral health. The black and white versions of the Nicwell flosser are $30 — both down from $48.

Why do I need this? 🤔

If you're not familiar with water flossers, here's a quick rundown: They spray a steady stream of water at your teeth and gums to remove food, filmy buildup and stains. Nicwell's delivers between 30 and 110 PSI, removing up to 99.99% of the gunk lurking on and between your teeth.

The Nicwell's 200-milliliter reservoir means you can irrigate for up to 50 seconds, enough time to reach all those nooks and crannies. Flip between three modes: clean, which delivers 1,800 water pulses a minute to get small particles between your choppers; soft, with 1,400 water pulses a minute for sensitive teeth; and massage, which delivers between 1,400 and 1,800 pulses per minute for deep cleaning and gum stimulation.

The unit is cordless and lightweight, and it features standard jet tips, a tongue-scraping tip and an orthodontic tip to give you plenty of cleaning variety. It has ample power too: You can use this handy tool for 30 days before it needs to be recharged.

What reviewers say 💬

This water flosser has an army of fans (over 32,000, to give an idea), with many swearing it's every bit as effective as That Other Brand.

Pros 👍

"Great device for cleaning plaque in between teeth at/under the gum line," said a happy customer. "Works better than a Waterpik. [It] holds more water, is rechargeable, [and] more powerful. I use it in the shower nightly."

"I noticed right away that my gums needed this," wrote a fellow fan. "The battery holds for a long time and it is lightweight and easy to store. When I am done, I just take off the tip and store it so others can use it. No absolute cleaning required."

"I bought this after I fractured my jaw and had it wired shut. I cannot brush the bottom or inner surfaces of my teeth and I was concerned," explained a final five-star reviewer. "It doesn't do anything for the tartar build-up on the parts of my teeth it cannot reach, but I am still pleased with what it can do right now. I plan to continue to use it once my jaw is no longer wired shut."

Cons 👎

This gizmo didn't go the long haul for a few users. "When I first got this, it worked great!" said one. "However, a couple days ago, it just shut off randomly. Even after charging it overnight it still wouldn't turn on."

"I liked that it worked great for a year," revealed another. "But even with vigilant battery care (ensuring it remained between 20%-80% charge as much as possible), it wouldn't hold a charge anymore after a year."
