Great flosser for a first…

Context:
After having several dental issues (including root canals), I have recently begun taking my oral health a lot more seriously (for my general health and also my wallet). Before using this power flosser, I used manual string floss on a daily basis and had reasonably good dental health that I wanted to maintain if not improve.
Aesthetics:
Being new to oral irrigators, I didn't know it would be so big, though after understanding how it works the size made more sense. The unit comes with a decently sized water tank (about the size of a tissue box), the actual power flosser (which is the size of an electric toothbrush), and some different heads for the flosser.
Usage:
Having water being shot into my mouth via a high-pressure device was quite confronting initially, but after testing it (directed at the sink) and going from the gentlest pressure to a comfortable pressure, I found the flosser quite easy to use.
It does seem to clean my teeth a little better than a manual flosser, since I feel like there's a little more flexibility in how I'm directing the water at my teeth. It also works like an electric toothbrush, where you are prompted after a specific amount of time to change to a different area of the mouth.
I think the only pit fall is that the water splashes everywhere. Not too much of a big deal and expected since it is a high pressure stream of water that is being directed at your teeth, and perhaps it's just user error (that I'll figure out as I continue to use the product).
Overall:
Overall, a useful product as a part of a good dental routine. Along with my electric toothbrush, this oral irrigator is a nice new addition to ensure I don't need any more root canals in the near future...
