Customer Reviews of Oral-B Humming Bird Power Flosser
Customer Review: Great dental hygiene product
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using Oral-B's Hummingbird daily for a few years now, and it has greatly helped with the all-necessary but dreaded flossing (using any other kind of floss just seems ridiculous after using the Hummngbird). Regular use means that I haven't had to visit my dentist for anything more serious than my semiannual check-up and cleaning for the past years, so I know it works greatly. Also, it's very small and easy to carry around, so I never leave for vacation without one. I used to have a waterpick flosser, but obviously couldn't carry it around with me; so nowadays, I only use the Hummingbird.
The only problem I've had with it is that I seem to go through one flosser per year or two, as they are somewhat fragile: one just stopped working (due to calcium concentrations on the mechanism that were the result of the rubber water-tightening coating leaking), and one had the head snap off as I was removing a flosser. Still, for that price replacing them is not really an issue, so I highly recommend this to anyone caring about their dental hygiene!
Customer Review: Finally, I actually find myself flossing for once!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've got a problem. I just don't like flossing. For years, my dentist has been warning me that I need to floss more, and it just doesn't happen. I try. I really do, but it is just so difficult to make a proper habit of it.
With the Oral-B Humming bird, and specifically with it's "pick" attachment, I actually find myself flossing regularly, and the dentist has noticed as well!
I can just keep it on the side-table next to the couch, and as I am either reading or watching TV it is very easy to uncap it and floss my teeth and give my gums a workout.
For me, the picks seem to last quite a while. I just switched in a new pick, having used the first pick for over a year.
I've noticed that the Oral-B website no longer seems to list this product (but search engines can still find the page inside the site), so I'm a little concerned that perhaps it is no longer being made, so I've picked up a few extras, as well as a bunch of picks so it should last me for a while.
Customer Review: Easy Flossing
Summary: 5 Stars
The gaps between my teeth are VERY tight. When I use conventional floss I only manage to get through a couple of gaps before my teeth cause the floss to fray and break (usually leaving floss fibers wedged between my teeth). Most power flossers on the market are expensive but the Humming Bird Power Flosser is very economical. The vibrating effect enhances the cleaning performance and helps the floss glide between my teeth without breaking. The angle of the head allows me to comfortably reach ALL my teeth ~ even those in back. The affordable price tag + the superior performance + the comfort = (here's the good part) I'm now able to floss regularly. I bought mine in a store years ago but when I found refill floss heads at Amazon (also inexpensive) I also found the flosser starter kit listed and my wife wanted one of her own.Customer Review: Who needs an electric flosser? Everyone!
Summary: 5 Stars
We all know what electric toothbrushes do. They brush for you. So what does a flosser do when you put a battery and a little motor in it?
Well, if you're like me and your teeth are packed pretty tightly together, flossing usually means wrapping floss tightly around your fingers, pressing hard up between your tight teeth in a sawing motion, and finally having that little thread pop through and whip your gums.
The hummingbird saves your fingers from strangulation, and the vibration makes the floss slip right through even the tightest spaces.
I was skeptical about vibrating razors too, and now hate shaving without one.
And honestly, it's insanely cheap, if nothing else, use it to round out a $25 order for free shipping ;)
Customer Review: hummingbirds- why did they stop making them????
Summary: 5 Stars
Oral B Hummingbird Flosser Starter Kit Unit, Assorted Colors (Pack of 3) Great product!! I had gum surgery a couple of years ago and bought one after seeing the ad on the "gift bag" from the surgeon. I started using them and have completely eliminated the "pockets" from my gums and am getting excellent checkups. I tried to buy them at the local stores and discoved they had apparently been discontinued so I hit the internet. What a shame- I guess not for internet sales but I can't believe local stores no longer carry them. I'm not alone, I've given the internet information to friends, who are now also buying on line.
