The Instafloss is a unique product that I backed on Kickstarter and have had for about a year now. It’s like a Waterpik (water flosser) but is much faster. It can put out an impressive amount of water in those 10 seconds. I chose to receive one of the early models; it had an issue with the tank valve leaking, but they sent me a new one free of charge and that fixed the issue. They have also sent me new mouthpiece prototypes to try. These guys have had some trouble with ramping up production like many startups, but they are really trying to get it right, and I think they have something here with this product.
What a waste of time and money this thing is. I backed their Kickstarter all the way back in 2020 and only just received it last week, five years later. Unfortunately, it's utter garbage. One of the mouthpieces won't even stay in the tube - as soon as you turn it on it pops out and water gushes everywhere. If that were the only issue, that's fixable. But unfortunately, even at the highest pressure, the water pressure from the device does absolutely nothing to floss your teeth. Do not bother with this thing.
Instafloss is the worst thing I’ve ever bought on the internet. After waiting 3 years for it between purchase and delivery, it finally arrived last month and to say I’m underwhelmed is an understatement. It looks cheap, feels cheap, and parts were loose and falling off as soon as it came out of the box. All that could be forgiven if it worked well, but alas, it is about as effective as swishing some water around in your mouth for a few seconds. Save yourself the money and disappointment and just buy a waterpik. At least it will work.
Like many other reviews here, I had an earlier model but customer service was excellent in resolving it. Despite the early production problems, they have now come out with a model that does everything it's supposed to. I hate string flossing and was not consistent at it. The Instafloss is so ridiculously simple and gets the job done. It's a pleasant experience and I love how clean my teeth feel afterwards. It wasn't mentioned in their advertising, but my teeth are whiter. The REAL test is the great report from my dental hygienist who has reduced the frequency of my professional cleanings.
So far they are designing a valve 3.0 and keep delaying shipment, it has been over 4 months. I left a bad review and they deleted that section of their website and on their presence on the judge.me website is gone also, so we will see if it comes thru or if a civil class action lawsuit will be needed.
I have the updated version of the Instafloss. I've noticed all bad reviews are the early ones who agreed to be beta testers ...I guess they didn't understand that they were supposed to give feedback for the final version. I LOVE MY INSTAFLOSS. But don't take it from me: I went to my dental hygienist after using the Instafloss for 2 months and she said that my gums are healthier than they've ever been. The data doesn't lie. THANK YOU INSTAFLOSS
I was one of the first to receive an Instafloss unit, and I have to say, my initial experience was mixed. The unit I received had a couple of issues right out of the box, which was disappointing. However, the customer service team went above and beyond to address my concerns. They were incredibly responsive and promptly sent me a replacement unit. The new unit works perfectly, and I'm now a huge fan of Instafloss. The instructions are simple, and the flossing experience is enjoyable. I used to dread flossing, but now I find myself looking forward to it every day. The unit is slightly larger than my old water flosser, but it fits well on my counter and doesn't take up much space. The motor noise is comparable to other water flossers, which gives a sense of power as I floss. Overall, despite the rocky start, Instafloss has proven to be a fantastic addition to my mornig routine. In fact, I have a dental visit in a couple weeks and I'm eager to see what they say about my oral health! The customer service alone makes it worth trying, and I'm glad I stuck with it through the initial hiccups. Highly recommended!
Instafloss has finally gotten me to floss. The instructions are simple and the floss feels very good. I now floss 3x a day and actually look forward to it. The unit is slightly larger than my old waterpik (which I never used because it was annoying) but that's ok because the footprint on my counter is roughly the same. It has a motor noise, which all water flossers due, I guess, so you can imagine the feeling of power as you floss. I was one of the kickstarter backers and I waited many years for this and I'm glad it finally arrived. I'm also glad I wasn't the first to get it -- in the Kickstarter comments, it seems that the first batch of units people got were defective, which sucks, but they gave refunds. I chose to wait until the 3rd batch of units went out and I'm not experiencing any of the issues reported by the first batch (and a little by the 2nd batch). It seems like it was a rocky start for them, but it's worth the wait!!
I think it's great! Really helps me and my family stay on top of our oral health.
