Inside, the hydrofloss is equipped with a 130 ml water reservoir .
This model has two pumps for supplying liquid - water and air , which serves as a pressure amplifier and gently massages the gums.
Keep in mind! In addition, the device has several water supply modes:
- Jet – maximum pressure, with which it is easy to clean the gum pocket and food debris.
- Regular air in – a jet with micro-bubbles of air designed to cleanse the oral cavity and massage the gums.
- Soft air in – mode for sensitive teeth and gums.
You need to start cleansing the oral cavity with the soft Soft air in mode and gradually move on to stronger ones.
Press the button located at the bottom of the irrigator body until the green indicator next to the name of the selected mode lights up.
Replaceable nozzles rotate 360 degrees , which allows you to avoid turning the entire irrigator during the procedure.
Note! The device has an ergonomic design and is available in three colors: blue, white and silver.

Irrigator Panasonic EW 1211: negative reviews
According to most consumers, the Panasonic EW 1211 does not have too many disadvantages. However, it still has disadvantages. For example, many buyers don’t really like the fact that the indicator color of this device does not change to green when charging. Because of this, it is very difficult to determine the time when the device should be disconnected from the network. At its strongest charge, this irrigator, according to many consumers, produces too powerful jets.
Panasonic EW 1211 devices also have one more indirect drawback. The fact is that shipments delivered to Russia may contain defective products.
Some consumers also attribute the disadvantages of Panasonic EW 1211 irrigators to their rather high cost. The price of such a device, depending on the supplier, can be 4,500-8,000 thousand rubles.

User reviews
Below are some customer reviews. If you have something to say, leave your feedback in the comments below the article, it will be useful to our readers.
This is my second year wearing braces and I carefully monitor the condition of my teeth, so I took the purchase of an irrigator with all responsibility.
After studying the characteristics and consulting with the dentist, I chose one of the new models of portable irrigators.
I liked the Panasonic EW 1211A for its build quality and the presence of three water supply modes.
To clean the bracket system, I use a jet of air microbubbles. It cleans the structure without damaging it, and also gently massages the gums.
Model EW 1211A is a good option for those who are using an irrigator for the first time. The device is easy to use and does not require additional skills.
It cleans really well, but the volume of the water tank is so small that you have to add liquid 3 times during one procedure.
The battery charge lasts for 10 days of regular use. The jet pressure is good if you clean the oral cavity in the Jet mode, the other modes are rather weak for me.
I have known the Panasonic brand for a long time and trust it. It is for this reason that I chose the EW 1211A irrigator.
I have been using the device for two months and during this time there have been noticeable changes: my gums no longer bleed, tartar has begun to dissolve and the unpleasant odor has disappeared.
The irrigator is quite compact and can even fit into a cosmetic bag.
There is one minus: during the procedure it is necessary to add water, since one volume of the reservoir is not enough to fully clean the oral cavity.
Before purchasing the Panasonic EW 1211A, I used a stationary irrigator, but because of its bulkiness, I decided to change to a portable one.
It does an excellent job of cleaning; toothpicks and flosses are not needed after irrigation.
Advantages: powerful jet pressure, contactless charging, mode with air bubbles for gum massage, as well as the compactness of the device and ergonomic design.
Disadvantages: only two nozzles included, small volume of water container, overpriced.
Is it convenient to use?
Judging by consumer reviews, the Panasonic EW 1211 is very easy to use. In terms of ease of use, this irrigator is inferior to stationary models only in terms of the volume of water poured. Unfortunately, his tank is not very large. In the process of brushing teeth and mouth, the owner sometimes has to add water several times.
Another disadvantage of the device in comparison with stationary models is its weight. The design of the Panasonic EW 1211 includes, among other things, a battery. Stationary models do not have such an addition, and therefore they weigh less.
The main advantage of the device in comparison with stationary models is, of course, its mobility. Even in an apartment, such a device is often convenient to use. After all, not all bathrooms have 220 V sockets.
