Model features
For your information! The Japanese company Panasonic has been producing household appliances and electronic goods for 100 years and is one of the most successful corporations in the world.
Stationary and portable irrigators from Panasonic are compact in size.
However, they carry out a high-quality hygienic procedure, cleaning hard-to-reach areas from pathogenic bacteria.
The Panasonic EW 1211A portable waterproof irrigator is one of the company's latest developments .
The device is made of high-quality material and has a comfortable anatomical shape.
The body of the device expands at the bottom, so it can be stored like a regular toothbrush - in a vertical position.
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.
After purchasing the Panasonic EW 1211A irrigator, you must charge it, otherwise the device will not work. The first charge lasts at least 15 hours.
Advantages
The model refers to portable devices
, which in itself is a great advantage, since it significantly expands the possibilities of its use. However, in addition to this, the device has a number of advantages due to its design features and quality.
- The convenient shape of the case is complemented by silicone inserts of a special configuration, which do not allow the device to slip and facilitate its use.
- Unlike many other portable models, the EW 1211 has three different operating modes, which expands the functionality of the device.
- Different characteristics of operating modes - from soft to intense influence - allow you to quickly get used to the effects of the device.
- Very high jet pulsation rates - up to 1.4 thousand per minute.
- The design allows you to mount the charger to the wall, so it will not take up useful space.
- The device operates using rechargeable batteries, the charge of which lasts for almost two weeks.
- Double pump technology allows for greater efficiency of the device to use two types of influence simultaneously - with the usual specialized liquid, as well as with air. This increases work efficiency.
For objectivity, it is also necessary to voice the shortcomings of the model. However, upon careful search, it becomes clear that the only drawback, in fact, is that this device does not have a very large liquid reservoir.
It contains only 130 ml of liquid. For high-quality and complete cleaning of the oral cavity, it is often necessary to fill it a second time.

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.
