Philips Sonicare Cordless Power Flosser 3000 in Black (HX3826/33). A cordless water flosser with Quad Stream technology — cleans between teeth and below the gumline, with 2 modes, 3 pressures and up to 40 days per charge****.
Who it's for. Anyone who finds string floss fiddly or easy to skip, including braces and implant wearers. Good if you travel (USB charge + pouch) or share a bathroom (whisper-quiet, IPX7). Sensitive gums can start on the lowest pressure and step up over a week or two.
In the box: 1 × Cordless Power Flosser 3000 (Black), 1 × F3 Quad Stream nozzle, 1 × F1 Standard nozzle, USB-A charging cable, USB-A wall adapter, travel pouch.
Philips 90-day money-back guarantee. Philips offers a 90-day money-back guarantee on eligible NZ purchases of this model (Power Flosser (cordless)). See Philips NZ terms.
Quad Stream: up to 99% plaque below the gumline*

Philips says the X-shaped Quad Stream tip sends four gentle streams into pockets up to 6mm below the gumline and removes up to 99% of plaque there*. It covers more area than a classic jet tip******, so you spend less effort fishing for each gap.
Aim the tip at the gumline at about 90°, glide slowly along each tooth, then pause briefly between teeth. Lean over the sink — it will splash a little at first until you find your angle.

Healthier gums in 2 weeks**

Philips says Quad Stream is up to 2× as effective as interdental brushes at removing plaque**, and improves gum health in just 2 weeks** (US clinical study, 372 subjects). Best results come from once a day after brushing — not as a substitute for brushing.
Tips if gums bleed at first: start on the lowest pressure, keep sessions short, and give it a few days. Mild bleeding often settles as gums get healthier; if it doesn't, talk to your dentist.
How to use modes and pressures

- Clean — steady pressure for everyday flossing. A full tank lasts about 60 seconds in this mode***.
- Deep Clean — Pulse Wave pulses that guide you tooth to tooth so you don't race through one side.
Three pressure settings. New to water flossing? Use Low for a few days, then Medium. High is for when gums are used to it or for stubborn debris.
QuadPacer pauses the water every 15 seconds so you move to the next quadrant — aim for all four corners of the mouth in one fill.

Filling the 250ml tank

- Twist the tank off, or leave it on and fill via the side fill port
- Use lukewarm water (not hot). Mouthwash can be mixed in if you prefer — rinse the tank after
- 250ml is enough for a full Clean-mode session without stopping***
- After use: empty leftover water and leave the fill port open so the tank dries
2 tips, 360° reach

- F3 Quad Stream — thorough yet gentle, including below the gumline (start here most days)
- F1 Standard — focused jet for stubborn food between teeth
Both click on/off and rotate up to 360° for back teeth. Pull straight to remove; don't twist hard. Only F1 / F2 / F3 Power Flosser nozzles fit this model.
Braces, implants and sensitive gums

Philips says Quad Stream works well around braces and brackets — move the tip in small gentle circles to clear wire and bracket edges. Helpful for implants and bridges too, where string floss is awkward.
- Braces: Low/Medium pressure, Quad Stream tip, slow circles along the wire
- Sensitive gums: Low pressure, shorter sessions, build up over 1–2 weeks
- Implants/bridges: angle under the gumline carefully; ask your clinician if unsure
Charging and travel

Up to 40 days per full charge**** (about 1 minute a day). Charge with the USB-A cable and wall adapter. Multi-voltage for overseas travel.
- Illuminated battery icon shows status
- Auto shut-off after 2 minutes — safer in a bag
- IPX7 water-resistant for the bathroom (still empty the tank before packing)
- Travel pouch keeps the handle and nozzles from scratching other gear

Nozzle care and cleaning

- Rinse nozzles under the tap after each use; shake dry. Don't boil or dishwasher them
- Philips recommends replacing nozzles about every 6 months
- Store a spare nozzle in the tank when not in use
- Wipe the handle with a damp cloth — no solvents or abrasive cleaners
- Empty the tank after every session; leave the fill port open to dry
- Keep charge contacts dry before plugging in
