interesting - shoved another battery in without any form of cleaning and the brush is showing signs of life
How did you clean it then?

Philips Sonicare flosser review https://www.philips.co.za/c-p/HX3333_24/compact-flosser-1000-oral-irrigator
We only get the entry level one here. Comes with 2 nozzles, 200ml tank and usb charging (seems to be same cable as Oneblade which is nice) and the battery lasts about 2 weeks. The nozzle you have to swap out every 6 months. Will see if those last two are just very conservative estimates.
Does it work?
Honestly I don't know. I have braces at the back of my teeth and they felt really clean (just like after I finish brushing) so I guess it does. I only really got it to remove stuck food that takes ages to remove with the toothbrush since the cheap Chinese toothpicks I purchased a few years ago break if you just look at them. Anyway cleaning is 30 seconds per side for 60 seconds total.
TLDR should you get it?
I don't know I guess so. It's better than buying floss every time and it's quick and easy. For my use case it'll do the job and I like Sonicare better than Oral B.

I asked my dentist the question about the effectiveness of dental flosser/irrigators and he gave me a comparative question instead. Do I have a pressure washer and washed a car which was mud covered without afterwards using a sponge or cloth to get it really clean.
If my answer was yes I should get one otherwise use the conventional flossing methods.
Fortunately I have a decent pressure washer which answered his question and therefor did not buy a water flosser.
