Panasonic EW1211 – Review
The Panasonic EW1211 is already a few years old but still one of the best oral showers on the market. Meaningful equipment, long durability and a very fair price make the EW1211 a successful classic.
Panasonic
In the field of oral showers, Panasonic has been playing an absolute pioneering role for years. Although the portfolio comprises just 4 devices, the competition from Braun, Philips or AEG in terms of sales can not keep up. In addition to the travel shower EW-DJ10 and the EW-DJ40 is especially the EW1211 the absolute bestseller. Although it can only be classified in midfield with a price of around 50 euros, the Panasonic EW1211 consistently convinces critics and customers. Therefore, we want to find out in our test why this is and how the EW1211 beats in comparison to some much more recent and more expensive models.
Equipment
Like all Panasonic showers, the EW1211 is not a stationary model with a separate water tank and hose. Here is the Water tank in the handle what makes the handset unusually chunky, a bit like a too-thick electric toothbrush. The tank holds 130 ml of water and thus allows about 35 seconds of operation to be refilled. You can choose between 3 different intensity levels, “Jet”, “Normal” and “Soft”. “Jet” is the mode with the highest pressure, here a pure water jet with a pressure of approximately 5.9 bar is pressed out of the nozzle. The gentler steps benefit from the double pump system, which adds oxygen to it to spray a water-air mixture.

In addition to the actual oral irrigator are a small charging station, and two nozzles included. There a Change the nozzle about every 6 months recommended, you will be spared in the first year of follow-up costs. The batteries provide enough power for about 15 minutes of operation and are fortunately replaceable. A weakening battery does not necessarily mean the end of the whole device. For the Addition of mouthwash the EW1211 according to the instructions, unfortunately, not suitable. Although customers repeatedly report that this is possible without any problems, this happens at their own risk and will result in the loss of the guarantee.
Test result – completely successful
The different levels make perfect sense, so the lowest, for example, is great for cleaning the tooth pockets, without it being uncomfortable tweaks. The normal and especially the setting “Jet” are rather intended for the interdental spaces. The use is very fast from the hand and leaves above all very clean and hygienic feeling in the mouth. Flossing is also hard to replace with a good oral irrigator, but with the Panasonic EW1211 the other dental care can definitely be meaningfully supplemented.
The operation is conceivably uncomplicated. One button switches the Panasonic EW1211 on and off, the second one selects one of the 3 levels. At the water tank Panasonic has found a good compromise, between handiness and volume. The average user will probably need to replenish at least once for a complete application, but that’s not too bad, because that’s fast and easy. Turn the device over, open the cap, briefly under the tap and you’re ready to go. This is actually done in a few seconds and hardly bothers.
The processing also offers no cause for criticism. Everything makes you stable and orderly impression And thanks to the replaceable batteries and jets, you do not have to worry about the Panasonic EW1211 being just a few months’ worth of purchase and then being replaced. One battery charge lasts about 14 days a day in two applications, but the power of the water jet decreases noticeably during these two weeks. If that’s not enough power, it will have to recharge more often. While it is shown that the charging process is running, an indicator that the battery is full, there is unfortunately not.
Test conclusion – like a test winner
If you want to buy an oral irrigator, the Panasonic EW1211 is one of the best options. It brings in our test top marks in almost all areas and has no real weaknesses. In the 50 Euro class she is unrivaled.
