Oclean Flow & Oclean W10
Olcean is the insider tip when it comes to smart dental care products. Even back then, when the brand was mainly represented on the Asian market, the Oclean One Sonic toothbrush pleasantly surprised by its good workmanship, variety of cleaning options and battery life.
Oclean now has a wide range of sonic toothbrushes, oral irrigators and accessories on offer. The Oclean Flow is one of the cheaper models at a price of just under 26 euros.
Oclean Flow - design, workmanship and scope of delivery
The Oclean Flow is a colorful toothbrush. The model is available in white and blue on the official website. In the future, the toothbrush should also be available in red. A chic color gradient with gradations sets additional accents.
The weight of the toothbrush without the brush head is 127g. The brush head weighs an additional 5g. The handle has a length of 19 cm and is ergonomically shaped, which makes it comfortable to hold. The brush head is simply attached.
Information
Basically, all Oclean brush heads are compatible with all Oclean sonic toothbrushes. This also applies to the Oclean Flow, but we recommend using the Oclean P1 and PW05 brush heads.
Although the brush heads are not available in retail stores, they can easily be reordered from Amazon, eBay and other shops for a unit price of 2 - 4 euros.
According to protection class IPX7, the Oclean Flow is waterproof and can be cleaned under running water without hesitation. The Oclean One already showed that Oclean can be trusted in this regard, which in the test at the time did not suffer any water damage even after two years of use.
The scope of delivery is clear and includes, in addition to the handle, a brush head, a USB-C charging cable and instructions.
Oclean Flow - operation and functions
In order to keep the price as low as possible, the Oclean Flow dispenses with smart functions. There are no gimmicks such as a display or a connection to the Oclean app.
Instead, the Oclean Flow is operated using a single button on the handle. There are 5 cleaning modes, which can be changed by repeatedly pressing the button. Which mode is currently active can be seen from the illuminated symbols that are arranged vertically below the button. The following modes are available:
- Morning Mode: The mode for the morning that goes to work with gentle intensity.
- Night Mode: The mode for particularly intensive cleaning for the night.
- Standard Mode: The mode for general cleaning at medium intensity.
- Whitening Mode: The mode for white teeth at medium intensity.
- Gentle Mode: The mode for particularly gentle, gum-friendly cleaning.
The cleaning time is set to 2 minutes. Every 30 seconds you will be warned by a slight vibration to change the tooth area.
Oclean Flow - practical test
As an Oclean One for many years and most recently Oclean X Pro Elite In the past few weeks, users have been allowed to take their place at the sink. Basically, the sonic toothbrush is a basic product that does exactly what you can expect from a sonic toothbrush.
Operation is simple and the total of 5 cleaning modes are completely sufficient. Sometimes less is even more, because not everyone wants to torment themselves through an app while brushing their teeth or needs an individual cleaning program.
With up to 38.000 vibrations, the sonic toothbrush is extremely powerful. When it comes to cleaning results, I would say that there are no differences to the more expensive, but also smarter models.
As for the battery, I can't say much about that yet. After all, if you brush your teeth twice a day, it should last up to 180 days. An empty battery can be recognized by the red glowing power button. The toothbrush is charged via a USB-C socket on the bottom. Simply remove the cover, plug in the charging cable and fully charge in approx. 4 hours.
Oclean W10 - design, workmanship and scope of delivery
Let's take a look at the Oclean W10 Water Flosser. The practical oral irrigator is the winner of the reddot Design Awards 2021. And you can see that too! Available in green and pink, the Oclean W10 is a really chic product that people like to present in the bathroom.
The structure of the Oclean W10 consists of a 200 ml water container with an integrated pump and a nozzle. Thanks to the "all-in-one" structure, the oral irrigator is also suitable for on the go and is also space-saving. The water tank can be filled easily through an opening on the top. The transparent underside of the container can be removed for easy cleaning. The total of 4 nozzles supplied are attached and click into place. The nozzles can be rotated 360 ° for convenient handling.
In addition to the oral irrigator and the 4 nozzles, the scope of delivery also includes a USB-C charging cable and instructions. The charging socket is hidden behind a cover on the front. Above it are the illuminated displays of the 5 cleaning modes, the mode button and the power button.
The Oclean W10 oral irrigator can be securely gripped via a hand strap on the back. Just like the Olcean Flow, the Oclean W10 is also protected against water in accordance with IPX7.
Oclean W10 - operation and functions

- On-Demand-Mode: In this mode, a few, short bursts are delivered.
A practical timer reminds you to change the mouth area every 15 seconds.
Oclean W10 - practical test
When I first used the Oclean W10 Water Flosser, I just let water spray into the sink. In the end it was a huge mess, because the stream of microbubbles spread like a fine mist. The oral irrigator belongs in the mouth!
In the meantime, the Oclean oral irrigator has made it into my daily dental routine. I mostly use them after brushing my teeth to remove any remaining bits. Of course, you can also use the oral irrigator before brushing your teeth or simply rinse your mouth with it in between.
However, the use of dental floss cannot be replaced by an oral irrigator. The fine jet of water cannot replace the effective scrubbing movement of dental floss, but it complements daily oral hygiene very well. It is particularly advantageous for those with braces who usually cannot use dental floss.
The spray jet proved to be pleasant in the test at all levels. Gentle cleaning is possible even with sensitive gums. A pleasant, clean feeling remains after use.
