They are expensive and I don't have one for that exact reason, however it's not just "squirting a bit of water into your mouth", it's high pressure water that, as the name suggests, is a complete replacement for traditional flossing.

I love mine and it's absolutely disgusted me when I first used it and found so much stuck between my teeth.

But they are not a replacement for floss. They don't scrape the sides of your teeth the same way. They are a part of my routine, but floss is still required to actually clean the teeth.
