The Russian company Revyline manufactures dental products under the auspices of the Moscow State Pedagogical University named after I.M. Sechenov. Irrigators of this brand are in the top 3 sales in the country. Today the focus of my attention is the stationary irrigator Revyline RL 900. Further in the review I will tell you in detail about the design and functionality, and also based on user reviews, I will make an expert opinion about this model.
Appearance
The irrigator is a stationary model, therefore, it consists of a traditional body and a handle. The white plastic construction looks solid, simple and elegant at the same time. An interesting detail immediately attracts attention: there are no usual controls on the case. It turns out that the process engineers transferred them to the handle of the device, and this solution must be considered convenient and logical.
The irrigator is operated with a single gesture: you simply switch the buttons with the same hand that holds the handle. By the way, there are only three buttons. This makes working with the irrigator very easy and almost automatic. No need to be distracted by unnecessary controls, look for the desired mode, etc.
Another "trick": the reservoir for the liquid is located in the body itself and this, of course, distinguishes the RL 900 from the more classic models with an open reservoir. This does not affect functionality in any way: just such an aesthetic solution from the creators of the RL 900. I am somewhat skeptical about it, and I will explain why a little later.
I cannot fail to note the convenience of attaching the handle to the body: it easily and reliably attaches to it in one motion, you do not need to insert it into the special grooves of the holder every time. Not the most innovative find, but ergonomic.
Well, silicone suction feet are a very useful item for wet bathroom surfaces. You can be sure that the device will not slip and land on the floor at the most inopportune moment.

Functional
Let's move on to, perhaps, the main part. What can the Revyline RL 900 irrigator do and why does it collect positive feedback from customers?
The most important thing is that the device does an excellent job of its direct duties: a fine pulsating jet effectively cleans food microparticles and plaque from the mezhubal spaces, periodontal pockets, parts and assemblies of braces and other orthodontic structures - in a word, where it is impossible to reach with a toothbrush.
Those who have problems with the gums are of great benefit: during irrigation, not only their cleansing occurs, but also massage, which stimulates blood circulation and microcirculation in the tissues. As a result, the gums are noticeably stronger and healthier just a short time after using the irrigator.
This result is ensured, among other things, due to a wide range of modes. Revyline RL 900 has as many as 10 of them, which allows you to choose the power level that is comfortable for you. By the way, the maximum irrigator "runs up" to 800 kPa, this is really a lot!
Moreover, if you are just getting started with an irrigator, dentists recommend starting with the lowest fluid pressure to avoid damaging your gums and to give them time to get used to the irrigation procedure.
The mode selected using the buttons on the handle is displayed on the display mounted in the device case. Very clear. As for the complete set of nozzles, they are presented in all kinds of variety, but more on that below.
Equipment
- Irrigator main unit;
- Standard nozzles for regular use - 3 pcs.;
- Bristle attachment for cleaning implants, bridges, crowns;
- Periodontal tip with rubber tip for cleaning gingival pockets;
- Orthodontic attachment for the care of braces and other systems;
- Nozzle for cleaning the surface of the tongue;
- Instructions
As we can see, there are nozzles for all dental cases to the irrigator, so that everyone will find what he needs.
The nozzles fit conveniently into the pencil case, which also serves as a reservoir lid - another plus for the Revyline RL 900 developers for thoughtfulness and customer care.
Disadvantages and advantages
Since the model is stationary, you cannot call it compact, but this is a feature of all irrigators of this type.
The decision to move the reservoir into the case seems to me somewhat controversial: after all, it is more convenient to see the liquid level in an open reservoir. Here it can be assessed only through the "window".
Apart from minor flaws, the Revyline RL 900 is a powerful, functional, modern model with an excellent set of attachments and a reasonable price.
By the way, the warranty for the irrigator is 2 years, which provides quick and free elimination of hypothetical problems.
