Some of the low quality of water flosser will save on cost and research and development, which will cause the motor speed to be unstable, the injection pressure is insufficient, and the flushing strength is weak, which directly leads to the lack of deep cleaning ability of the water flosser making you feel that the water flosser  is weak and not clean.
