As they advertise they say a water flosser is much better than flossing. But that is advertising and one can never go by it. Anyone use it. They also calll it a water pik I think.
We had a water pik growing up, it was great. The ones they have now are much improved over the old ones. It gets the debris out from between the teeth *much* better than floss does; even after flossing, often a popcorn kernel will still be stuck between a bridge and my gumline. It is -especially- amazingly wonderful for people with braces. I don't have one now because I don't have a place to put it in our bathroom. No shelving yet. But I'd definitely buy one again once the shelves are put in.
Two years ago I was diagnosed with the start of gum disease. Purchased a waterpic, did not get any periodontist treatment and the disease has actually regressed and gums pretty much back to normal. I do also floss once a day as well.
I got braces last month and use the water flosser. It makes cleaning these things so much easier. I still use regular dental floss, though, because the process feels incomplete without it.
Here's a link to a $20 coupon for one. You have to "like" them on Facebook. (I really hate these FB only deals, because I don't want to have to sign up for FB to get a coupon)
dental floss is considered effective for cleaning up the tight spaces between your teeth whereas water pik can help remove food particles stuck between the teeth , it is device which aim a water stream at your teeth. But I dont think that it is considered as substitute for brushing and flossing, like so many people think about it.
I think it is more effective than flossing for many people BECAUSE a lot of people do not know how to floss effectively. If done right I think flossing is more effective but just a bit more. The waterpik is definitely much better than not flossing at all.
I don't floss as I find it extremely inconvenient, I use the waterpik regularly instead and have had perfect dental health.

Floss on a stick. Best thing ever invented.
