Summary: Disappointing
Comment: For a year now I've been using the Waterpik Personal Dental System. It's does the job but is noisy and cheesy looking, so I thought I'd treat myself to a nicer version and picked this one out.
First, let me say that this unit does what a Waterpik should do: clean between the teeth and under the gums, especially with gingivitis. But here's why this unit's going back to the local retailer, assuming they'll accept the return:
* The small reservoir wouldn't be such a pain if I didn't have to mix mouthwash with the water, which means handling the thing with wet and slippery hands two or three times a session while blue liquid is dripping down my chin onto my shirt.
* It's awkward to hold. It wouldn't be so bad if the ring that turns the jet were easy to get to. My countertop version has a ring on the top of the small handheld assembly so I can keep a finger on it while holding the assembly. I'd need gigantic hands to do that with this one, especially when the reservoir is full.
* There's no convenient way to store any of the attachments, even the one you prefer. The only solution is to leave the attachment plugged in. If this is really meant to be portable, I'd expect at least a ventilated travel container for the attachments.
* The reservoir's filling hole is too small to do anything more than rinse it out, and even in a dry climate it doesn't dry out between uses. Therefore I'd feel compelled to disinfect it at least once a week to prevent bacteria from growing. Who needs that?
Bottom line: It's better than nothing and portable. If I traveled a lot I'd consider keeping it. But I don't, so I'm going to see if I can find a new corded version that's maybe a little more sturdy than my old unit.

Summary: hand held water pik
Comment: works but thin cheap plastic case; water capacity adequate but must rinse teeth quickly or will run out & have to refill

Summary: Great Product!
Comment: I purchased this Waterpik several weeks ago and could not be more pleased. I had read some negative reviews before and they were way of the mark. The tip does not turn when it is in your mouth unless maybe you mashed it against your tooth or something. It stays charged for a long time, easy to handle, the two setting are perfect as I prefer the lighter setting and it is just right. I had the prior model and this is a big improvement in handling it as it has a curved body now instead of straight. Also the tip release is farther away so you cannot accidently push it when using it like I did a few times with the old one. Also the on off switch is easier to use than before. Can't think of anything that can be improved!

Summary: Great overall, few flaws
Comment: I was always sceptic about the waterpick versus flossing. But this product does work the same and maybe even better. It does get the teeth very clean, in every little pocket. I have braces and it works great around them with the standard tip. No more touching the gross floss :))
Pros: Gets the teeth sparkling clean. Period.
Cons: The tip DOES rotate easily, like other reviewers mentioned. Not sure if it's a safety issue, but it is rotating way too easy. Workaround - I just hold it by the tip instead of the body and regulate it.
The tank does empty very fast, but the workaround - just keep the faucet running and from time to time just fill in the water without stopping, just bend low :) It works fine and saves time.

Summary: This device is a joke...and you're the punchline
Comment: $52 at the local Walgreen's. I took it back the very next day. Plenty of other posts detail the device's shortcomings. The engineering was abysmal and WaterPik evidently decided it was better to try and unload it in the marketplace and embarrass itself, than to suck it up, work out the bugs, and roll out an adequate model. I first used WaterPik as a teenager when I had braces. But there is a vastly superior system that was designed by a French dentist, Dr. Woog. Don't laugh. It has 5 jet streams instead of WaterPik's 1. It's what WaterPik would evolve into if they really cared about quality. The 'Woog Periosystem' went out of business 20(?) years ago but somebody purchased the patent and still makes them. On to the internet search engine.
