Don't bother with Panasonic's Portable WaterPik because after a couple months usage, the water power dwindles despite using a new set of batteries. It's also a pain to clean because the reservoir tends to get moldy. Even WaterPik's portable contraption, the lithium ion battery dwindles and you'll have to constantly recharge it and the water power does not even compare to the WaterPik Ultra Water Flosser. This is the best waterpik for the home use. It's powerful to clean your teeth of all the grime that's left over from eating and has enough water storage to clean your whole mouth without refilling. Even comes with a tongue cleaner for a fresher breath. The cord attachment is self rolled so you don't have to worry about trying to keep in wound tight in it's pocket, which was a concern prior to purchase.

Waterpik Ultra Water FlosserI have used this product in the past and love it!! Works great!!

The Waterpic seems to be a five-star so far. I have used it about one month. Getting use to the release button where it is located was a little tricky for me. I released the utensil that was in place a couple of times in error but have mastered that now. Some of the poorer reviews mentioned leaking or the hose coming loose. That has not happened to me at all. When I last used a Waterpic was several years ago until this one. The older models in my opinion were easier to use in that the it was a square design tank that one could handle easier. With that said new models always change and one has to adapt. Overall I would recommend this product.I usually add just a little mouthwash to the water before I start the Waterpick. That makes the water taste good and leaves your mouth fresh.

I ordered this aid/device at the recommendation of my dentist. It is a very good supplement to regular brushing and flossing. Of equal importance was the very good pricing and timely shipping through Amazon. This adds to the ease of Internet shopping.

This machine, while supposedly having all the bells and whistles, also has a little sticker on the underside, near the motor, stating that it cannot be used for more than 5 minutes per 2 hours! That means that if there are more than 2 people who want to use this machine, for example, before you go to bed, the machine will turn off because of overheating! The company obviously knows that the motor is insufficient for usage, hence the sticker. Save your money, and do not buy this machine.

Unit works very well and i am pleased. Will hold a charge for over two weeks and that makes it easy to store for daily use. Very prompt shipping. Recommend buying unit.

I read all the reviews about the bits turning, the unit too loud, water tank to small, blah, blah, blah. I have 3 WaterPik Flossers now and we use all 3 of them. I ordered one for Iraq because I missed mine at home! The unit is a little bukly but is not heavy. The water chamber takes up most of the side on it. If the water tank was larger, it would make it even less handy, so the water tank is fine. If you need to refill it, flip the cap open and put in more hot water. I only refill when I am doing extra cleaning in the backs sometimes depending on what I ate. The unit is no louder than the standard bathroom models. Tips will move if you do not guide them properly. My tips will not turn while waster is spewing out as long as my tooth or tongue doesn't hit it. But hey, ayy you nay sayers, just go buy that $189.00 job from that other company. I'll save the $140.00 and still have clean teeth.

The WaterPik 450 is a great supplement to my home WaterPik. Ideal for travel use - compact and rechargeable.

This worked well enough that I have decided to purchase another. However, I'm going to try a different brand, because the re-chargeable battery on this unit conked out after less than a year. There are no serviceable parts, although it would have been easy to engineer the unit so that the owner could easily replace the rechargeable batters. I would have paid more if the unit used lithium ion rather than metal hydride batteries. I recommend the concept, but not this product. By the way, it IS loud, and the tip does rotate on its own. The reservoir is small. But I could have lived with these short comings if the unit would have lasted.

How did this thing get on the market?!!! I'm SHOCKED by this product. Completely unusable for the reasons already mentioned. Tip moves around and is uncontrollable, by the time you've grabbed it and water is all over the place, the reservoir is EMPTY, and user is ready to throw it against the wall. What were these people thinking to design and then actually SELL a product like this?

I've owned several different Waterpiks over the years, including this one. They all crack and break easily. They must not use much plasticizer in their manufacturing. This portable one tipped over on the sink counter-top, and shattered not-unlike glass, ten days after I got it. A second one slipped off the towel onto the floor and broke the tip in half, and broke the reservoir cover off. The motor comes on, but it just spins without pumping anything. The things are kind of noisy when people are sleeping, so it was nice to have a portable one to use away from the bedrooms. The non-portable one, (I've had two), my first one, years ago, lasted a while, but the hose cracked and broke. I was able to put the remaining hose back on to the handle, but it just broke again, and then the plastic where the hose attaches broke. Their plastic is so brittle! The last one I bought, I took back, because the rubber was already cracking, and I think the plastic reservoir was already cracked, still in the package! It sounds like I am rough with these things; I am not. Things I own, generally, look new, and last forever. I'll buy another brand in the future.

I've had and used this device for 4 years. I use water with a good mouth wash and I can see the results going down the drain. My dentist who for years persisted in urging the use of floss and floss "day and night" etc., and that gum problems are arising from lack of floss, floss floss,no longer mentions flossing. I could not walk around with floss at my fingertips and had no intention of doing so. This item has traveled and been abused but continues to function.

I bought this for travel and it was a waste of money. It does not have any power and I should have just flossed.

When I opened the box the first thing I saw was a note that essentially said "call us before you return this item to the retailer." I thought to myself, this can't be good. Correct. Dittos to all who said the reservoir is too small, the requirement that you have to keep it vertical is quite awkward, and it's just plain messy. I guess they've made a train load of them and have to push them out the door.

Gives a good, effective cleaning between teeth especially with the high-pressure tip. Charge lasts for not less than two weeks or so. After using for the first few times I flossed to find out what was left behind, and was impressed to find very little if anything but wax on my floss. I've gotten good enough to do my whole mouth with one tankful, but I do it twice to be sure, plus i enjoy the gum massage. When I first started it took 4 tanks to do my whole mouth, so don't give up. I travel a lot so this compact rechargeable version suits me better than the large-tank version of the waterpik.
