Bought this from Amazon for a LOT less and my 11-year-old uses it with no problems.

I own a Conair water jet. I decided to buy this one for my extra bathroom. This waterpik has a much stronger "pulse" than the Conair. I love the fact that I saved $10.00 over my local store and paid no shipping! The extra tips are a really nice bonus.

I used one of these many years ago, and my dad used it from the day it was invented. It lost its luster some time ago when people set the force too high and damaged their gums. If you start at a very low setting and do not exceed your comfort level, you will have all the water in the tank to thoroughly clean in one fill. This is not a substitute for any other form of oral hygiene. It just makes everything else much easier and efficient after you first remove the food particles. I does not remove plaque, so don't get lazy.

I've always taken good care of my teeth but for the past 5 years or so i havent had any dental insurance so I just take extra care on my own. Ive had this puss coming out of one particular place on my bottom tooth for a long time. Ive been so concerned and always brush religiously every day but its just not enough. I started researching and discovered I had a "pocket". Ok... then i was even more afraid of losing my teeth. I continued to research and discovered This Water Pik. I was amazed at the feedback and reviews of this product from people just like me who could not afford a dentist and this product actually saved their teeth ! Well, Im happy to report its doing the same for me and im so happy and relieved. I put a mixture of peroxide, Listerine and water in the basin and then I use the Pik pocket tip to flush out the pocket in my gums and wow... I dont even get puss out of my gums anymore and its healing so fast. My breath is fresher than ever and my gums are so pink and healthy. I recommend this product to anyone that wants healthy teeth that will last them the rest of their life. I know people that have had painful surgery to correct their "pocket" problem and its just amazing to me that if they had known about this product, all the money, time and pain they would have saved themselves just by buying it ! Its absolutely incredible.... dont hesitate! Buy it and use it everyday of your life. You will not be disapointed.

I've been using it for about a month now. Love it. My mouth feels so much better and cleaner than with floss. Not that I have any measurable data, but I feel it works better than floss. Definitely get it if you don't like flossing.

Since my sister had experienced far less gum inflammation using a water pik, I purchased one. I find it much more pleasant to use than dental floss, but since I just got it, will have to wait until next visit to the dentist to see how it's working. However, I enjoy using it, which it motivating.

Good item. Works as expected. Note, it is cordless but too bulky to be ultra portable.

Probably I have never had a product with a weak battery. You can recharge 24 hours or more, and then you with luck if you can use 3 times. Oscar Delgado San Jose, Costa Rica

Pro: + Does what it says in the box. I use this after I floss my teeth to get rid of food particles. + Portable + Not too pricey Cons: - Might be pretty loud for some (electric toothbrush sound level) - Needs constant recharging - Water reservoir is a bit small. Needs at least one refill. - I just bought this in June and it's not working already! The area where you're supposed to plug in the charger appears to be corroded. However, there's no way that you can dry this area properly after using the unit without the aid of a blow dryer.

I have owned a Ultra Cordless Waterpik now since December 2009. It started to act funky about two weeks ago when it began to make a loud chirping noise (which it did not do when I first bought it). So, I called the customer service line to see what I should do/what they could do for me- and I was prepared to have to argue- like you normally would- just to get the minimal amount of respect and for them to believe that their product is actually malfunctioning. (Don't we all know companies like that!) Anyway, it was a snap! I actually got a customer service rep in less than 5 minutes, to whom I explained my problem to, and then I provided her with the serial number and the model number of the machine, and she assured me that it would be no problem, and they would send another one out as a replacement right away! Talk about wonderful customer service---and that also makes me feel really good about spending $50.00 for a dental "gadget" which, although it works really great, if it hadn't been so easy to fix this problem, I might have had mixed feelings about purchasing it in the first place.

The Waterpik WP-70W turned out to be a good, powerful dental tool that seems to be cleaning my teeth far better than my old manual or even my electric toothbrush. Only time will tell whether it is made well enough to last. The small hose to the pick itself seems a little brittle to me.

such a great price for a very useful appliance - my gums are happier already!

I've owned this model Waterpik for one year now and it just died the same way the previous Waterpik died: the hose became brittle and broke. Unfortunately, you cannot change the hose to the hand unit on this device, you have to throw the whole thing away. I suggest spending an extra $12 and getting the Ultra version so that you can change hand-unit hoses when they break after a year. Otherwise, the unit works okay.

I've had this unit for several years and up until this week it has worked great. Good and easily adjustable pressure, easy to clean and easy to use. I never found the extra attachments very useful as I just use the water pick if I have something under the gum-line that I can't otherwise get to. This means often going weeks or months without use. The last time I used it was probably several months ago and all was well. I needed it this week and it started pouring water from inside the handle. I tried several times to remove and re-seat the tip to no avail. The pressure of course dropped to a useless level even at the highest setting. All increasing the pressure setting does is increase the amount of water pouring from the handle. I don't remember what my original purchase price was but I don't think $35 is too bad of a deal. If I paid the listed retail of $50, I feel like it should have certainly lasted longer. I wouldn't call it a piece of junk as others have because it works great when it works. Its apparently short service life does leave much to be desired though.

I purchased this Waterpik to replace my old waterpik which was working but I could no longer get replacement tips for. All I can say is that if you need a dental irrigator don't waste your time and money on any other brand. Waterpik brand is the best!!! You won't be disappointed.
