The flosser is good because it really helps me have cleaner teeth & gums. I didn't give a perfect score because of the charging of the equipment. The information provided for charging the flosser is not clear. So I am not sure if it's fully charged or not or when it's time to charge it.
In theory, this is a great idea. A rechargeable water-powered flosser. However, without a means to control the speed/volume of water, it's only for those with hardened gums. The intensity at which the water 'shoots out' is quite surprising and somewhat alarming. It would seem this company would do well to add a means to control pressure. If you have sensitivity around your gums, you too will find this as hurtful and frustrating as I have.
The Pik seems to get into the areas that need cleaning; to prevent plaque buildup. I'll know more when I go to my dental hygienist in a couple months. I just wish there was a bigger container for the water. It empties quickly so i have to fill it twice to get a thorough cleaning.
I am disappointed in the pressure or force of the spray on his model. Even on the high setting, it still does not give me the cleaning power I seek.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

the water pic okay a little underpowered I think and I just found out it does not have a lockout feature so when you traveling there's no way to stop from coming on in your there's no way to stop it from coming on in your luggage I think that was very shortsighted of the engineers that designed this
