This is an effective oral health tool, but the capacity for the fluid is so low you frequently refill it. I usually need two tanks to finish adequately flossing my teeth.
Easy to use and after a few weeks of usage, I already see improvement with my teeth. However, I bought a large package of extra AA batteries as the batteries do get worn down with use.
Better than string flossing to remove food debris. My hygienist sees big improvement. Just wish the reservoir was large enough to do my whole mouth. I usually have to refill.
Batteries run out quickly and need to be changed weekly to maintain a powerful stream.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're sorry that you're not totally satisfied. We are sorry to hear that you were not happy with the product. The average customer will replace batteries every 6-8 weeks. How long the batteries will last is not only determined by the type and quality of the battery, but how often the unit is used as well. If you use the product more than once a day or if multiple people use it, we recommend a counter top model or a rechargeable unit.
