Batteries last for 6 -30second uses; then flosser needs new batteries!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

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 also how often the unit is used. If multiple people are using the unit and/or it gets used multiple times a day, the batteries will need to be replaced more frequently.
Absolutely love! I struggled with swollen and sore gums for a long time and I used this product twice and they stopped bleeding and felt so much better!
I love this waterproof portable battery operated Waterpik. I use it while in the shower. It's the best! But I do wish that it comes in a mini-travel size.
Messy to use and should be used over the sink; it makes mouth feel clean
I would recommend this to a friend!

We are sorry that you are finding the unit to be messy to use. Perhaps our how-to video would be helpful. Here is the link to the short video: https://youtu.be/nmni3iojwl0
Great and affordable. I have been using this for five months now, but it seems to me that its durability is going away. Now, whenever I try to slide the water compartment in (and when the water compartment touches the inner part of the machine) the whole thing just stop working. Then I would need to change a new set of battery, then it would work for a few rounds (maybe 4 or 5 rounds) before stopping again. Then I have to change a new set of battery, with the previous set of battery being used only a few round. And when I try to change to the old set of battery, it would not work. Everytime it stop working (after 4 or 5 rounds) I must change a new set of battery. I have been wasting sets of battery lately and I'm thinking of changing a new one...
