I am so glad I saw this version of the Waterpik. I needed to purchase a unit, but wasn't really in need of the large original Waterpik. This smaller one is so easy to use. I can store it on the counter top when I'm done each day. I just open the door to the water compartment when I'm done to let it air out.
Purchased my first Waterpik (rechargeable unit) when I had braces put on two years ago. It lasted 2 years before it would no longer charge. Definitely got my monies worth from it. Decided to try a smaller unit even though it was battery operated. Thought it wouldn't be as powerful as the chargeable unit. Was I wrong. This unit's stream is powerful and really helps in keeping my permanent retainers and whole mouth clean. I bring it from home to work and back again every single day. I think I need a second one :-) Nonetheless, I like the fact that when the batteries need replacing the unit slows down unlike the rechargeable unit where it just stops. At this point - unless I use my Waterpik before and after I brush - I don't feel like my mouth is clean. Love this unit!
I love this product, I only gave 4 stars because the tank that holds the water runs out super quick. I have to fill it 2-3 times. Also batteries it came with died in a week and a half. But it does work great!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

We are sorry you are not completely satisfied with the unit. This model is designed to be small as it is intended for those who travel and/or have little counter space. Some users may find it necessary to fill the reservoir more than once.
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.
