I purchased this smaller travel model due to lack of electrical outlets and countertop space. I wasn’t sure what to expect at first, but my teeth are certainly cleaner. Flossing first is my normal routine, but a still find food particles that I didn’t get or couldn’t reach after using the Water Pik. I am very happy with the product.
Tank door broke off tank after two months use, Batteries need weekly replacement or charging. Buy a rechargeable model..

Hello - We are sorry this happened with your WF-02 model. 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. Perhaps a rechargeable or countertop model would be a better fit. As for the broken door, the model comes with a one-year warranty.

It is a little messy to use, but i think it is doing what it is supposed to do. i have carpal tunnel syndrome, so sometimes it is a little hard to accomplish putting the Waterpik together and getting the cleaning done, but is not hard enough that i cannot use it.
I am disappointed with the device. Disappointed with battery power. The pressure is less than expected. Have only used it with the heads provided and maybe with smaller diameter it would work better.
I actually rarely floss but ever since we got this water pic my teeth have been healthier as i used to have a little gingivitis until i got this it has astonished my dentist and my gums are no longer red and bloody. I would always explain to my dentist that flossing always made my gums bleed and hurt and all she would say is that my gums would get stronger... luckily now with the water pic i no longer have gingivitis and or bleeding gums! This should have been invented many years ago to help those in my same situation!
