Had an older model which lasted 8 years. Not pleased with the performance as battery doesn't hold a charge long.

Hello Michaele - We are sorry to hear you were not pleased with the model. The WF-02 is a battery-operated unit. 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 by 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.
I wish I had purchased a different model. This model eats up batteries. Fresh batteries last less than two weeks. I love how it works on a set of new batteries, but am not happy with this product. I bought it with OTC money thru health insurance so am unable to return.
It’s a game changer in terms of thoot maintenance. Very comfortable and easy to use. I got addicted to it from the first use. Why it took me so long to buy it?
I bought this because my dentist recommended I use a waterpik and this model was recommended online. Battery life is not very good, water pressure is not great and reservoir has to be refilled half way through flossing. We’ll see what the dentist says next time.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Colibri - We are sorry that you are not completely happy with the product. The average customer will replace batteries every 6-8 weeks. The WF-02 has a pressure of 75PSI on high. Although the pressure is not as high as our counter top models, it does not make it any less effective.
