I'm happy about the performance of the Waterpik BUT I'm disappointed that the batteries do NOT last long!! And YES, I put Duracell batteries in them after I got it because WATERPIK batteries only lasted a few days!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Amazing product, much better than the old kind that looked like a fish tank. Recommend by my dentist. Got better check ups after using. Batteries last a long time.
Like the compact size of the handheld version as opposed to the unit that would take up room on my little sink. Wish I had gotten the rechargeable version because I wonder how often I'll have to buy batteries. So far I've had it about a month, use once a day...sometimes twice and seems fine. I do have to refill, but maybe I'm going too slow therefore using up the water in the tank too fast.
On slow speed I run out of water before all teeth are flossed. I have not tried a faster speed yet
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello Last - We are sorry to hear that you are not completely happy with this model. The unit is designed small for those who travel and/or have little counter space. Sometimes users may find it necessary to refill the reservoir more than once.
Batteries died within a couple weeks, and the lower of the two pressure settings hurt my gums.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
