Pluses: 1) It is more quiet than the previous Waterpiks that I've owned. 2) The magnet on the handle makes it easier to put back after using. 3) Previous Waterpiks lasted a long time, so I expect this one to do the same.
Negatives: 1) I would like more pressure than it is offering. 2) High-priced for the improvements it provides. I had considered returning it and instead buying the model that is more like the one I had had before. Decided that the return was not worth the effort.
It is great! A small product with much power. The only thing that I would change would be the lid. It does not stay on the top very well. I think the rim is too small to fit.
Whipped my gums into shape. After 2 months no more bleeding or redness. The step system is awesome. I love flossing now. Pressure is great. The reservoir holds a good amount of water. The nozzles are nice, and the machine works consistently well.
I had my six-month dental visit today and the hygienist asked me if I've changed anything since my last visit. I shared with her that I recently purchased a promax and starting using it with the plaque seeker tip. She said keep doing it because I've had improvement in my gum recession and there is hardly any plaque or staining.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello Denver Dave - Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear that your dental hygienist noticed positive changes at your six-month visit. It's wonderful to know that the ProMax and Plaque Seeker Tip have helped reduce plaque and staining while supporting healthier gums. We appreciate your feedback, and we're glad it's making a difference in your oral care routine. Keep up the good work!
I like this product a lot it just takes a little time to get used to it in terms of not looking in the mirror and looking down. Only thing I don’t like is the cord that is attached to the machine itself the water cord that is. I understand why they made it the way they did but it’s a constant battle to keep it where you want and not pull the machine across the countertop because the cord is always coiled up.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello Fashionfrank- Thank you for reviewing the Promax! We're glad to hear you're enjoying it. A helpful tip is to lean over the sink, keep your lips mostly closed around the tip, and avoid looking in the mirror while flossing. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the hose. The hose is designed to safely extend up to 30 inches, and when used as recommended, this length has been found to provide sufficient reach for most users. We'll be sure to share your comments with our team. Thank you for choosing Waterpik!
