They promised a quieter unit but I did not find this to be so. Same noise as my previous Ultra. Also when you turn on the unit there is a slight delay before the water shoots out. I don't know if this is a defect or if this is how the machine is meant to work. My previous unit did not do this.
After my most recent dentist appointment, it was clear I wasn't getting clean above the gum line. I had used a Waterpik when I had braces as a kid so it was time to go back. It is amazing how clean your mouth feels after, I'm so glad I went back to using a Waterpik
I love this waterpik I wished my hygience told me about it a long time ago. I use it 2 or 3 times a day. Makes my mouth feeling so fresh. I also got my granddaughter one but the cordless she loves it.
I bought this one to replace my old one. I love it. I can't really floss my teeth very good so decided to try one of these. It works great by actually blowing food particles from between my teeth. On my dental examine they tell me how good my teeth are holding up. I am a diabetic and I guess diabetics have problems with their teeth and gums. So far the Pik is keeping on track.
Excellent product ; Quality appearance, compact to fit almost anywhere,easy to use. excellent water pressure, and effective at cleaning. A clear winner at this point. Congratulations WATERPIK !!
