I purchased my Waterpik about a month ago after doing research and watching videos. I have periodontal disease and have been requiring 4 month appts but I am confident that I will be able to back to 6 month cleaning appointments. I was pleasantly surprised that it was not difficult to use the Waterpick without getting a shower.
This model stopped working after a couple of years. Just stopped, no warning. I have a Waterpik from the 1980's that's still working, and a classic from 10 years ago that's still working, but this model is not. I've since read that the switch is defective. I wish there was a reasonable competitor to Waterpik to get them to up their game. By the way I prefer the performance of my classic models over this one. If I can't find a classic to purchase I will be forced to buy another one of these but I'm not happy.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have enjoyed the nice clean feeling in my mouth after each use and quite surprised at all the bits of food that comes out. I do put a capful of mouthwash in the water container whith each use. i have not used all of the different attachments as of yet. I was a bit disappointed that the tongue attachment did not come with the product.
