I bought it before Christmas. I thought from what I read that it might be good for my stepson' braces & maybe it would help us save on dental work. It came with a travel kit (smaller size too) so perfect, stepson could take to his mom's & use for braces which seemed tougher to keep clean. And we could keep the larger unt here. His reaction when I asked how it was working showed me that it was more than a just "good" thing. It's a little messy until you get used to it, but teeth seem so much cleaner than flossing. When I called to take advantage of the discount on additional heads for registration, the lady said, (when I asked), that she'd talked to people that had them 10-15 years & theirs were still working. So I figured we'd have it long enough to justify buying the extra heads & cleaning wands.
It is a bit messy ,but once you learn how to use it ,it works ok.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Happily surprised by the power this has. It does a very good job cleaning between teeth.The only reason I did not give 5 stars is due to the button on the handle. You need to push rather hard to shut off the water flow. It would be better if it worked the opposite way by having the water flow when you push the button. Otherwise, very effective.
