Previous product was the self contained hand held but just didn't have the power. I really liked the shower attachment but it couldn't take the turning on and off & knob would break
I bought this unit because it is run by electricity rather than a battery, and it has a large water supply, encouraging me to use it for longer periods of time. My dental hygienist commented on a noticeable improvement in my teeth...lack of staining along the gum line...which she attributed to this product along with my daily oral regimen. My teeth are close together, retaining lots of food particles, which water pic removes better than floss!
I finally had to replace my old Waterpik flosser, it lasted ten or twelve year's. I love the new model ,much quieter and the bowl design is better .I would not go without one of these,they really do help my gum's and clean great.
I received the waterpik as a christmas gift. I have been using everyday since. the only problem I have with it is the blue pause button gets stuck in the off position. I rarely use the button so I'm not worried about that. Other than that I love it. Would have given it a five but since I have issues the the button I can only give it a four star.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Started using my Waterpik WP-100 the day I revieved it ! My gums look & feel GREAT! Though I flossed with dental floss everyday, I was surprised at the amount of food particles I saw after I used the water flosser. A quality product, attractive looking, easy to use, My friend, a dental hygentist, recommended this product to me and says she does the same to all of her clients.
