I received this as a gift and I love it. This machine works! Mine came with a few different attachments and they each work your gums in a different way. Read the simple directions first just to make sure you get the most out of this tool and you don't run the risk of hurting your gums. It is a bit messy and takes practice to remember to keep your mouth closed enough so the water doesn't splash everywhere (I like looking in the mirror, so this is challenging for me) but once you have that down, the results speak for themselves.
The size of my new waterpic is perfect for my bathroom counter. The instruction for it's use was written well and made it easy to use the first day. The product works very well, and I expect my next dental exam to be much improved. Thanks for a great product!!!
I love love love the flossing and it has helped reduced the pockets in my gums. BUT with the huge caveat that the thing grows mold like crazy!! It's everywhere, and I clean it faithfully. I hope Waterpik doesn't provide the form response here with the customer service phone number and the link to the cleaning instructions because that won't cut it. I still recommend this Waterpik but there is a serious design flaw that it can't be disassembled and cleaned... perhaps to keep you buying new ones to fight the mold??
Even after a long over due visit to the dentist and this product being recommended I spent much time on line reading reviews. Look no more !!! The water tank holds just enough to get a comfortable cleaning of uppers & lowers, inside & out. The variety of tips, dial selection and storage makes this unit convenient and easy to store when not in use. I HIGHLY recommend the water flosser to all, if you have never used a water flosser you will be amazed what your toothbrush leaves behind.
