I bought this a month ago to replace my old waterpik. My old one was still working after 15 years of service, but I wanted to get the new model. The new model has many improved features that make it more convenient to use. It is so good looking, that I leave it out between my double sinks. You only think that your teeth are clean with brushing and flossing. I save the waterpik for last and it will still find residue. My mouth feels so clean afterword and I know that my breath stays fresher.
This is the second unit that I have used, the first lasted 5 yrs. It was the same model but in white. I prefer the black color as it blends with the counter tops much better and it has the exact same features.This unit is lighter weight and woks well to help maintain a healthy set of teeth&gums.The noise level is around the same, I use a washcloth as a pad to help, it dampens the vibration some.Using the waterpik has helped my gums a lot, and I hate using regular dental floss as it gets caught between my crowns and breaks. I use the water flosser 2-3 times daily and am suprized at how much food particals are flushed out. I would recommend to anyone wanting to improve their dental hygiene.
Had the same type earlier hose broke purchased another one and was SHOCKED as the decrease in quality. Not as solid as the original one purchased 2 years earlier and it is not as powerful. Disappointed in the new version
