I bought this the day after going to the dentist for a toothache unknowingly associated with trapped food and dentist told me about the Waterpik and when I used it after eating dinner one night i could not believe the amount of food left behind even after brushing. So glad i purchased this.
I got this for my wife when her Dentist recomended that she try one to remove more plaque. The features are great with multiple tips, storage compartment,a power adjustment levels. It does a great job.
So far all works fine. One thing I note is that the tank needs to be pushed down hard to make a secure water connection. The lid where extra attachments are stored does not latch and attachments will fall out if you are not careful taking it off to fill with water. Also, it does not have room to store all the attachments.
I have used this every day 2 x per day for over one month. My mouth seems cleaner. It gets food partials out. I continue to floss as well. My dental hygienist and dentist both said this product was very good. So I am trying it out. I researched several types of cleaners and due to ratings I chose this one. What I don't like is the noise it makes. It is anything but quiet. I set it on a towel to buff the noise a bit. I will best know when I return to the dentist for my 6 months check up. If only it was more quiet. I will give it a better review after my check up. So far so good.
First time using the waterPik after countless times the dentist recommended me to buy one. It works really great I recommend it. Feels like you have a whole new mouth every time I use it. I don't regret this purchase.
I purchased this in Dec. 2017 after a dental appointment for checkup. Learned that I have a "food pocket" and even though I floss, but not religiously, I have particles caught. I love this device. Use it 2x each day with the PicPocket tip. Even after brushing and flossing, the Water Pik expels tiny food particles. I love it!
