The Waterpik is difficult to use: awkward and makes a mess with the water. Takes a lot of getting used to. Wish I had bought the smaller style.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I've been using the water pik for years and every time my dental check-up is "great"! This product cleans at the gum line, between teeth and is refreshing. Each tool is useful for various purposes.
Wish I had been using this product like I was when I was a kid. Always had great dental check ups. But now older went in and not as great as before. Would have been different if I had been using it...
