This machine is tricky to use for someone with arthritic hands. The on-brush switch can be hard to push into the off position, leading to a sense of drowning. The overall dental results are good, but I dread using my Waterpik.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I'm still learning this waterpik. I thought when I press the pause button, the water would stop immediately, but it doesn't. It basically slows down and never really stops. Otherwise, I've been pleased with it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this product to replace the handheld model that just wore out after 2 years of use. Hopefully this one will last longer. However it is louder, and has a strong vibration to the cord when using it. I do like that I can adjust the water pressure with the various settings. It certainly makes my mouth feel fresh. And the container for the water holds plenty for usage.

I had written a poor review about a week or two ago which I confirmed when I received the email from WaterPik but I can see it never got posted.. Disappointed in that..
Update: a rep from WaterPik contacted me & we tested my unit & they offered to send me a replacement part which at that time I accepted for the leak issue the short hose issue they cannot resolve.. Woe is me on that..
After thinking about receiving the replacement part I sent them an email & declined that offer.. Since I only had & used the unit for approximately 3 months & to think it needed a part replaced already gave me some concern on how long the unit would last & how well it was made; so I decided to box the WaterPik & put it in the closet with *memories of a learning experience for this senior*..
This is my first Waterpik and I am very impressed with it. There is so much water pressure when you turn it up to 10 but I keep mine around 4 and it cleans my teeth very good. I was amazed of how much junk in pulled out of my teeth and gums. After using the Waterpik I decided to use regular floss to see how well Waterpik held up. Regular floss found nothing!. I will be recommending this model to family and friends.
