I bought the Waterpik WP-100 for gingivitis and early periodontal disease - my gum pockets were about 4mm in July. I went back to the dentist near the end of November and after a few months of using the Waterpik Jet tip (2x/day) and the PikPocket tip (1x/day), my gum pockets went down to 3mm - even 2mm in some places! I add H2O2 to the water once a week when I use the PikPocket tip, and I add mouthwash once a week when I use the Jet tip.
I would definitely recommend this product to anyone interested in improving their oral health or anyone who finds it difficult to floss everyday. The Waterpik is a lot more easy to use than floss, once you get the hang of it. I will continue using my Waterpik daily and flossing occasionally!
Having been using for about 30 days. Very impressed with how clean my teeth, gums and mouth feels. So much better than just brushing and flossing. Especially works well around my bridge and crowns. Would give 5 stars if the little hose was more flexible and maybe a little longer - plus need to figure out a better way to store that hose, always hard to put away. I like all the choices of attachments and different levels of water pressure. You can really customize the unit for yourself. Have encouraged others to buy a unit for themselves and see how good their mouth and gums feel. Very happy with purchase :-)
This waterpik is great. I brush my teeth first, then use the waterpik and it gets my teeth really clean. The machine is not loud but it isn't quiet either. I'm still learning how the other tips work, but as for the main tip its fantastic. I would recommend this to anyone. I love that you can adjust the pressure. Just a word of advise, if you do purchase this product; make sure you use room temperature water in the water basin. I used cold water my first go and it hurt my teeth. It may not bother you either way but my teeth are sensitive and I just wanted to warn you.
I have been using for nearly a month. I bought this as I had braces a second time as adult, recently got tops off with a permanent bonded retainer. I figured getting a Waterpik could only help. It takes up small space on counter, very light weight, large selection of brush heads and quieter then I might have expected. Sure if you turn up the pressure, there's slightly more noise as motor is working harder, but I don't find it any more bothersome than my Sonicare toothbrush. I have found that even after heavy flossing, using the Waterpik gets more debris out of gums. I have no complaints about this product & already recommended to friends & family.
I have purchased 3 previous Waterpiks and this model WP-100 is just not as powerful as others I have had. The design is great but water force not so much.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I've been using Waterpik for decades now, my first one was a gift from my parents. Excellent for total and thorough dental health. One flaw however, is the fact that the flexible plastic tubing wears out after about two (2) years of use. Suggestion: make a repair kit with a glue suitable to mend and weld the tubing where it breaks down.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love it and can not due without. I use this product every other day
It was time for me to buy a replacement for my old WaterPik that bought over 10 years ago. I like the new design for many reasons. First the reservoir has a cover, which also holds the attachments. I like this seeing the old one didn't. I like that the control for the pressure is on the base instead of on the handle which makes it easier to adjust. It's much easier to change attachments than on the old one. Lastly the new one has many more attachments than my old one. I do wish that the new one had just a little bigger reservoir but beyond that I can't say anything bad about the new one. I only hope it lasts as long as my old one did.
