Bought this on the recommendation of a friend and am very satisfied, so far. I am looking forward to seeing if my next dental checkup shows an improvement. Flossing is difficult in some of the spaces where my teeth are very close together, so this works much better.
its very loud. If you select the last setting, the water can be depleted after two uses.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We are sorry that you are not happy with the product. It is a motor driven appliance and as with other common household motor driven appliances, some noise is normal. The reservoir is not designed to store water. We actually recommend that you empty the reservoir after each use.
My family are first time users of any type of waterpik. It’s not child friendly, unless you like water sprayed all over the place and the kids have a hard time not drinking the water that should be spit out. This review isn’t against the waterpik company itself, but I thought it would be easier to use for children. Even my myself I don’t like to use it, I’d rather use the good old dental floss!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We are sorry to hear you are not completely satisfied with the product. There can be a bit of a learning curve when you start water flossing. Here is a link to our how-to video:https://youtu.be/tmBcEf2jfks

I guess it works just fine - if you are familiar with how a water pik works. I've never had one before and the instructions are written for someone that has had one previously. I still prefer a manual toothbrush but my dentist wanted me to get one.

Hello IASS - We are sorry you had some trouble getting the hang of the WP-100 unit. There is definitely a trick to using the water flosser. Here is a link to a quick video that might help. https://youtu.be/6lWWbOqMhdQ
Sometime the water does not flow out of the pic, it can be erratic and annoying. Once it starts, it's ok, do not see as much food removal as I expected.
