I wish it were a little stronger, like the one for the home countertop. I found it had less pressure, and with tight spacing, a stronger flow works best. I also wish the water tank were a little larger, since I have to refill it at least once. Otherwise, I’d give it a 5-star rating for the size, portability, and ease of use.
within 3 weeks, the Waterpik started turning on in the middle of the night. I would turn it off and would turn on randomly. After some research online, it looks like water is getting into the electronics and causing the random turning on at night. I only use it at the sink and not in shower as advertised. Very disappointed as this is not cheap and it is a Waterpik.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have only been using my waterpik flosser for a few weeks but it works well. The reservoir holds enough water to be able to floss each area several times. I have not charged it since the first day. I’m very happy with this product.
I purchesed this product to use on my trip to England. I charged the Pik before my trip, The new waterpik did not work.

Hi my son really likes the Water pic that you sent us and I cleaned out the bottom and the top once a week for him so that he can keep it clean all the time thank you so much for sending it to us and he uses it for his top braces and his bottom teeth right now
Cord and Device melted causing potential fire risk

Received product and plugged in for initial charging. Woke up to find that the power cord and device had overheated and melted. Was very fortunate that this failure didn’t result in a fire. Combined with the timing of the overnight charging, this could have in resulted in a catastrophic event.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I hesitated to purchase a waterpik because I didn't think I'd use it. My dentist recommended this portable version and it's so easy to use I've been using it regularly. The chamber is large enough to do my whole mouth without refilling. I highly recommend this product.
I would recommend this to a friend!
