Better than dry flossing but needs larger water co

I have never used a water flosser but need to do better by my gums. At first I was pretty messy as I would forget to turn it off when removing it and would spray all over. I would like to see a button that you could hold down to turn on and release to turn off. Also I wish the glosser had a larger capacity as I need to refill it again before I am done. Otherwise it gets the missed food out.
I am very disappointed with this water pik. My previous one with a tank was much easier to use. This one is awkward for my elderly hands, needs refilling too often and doesn't seem as powerful as my old one.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I was hoping for larger water capacity since this says it is 7 oz. And previous waterpik was 6 oz., but it doesn’t last any longer. It also isn’t as strong.
I truly love the purpose of WaterPik products. I am still adjusting to this model. Initially, the discharge was draining all over the unit. By only targeting my gaps from the outside and not the inside, I am reducing the discharge on the unit and my hands. I wish the reservoir were a little larger, but by targeting at the exterior only, I am able to complete cleaning all gaps. I had some concerns about the reservoir not fully drying between uses, but by keeping the fill door open, the unit appears to dry satisfactorily. I know this product is improving my dental health.
