Less effective than the corded version of it, the Waterpik® WP-580 still offers decent performance for users prioritizing portability. While its cordless design makes it convenient for travel or smaller bathrooms, the water pressure and tank capacity fall short compared to full-sized, corded models. The rechargeable battery is a plus, but it can weaken over time, leading to inconsistent pressure. It's good for light flossing needs, but those with more intensive dental care routines may find it lacking. If you value power and continuous flow over portability, sticking with a corded model might be the better option.
The first one had to be reset before each charge. Waterpik replaced it and the new one works perfectly. I previously used a counter model. I love the rechargeable version.

Replaced an older unit with the new model, disappointed that the charger was not included, so purchased one that matches specs, 5V 1.0A, but unit will not charge.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I chose this portable unit because it can be used in the shower, reducing splatter around the sink. My experience with this unit was average in its operation. I like that there are several tips to choose from in the box and, many professionals recommend that this unit can be used for more than one person because of this feature. However, the color of the rings to differentiate the tip is suboptimal: the choices are white and very light gray, not very evident to see the difference. It was very disappointing that I had to go find a charger from my phone because Waterpik only provides a cable with a USB end that must be plugged into the buyer's existing power adapter. The magnetic contact of the charger is also not intuitive. This cutting of corners has me wondering about the quality of construction of this unit.
Excellent Device. I'm constantly amazed at how much hidden food remnants it removes every time I use it.
I would recommend this to a friend!
