Very disappointed to find out after we had started using the unit that the battery cannot be replaced. For the price, a charger plug should have been included. There is no explanation about the battery charging light, when it comes on, what flashing means, etc. Not sure we would buy this unit again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello BCKS- We're sorry you are disappointed. The WP-580 does not have a replaceable battery, but it is rechargeable. The box contents are listed on the side, and the charging cord works with most standard wall chargers, especially those with a 5V, 1A USB output rating. Additionally, we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you have any questions, please call 1-800-525-2774 or email smreviews@waterpik.com.
Even after brushing and flossing, I occasionally have food particles lodged between teeth, crowns, bridge, etc. The Waterpik solves that problem. It does the job but it takes some getting used to because of its bulk (necessary because it is cordless).
Bought this on recommendation by my dental hygienist. Very easy to use. Like the idea of no cords etc. I’m evidently slow because I have to fill water reservoir more than once. Have been using for 2 months. Went for a cleaning last week and she told me I didn’t have very much plaque this time! So it obviously works if you use it!
I love my waterpik. It is great on portability, lightweight, and compact. Great jet power and battery lasts a long time. Perfect for my individual hygiene needs.
Live the product. Does a great job of blasting away debris between my teeth. I mix water and mouthwash in the reservoir. I wish the tips didn’t break so easily if the unit gets tipped over.
