This is a great replacement for a standard water pick in only two circumstances. One, if you have limited counter top space in your bathroom which can’t accommodate a full size water pik, or when you’re traveling. The main problem with this “water flosser” is its lack of water capacity which limits you to a 15-20 second rinse at best when utilizing the highest setting. The other issue is the battery life, as there’s no pre warning to let you know that it’s time for a recharge, you can find yourself with a non functioning water pik if you’re not careful. My other major gripe is that it feels cheap. Other than that it seems to do a decent job cleaning.
This is my first time using a Waterpik and I absolutely love it. It is easy to use and it is much better than flossing. I still floss, but the Waterpik gets what flossing misses.
Hard to use reservoir is too small and requires many fill ups to do anything.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Babio - We're sorry to hear you would not recommend the WP-580. This model is designed to be compact, making it ideal for travel or those with limited counter space. Some users may need to refill the reservoir multiple times. If this is inconvenient, we suggest trying a countertop model with a larger reservoir. We also offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. For more information, please call 1-800-525-2774 or email smreviews@waterpik.com.
Love it! As a note, the tank is just big enough for 1 use. I found that I run out of water each time, which is probably normal. I love being able to take it with me in the shower, on trips, to another bathroom. I’m sure my dentist will love me on my next visit!
