Its kind of big for a “portable” but it’s ergonomic and the water storage container is a decent size. It does take 2-4 refills to complete but it’s very easy to refill so no complaints.
I purchased this model so I could use it in the shower and not make a mess. It fills easily but runs out fairly quickly due to the tank capacity. It is very hard to remove the water reservoir to clean it. I expected it to clean more deeply which is why I bought it. Dental floss is superior
Weak pressure / 45 seconds doesn’t feel like enough time. Have to refill reservoir 3-4 times to feel like my teeth are actually clean.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello L.vv- Thank you for your feedback on the WP-580. We're sorry to hear that you're not fully satisfied with the pressure. Although the pressure is not as strong as our countertop models, it is still effective for cleaning. The model is designed to be compact for those traveling or with limited counter space, which might require some users to refill the reservoir more than once. We also offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you would like to learn more, please call us at 1-800-525-2774 or email us at smreviews@waterpik.com.
Overall a good product. I have to get a towel to hold the main part after I am finished and want to empty the water out because it is slippery. I have to use an eyeglass cleaner cloth to dry out the inside.
I have used a Waterpik countertop flosser for years and loved it! It developed a leak so I ordered the portable and rechargeable handheld unit and have been very disappointed. It only hold enough water to floss a portion of my teeth so requires 2-3 fills. The worst part is that the water flossing pressure even when set on high is limp and is not enough to rid my teeth of some trapped debris not for them to feel that "squeaky" clean as my countertop unit did. I would not reccommend purchasing this unit which is not low-priced.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is my second portable Waterpik and there are many improvements over my previous model. I like that the siphon tube allows for complete emptying of the reservoir. also like that it is easy to turn the nozzle to different positions easily. I was sorry to see that my favorite tip was not included with my new Waterpik - the pocket tip. Everything else is great!
