Customer Reviews of Panasonic EW1270AC Portable Oral Irrigator
Customer Review: Works great for a portable
Summary: 5 Stars
It was time for a change since my third waterpik broke (to be fair, that was over a span of several years). I intended to use it mostly as a backup when I buy another plugin irrigator, but it's been doing so well I haven't bought a replacement plugin one yet. I've been using for two months now and I would recommend it.
Pro: Very compact compared to a plug in one. No high pressure hose line to break (a major fault in waterpiks). Powerful enough. Well constructed.
Con: Need to refill at least twice and possible more for each cleaning (depending on how fast you move that nozzle around). No pressure control. Pressure varies with battery power. Refill opening cover gets lot of use - it's a snap lid.
Update Nov 2008: It keeps on going, and going... Using it everyday and on travel and haven't even thought about buying a Water-pik again. Hint: use a high capacity rechargeable (>2500man) - makes a BIG difference.
Customer Review: My First Oral Irrigator
Summary: 5 Stars
Despite the fact that I am in my 60s this is my first oral irrigator. I can't tell you how much fun I had during my first use spraying water all over the bathroom.
Seriously, it appears well made and very easy to use. I have had no problems during the month or so that I have been using it.
Positives
easy to use
well made
the door to the water compartment has occasionally come loose but is held on by a squeeze mechanism, not
pins. When it comes off it is not broken. You just slip it back into place.
Negatives (all not very important)
It tskes two tanks of water to do my entire mouth. A very minor inconvenience.
The two required AA batteries do not last very long (a week or two). Unless you have a secret source
you are going to want rechargeables.
This seems to be a reliable PORTABLE instrument at a bargain price.
Customer Review: Dental check-up Proves Worth
Summary: 5 Stars
After using the Panasonic Oral Irrigator for 6 months, my dental check-up was great. Periodontal pockets that were detected on earlier exams were smaller. My dentist wondered what my regimen was.
This is good for your heart also as the size of these pockets has been found to be correlated with heart disease (http://www.perio.org/consumer/ecg.htm). So this small electric oral irrigator is good for your heart also!
The oral irrigator is very fast and easy to use. It takes seconds to fill and minutes to use. That is important for those things you are "supposed to do daily" but never seem to have the time to do. The oral irrigator takes up very little counter space and is not a mess if you bump into it (like the larger irrigators with open reservoirs). The pressure is very good and apparently my gums are impressed!! And so is my Dentist!
Customer Review: Panasonic EW1270AC Great Little Irrigator
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this Panasonic Irrigator exactly six months ago, right after my routine dental check up and cleaning. I have had every Oral Irrigator that has been on the market, and this by far is the best one. I love it, it's small, it's easy to take on trips, and I saw somewhere that the batteries die quickly. I've changed the batteries, to date, only once, and I use it every single morning. It doesn't hold a lot of water so I just refill it again to make sure I get a thorough cleaning, and my mouth feels great.
It seems to be doing a darn good job so far, I don't suffer from bleeding or sore gums. I gave this Panasonic irrigator 5 stars, because I can't find anything at all to complain about. Try the Panasonic EW1270AC Portable Oral Irrigator, I think you will be pleased with the results.
Customer Review: GREAT FOR WHEN AWAY -- STUPID TO USE AT HOME
Summary: 5 Stars
Perfect little item to put in a suitcase when going away. The intensity of the water stream is pretty good and does the job. I have to fill the tank 3-4 times. It's easy to do and takes just a second. I suggest that you pry open the package carefully and use it to pack it when going away. The plastic packaging is a perfect protector of this little appliance when packed in a suitcase.
DO NOT USE THIS AT HOME. If you're serious about maintaining dental health, you'll use a full-size water pik at home. I am currently using this one and think it's great: Waterpik Ultra Dental Water Jet. Bought it here in amazon.
Update: bought it February 2008. Used it 20 times maybe. By the summer of 2010, it stopped working. Tried multiple sets of fresh batteries. Buh-bye.
