Customer Reviews of WaterPik WP-60W Personal Dental Water Jet System
Customer Review: The motor is very loud and sounds like an old rusty boat motor and shakes itself around my counter.
Summary: 3 Stars
Look at the photo carefully. See the tub up on top where the water goes? It's not attached permanently. It just kind of wobbles up there with a small gasket around the hole in the bottom where the water is fed into the motor. In other words, if you were to remove or bump the tub while it has water in it, it will spill over everything. Also, you can't leave any water in it and place the mouth piece in its holder or set it on your counter for a moment, as it begins to slowly drain water if it's not held higher than the level of the water--a syphoning effect occours.The tube that extends from the unit to the mouthpiece is cheap and way too short (hardly 3 feet) and it's so strongly coiled it ends up hardly being able to reach 2 feet.
The motor is very loud and sounds like an old rusty boat motor and shakes itself around my counter. (I learned setting it on a towell helps to immobilize it, and quiet it a bit, which is good because I'll also have a towell ready in case I bump into the tub.)
Why then do I use it? Well, because it actually works! Once I mastered the art of using this half-baked contraption, I found my mouth, teeth, and gums are cleaner than ever. The stream of water it puts out is very powerfull and "Piks" up where brushing and flossing leave off. I'd gladly buy a better brand if one existed, but to my knowledge, WaterPik are the only ones making such a machine. I think that explains why WaterPik has cut so many corners making this thing--no competition! No one else wants to make them.
Customer Review: As another reviewer pointed out...
Summary: 3 Stars
As another reviewer pointed out, potential flooding and definite noise have to be dealt with, but it's not too difficult to learn the tricks needed to keep water going where you want it. My current one, several years old, has finally burst the water feeder coil, and has a lot of miles on it, so I dropped in to get a new one.I'm hooked on my Pik, despite its flaws, because it really finishes up a teeth cleaning job. I have some pockets along my gum line that flossing and my Sonicare (which I love) just don't clean well enough, making for some nasty breath and potential greater problems, but the Water Pik takes no prisoners. Gunk is gone!
The Pik also gives the gums a great massage, and when I'm done, I know I've done everything possible to keep my teeth happy and firmly connected to the rest of me.
Customer Review: It appears to be leaking water from inside the handle therefore no water pressure at all.
Summary: 1 Stars
Purchased the WP70W model two months ago. It is already nearlynon-functional. It appears to be leaking water from inside the handle therefore no water pressure at all. I have purchased
Teledyne Water Piks in the past and they didn't last very long
either. It had been a few years since I used this model, so I
decided to try them one more time. Big mistake. The Braun Oral-B
MD-15 Oxyjet is your better bet.
Customer Review: I love it...
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm on my 3'rd water pick. I love it, but each one I've owned had to be replaced because the little tubing ends up breaking and seemingly can't be repaired.Customer Review: Like others have mentioned...
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought my first Water Pik in about 1970 at the recommendation of my dentist at that time. I think that I am on my 5th one now. I think that they have each lasted about 5 years on the average. Like others have mentioned, generally the hoses fail. In more recent years they have not allowed us to get hose parts and repair this ourselves. There have been years when I did not replace a failed Water Pik. However, I keep coming back to using Water Pik and am hooked on using it. I am especially dependant on Water Pik for a good cleaning of the few dental food pockets that I have. It has also helped me to have healthy gums.
