Customer Reviews of WaterPik WP-65 Personal Dental Water Jet
Customer Review: During this period I have had quite a few different Water Pik units I'd say at least 6 .
Summary: 2 Stars
I have been using Water Piks for over 30 years and I believe that the use of Water Piks has been a major factor in helping me to maintain the condition of my teeth and gums.
During this period I have had quite a few different Water Pik units (I'd say at least 6). In most cases I have had to replace the units because of leaks in the hose. The cost of repairing the hose almost equals the cost of a new unit, so I always end up buying one. I object, not only to the cost of replacing my Water Pik every few years, but also to the effect on the environment of discarding so many of these machines.
Customer Review: In all fairness I bought a WaterPik unit almost 15 years ago and it lasted until this year...
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased one of these in June 2004. First one arrived and didn't work out of the box. Amazon was great and replaced it very quickly. Replacement item is now about three months old and has failed. Only used by one adult in the household. I would not recommend this unit. In all fairness I bought a WaterPik unit almost 15 years ago and it lasted until this year, in spite of the fact that it was used by two teen-agers and an adult!
The WP-65 seems to be basically JUNK, I cannot recommend it to anyone.
Customer Review: As an aside...
Summary: 1 Stars
The hose broke on my first WP-65 within the warranty period. The manufacturer replaced the unit but wouldn't guarantee the replacement unit. Within three months the handle of the replacement unit lost the ability to hold the piks and they would shoot out of the handle whenever I turned it on, rendering it unusable. I purchased my third WP-65 and within fifteen months the motor/pump seized. As an aside, all units were quiet when new but became excessively noisy within weeks - like a minature jackhammer. Can't someone at WaterPik design a high quality and reliable product?Customer Review: Can anyone recommend a good competitor?

Our first waterpik jammed within the first week, and we opened it up and pushed the little gear back in place several times. It would work for a while an then jam again. After a while, it would only last a day or so between breaks, so we took it back for a replacement.
The replacement lasted about two months befor it stated jamming too. As well as spraying out around the head and not holding the head.
It is loud and bulky, but I have to laugh at the other commenter who tries to get the whole apparatus under the tap -- You can fill the reservoir seperately and place it on the base later.
It does feel good to use, but I'm not sure I can put up with the dismal quality. Can anyone recommend a good competitor?
Customer Review: I suggest you do the same.
Summary: 1 Stars
Two of these have failed in two months, both for the same reason - the motor stopped working. I've used waterpiks for 10 years and never had any problems.
It seems as if this company has seriously lowered it's standards. I will be trying another brand. I suggest you do the same.
