Customer Reviews of Waterpik Water Flosser
Customer Review: WORKS GREAT!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I hesitated before purchasing this, just because of the unsatisfied comments others have made. But let me tell you, I now understand why they all made those comments and can say with conviction, THIS PRODUCT IS GREAT! I also experienced water leakage and no water pumping through. Both are simple fixes.
To prevent the water leaking, PROPERLY and FIRMLY place the reservior onto the unit. Doing so creates a seal and it wont leak. If it does, it wasnt placed on properly. Try it again, you will eventually get the hang of it. I only had 'leaks' the first couple days.
As for it not pumping any water when it is turned on, you just need to read the instructions. It says you need to PRIME it by removing the pic, placing the hose lower than the reservior, setting it to maximum, and turning it on until water runs through. This isnt a one time thing. You need to do this each night you use it; by doing so, it will work fine. If you dont, then water wont pump through until you PRIME it again. It only adds a few seconds to your routine, but nothing to be complaining to the company about.
The unit is a little noisy, but again, not enough to complain about, unless someone is trying to sleep.
It works great. I've had mine for about 6 months now, using it nightly, and other than getting oriented to a new product, I haven't had any problems with it.
Customer Review: Great WaterPik WP-65
Summary: 5 Stars
I have an older version of the WaterPik that is much simpler in design, and limited in versatility.
What I like:
A good range of useful attachments to enhance oral hygiene.
Good design of attachment and wand storage.
Controls are placed for ergonomic ease of use.
Easy attachment and removal of cleaning tool tips that are color coded for easy identification.
Water flow and pressure are easily adjustable and the wand rotates 360 degrees.
Large reservoir to hold enough water/mouthwash mixture to service two people.
The price was extremely good.
What I don't like:
The water flow cutoff button on the wand is hard to use and is a momentary off. I would prefer a button that is easier to operate. The quality of this one is poor.
The wand has a sloppy swival connection where the quick release coupling is connected to the main body of the wand. I would like to see a little less slop.
Summary: This is a great product and is reasonably priced. It has improved my health remarkably by helping keep my gums free of food debris in hard to reach areas. It is hard to believe how much food debris can be lodged in the gums and in between the teeth even after rigorously brushing, flossing, and rinsing with mouthwash.
Customer Review: Great product!

The first Waterpik I purchased was the portable rechargeable one. It was fine at first, but I left it for three weeks unplugged to go on a trip, and when I got back it would not charge at all. I still had my receipt so I took it back and was reluctant to buy another one. I did some research and decided to try the Personal Water Jet. So far it is great - it is not very noisy, easy to use, and I really like the lever that lets you adjust the pressure. I still haven't used it full force yet - there's plenty of pressure when the lever is put half way. I like that it came with two tips and the tongue cleaner. One thing I do after I use any type of mouthwash in the reservoir is afterwards I put in clear water and run it for 15-20 seconds to get the mouthwash out of the system. This makes sure there is not any build up in the lines. I read that this could help prolong the life of the appliance. I am saving my receipt, however, because there is a two year warranty and I can return it if something goes wrong.Customer Review: This EXTREMELY picky consumer, STRONGLY recommends you buy this product.

I am certainly NOT a dentist--nor am I anything close to a qualified evaluator of ANY medical equipment. But...I do have solid experience in engineering, and the hard and social sciences, and I LOVE the "WaterPik WP-65 Personal Dental Water Jet." I mix lots of water, with several tablespoons of Listerine--nearly filling the WaterPik's reservoir (all quite UNscientifically), and repeatedly, remain abundantly impressed with the junk this baby removes--and, how fresh my mouth feel thereafter. (I've also used the WaterPik, quite unconventionally, to blast out the gunk from my razor, my ear and nose hair clipper, and other tools). This EXTREMELY picky consumer, STRONGLY recommends you buy this product. (Tho' I think we would ALL like to see more convincing independent research on its long-term effectiveness on improving gum and dental health.)Customer Review: Nothing Compares to the WaterPik Products
Summary: 5 Stars
I had a Waterpik many years ago and it was a very good product. After many years of service it died. When I went shopping to replace it I decided to save a few bucks and buy a cheaper competitor. BIG MISTAKE ! The competitor did not hold enough water to adequately flush out the deposits without having to refill it nor did it have the power the Waterpik's have. It got returned and I got the WP-65 and am happy again. You would be surprised by the amount of debris that is hiding at your gum line that brushing (even power brushing) can't remove. You also gain the benefit of having your gums massaged by the pulsating action. Your dental hygene is not complete until you have finished up with the WaterPik...
