Customer Reviews of Waterpik Water Flosser
Customer Review: WOW
Summary: 4 Stars
My first waterpik lasted 7 years. As a replacement, my wife picked up a Conair Interplak. What a piece of junk. I had to point it at my hand to see if it was moving any water.
Saw this on Amazon and bought it. WOW. Hopefully this will last 7 years like the first. Nice strong jet. No doubt that its cleaning along the gum line. The pause button does take a little force to hold down. Not one cavity in seven years since I began using a water jet.
After 3 months of use, it started leaking at the little rubber grommet at bottom of water tank. Will be calling WaterPik to get a replacement tank or grommet. Still no doubt that this little baby is getting the gum line clean. Waterpik replaced the tank grommet without hassel.
January 2009 - Still going strong after almost 3 years.
May 2010 - Still going after 4-1/2 years. Money well-spent.
Customer Review: Saved me pain n $$
Summary: 4 Stars
I have sensitive teeth. I bought this only a week ago n have seen an improvement. At first it was a messy learning proccess (should come with goggles,lol) but once you learn it is not that messy. If you have sensitive teeth make sure you have the lurkwarm water (like it states in book to use). I have already notice a difference in my teeth.
PROS- Works well. Easy to use (once you learn not to bathe yourself). Does get the stuff between your teeth. Multi setting allows you to control strength of water flow. For the price it is a nice deal. Place to hold up to 4 floss/tongue attachments.
Fill tank also flips to cover unit to keep clean.
CONS- Louder than you think it would be. The Pause button not really pratical (I always release it without thinking). Messy till you learn how to do it. Do Not overuse it or it will have adverse effects. Tank just a tad bit smaller than what I need for the 5-8 seconds per tooth (I need to refill it 1 time before I'm done).
Customer Review: better than using floss
Summary: 4 Stars
With this product I would say I am 90% pleased. It cleans between your teeth a lot better than flossing. Also it gets in between the teeth that are real close together with no problems. It does remove the tiny particles that flossing seems to leave behind.
The reason I only gave it 4 stars is: Reservoir could fit better. Most of the time I have to move it back & forth till the pressure comes thru the jet tip. Once I get that going it works fine. Also it would be better if they had the pressure control on the unit instead of handle. Being left-handed causes a problem because my thumb will push up the pressure level. But that I solved by putting tape on it to where I want the pressure level to stay at. The plus side is that it has a 2 yr. warranty on it and all in all it does the job it claims it will do.
Customer Review: WaterPik a great addition to oral care
Summary: 4 Stars
I had a WaterPik when, as an adult, I found myself with a mouth full of braces. It was a Godsend! All these years later I decided I needed another one, and I'm so pleased to have it! This water flosser is a fabulous addition to brushing and flossing as it blasts out debris from beneath bridges and in between teeth that sometimes get missed with traditional flossing. With all of the latest research on dental hygiene and cancer, longevity and overall health, this is a 'power tool' I won't be without.
I opted for the "cheap" model as I didn't need whistles and bells. Reviewers who have complained about poor pressure probably aren't adjusting it on the handle. I find the pressure just perfect, and adjustable!
I recommend this product.
Customer Review: Nearly the same, lower price
Summary: 4 Stars
The WP-65 replaced my six year old WP-70 on which the hose had finally developed a leak I couldn't fix. I wish they would have included their new under-the-gum spout and that they would re-issure the multi-holed sprayer that used to come with the appliance. Except for the color of the reservoir, this one is the same as and cost $15 less than I paid for the original. The only functional difference is the slider control on the head. The old one clicked distinctly into each of the five settings while the new one slips from one to another with just the slightest touch. I don't rate that an improvement. But if this one lasts as long as its predecessor, I'll count myself lucky.
