The toothbrush cleans incredibly well. It vibrates when to go to the next section and turns off when you should be done brushing. I have found myself still wanting to finish brushing after it turns off. I get a better clean, then with a manual toothbrush. The water flosser is a great addition to be included.
I like the weight, the footprint, and the two-in-one convenience of this unit for my countertop. My only complaint is that, being right-handed and having the unit on the right side of my countertop, I always feel like I have to remove the toothbrush in order to use the water pik, as the toothbrush tends to interfere with the water pik cords. I'd prefer to see the water pik on the right side.

Hello Kace - Thanks for your feedback. We are glad to hear you are enjoying the convenience of the WP-861 model. We greatly appreciate your feedback regarding the toothbrush and will pass it along to our Engineering team.
I should have bought one of these years ago. My gums look so much more healthy in just a month I can’t believe it. I always flossed the old way and didn’t realize how much stuff was left in my gums. To see it fall out of your mouth is very satisfying.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello there - Thanks for your feedback. We are happy to hear that you are satisfied with the WP-861 and noticing a difference in your gum health. We will certainly pass along your feedback to the rest of our team.
Overall it is an amazing product that leaves your mouth feeling as clean as if you left the dentist. The only minor nuisance is the the cost of replacement parts.
