I suck at flossing, and this was the first step towards a happier mouth. The price point was fantastic and the brush is extremely soft. Love the timed brushing, and the water cleaner is a warm flush. It's not messy if you use it right. Comes with extra brushes and options for water cleaning. My dental hygienist suggested Waterpik, so this is Step 1. Next step is flossing more than once a year before my appointment ;)
I like the product very much. Well thought out for usage except for the coiled cord on the water pick. you can only use for a short distance and it REMAINS coiled. I could see why children might not like, and especially older people--like myself--would find this rather alarming. I still gave it a 4 of 5 rating.
