I purchased this about a month ago after being recommended by my dentist to get a Waterpik to reduce the inflammation of my gums and the plaque around my brackets. I have braces and this has helped tremendously with cleaning. My teeth haven't looked as clean and white since before I got my braces. The brush comes with three modes and I mainly use the whitening and the cleaning modes. The orthdontic Waterpik tip is amazing for cleaning your molar teeth and around your braces. I recommend this if you have any orthodontic devices. They assist so much with cleaning and I'm sure will eliminate or reduce the amount of yellow around where your brackets/device were when you get them removed.
The toothbrush is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to remove from the base.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love it! Never knew how great it would feel using a waterpik to floss with. Always thought they were only used for people with braces, how wrong I was!
You get a great feeling of clean and it cleans areas to hard to reach with regular floss. The ultrasonic electric toothbrush is like cleaning with music, such a wonderful hum and moves so fast. No need to move brush back and forth like traditional brushes and it cleans so much better than a regular brush.
Planning to purchase a second unit for the downstairs bathroom which can be used immediately after eating.
Highly recommend to everyone with teeth or dentures.
