I bought this Water Pik on Employee Day. I have wanted this for a really long time. I am in love with this contraption! For loss of words. My teeth feel so much better as do my gums.
My dentist has been after me for a year to purchase a water pik but I kept giving excuses why I didn't buy one (afraid it would be too hard to use, too messy, etc). I finally caved in and purchased one and was pleasantly surprised. Super easy to use and I'm totally addicted to using it 2 times per day (my dentist will be happy to hear that at the next visit). The only thing I would change is that I wouldn't have purchased the dual unit but had to because of space limitations in our bathroom. There is no storage area for the toothbrush heads and my spouse and I have to switch heads twice a day. Not a problem of the unit just a personal issue.
I've been using this for nearly a month, and still have one bar left on my toothbrush with only one charge so far. The waterpik itself has made my gums healthier and reduced my tartar buildup. I nearly feel like I just left the dentist! I'm not 100% sure, but I think my teeth aren't being whitened as much because the bristles are normal soft bristles. It would be better if there were bristles incorporated that help whiten teeth, too. Please make this an option for replacment brushes! That's the only reason for 4 stars - otherwise it is a stellar product!!
I bought this item about a month ago and so far I'm quite pleased with my water pic. my teeth have never been cleaner. I have already encouraged a friend to purchase their own.
I've owned this combination unit for 3 weeks, and its operating well and doing a good job of oral hygiene for me. The toothbrush shares the pedestal with the water-pik irrigator - which provides a double-function unit. Although the toothbrush can easily fall off of the unit.
