The machinery is extremely loud. Would be nice to have a quieter version and one that doesn't utilize such a large quantity of water in a cleaning. I'm averaging 1-16oz bottle of water with every use of my Waterpik and I use my device at least twice a day. At the very least a water reservoir that can hold a large amount of water would be useful.
Sometimes the water doesn’t come out of the hand held tool and I have to fiddle with the tubing coming from the base to make it work.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Lucinda C - We are sorry to hear that this is happening. It could just need the jet tip replaced or the unit may need to be cleaned.

This newer Water Pik is a little easier to use and maintain and does the same great job of keeping my gums and teeth healthy as the original model which I had for many years
