I purchased this item for my Wife. She love the action of the flosser and how it refreshes her entire mouth. She recommended this item to her Daughter.
I bought this since I enjoy the WaterPik unit I have at home that is not portable. This unit just doesn't have anywhere near the oomph that the countertop unit does. I wouldn't buy it again knowing what I know now
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We are sorry that you are not completely satisfied with the product. The pressure range for this unit is 45 PSI on low and 75 PSI on high and does not have the same maximum pressure output as our counter top models. However, lower pressure does not mean that it is any less effective. It is more about user preference.
I purchased this to clean at the gumline of my crowns. I enjoy the cordless convenience and the fact it removes small food particles missed by brushing and flossing.
I have used this for a month at bedtime. My teeth feel like I've just had them cleaned at the dentist every day. To test how good it cleans, I flossed and there was no plaque. LOVE IT!
I call it a mouth spa. Not a night goes by that I don’t use my 450, and sometimes in the morning. You can definitely feel and see the difference. So happy I purchased my waterpik.
Just a mess to use and I don't think the force is much.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
