Hard to handle and a mess when used. We got this because my daughter has braces but it makes such a mess that it is barely even used. And yes, we watched a tutorial.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Barbara - We are sorry to hear that you and your daughter are finding it difficult to use. There is a bit of a learning curve for new users. Here is a link to a short how-to video that has great tips on how to prevent a mess. https://youtu.be/Ia46JK-TvpE
This is our first purchase of a water flosser. Our dentist recommended that we buy one that has the approval of the ADA. We chose this one based on that and it’s compact size. It didn’t take long to get used to using it. I guess our next dental appt. will tell how well it has performed, but so far we are happy with our purchase.
