I bought this at the recommendation of my hygienist but when I use it I have to make sure that I have not completely prepared for bed because it drenches my face
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We are sorry that you are having difficulty using the product. Please follow or copy the link below to a helpful video on how to use the product and prevent water spray.
I’m a first time waterpik user. I originally brought this product because I was having a very hard time flossing my back molars. I was blown away with how clean my mouth was after the very first use! The only thing is you have to change the flosser heads for low or high power. They do make a model where you don’t, but for a first time user I would recommend this product just to get used to the feeling and process of a water flosser.
I have had this for almost a month. I see such a difference. It's easy to use and rechargeable. I have already recommended one to my family and friends. My dentist is pleased with my results too.
