This is our third Waterpik. Noticed a change with this product that the stream is not as fine, hence the water seems to be used up a little faster. Still, overall a great product!
We are very happy with our water pik purchase. It is a great price at Costco. And, we love the versatility and the inclusion of a travel kit. My husband uses the main unit and I use the travel one. It really helps get the food from our teeth that neither a brush or floss can reach. It will definitely save on dentist bills!
This is my second Waterpik. The first one lasted 5-6 years before the handle finally broke off the hose from so much use. The Waterpik removes food from between teeth that was left behind after brushing. You would be surprised how much it removes. You can vary the pressure of the water so that it's comfortable for you. I use it every night in addition to my regular brushing and flossing. My dental hygienist told me the Waterpik is a fantastic aid for her daughter who has braces and she is now a believer.
I did buy my waterpik about a month ago and I like it very much, it is more compact than my previous one and takes up less room. It turns on and off quite easily which is much better than my previous waterpik. The only thing that concerns me and maybe it is okay is the holder for the pik. It seems a bit fragile and I can see if falling off in a few years but as I said maybe it is okay. Outside of that it is a superior product.
