I was happy to by this product, however the (cheap) stenciled on pause button only works sporadically on the low settings and not at all on the on the higher settings. If I load the reservoir with anything but cold water, it leaks all over. I have sensitive teeth and need to use warm to hot water, which relaxes the stopper and leaks all over. I appreciate the second unit for travel, but if you are going to give away something, give away the shower unit. I was going to buy the shower unit but after having this for three months and have to constantly clean up after using it, I have shied away.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought my WaterPik about 3 weeks ago and so far it is GREAT!! I have 2 implants and food always gets stuck. I can't believe how well the WaterPik cleans out all that debris. My mouth feels so clean and fresh afterward. The only thing I would change would be to make the curly cord attached to the wand a bit longer.
This device is so handy, easy to use and makes my mouth feel great. It's also a bonus that the look reminds me of a Star Wars Stormtrooper, a real plus in my book!
Have been using it for about a month and could not be more pleased with clean feeling it provides. Not just a clean feeling, but it does a great job of cleaning my teeth; better that I can do with regular flossing.
I had one, many years ago. My dentist advised ne to get another, so I did. The handle "shut off" feature is the best, when it comes time to either start or stop cleaning. You don't get soaked or spray the bathroom! Thanks!
I went to a new dentist thinking that to be able to keep deep pockets clean and fresh I would probably need a periodontist / extraction/ implant / etc. He suggested a waterpik first. It's made all the difference. Funny that my dentist and his hygienist I have seen for several decades never mentioned this---maybe they have grandchildren now that they also want to put through college in addition to the fortune I have paid them through the years.
