This is the first water flosser I have ever purchased, so I can't compare it to any other models or brands. I have always used string floss and will continue to do so. The Waterpik will be an adjunct to string flossing. I think the power cord should be longer to accommodate different bathroom configurations. I need to use an extension cord. It's nice that several different tips are included, but I have no use for most of them. The unit is small enough to fit on my limited counter space. It has a wide range of pressure settings. The water reservoir is a very good size, and you can store the tips in the lid, which is a great feature. Overall I think a waterpik is a great tool for maintaining oral health, but it should definitely not replace string floss.
Bought this waterpik to remove anything that is left after string flossing. This waterpik does an excellent job - my whole mouth, gums and teeth feel really clean.
The waterpik is awesome! What is not awesome is the fact that I just moved to a new apartment that does not have an outlet near the sink. Because the pik is not cordless, I now have to do my teeth at the kitchen sink. So disappointed. However, the job it does cleaning my teeth is amazing! I will simply have to tuck it away when family and friends come to visit.
