I bought this as a replacement for a 2 1/2 yr old WP that the tubing had cracked on. I like this one better. It's quieter and just seems to handle better.
I owned a waterpik more than 10 years ago and stopped using it. I just bought this new one and it has been easy to use and seems more compact than I remember.
The water pic is nice but could use some improvements to make great. The hose to wand should be longer. The storage case should hold all the tips it came with. Replacement tips and accessories should be available at store where purchased unit.
I give this product very high recommendation as this is our second purchase of a waterpic which lasted longer than expected with all the usage it recieved.This new model so far has measured up to our last one and is even more attractive and seems to provide more power and extra items for oral mouth care.
