My wife and I use the unit and are happy with the results. I will be getting one of my own because the unit we have is in my wife's bathroom and I have to go there to use it.
I bought this because at age 64 I got orthodontic braces. Although I use conventional floss nightly I still got tenacious plague. The water flosser made it extremely easy to keep on top of the problem. I am VERY PLEASED with my purchase of the water flosser.
This is my third counter-top unit so I obviously like the way it cleans. I tried the portable unit twice and both failed to perform. Reliability problems seem to plague the units but I can not find a replacement.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I recently purchased this WP-100 to replace an earlier version which I had used for a number of years. I have been very pleased with the results of using the waterpik because it has kept my dental work to a minimum (twice a year cleaning). It is very easy to use. I have learned over several years that it is best to empty the water container after each use and drain any water in the tubing by running the unit briefly. That keeps it fresh and ready to use next time.It's also important to use it at least once daily (along with brushing your teeth) for the best dental results. For the most effective results, run the unit for a few seconds to permit the pulsations to engage fully and then apply it to your teeth (point it into the sink, switch on the handle then switch it off to place into your mouth and then switch it back on). Overall this product does a very effective job of maintaining and improving dental health.
I just got braces and don't have the time or energy for flossing with braces. I can use my water pic in a short amount of time and can clean between my teeth and around my braces thoroughly without flossing. What great product! Thanks, Waterpic!
This is my first Waterpik and so glad I bought it. It is extremely easy to set up and use. I like to mix a little mouthwash in the water tank, just a cap full, to make it more refreshing. My dentist was glad I got it and said looking forward to seeing positive results at my next appointment.
