My dentist recommended this waterpik. It is easy to set up and use. I look forward to using it. It has greatly improved the overall health and appearance of my teeth and gums. It removes all the food particles out between my teeth. I use the waterpic 3 times every day.
We had an old water pik that was purchased for my husband and never used. I pulled it out when I got braces as an older adult to start using it. It worked fine but was noisy. It died after a few months and I bought this one as a replacement. Wow - what a difference the improved features made! It's quieter and easier to use by far. The reservoir has a lid so my cats don't drink whatever water is left in it. it's easier to store the pik in between uses. Not only is it quieter but the on/off button is easier to find by feel while flossing. The old water pik was so loud that my cats wouldn't stay anywhere near it (they follow me everywhere I go) but this one is so quiet that the cat will drink out of the faucet while I lean over the sink using the water pik (only cat people will understand this). It came with a range of tips, one of which is designed specifically for braces, which I appreciate. And there is storage for (most of) the tips in the lid (I just put the one or two extras on top of the others, even though there wasn't a specific slot for them, and closed the lid). It's so easy to use I use it several times every day.
I am amazed at the amount of "stuff" that comes out of my mouth when I use it. I feel good knowing that all of that is exiting the premise rather than doing its dirty work in my mouth.
