Our son began using this model when he got braces. The first one lasted 4 years. When it quit working, we bought the same model but in a different color.
Actually, this is my first water jet dental cleaner - At the advice of my hygienist, I was needing to purchase one, and she recommended this line - I am happy that I selected this model - just enough water supply to get a good cleaning/flossing, and love the additional tools that come with it - Unit is not as large as I thought; it fits well on the bathroom counter. - Would recommend!
The WaterPic is very effective in preventing periodontal issues. One suggestion is that the electrical cord should be retractible so that the pic can be easily stored when not in use
I was happy at first when I purchased, but the handle leaks a lot even on the holder and then the holder broke so soon I have to maneuver it to keep it upright and from leaking.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I practiced dentistry for 30 years and was a professor of dentistry at one of the prestigious universities. The focus of my career was fixed prosthodontics (crowns, bridges, etc.). Most of my patients received complete oral restoration. I always strongly encouraged the use of the Warerpik, for all my patients.
Got this from my husband about a month ago cuz we couldn't find my old one after we had moved this is so much better so many more features so many more attachments absolutely love it
I bought this about a month before my semi annual cleaning, the hygienist said my oral hygiene was excellent. That's the best ever review I've ever received!
