Editorial Reviews: Recommended by dental professionals, the family oral irrigator effectively fights gingivitis by cleaning where brushing and flossing can't reach. Pulsating jets of water - 1,200 per minute - reach and deep clean between teeth and under the gum line to reduce harmful bacteria. Can be used with water, mouthwash or any anti-bacterial rinse, and is safe for use with braces, crowns or bridgework. There's a button to control pressure, increasing or decreasing depending on the person, and a button to pause water flow. Comes with four color-coded jet tips so each person knows which one is his or hers, perfect for the entire family. Also included is a tongue cleaner to freshen breath.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Plastic supply hose is junk! (and they know it...) Comment: I have owned several WaterPiks over the years and the biggest problem is the junky plastic supply hose that gets brittle over time. Once it gets brittle there is no fixing it, as cutting off a little piece on the end and reattaching it to the handle only works for maybe one or two more uses, then it starts leaking and you have to do it again. After you do this about a dozen times you are ready to scream! So I bought the replacement hose on-line (about $15 with shipping for a 50 cent part!!!) and opened up the unit (have to use a couple small screwdrivers to pry open the tabs on the bottom, but pretty easy). But when I tried attaching the new hose to the little plastic nipple on the pump that it attaches to, the nipple broke. Poor, cheap design...the nipple should be made of metal!!! So now the unit is toast. Not worth trying to get a new pump for it. I firmly believe that WaterPik could easily provide their units with a higher quality plastic supply line that doesn't get brittle after just a few years use, but they won't do that because they want you to buy a new one. And they don't want you to try fixing it either. Note -- I did try finding some other hose that would work. The closest I came is some rubber windshield washer hose (avaiable at auto parts stores, cheap) that is 3/32" ID and 5/32" OD. But the problem with the rubber hose it that it restricts the flow of water...the flow is not nearly as powerful as the plastic tubing. And I couldn't find any plastic hose of that size at Home Depot, Lowes, hardware stores, etc. So you are stuck having to order the WaterPik replacement hose at top dollar. If you do, be VERY careful attaching it to the pump! Customer Rating: Summary: Waterpik Family size Comment: We like the size of the water bowl and the force of the water jet. We have had other ones but like this one the best. A 5 star item. Customer Rating: Summary: Smile.... Comment: This is a very fine product and the whole experience was positive. Be aware that it is shipped via parcel post and that takes 30 days from the mainland to Maui. I think they paddle it over in a canoe. This is the 3rd. or 4th waterpik we've purchased and this is a very good one and the price was best available. Customer Rating: Summary: what a difference a waterpik makes! Comment: Too many little attachments for the storage space in the lid on the individual model. This one gets it right. Powerful stream blasting junk from between one's teeth. Nice. Hitting one's uvula is not pleasant on the higher settings. It's better than periodontic treatments on the budget. If it lasts a year, it's worth it. Customer Rating: Summary: Top Quality Unit! Comment: This is my 2nd unit of this same kind. My first units lasted about 3yrs until the end piece came off at the connection. The motor still worked I just could not re-connect it. This unit is the most powerful on the market. It blows off plaque like no other and it is the most powerful model available. I checked their motor specifications on their website. If you want the most cleaning power this is it. If you have bridges or braces you will want to buy the rubber tipped bridge adapters. The older ones from my same family model worked perfectly. They last a really long time and do the best job--buy one! The others don't have as much power and don't blow out as well under bridges and through braces. This is the one! Buy it! It is a little noisy, but you need raw power to blow out food particles. The hand held self-contained units don't cut it! ***** More Reviews
