 Leaky Hoses September 16, 2004
13 out of 15 found this comment useful.
I have been using Water Piks for over 30 years and I believe that the use of Water Piks has been a major factor in helping me to maintain the condition of my teeth and gums.
During this period I have had quite a few different Water Pik units (I'd say at least 6). In most cases I have had to replace the units because of leaks in the hose. The cost of repairing the hose almost equals the cost of a new unit, so I always end up buying one. I object, not only to the cost of replacing my Water Pik every few years, but also to the effect on the environment of discarding so many of these machines.

My husband and I love it! Give us real clean feeling. Easy to use. Kinda loud since this is a tiny machine. Look nice and small size. :)

'would give 0 star if possible...This item is the worst product I have ever bought at Amazon. After just 3 days, it starts giving very loud noise -- as loud as a lawn-mower . I am trying to cope with the noise until it broke and stopped working. Now, I have a broken item with just more than 30-days old -:(... do not know what to do .....
does the job but could be designed better February 20, 2004

This machine does the job, no doubt about it. The powerful water jets clean all food debris away and massage my gums - I have braces so I use it instead of flossing, and my dentist said my gums were fine. The only problem I have with it is the design of the water reservoir. First of all, you can't fill the tank without picking up the fairly bulky apparatus and putting it underneath the faucet. I have a small sink so it's somewhat of a nuisance to do this. Secondly, the water reservoir isn't really 'attached' to the base at all, so it's pretty easy to knock the reservoir straight off of the base when moving it around or even turning it on, spilling water everywhere.

I recently purchased this item and am very pleased. I am a person who HATES to floss. After twenty something years of irregular flossing habits, I decided that I needed to do something. I read many reviews about WaterPiks, the Conair model, and a few others. I decided that this would be the best choice.The Good: Provides a very clean feeling.
Does not hurt.
Easy to use.
Attractive.
Quality Design.
It holds a lot of water.
You can mix mouthwash with the water. The Bad: Surprisingly Loud.
The coiled tube gets twisted and can be annoying to correct.
The "pause" button should be a "go" button. All in all, I am happy with my purchase. I recommend this product. --
Note: My mother was a dental hygienist for twenty years. After I purchased this product she informed me that people who overuse waterpiks can cause unwanted damage. Gums form a natural V in between the teeth, and excessive use can cause that tissue to recess. The key word is excessive. Use the product no more than two times a day.
