 Pity: not in Canada October 24, 2008
This is the best oral irrigator: strong motor, narrow jet, ordinary AAA battery compartment, convenient collapsible water reservoir, easy clenaing.
Replacement for a Waterpick handheld with its weaker pump motor, a rechargeable internal battery that doesn't last. I had to chase around until I found a source that delivers to Canada. For some strange reason Panasonic does not sell it nor lists it here.
Very prompt delivery.

The jet is not strong enough for my liking (does not work on pineapple for example!)
 Good Portable Unit October 18, 2008
This Irrigator performs fairly well, but not great. I bought it as a replacement for my WaterPik that unfortunately died after one year of use. The WaterPik was cordless with a rechargeable battery and it was somewhat more powerful. You could not, however, travel with it unless you brought along its base unit. This unit (Panasonic) uses disposable batteries that require replacement each month if used daily. It is, however, therefore better for travel than the WaterPik. I think while the Panasonic is not quite as powerful it probably does an adequate job of cleaning the gum pockets; which my dentist says is the real benefit of using an Irrigator. I use it everyday after brushing and my dentist says he sees an improvement in my dental hygiene and, more specifically, health of gums.
Great portable device October 16, 2008
I'm on my third one of these and really like them. They work well and seem well designed. The water tank is a bit small, so you will end up filling the unit multiple times (I generally need 2-3) per use. I bought this to use on trips, but have been using it also at home because I find it takes little space on the back of the sink and does the job well. Using daily, I've been getting about a year out of these units.
 wonderful portability October 12, 2008
Have three of three in the last 2 years; It is great (but one has to keep fresh batteries in it,obviously,or the water pressure can be limited after the battery powers down); I wish there were some method to chemically clean the inside as depending on the state of ones water (I live in NYC where the water is Good, actually) but probably with a fair amount of chem's and I suspect ,over a shorter period than I would like-that the Interior gets a bit of
'brown stuff' (don't ask me what it is) but to try to avoid this, I leave the little cover open and this helps dry out the inner water chamber and its parts.
I have NEVER had a good experience with the corded Water Pics which are awkward and so on so THIS IS IT.
Good product, but one has to dispose of it when the interior (which I'd love to figure out how to effectivey clean!)
