20 Best Waterpik For Tonsil Stones (2023 Updated)

I purchased the Waterpik WP-560 on the recommendation from my dentist. Have never used a waterpik in the past I was very open minded. I read lots of reviews to kind of get an idea what I might be in for.

Most all of the other reviews are correct. The self contained unit is quite balky, especially for my wife with smaller hands. Definitely doesn’t hold near enough water. To do all of my teeth adequately I have to fill the reservoir 3 times.

Being that it’s SO messy to use, I get in the shower to blast my teeth. The positive thing about this unit is, it does the job!! My teeth feel much cleaner after brushing and using it, than just flossing and bushing.

My dentist should be tickled now because I’m doing all 3. Floss, brush, then hose everything out with the waterpik. I wouldn’t feel comfortable recommending to family and friends, because of the hassles to use I mentioned above.

I upgraded to the Waterpik Advanced from the Waterpik Cordless Plus and I’m super happy with my purchase. I’ve had my last one for about 2. 5 years and my biggest gripe was that according to the instructions, the battery degrades much quicker than the advanced version and you were meant to charge it after each use (which means it basically was supposed to be on charge all the time).

The best thing I like about this new model is that there is a batter indicator and the battery is supposed to be much better quality so you don’t have to put it on charge as much, and it doesn’t need to leave the bathroom as it charges with a shaver plug instead of a wall one.

It’s a pretty significant price difference but I use my Waterpik twice a day so when you split that up into how often you use it over the years, you end up still spending probably less than if you’re buying floss sticks.

I have fixed retainers so the Waterpik is great for getting around them too. Definitely recommend a Waterpik in general even if you go for the next model down, but this model is excellent and I still think for the quality it’s definitely worth the money.

I have had two Waterpik cordless flosses in the past. I loved them both, but lost them in a series of moves. I received the Watepik water Flosser, and it is a worths successor to my previous ones. The flosser is great feeling in the hand, smaller than my past two.

The quality is great, feels solid. I have used it for two weeks now, and have charged it once. The tips are the typical quality WaterPik, and very efficient to use. The 4 included tips work very well.

The flossier is very quiet. Most importantly is does a fantastic job cleaning. It hold 45 seconds of water, which was perfect for me. I used regular floss after using the flosser, and it came out clean.

I have a full sized Waterpik, and two Waterpik shower heads, and they are all of the highest quality.

I could not give this a very good review. Of all the Waterpik products I’ve used, this one was disappointing. The unit stands on the sink counter. People w/small countertops (mine) = a problem because cord becomes a tether.

The water reservoir is small capacity & a bit difficult to fill. Only 2 ‘speed’ settings. The entire device must be held to be operated-it is clumsy & cumbersome – a detachable unit with a ‘dock’ for charging would be better design.

It must be held ONLY in upright position making access to inner tooth surfaces difficult. Positives: Full charge lasts for more than 1 use. High Waterpik quality. Design flaws were only drawbacks for me.

I still like & trust Waterpik products.

This cordless flosser is a nice improvement if you already use the bigger non-cordless ones or looking for a new water flosser. Much more convenient that the string flossers and leaves mouth with freshness.

The portable one is convenient and I’m still running with the initial charge, it is about a week with 6 uses and still going strong. Easier to hold and maneuver the tip inside the mouth. If you are a first time user, it take couple of times to not spill water all over.

Water reservoir seems small, I always end up refilling to complete my flossing. But I guess bigger reservoir will make it heavier. No complaints.

My new dentist informed me of his recommended way to keep debris out of receding gums and keep teeth cleaner using a water flosser/irrigator. When his assistant came to speak with me she suggested a cordless model to use on vacation and in the shower.

I didnt know of any aside from the original, WaterPik. When I researched online I saw the AquaSonic. The AquaSonic price is about half the cost of the original. So far, its amazing. Yes, it has to be refilled more frequently than a corded model but, for me, I believe its well-worth this slight inconvenience.

I use it daily and have it next to my electric toothbrush. Ive only had it about a week but it kept running for almost a week without a recharge. Everything you need is included. I cannot determine how long it will perform but it feels pretty well constructed.

The battery life will be the real test of time. I would recommend this model to anyone looking for a portable/cordless water flosser.

My dentist suggested I get a waterpik to clean around some older crowns. I selected this cordless one because I thought it would be easier to not have the water tube between the appliance and the mouthpiece.

What I failed to consider was that I’d be maneuvering the entire appliance around my mouth! I’m sure I’ll get the hang of it eventually. Currently I have problems shifting from one side to the other and the front of my teeth to the back.

If I was doing it again I probably would start with a countertop unit. It might be difficult with the countertop unit but maybe a little less cumbersome! Hopefully in a few weeks I’ll be looking back and wondering how I could have been so awkward! It does leave my teeth feeling clean (and the bathroom mirror and everything else I accidently spray!).

The Waterpik Water flosser is not great. I bought it to replace an old Oral-B Braun Professional Care Oxyjet Irrigator, and it seems like a huge step backward. Because the whole Waterpik unit is held in your hand, it’s heavy, bulky, and slow to move, which means you can’t get good aim at your gum-line and between your teeth.

If you can’t aim it then you can’t clean your teeth effectively. And there’s only two pressure settings: high and low (too low). The water tank is so small it runs out after a few seconds. It feels like a bad design all-round.

On the other hand, the Oral-B Irrigator Oral-B Oxyjet has a dial so you can adjust the strength smoothly, its nozzle is simple to aim because it’s on a flexible hose and weighs very little, and the water-tank is large enough that you can get through your whole teeth-cleaning process in one go.

“. use of the product” Interesting directions. The purchase process is part of the deal and deserves reviewing. Bought this WP-670 online, directly from Waterpik. Ok transaction, except I stipulated the wrong replacement handle for my other unit.

I’ve been using a Waterpik for a long time. I believe they offer an effective dental care step. Usage: Good, until they become dirty (bacterial, mold, algae, etc) I’ve not yet found a good method to maintain or clean a Waterpik flosser.

It’s pretty gross when they become contaminated. I have bought replacement handles and tips, but a true cleaning method is needed. And this time I accidentally ordered the wrong handle. $15 wasted – darn.

Also, for years I’ve used travel versions on the road. The cordless versions don’t last – poor value. I now have a more substantial corded (Waterpik) travel unit – it came with a nice travel case. It’s far better than the cordless versions, except now it’s starting to show signs of contamination.

I purchased this for 2 reasons; 1. I recently had a wisdom tooth removed and ended up with a dry socket. I needed something to keep it clean. 2. My usual flossing technique hasnt been doing the job. My teeth are super close together and hard to floss effectively.

This gently removes food particles from my dry socket (on the lowest speed!) It also flosses my teeth much more efficiently than traditional floss. I’m both amazed and disgusted at what this gets out of my teeth.

After using this, then brushing, my teeth feel cleaner than they have in years. It’s too early for me to comment on longevity or the effectiveness of the whitening tablets. I’ll update my review if needed.

After working with a battery powered Waterpik flosser I decided to try one that was electric and I’m very happy with it. The only problem I found was that the water that remained in the Waterpik reservoir was so cold it made my teeth ache.

Now I fill the reservoir with warm water and turn it on (with the tip in the sink) long enough for the water to go from cold to warm and turn it off. Once I turn it on again, with the tip in my mouth, the warm water flushes in-between my teeth and everything is fine.

I had problems with whitening toothpastes (that made my teeth very sensitive), so I have not tried the whitening tablets that came with the flosser. Because I don’t have a lot of room on my sinktop, I got the whitening professional Waterpik water flosser because it was smaller than another electric version.

I bought this because my teeth are pretty close together and flossing is really difficult sometimes. It’s an okay product. At first it hurts, especially if the water hits under your tongue, and it’s kind of awkward to get used to.

It doesn’t replace flossing but I use it every day after I floss. At least it gives me the peace of mind knowing that anything the floss missed, this’ll get. Only giving it 3 stars because although I’m disappointed it didn’t replace flossing, it’s become another step in my brushing routine and I can’t see myself without it.

I love waterpicks, I started using them when I had braces. They help so much for everything brushing and flossing misses. Your teeth feel so clean and glossy afterwards. You can feel confident that your teeth and gums are clean.

Just be careful not to shoot yourself in the eye and they can be a little messy, so hang your head over your sink.

I have had this product for years and it still functions great! I love that it comes with 2 attachments so you can have the water flow pressure you desire. Tip: the further away you hold the pik, the stronger the stream will be.

I have one “food trap” spot between my teeth and it is usually painful to get the food out. I have tried floss, but I really have to work at it and I can’t always get it all. With the water pik, it comes out instantly! I have flossed my entire life but have always felt that I just inherited bad teeth and gums.

The dentist started talking to me about needing gumcare;however, since I began using the pik regularly they always tell me what great shape my gums are in!!!! For me, I use floss to disrupt bacteria colonies between teeth and then the water pik to shoot them out, loosen food particles, and for preventative gumcare.

It’s been 💯 percent effective for me!.

A wonderful product except for one nearly fatal flaw. As has been mentioned in other reviews, the power cable for the plug is hard plastic which sticks STRAIGHT out the back of the unit when plugged in.

Obviously, not plugged in the thing is useless. This thing is otherwise a beauty of design. How this plug, which nearly DOUBLES the necessary footprint of the thing (it can NOT be pushed neatly against a wall or on a small shelf), passed muster for this is unimaginable.

If they did not want to alter the plug location, the LEAST they could have done is make the plug connector shorter, and have a right angle on it. I am intending to try to modify my plug to be shorter in just this way.

But most people who buy this won’t want to crack into it and do some soldering and modification, so will just have to live with the item which, due to the stupidly, sloppily, carelessly designed power wire in the back of the unit, requires nearly twice the shelf space as is advertised.

Unless, I guess, the idea is that you unplug the wire from the thing each and every time you are finished using the unit. I just don’t know. It makes you wonder about the world. This waterpik otherwise works wonderfully, packs up small, travels very well, and is beautifully designed.

And then they shortcut the power source out the back, effectively nullifying the above. It’s like they slapped one of those Calvin peeing stickers onto a lovely rolls royce. Only you can’t remove the sticker.

Works great and is in a largely well designed package that will work for most people. Unfortunately, the designers either A) didn’t think of or B) just couldn’t move the plug to a better location. One of the benefits of this model is the compact design, particularly for people with limited vanity space.

The plug goes into to back, adding essentially 50% more depth to the unti when plugged. And while you can remove the power as WP suggested to one critical review, this is daily use item so plugging and unplugging it will shorten it’s lifespan (wear and tear) in additon to just being a nuisance.

Hopefully they’ll either impliment a 90d bend plug at the bag or move the connection all together. The 90d bend plug would benefit existing owners.

I purchased this model for travel. It’s small, elegant and powerful. Some customers were not happy with the plug location and footprint that I can agree if you are considering for home use however I think it’s perfect for travel since I don’t care how it sits on a hotel bathroom countertop.

It doesn’t have a swivel head or large reservoir but they do not limit the use. I don’t think there is another product on the market to help your oral hygiene when you are on the road. I just love this product.

I wish it was little cheaper.

I wanted to purchase a second water flosser for travel and a second location. I like my Water Pik and decided to stay with the brand after reading many reviews for other flossers. It is compact making it easy to pack for traveling and takes up less space on my sink top.

The on/off switch on the handle works easier than my previous one. Some reviewers were concerned about the open top but it’s not an issue. It’s only open while flossing and then it’s dried out and turned over as a cover.

This makes it compact. I’m very happy with this purchase.

I have long been an ardent fan of water pik flossers. I find my sink top flosser to be great for working beneath my lower bridge work, cleaning gum pockets and general in between teeth flossing. The Nano Plus is meant to be a smaller travel unit which provides the same efficiency with less bulk on trips away from the larger units.

I used my Nano Plus daily for a week. I was impressed with the Nano Plus power despite its smaller size. The controls are adequate, but take getting used to. The smaller open top one minute of water tub does not seem adequate for my flossing routine and I had to refill it each time after the first use of the evening.

The compact size and weight may be helpful but I don’t think it makes it a “can’t live without it” on short trips of the sort I might take. It might be useful to me if I worked or stayed away from home regularly for weeks or more at a time.

The lighter materials gave the unit less stability in my mind and it tipped on occasion when I wasn’t paying attention. I did not have the problem of water spraying from the open top that others seemed to experience.

All in all I cannot see this unit filling anything but a small niche in travel flossing.

Let me start by saying that my husband an I each have a Water Pik flosser, so this may be a biased review. The size is nice in that it doesn’t take as much counter space, and would be more convenient for travel.

The water dispenser, likewise, is smaller so I have to refill it to complete cleaning upper and lower teeth. Some users might not bother to refill it resulting in incomplete cleaning. There is no lid for the water container so care must be taken to rinse It out several times before each use and not to accidentally knock anything into the open container.

Being used to the swivel mechanism on the handle to direct the angle of the tip on the flosser model, I found that having to stop the machine, pop out the pic, and readjust the direction is a bit inconvenient.

Overall, if it is considerably less expensive than the larger model, it may entice more purchases. It is effective, just not as convenient as the flosser. Thank you.

I am new to using a water pick, though I do find it is oddly satisfying to power wash your teeth after a meal. While I have used floss for years, especially if trapped food can be “felt,” I find the water pick has the advantage of cleaning out the crease at the edge of the gum line at the same time.

(Yes, a tooth brush can do the same, but that is two steps) Using this is relatively easy. One quick lesson learned is to make sure the water reservoir is pressed into place securely or the valve will not open.

I found this out when trying to prime it for the first time. (Priming should only take a few seconds) Another lesson learned it to use warmer water since spraying one’s teeth with cool water can be less comfortable.

Similar to others’ reviews, this will make a mess of your sink and mirror if you try to keep your mouth open more than enough to drool out the water. Since using a mirror is not logistically feasible, it helps to GENTLY feel the nozzle drag along the gum line and cracks between your teeth to make sure you do not miss anything.

Finally, as I run the tap to get the water warm, and fill the reservoir, I am reminded of the old reminder to turn off the faucet when brushing one’s teeth. Using this unit will ultimately waste water, unless you keep it in an areas that is constantly used and stays warm.

I am not sure if I really want to keep this in my kitchen though. Overall, and expensive addition to teeth cleaning that adds an additional level of clean.

Got one of these about a week or two after getting my Wisdom teeth taken out. Had those holes left over for a while I have to regularly clean, and this was an absolute champion to do the job. If you are planning to use this for a similar reason, keep the pressure towards the lowest setting.

This thing is powerful! The attachments and overall tool are very good at working food caught in your mouth out. And because it’s so quick to use, a 30-second floss with this after each meal is a no-brainer to save your mouth the hassle.

Still should do more in-depth during morning and nightly cleans, but throughout the day, great tool to have. There are only two real recommendations I’d have for this. First is that the base is too light compared to the water tank.

It is very top-heavy when full, and very easy to knock over. Second, it is very loud. It’s to be expected, but it can cause some comfort issues around the house. I can’t use mine while my wife is sleeping.

Overall very happy with the product as many more are.

Like that it starts at a lower PSI (water pressure) than some other models. But that’s where the like ends. Main dislike is the noise. It is way too loud. Can’t use it in the morning if there’s someone else sleeping either in the same bedroom or the next one over.

And if you’re the sort of person who doesn’t want loud noises intruding upon your drowsiness just before bedtime, this will bring you back to wide awake. The other dislike is they include all these extra really niche attachments that most people will never use but not an alternate standard one which a larger diameter hole where the water comes out.

For me (and others I know) we find the stream of water coming out the standard attachment to be a bit too thin and needle-like. It would be helpful to have one with a larger hole and thus slightly wider water stream.

Dental bridges collect and hold fragments that can cause havoc later. Cleaning bridges, and teeth in general, with toothpaste and toothbrush, mouthwash, between teeth brushes, and string floss removes much of the remnants but some tend to hide.

My first usage of the Waterpik WP-360 to expel the hiders became quite an interesting experience. The Quick Start Guide states to use lukewarm water; my water was far too cool as all sensitive teeth went wild when hit with the pulsating cold water from the high-pressure tip and, needless to say, water went everywhere.

But many more particles had been removed from between the bridge and gums. Subsequent usage two to three times daily has been with much warmer water and with the low-pressure tip, which should have been used the first time, according to the Quick Start Guide.

Five ounces of water in the reservoir seems to last longer with the blue low-pressure tip than with the clear high-pressure tip by my experiences. Tips can be changed easily so one water floss with a selected tip and 5 ounces of lukewarm water can be followed with the other tip and 5 more ounces of water for a sensational 1-minute cleaning at the gumlines.

Try this sometime, use the water flosser followed by string floss; you will be surprised by the difference between water and string floss results.

This is the first Waterpik I’ve ever owned. I was a bit skeptical of how well this would work to remove plague and tartar build up on my teeth as well as get into the little cracks and crevices where dental floss may not reach.

In the interest of full transparency, I have horrible teeth. I was never taught a good oral hygiene routine and never adopted one in my life. Now that most of my teeth are rotten and gone, I’m finally thinking that I better start taking care of what I got left although my goal is to eventually get implants.

I use a lot of that temporary dental filling sold OTC at most retailers. The Waterpik was so strong that it actually blew the Temparin fillings out of my teeth. It was so strong that it made my gums bleed (but not hurt) upon my first use.

This thing has great pressure and does an exceptional job of cleaning your teeth! I’ll never be able to live without it now. I bet this thing could almost peel the paint off your house! LoL. The water chamber could be a little bigger but it has enough to do one complete water flossing in one sitting.

and it’s very simple to add water to when necessary. All in all, I give it 5 out of 5 stars!.

I needed a travel water flosser, and bought this one. I use a corded version at home everyday. Now, in fairness, there have to be some compromises to make it travel size- water chamber volume, etc. , and I am fine with that.

But there are some very basic things that are huge oversights. 1-since there is no capability to adjust pressure on the unit, there are 2 tips included-high and low pressure. Except there is no label to tell you which is which! And yes, I did read the manual cover to cover! 2-the trap door that seals the water chamber will not stay open to let it dry, so this is just a mold problem waiting to happen.

Why not engineer the top to allow that door to remain unlocked when not in use? 3-there is no way to tell when the battery is low, or when it is fully charged. When you plug in the charger, you just have to guess when it has had enough power for the battery.

Unbelievable in 2023 to lack that basic feature. How about a light on the charger that comes on when the battery needs charging, and it goes out when the charge is complete? What a novel idea! Otherwise, it does the job of dental cleaning well.

I purchased the blue version of the WP-660 to replace the battery powered travel version I purchased as a “trial,” as I wasn’t sure I would use it daily. This version is definitely an upgrade. Besides the obvious advantage of not replacing batteries every week and filling the tank only once, the wand is significantly easier to handle, and I’m taking less time to waterfloss overall.

The water stream is also much more even than the travel version. Overall happy with my purchase! Feature comments: I love the on/off feature of the stream on the wand; I use it when changing ‘quadrants’ in my mouth so there’s much less of a chance of wayward splashing.

The 2x 30sec timer is lost on me; I must waterfloss too slowly. I wish the base unit was a bit heavier; it has a tendency to slide while using it. I appreciate the multi-tip kit included, which I’ll try out once I’m used to using the original tip.

This is a good alternative to floss, especially if your teeth have rough fillings that catch on the floss, or if you can’t floss at all due to having traditional braces. That said, there is a design issue with these that will cause the product to eventually fail.

I used this for a few years with no issues, long enough to replace the hose assembly after the original hose became too brittle and broke off (another issue you’ll run into – fortunately WaterPik sells replacement hose assemblies).

About a year or so in, the unit would sometimes leak if any water was left in the tank, so I made sure to leave it empty when I was done. Over the last few months up to now, the pressure slowly declined.

Eventually, the unit would shut off on its own during use, and now it won’t turn on at all. Suspecting an issue with the motor, I disassembled the unit and confirmed my suspicion. Over time, the rubber gaskets on the pump assembly inlet and the gearbox will harden and stop doing their jobs as effectively, and whatever lubricant the piston may have had will degrade.

Between these factors, water will eventually start to get into the gearbox, and from there, the motor. In my case, the end of the motor exposed to the gearbox is very rusty, and the shaft is hard to turn – naturally, this is why it no longer functions.

Some rusty brown water was pooled in the bottom of the gearbox. The electronics look pristine, so it feels like a waste to throw it out – but I can’t find the exact motor for direct sale from any vendor I can trust, so this is where this unit’s story ends.

All in all, it’s a good value, but there’s a reason the WP-660 is relatively inexpensive for what it is; don’t expect it to outlast the warranty by much. If you get one of these and notice a drop in pressure before the warranty runs out, contact support immediately.

Don’t ignore it as I did, or you’ll have to go back to actual floss for a while.

Besides having an obscene amount of dental work that makes it a chore to floss, I have very small spaces in-between my teeth, and normal floss is either too big, or gets shredded. My dentist has suggested the Waterpik, but due to price and counterspace, I’ve always avoided looking into it.

I wish I had the opportunity to get this sooner! Since it was on sale, I was finally encouraged to purchase this, and from a month of daily use I can attest to much cleaner teeth. The water flushes out food residue quite effectively, and I find there’s not as much plaque buildup since it washes most of it away.

If anything, it encourages me to thoroughly clean, as opposed to just not flossing since it’s so difficult and sometimes painful. I was concerned with it’s countertop footprint, and it’s surprisingly small—it takes a little more space than a large bottle of mouthwash.

It’s also aesthetically pleasing, and the functional design—although simple, is very efficient, and in a way, makes it’s use less complicated—I’d like more storage room however, for extra tips. I also like how you can choose the pressure level, although I try to stick around level 2 – 6 since I find my gums are delicate.

Removing the tips are really easy too, and are well-made. The range of tips it comes with is awesome, although I wish it came with another PikPocket or tongue scraper instead of an orthodontic tip since not everyone has braces.

It is a bit loud though, but you’re using it for 5 minutes at most so it’s bearable. It looks overwhelming at first, but once you get it, it’s very easy to operate—just follow the beginners’ instructions.

And it’s also a little messy at first when using, but make sure to stay close to the sink to let the water drain out of your mouth. Another attribute I enjoy is how easy maintenance is: it’s only necessary to do a deep clean every 1 – 3 months! (although I’d aim for 1 month because of the way it uses water).

I wish my humidifier where that low maintenance! All it takes is vinegar and water. I suggest watching the instructional video they have on YouTube to clarify the process. To maintain a unit like this every month means it’s designed quite well in that regard.

In all, I had no idea how much I’d end up loving how this Waterpik enhances my dental care routine. I just hope they make the price for tips more cost effective for maintenance. Otherwise, I’m quite pleased!.

At first I was delighted to pick up and use for the first time a Waterpik. I opted for the cordless version since I live in a very, very small space and my bathroom countertop space is very limited. Overall it seemed like a good device.

One thing I noted and found unhelpful is that there is no indicator or gauge on the battery usage so you’re just guessing at how long to plug in your Waterpik. At any rate, it took some time to get used to using the Waterpik.

Be prepared to have a cleaning towel handy as water will spray everywhere if you’re not careful. Make sure you have your face tilted towards the sink bowl & keep your mouth fairly closed. I started using it from once every few days, then daily.

Then about two weeks ago the Waterpik stopped working. It just quit without any reason. I did an online search and there were suggestions to plug in and charge the whole unit overnight. That didn’t work.

And then I tried charging for a full 24 hours. And that still didn’t work. Believe me, I patiently tried this a few times over during the last week. It’s sad to say that I’ve wasted my time and money on this.

Likes: small footprint on counter; portable; might be good for travel; rechargeable,so no cords on counter; light weight; contoured so it is comfortable to hold; Issues: only two pressure settings; doesn’t hold enough water to do a thorough cleaning without refilling; I find it awkward to do outer and inner areas of mouth (easier to maneuver regular waterpik )however, After I have used it for a longer period of time I may become more adept at maneuvering it in my mouth ; would have been nice to have a warning light to tell you when fully charged or about to run out of “juice”; I have had for only 1 week, so will continue to use and hope to become more comfortable using it!.

This cordless flosser is exactly what I needed. I travel several times per month and needed something portable. This flosser is portable, lightweight and easy to use. The battery is long lasting and I only charge it once a week.

Typically I use regular floss but it doesn’t remove everything. I get a clean, fresh feeling after using this flosser. I do wish the reservoir was bigger but it’s not a deal breaker. The flosser has 2 different pressure settings.

I really appreciate that it is cordless. I don’t have to worry about being close to an outlet. This flosser is a great option when you’re running short on time.

This is a Christmas gimmick gadget like all the others that stay in the cupboard afterwards. 1. The pressure is nowhere near sufficient to ‘floss’ teeth as it claims – even on the highest setting. It’s nothing more than a messy (see below) and glorified mouth rinse.

2. The water tank runs out after about 3 teeth if attempting to floss to the same level of cleanliness as ordinary floss. So you’re constantly refilling – and that includes fiddling about to get the temperature exactly right each time.

It’s horrible, verging on painful, if the water’s too cold. 3. The mess!!! OMG! both myself and my husband were drenched by the water (a) from the nozzle and (b) out of your mouth – the instructions keep telling you to close your mouth while using – guess I didn’t appreciate the significance of that one! I’m sure like anything you get used to it with practise – but I don’t feel like practising with something I can see will never be as effective as promised.

(If you have a small basin, you might have to do it over the kitchen sink). 4. The size – it’s a big, clunky thing to hold – especially annoying as it holds nothing like enough water or has a powerful enough motor – wouldn’t mind it being heavy if it had some power!! Just really poor design.

5. Charging? There’s no light so you’ve no idea whether it’s charged or not. It tells you to charge it for 24 hours when you first get it and then once a week – but I’d actually like to know/see if it’s charging, just like is normal with anything else you have to charge.

I really liked this product! I have had a travel water flosser for a while now. The water reservoir was always too small. I had to refill it at least once before I felt like my teeth were flossed well.

This one has the perfect water capacity in the water chamber! I like the different settings that it has on it and it is easy to change and control. It is small, so it doesn’t take up too much space on my small counter top ( which was the main reason I went for the travel one and not the larger stand alone ones ).

The cord for the flosser itself is the perfect length. And the tips for the flosser are great! They pop in and out pretty easily! My only issue with this flosser is that the top of the water reservoir doesn’t have a cover.

Which, I get. Makes it better for storing ( flipping the chamber upside down and hanging over the unit. I guess it just kind of creeps me out knowing some kind of particles or something can get in there while I am flossing.

It’s not a deal breaker, just a personal thing I guess.

Love the size and the cleaning ability of this little waterpik. It replaced the previous WP-320 we had had for seven years without any problems. The rubber feet on this particular waterpik will not stay on.

We have had to screw them on several times in the few weeks we have had it. We finally just left them off.

Lid falls into reservoir which contaminates flosser water with dust and bathroom germs that collect on top of lid. Unsanitary. Lid needs a handle or knob — something to grasp, especially since hands may be wet when using.

The tips stored inside lid do not stay in their clips and when you lift lid by the edges, it opens (there is no clasp) and tips tumble out. Again, unsanitary. Needs a way to store excess electric cord so counter space is freed-up.

Reservoir does not completely drain and yet also drips when filling it. Really do not like using this product, however, it is effective. WP should re-design this unit. I plan to replace it with another flosser.

Would not buy it again.

I purchased this because I just got braces again as an adult and remembered they were recommended when I was a kid with braces. I had been using it exclusively for a week and a half, then went to my dentist for a regular cleaning.

The hygienist chewed me out and said the water flosser (despite me using it on the 8-10 setting) is not strong enough to clean between teeth and disrupt bacteria properly. She did at least say it’s good to help remove any debris from brackets and wires after eating.

I’ve gone back to regular floss and found my gums bled for the first few days, as if I was flossing for the first time. Besides that, I think it gives the water a weird burnt plastic taste that I really don’t like, but I can get over it.

I’ll stick with regular flossing daily (though more time consuming with braces) and will use this to supplement.

I am extremely pleased with the WP-100. So glad that I reviewed each of your products carefully and selected the WP-100. Having a full 16 ounces of water in the chamber gives me the opportunity to be thorough each time I use this valuable product.

And, looking forward to my next dental visit so that I may receive an amazing review of my clean, white, sparkling teeth and gums because of my new WP-100. I make sure to remove any and all water from the rubber gaskets when I finish using the product and never put anything other than tap water in the chamber.

I have read that bacteria might build up over time therefore, I am always diligent in wiping the inside of the chamber bone-dry along with blowing out the pick that I use to remove any water, before placing the equipment in it’s convenient cover/case and position the product on my bathroom sink.

This could be so much better if the manufacturer had just given a bit more thought to the design. It will work as a water flosser, but there are too many poorly handled details. 1-The water chamber has a flip down locking lid.

There is no way to leave it open between uses to allow the chamber to dry, and no way to stand it upside down to do so either. This is a mold situation in the making. 2-They had to compromise to keep weight and size down, and one of those things was no way to adjust the pressure of the unit-which is fine to me.

They include 2 tips, one hi, one low, to change the pressure, but they are not labeled and there is no explanation of which is which in the scant documentation. The pressure isn’t that different one to the other so it is impossible to know.

3-Lastly, there is no way to know the battery charge status. And when it is on the charger, there is no indication when it is fully charged. Just a ridiculous oversight in my view. $20 Amazon toys have more sophistication than this product.

I love my Waterpik! I tried a generic brand that claimed it worked better, but it was too strong a flow pounding on my gums. My Waterpik is easy to use, it puts out the right flow of water on my gums.

It keeps my gums healthy and clears out food particles between my teeth. My teeth feel so clean after brushing and using my Waterpik. The true test is when my dental hygienist gives me a ‘no cavities’ report, which rarely happened before I started using my Waterpik.

No Joke! If you want clean teeth and a positive dental check-up, then you should buy a Waterpik. I like the WP-360 because it is small, easy to hold, and it takes very little space on your cabinet. It is also easy, and convenient to take with you when traveling.

I am absolutely blown away by this waterpik! I use it several times a day and I can feel such a huge difference in my teeth and gums just within a week of using. I also want to add that I have a few crown and caps, and this works phenomenal, no issues at all!! This comes with 5 different insert pieces, and you can store them in the lid.

The lid has individual sections for each piece which helps keep them organized! They are very easy to put on and you just push a button to take them back off. I absolutely love the different settings this comes with.

It will work for even the most sensitive teeth on the low setting. This has 10 different speed settings and can get pretty powerful on the highest one. The cord on the waterpik is excellent and reaches a good distance.

I also really like how you can tuck it in and hang the waterpik itself up to keep it organized better. The plug in cord also will reach a good distance which is very helpful as well. I most definitely recommend this one, it works incredibly well!! Now, onto the handheld waterpik.

This takes 3 AA batteries and comes with a carrying bag, which is great for traveling. The battery pack can be tricky to twist off, so please read the instructions on what to do first. This has a little flip on the side, all you do is lift it up and fill up with water.

This also comes with two different insert pieces. There is two different speed settings on this, you just push the button up or down for low and high. However, this one even on low was just way to powerful.

If you like a super strong waterpik, then this is for you, if not then this handheld one isn’t for you. You will need to be very careful with it because if you accidently get your mouth or lips the wrong way it will sting.

Also, if you have sensitive teeth, this is not the one to use as it’s very very powerful even on the lowest setting. This one would be perfect with more speed settings added to it. But overall, this is a great traveling device, just needs a few lower settings added.

I have been using this for about 2 weeks now and I must say I love both of these flossers. There’s the ultra plus which I use at home and the cordless express which I use for travel. The ultra plus has 10 speeds, unique tips for the flosser itself and even stores them directly on top.

It’s very quiet when you use it so you don’t wake anyone up. It really gets into those hard to reach areas and there’s a unique tip for everything. It’s very easy to change the tips and get a better clean.

It hold up to a minute and a half of continuous water. No need to refill. It’s compact and sleek design makes it a perfect accessory for the bathroom and looks great too. The cordless express is super convenient while traveling or just if you have a meeting right after eating and you just need to refresh your mouth, this is perfect.

It is baterry powered (it comes with the batteries), it’s waterproof and you can even use it in the shower. I perosnally like to use it out of the shower. It has 2 power settings and 30 seconds of continuous water.

It even has a traveling carrying case. You can also choose which unique water tips you want to take with you. There is an easy release for fast switch out. I was worried this wasn’t going to be powerful enough but it has some good power.

I was really pleased with this when I was away from home bit still got that clean feeling that I desired.

This combo is amazing. At home I use the waterpik flosser. It has been a great addition to my routine. I do not like using regular floss so this is a wonderful option and is so effective. My mouth is always left feeling so clean and healthy.

I don’t like a lot of pressure so it’s a blessing to be able to use different settings. you can go from 1 to 10 with one being the lightest setting and ten the highest. There is a High-volume reservoir capacity of 90+ seconds.

Which is nice because I feel like my mouth gets a really thorough clean. The top of the flosser has storage for different tips which is so convenient! You don’t have to try to find a place to store them and have to take them out every time.

They are so easy to access. I love that it came with multiple tips for different uses. My favorite would have to be the plaque seeker. It works wonders. There is also an orthodontic tip, pickpocket tip, toothbrush tip, classic jet tip and the tongue cleaner.

The travel flosser is also great. I take it with me whenever I visit my parents. It also came with an orthodontic tip, pickpocket tip, plaque seeker tip, toothbrush tip, classic jet tip and tongue cleaner.

It is battery operated and comes with the batteries which is really great! All you have to do to put in the batteries is twist the bottom and insert the batteries. It shows you which way to turn it to lock and unlock.

Make sure you have some petroleum jelly on hand for each battery change to lubricate. To use you just need to remove the water reservoir, fill it up, attach it back to the flosser, make sure your tip is inserted well and use it as you normally would.

There is a high pressure option and a low pressure option. Whenever you’re finished you just turn it off and empty the liquid out of the reservoir. I like to remove the reservoir to let it dry out so no water is left inside.

It also comes with a soft travel bag to keep it covered. Cleaning is easy and I am so satisfied with these products!.

I have used a lot of water flossing products, this one is by far the worst. The reservoir is extremely difficult to put together or separate, making it very tough to clean. The water inlet is at a high point, if your sink is not big enough, you cannot fill the water in directly.

The reservoir is in deep blue color, making it hard to see how much water is in it. The two-button design is a waste and unfriendly, there isn’t any other control. The tip eject button is also not friendly, it kind of hides right above the ON button.

The charger is so much bigger than any other models’. This thing is designed to be very unfriendly, almost in purpose! This thing is completely useless and a waste of money.

I’ve owned Waterpik products in the past and they’ve always performed better and lasted longer than similar off-branded models sold on Amazon or ebay. You pay more initially but I think it’s worth it in the end.

Ion Water Flosser pros and cons: Cons: 1. I wish it had a slightly smaller profile and a carry case for traveling and/or camping. Because the device is rechargeable, you’d almost expect this. As it is, I’ll be carting it around in the box it came in.

2. About 30 seconds after startup, the motor “pips” a couple of times (it almost sounds like the motor is dying for a brief moment) to let you know that it’s time to start cleaning the lower half of your mouth.

30 seconds after that, it “pips” again to let you know you’re finished. I know that electric toothbrushes use this timing feature as well but I always find it annoying and don’t like having my cleaning interrupted by this distraction, so I wish there was a way to turn this feature off.

Furthermore, the length of time between each “pip” is only 30 seconds, which in my opinion isn’t nearly long enough to clean each half of the mouth. 60 seconds for each half would be much more realistic if you really wanted a good cleaning.

Pros: 1. The charged battery lasts a very long time (2 weeks to a month depending on how often it’s used) so you don’t have to charge it very often. Because of this, you can minimize the clutter on your countertop and go on long trips before needing to recharge.

2. The lighted power button is very accessible on top of the unit so turning it on and off is easy. 3. It’s much quieter than any other water flosser I’ve owned. 4. The pulsating strength can be preset to the speed of your choice so you don’t have to reset it each time like other water flossers I’ve owned have required.

5. The handle that holds the attachments is magnetized so it snaps in place in the magnetic cradle when you’re finished using it. Very nice design touch! 5, Excellent warranty and customer service.

Some time ago I heard from friends about this product, but I never considered it seriously. I always thought that keeping a regular and good toothbrush and floss was enough. But then I learned that Waterpik was clinically proven and accepted by the American Dental Association (ADA).

With this in mind and my friends recommendation I started to feel curious and once I got it and started to use it, WOW! I didn’t have any idea the amount of debris and garbage that was coming out of my mouth even after I had carefully just finished brushed my teeth.

I can feel my gum line clean and fresh like I never felt before. I think the experience that Waterpik has gained over the years has paid off with this new water flosser, it really does a fantastic job.

This little fella is so powerful and efficient that I wish I had it years ago. The size of the unit is perfect because it doesn’t affect the look of my bathroom counter (4×6 x 6×4) and it is cordless! What a brilliant idea! I don’t need to worry about locating power outlet, and the hassle of having power cables on the counter surface.

And for traveling it is perfect because the power adapter and cable are USB connectors, so worst case that you lose the power adapter you can easily find a USB one. 1amp is very common but if you find a 1.

5 or 2 amp those will work too. The original adapter is for international Power source, (100-240V AC). And another fancy detail is the magnetic charging plug on the unit. The unit reservoir took like around a hour to fully charge.

So far my wife and I were using it each of one for 2 min cleaning for about 4 days in a row and no need to recharge it so far! Another cool feature is the magnetic handle cradle and stick, very fancy and modern detail.

Very quiet and you set the grade of water pressure and you can turn off the water and leave the pump on, so your partner can use it without losing the power pressure, very nice feature. The design of the hose is really cool, no hassle at all it feels like it is retractable and the you can place the stick in the cradle magnetically.

A wide range of water pressure and adjustable. It is Very handful that the Waterpik includes 6 tips with this new unit, each is designed for your dental cleaning needs. For example, the A tip, called Orthodontic Tip, it’s for braces and general use, or E, for dental implants, etc.

I really like that variety of tips that I can choose. The use is pretty simple. Just fill the reservoir with warm water, choose the tip that is better for your dental needs, insert it into the Water Flosser handle firmly until you hear the click, (there is a switch on the handle to release it) and for the first time you will need to let the water flow through the tip at the higher pressure 10.

After this you will be able to set the pressure where you can feel comfortable, the recommendation is to start with level 1 and then gradually increase the pressure. Start with back teeth with the tip pointing in a 90 degree angle to your gum line, and the rest is basically instinctive.

After a little while the Waterpik will pause for 30 seconds to remind you to move to the other side and finally a pause of 1 minute to indicate that the cleaning time has accomplished. More detail about how to do it you will find on page 7 in the user manual.

This unit is great now only because of this new design and cool features but also because it really takes care of my dental hygiene.

I had the Waterpik Aquarius WP-660 and liked it very much, but needed something more compact that didn’t need to stay plugged in. I am very happy with my new ION cordless Water Flosser. It does everything my previous one did.

It’s a bit quieter, fits in a smaller space, and holds a charge for a long time. The water capacity is the same as my previous Waterpik too. There is one thing preventing me from giving it 5 stars, and that is the cover.

It is not easy to lift the water reservoir without the cover falling off and it is a bit tricky getting back in place. A good idea would have been for Waterpik to provide a small beaker so the flosser could stay in place and half of the cover that flips up could be opened for filling water from the beaker.

I could still do that with my own beaker but it makes no sense to have the flip top if it so easily falls off when the reservoir is removed. All in all, I am happy with this unit and look forward to having it for many years to come.

I love this waterpik. Just recently, I have had two permanent implant crowns placed by my dentist. He suggested using a water flosser. I have used the plaque seeker as well as the Classic Jet Tip to remove food between my regular teeth as well as the implanted crowns.

The Orthodontic Tip can be used for braces as well as general use. I have used this tip in a general way. I fill the waterpik tank with water and run this tip along the base of my teeth. I feel I am cleaning my teeth along the gumline.

Although the waterpik is meant for the bathroom, I have placed this waterpik waterflosser on my kitchen counter. First, I floss my teeth and then I wash my dishes. In my opinion, by using the waterflossser after eating you are not just removing food particles; you are raising the ph of your mouth with the addition of water.
