+55%
-45%
" ... I use my water pik twice a month on average. ... "
" ... It has a very potent burst of water . ... It is nice and compact and the water goes a long way since it works in bursts. ... "
" ... I turned my bathroom into a swimming pool. ... "
" ... I personally do like how the water shoots out in quick squirts per tooth. ... But you can fill it with mouthwash or water, which is pretty cool I guess. ... "
" ... This one uses SO little water because it also shoots a very powerful air with a tiny bit of water and it really gets the job done. ... "
" ... Strongly recommend using it with mouthwash -- BUT be sure to rinse out the reservoir with water every time you use it, or the mouthwash will gum up the inner components and clog it up. ... "
" ... I've tried all kinds of water flossing . ... "
" ... Way better than water pick ... "

" ... I have a mouth full of crowns and I’m not sure if this is too powerful as sometimes my gums hurt. ... "
" ... Before I ordered another one I just thought I'd get the Pro or whatever my dentist had (multiple pressure selections?). ... "
" ... I do not like using dental floss and the difficulty of getting fingers in a small mouth. ... "
" ... My head "came apart" after few months of use and replacement head are impossible to find for purchase ... "
" ... This is a very strange design - the head of the floss does not stay on. ... You have to hold it with one hand and push the button with the other, or you are at the risk of head jumping out at the push of the button and hit your eye. ... Even when you hold the head with one hand, the water will leak out between the base and the head (there is a seam), and you will make a mess. ... "
" ... A reviewer mentioned this hurt their mouth to use. ... "
" ... the 1st time i bought this flosser (different model) there was a replacement head-they do break for different reasons. ... "
" ... firs the head broke on the first fall . ... "
