" ... The new medicine container is a good feature ... "
" ... Like the extra reservoir ... "
" ... And this one has a big enough tank. ... "
" ... It takes up a bit of space and I wish it had a lid for the water container but it works well ... "
" ... but it does the job and it's fairly compact if space is limited in your bathroom. ... "

" ... It's also significantly louder than any other Waterpik model I've had, and the lowest setting is more in the medium range on the WP-100 W, Ultra model I had before, so if you have tender gums this will just chew them up. ... "

" ... I got this product as traditional floss hurts my teeth and gums too much. ... "
" ... Every dentist I’ve ever been to asks me what I use on my teeth because they can’t believe how tight and healthy my gums are. ... "
" ... Good pressure and durable throughout all those years. ... "
" ... I am impressed with how much cleaner my mouth feels after using this. ... The regular tip feels fine on the middle setting to me. ... Flossing has been a painful but necessary practice for a long time for me, but it is much more comfortable with the Waterpik. ... "
" ... Easy to use and effective and love the hand controls. ... "
" ... It came with two normal pik heads and the gum pik head, which was exactly what I wanted anyway. ... But I do firmly believe the unit works, does a good job, and assuming you take it to the limit and keep the pik head against your gum line, you're getting into all the places you need to be. ... The Pik head fits nicely into the back regions of my wisdom teeth and allows me to clean downwards and sideways on them. ... "
" ... I went to order a new one because I have worn my current one out. ... "
