Customer Reviews of Interplak WJ2CS Compact Rechargeable Water Jet
Customer Review: Better than more expensive Water Pik
Summary: 4 Stars
This Water Jet is much quieter than the high-end rechargeable Water Pik (Ultra WP-450). I was always a bit self-conscious when using it while my wife was sleeping. The Interplak unit is so quiet that there is no worry. The Water Pik, which I had for about a year and a half, was really hard to charge. The connection between the charger and the Water Pik was non-standard and didn't make a reliable connection - and there was no LED indicator to tell me when it was charging. So when I would plug it in I would never know if it was charging or not. The next day when I tried to use it, I would then discover if it had charged or not. I had to devise a special way of propping the Water pik up while stretching the cord to try to ensure it was actually going to charge. There were times it took several attempts over night to get it charged. The Interplak promises to be better at charging because the connection is a standard barrel connector. The Water Pik also had issues with drying out the water reservoir because there is only one small hole. Fortunately it didn't have a tendency to get mildewy but if it did, I would have had a very difficult tie cleaning it. The Interplak has a cup with a very large opening and you can leave it and the rest of the unit on the shelf separated all day long to dry out. The big opening makes it easy to clean and fill. The Water Pik was difficult to fill because it has such a small hole for filling. If your bathroom sink bowl is small the length of the unit will not allow you fill it all the way. Since the Interplak's cup comes off it is as easy to fill as a dixie cup. One issue with the Interplk is that the on-off button is hard to feel. As you turn the unit in your hand you lose track of where the on-off button is and once the water runs out in the reservoir, you have to look around for the switch. (This is a bit of a drag if you still have water in the reservoir and you want to turn it off - if you pull it out of your mouth while it is pumping, you'll get water all over your bathroom.) Storing the unit for drying is a problem with the Interplak unit because it will be in 2 pieces on your counter - I'm still not happy about that but I prefer that to having a unit that is almost impossible to clean. The Water Pik, on the other hand, was pretty easy to store because it stands up taking no more space than a drinking cup - but it doesn't have an opportunity to dry - whether you take it apart or not. Both the Interplak and the Water Pik do a good job of removing junk between teeth. I have a gap that tends to hold food and they both were good at removing the food. The real benefit of these are for gum stimulation and I believe they are both effective there, too. I have visited the dentist 3 times since getting an irrigator and I believe my gum health is improving. The Interplak has only one speed and it seems to be a stronger jet than I am used to with the Water Pik - I always used the low setting on the Water Pik - basically I don't see any benefit of having 2 speeds - You'll learn to live with whatever setting you get. I am sure the Interplak is easier to pack for trips than the Water Pik, but I only travel a couple weeks a year and I just leave it at home.
I had a surprise about a week after starting to use the Interplak - it stopped pumping water even though everything appeared to be functioning. I was afraid I would have to return the unit. After trying just about everything, I decided I'd suck on the nozzle and se if I could get water through it with or without the pump. It turns out that once I got water sucked into the pump it started to work. Now I realize that the pump needs to be primed with water in order to work. If the water drains from the pump, it won't work. Now every tie I use it, I suck water into the unit through the nozzle as a turn it on.
Bottom Line - Interplak is better all the way around.
