Product Reviews of Panasonic EW1270AC Portable Oral Irrigator
Product Review: Fast, convenient, portable and stores anywhere.
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes, this thing has power. Not as much as a plug-in WaterPik, but unless you also use your Oral Irrigators for hydro strip mining gold, the Panasonic will do just fine. I accidentally turned it on once and the water stream shot clear across the room! Doubles as a high-powered squirt gun in a pinch!
How long does it take to get a bulky WaterPik plugged in, assembled, filled with water, used, cleaned, disassembled and stored away again? The Panasonic takes only 10-seconds from storage to working. Refills due to the small water reservoir? Less than 5-seconds, making multiple refills a non-issue really.
Let's face it, the more time, mess and hassle we know a task will take, the less likely we are to do it. That's just human nature in the busy world we live. Fortunately the Panasonic rids you of these subconscious roadblocks in this QUIET, compact and convenient machine. Use it for travel or bring it to work for after lunch clean-ups. I doubt the WaterPik can make the same claim.
Yes, you'll need to recharge your 2 AA batteries often, but if you don't already own rechargeable batteries/recharger, then the Panasonic is a great reason to start! They get 1000 recharges per battery compared to buying hundreds of expensive alkaline batteries... you do the math!
Bottom Line: If you're a person who never flosses and isn't convinced their water irrigator is effective unless it's loud and leaves all their gums bleeding, choose a WaterPik. But judging from their reviews their quality and longevity have been suspect at best.
P.S. I have no stock in Panasonic nor do I work for them. I just really like well made, quality products that make my busy life a little simpler. :)
Product Review: Five Star For Portable Oral Irrigator
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this product. I've used it just a few times and I've been horrified at how much stuff it pulls out from my teeth and gums even though I brush and floss 3 times a day. Using the irrigator, at first, is messy and fun. I felt like a child learning how to use a new squirt gun. My advice is to try this out in the shower. The key is keeping the unit upright while aiming it at the inside and outside of your teeth. Practice tilting your head until you get the right angle then turn on the unit and use it. I know my dentist is going to be thrilled with my teeth during my next visit!Product Review: GREAT FOR WHEN AWAY -- STUPID TO USE AT HOME
Summary: 5 Stars
Perfect little item to put in a suitcase when going away. The intensity of the water stream is pretty good and does the job. I have to fill the tank 3-4 times. It's easy to do and takes just a second. I suggest that you pry open the package carefully and use it to pack it when going away. The plastic packaging is a perfect protector of this little appliance when packed in a suitcase.
DO NOT USE THIS AT HOME. If you're serious about maintaining dental health, you'll use a full-size water pik at home. I am currently using this one and think it's great: Waterpik Ultra Dental Water Jet. Bought it here in amazon.
Update: bought it February 2008. Used it 20 times maybe. By the summer of 2010, it stopped working. Tried multiple sets of fresh batteries. Buh-bye.
Product Review: GREAT HELP
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had this item and used it for nine months now. I really appreciate the help it gives in cleaning my dental work (rapid palitor expander). I bought it on the suggestion of my orthodontist. I wondered on how well it would work on battery power but it really does a good job. I have rechargable batteries for it and when they are fresh they clean out stuff that flossing doesn't get to. Great for home and travel.Product Review: Gets the job done!
Summary: 4 Stars
I advise using this device in the shower since the squirt action is forceful (that gets the particles out from under bridge) and makes a mess at sink area. Better than flossing and a good value.
