Product Reviews of Waterpik WP-70/WP-70W Family Dental Water Jet
Product Review: At $10, it'd still be a waste of money
Summary: 1 Stars
It's very noisy. Once unpacked, you will NEVER get the cord stored again ... which also means you have to leave the reservoir laying on your sink. Leaks develop after several months. Dies within a year. I'm assuming this is true for all models made by the company, so I'd advise trying any of the other brands.
NEW "Ultra" ... a world of difference. Quieter. Cord stores easily. More powerful. Just out of the box, it's 4 Stars.
Product Review: Avoid this product ...
Summary: 1 Stars
Our first unit lasted about almost 2 months. Despite the relatively short lifespan, I thought the product was worth it considering the dirt-cheap price. However, the second unit we got leaked water at the base during its first use; so, it went back to Amazon the very same day it arrived our home. This product is so dangerous. Without exercising some safety precaution, it can cause electrocution!Product Review: Bad design

I understand what they were trying to accomplish with the water control being located on the handle. The issue with this is the strength of the jet can be accidentally adjusted and if someone has sensitive gums/teeth that could be extremely uncomfortable. I personally would rather have the setting control on the base where it can't be accidentally moved.Product Review: Badly engineered with inferior materials
Summary: 1 Stars
When my family first bought a Water Pik irrigation appliance back in the sixties, it was a very well crafted piece of equipment. It lasted for years and years.
I bought one of these WP-70s and noticed off the bat the dramatic change in quality from the original product. Flimsier, lighter, and noisier.
But considering that I used it only once or twice a week, it didn't take long for the product to fail. In about a year, the hose sprung a small leak. And because of the pressure in the hose, the leak created a tiny stream that sprayed all over the bathroom .
Within days, the leak increased, and then became a crack, and then simply broke into two separate pieces. Now the machine - with total flight hours of, what?, maybe a few hours worth of use?, the product is kaput.
It's been sitting on the counter taking up space while I search for replacement parts, but the hose seems integral to the handle, and I haven't been able to find a replacement hose for this model.
My advice, based on my experience is to steer clear of this one.
While I think the product concept is a good one, and it really provides a superior oral cleaning, it's a piece of junque that reeks of manufacturing corner cutting.
And environmentally, the idea of building this half way around the planet and shipping it to the US only to drop it into already overburdened landfills seems somewhat absurd.
Product Review: Broke after less than two months...
Summary: 1 Stars
The product worked great, when it worked. The pump stopped working and I've owned it less than two months. Disappointed.
