Product Reviews of Waterpik WP-70/WP-70W Family Dental Water Jet

Product Review: Cleans well, cheaply built
Summary: 3 Stars

I must say that it is impressive, and gratifying, to give your teeth the best brushing you know how, then turn on the water jet and watch all the hidden bits of detritus get chased out of their hiding places. It really does clean in places the brush can't reach, and if your teeth are tightly packed (like mine), it is much easier than flossing. The basic idea of cleaning with a pulsed water jet seems sound to me.

That said, I really think there's room left in the market (the aging-boomer-healthcare market that is) for a quality, well-made dental irrigator. My Water Pik sounds like a little jackhammer running, the tubing to the handpiece is stiff and tangles easily, and... mine sprang a leak where the tubing enters the handpiece after about four months. A leak that sprays water all the way across the room, mind you. The handpiece is cheaply molded onto the tubing and can't be disassembled for repair, and the parts don't seem to be available.

I'm here on Amazon shopping for an alternate brand, but it seems that they have similar shortcomings -- short life heading the list. So I repeat my remark, and hope that someone from Bosch or Panasonic or somewhere were they value quality stuff is reading... what this country (USA) needs is an irrigator that works well, stays together, and doesn't wake up the house!

Product Review: Disappointed with this product!
Summary: 1 Stars

Tomorrow I have to return this item because after less than 3 weeks of use the pump has malfunctioned. I did enjoy the clean mouth I had after using it but another drawback was that it was unbelievably noisey. Before buying this I spoke with an acquaintance who mentioned that he had bought one and in less than two years (which is the lenght of the warranty, his model also had suddenly died) But I didn't expect this item-which was recommeded by my dentist , to be such a disappointment.

Product Review: Don't buy this Waterpik!
Summary: 1 Stars

This is a piece of junk. Why is the company still producing this model? It wasn't even three weeks before it stopped working--no power and it sounds like a jack hammer. I want to buy another oral irrigator but I'm reluctant to trust any Waterpik product. I do not want to give it even one lousy star.

Product Review: Everything I expected and more
Summary: 5 Stars

Product cleans teeth perfectly. even if I brush and floss first, the pik cleans more material from my teeth. This is perfect for me because I have a number of crowns and food gets stuck to the underside of the crowns as my gums recede. This product removes all stuck material. It's great.
