Product Reviews of Waterpik WP-70/WP-70W Family Dental Water Jet
Product Review: Poorly made
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this product last year and used it a few times and put it away. I just took it out a few days ago to use it for the 5th time and it sprung a leak on the handle and water gushes out all over the place. Just like the other comments/reviews say here....
It did work pretty well as for getting in between the teeth but breaking after only a few uses isn't really worth it.
I'm going to buy the 100 watt one and try it out since there is a Nov 2008 coupon for 10 [...] off. Lets see if this one can last 10 uses....
Product Review: Quality Dropped
Summary: 3 Stars
The quality of this Water Pik has dropped dramatically since I purchased my first one years ago. The noises and rattling lead me to believe that I'll be lucky to get a year's usage from it. I am not at all pleased.
Product Review: Quality not so great
Summary: 3 Stars
The strength (power?) is controlled by a slider on the handle sucks compared to the old (when I was a kid) way it used to be controlled by a knob on the unit.
The slider on the handle is
a: very easy to bump it up from 2 to 6 and powerwash a gouge in your mouth
b: inaccurate. It should go 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 but the one on mine is more like 1, 2, 5, 5, 5, 6
Otherwise, it does what it says. I have yet to be back to the dentist to see if it's helping though
I asked a few dentists for advise - Unless told otherwise, don't use this every day. You can do damage to your gums. Also, it's not a substitute for regular flossing. It's better at getting below the gumline, but doesn't do as well above it.
Product Review: Serious cleaning power.
Summary: 4 Stars
My dentist warned me that if I didn't start using a WaterPik, especially around my bridges and crowns, I was going to have trouble. Brushing just wasn't effective enough between teeth and around the base of the crowns. I didn't listen and paid the price - money and discomfort from a root canal plus a lot of "I told you so"s from him and my wife.
Not wanting to help my dentist pay for yet another Lexus, I caved and bought the WaterPik. I have to admit that it is really effective. A little messy and noisy but it sure does get stuff out that brushing couldn't remove. Has more power than I can use. Seems to make my gums feel better also.
Wish I didn't have to use it, but wish more that I would have started long ago.
The only reason I'm downgrading it to 4 stars is because the handle leaks a little and the whole device seem just a wee bit cheesy. Wish I there was a lid for the reservoir so I wouldn't have to leave it open or take it apart after use.
Product Review: Smile....
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very fine product and the whole experience was positive. Be aware that it is shipped via parcel post and that takes 30 days from the mainland to Maui. I think they paddle it over in a canoe.
This is the 3rd. or 4th waterpik we've purchased and this is a very good one and the price was best available.
