Product Reviews of Waterpik Water Flosser
Product Review: Nearly the same, lower price
Summary: 4 Stars
The WP-65 replaced my six year old WP-70 on which the hose had finally developed a leak I couldn't fix. I wish they would have included their new under-the-gum spout and that they would re-issure the multi-holed sprayer that used to come with the appliance. Except for the color of the reservoir, this one is the same as and cost $15 less than I paid for the original. The only functional difference is the slider control on the head. The old one clicked distinctly into each of the five settings while the new one slips from one to another with just the slightest touch. I don't rate that an improvement. But if this one lasts as long as its predecessor, I'll count myself lucky.Product Review: Not a quality item

I've had two Waterpiks in the last year. The first one broke after 6 months. This one the water line is so coiled, you can't close the lid without problems with jamming. Other Waterpik tips are not interchangeable.Product Review: Not as powerful
Summary: 4 Stars
I have used waterpiks for a long time and this was a replacement for my old one that wore out. The only thing that bothers me about it is that it is not as powerful as the old one I had. It is still a good product, but I wish it had a stronger setting.Product Review: Nothing Compares to the WaterPik Products
Summary: 5 Stars
I had a Waterpik many years ago and it was a very good product. After many years of service it died. When I went shopping to replace it I decided to save a few bucks and buy a cheaper competitor. BIG MISTAKE ! The competitor did not hold enough water to adequately flush out the deposits without having to refill it nor did it have the power the Waterpik's have. It got returned and I got the WP-65 and am happy again. You would be surprised by the amount of debris that is hiding at your gum line that brushing (even power brushing) can't remove. You also gain the benefit of having your gums massaged by the pulsating action. Your dental hygene is not complete until you have finished up with the WaterPik...Product Review: Perhaps I should have heeded previous reviews...
Summary: 2 Stars
I was overwhelmed by the choices, and selected this model, in part, because of the reasonal price. I had read reviews which mentioned problems and the need to return the product, but I decided there was only a small possibility of that happening.
The instructions said to use the lowest setting initially, which certainly made sense. However, the INSTRUCTIONS said to move the adjustment "toward the tip", which turned out to be the highest, not the lowest setting! The diagram on the handle indicated that the movement was toward the LARGER opening, but I read the directions and did not look at the diagram until later. The spray was very powerful and actually "hurt", especially when it was by my tooth with a crown.
The next day I tried adjusting the settings with the pik over my sink, not in my mouth! It felt wonderful on the lower setting! I reread the directions again (and again over the next several days) to see if the error was mine or theirs. I still think the directions were not written properly. The third day I had trouble getting any spray at all. This continued for about a week, some days getting more or less, but never a full spray ON ANY SETTING! My guess is that it was in a permanent "pause" mode. I gave up and pursued returning the item. It needed to be returned to an "authorized repair", which luckily was only a few miles away (there were only three in my state). The repair man had told me, over the phone, it was a discontinued model and hadn't been made in about a year. When he looked at it, he found it had been made in 2006. He said he could fix it, but wasn't allowed to; I am awaiting a replacement to arrive in the mail.
