Powerful enough for my sensitive teeth. Been using it everyday since purchase. Battery doesn’t hold a charge for very long but weekly charge is all that’s necessary.

 

Excellent at cleaning between teeth, supplied with a good range of attachments, my only criticism is that the power switch is an on / off switch and not a hold on. My previous unit was a Philips one and you had to hold the power switch to keep it running. This one stays on and if you accidentally take the tip out of your mouth water gets sprayed everywhere

 

I liked the look of this one. I bought previously 2 from lidl in a space of 3 years as water got in them both and stopped working. I didn’t find this to be as powerful as the nevadent lidl 20 cheapy but it definitely is better quality. If this was to be as powerful as the cheaper ones I would definitely buy again.

 

Certainly has helped my teeth and gums health after being plagued with an area of gum disease, since using this it has now cleared up. Battery life is less than expected used twice a day I have to recharge about every 3 days, this isn’t a problem just a minor inconvenience.

 

I got this because I have issues with flossing (no space for interdental brushes) and pockets of trapped food caused by my wisdom teeth coming in. I had been using a small brush to try and clean the pockets but it was a bit ineffective and caused a lot of irritation. This is a good alternative. I decided on this pricer one because I had money to spend and it seemed a more trustworthy brand that’d last longer. I haven’t had any issues so far.

I use about one reservoir once to twice a day and the battery lasts a fair bit. However, one reservoir doesn’t last long, just enough to get about all my teeth at a moderate pace on the highest setting. Beware if you use really cold water and have sensitive teeth, it can be a shock. The main issue is how messy it can be. Since one reservoir doesn’t last long before having to refill, it’s rather impractical to use over the shower tray or bath prior to bathing. You’re likely going to get water all over your face and sink area. But, it’s much faster and more convenient for cleaning your teeth. I had no issues with putting the settings to the highest after a first try, just using water that’s a bit less cold goes a long way to combat any sensitivity. I haven’t tried the other head attachments but I assume they’d work as intended. I personally have a sensitive gag reflex which can make it difficult to use at the back but that’s just me, I have issues even using a toothbrush.

It’s pricy (I got it for about 60), but I feel that it was a good purchase that helped with my issues.

 

I have taken the plunge, literally by purchasing a water flossing product. I have read numerous reviews on this and other similar products before buying, but nothing prepares you for the experience. No matter how dexterous you may be you will splash water everywhere until you get the hang of it. Please persevere, it is worth it and you will genuinely feel the difference once you have used it a few times. I’m sure my dental hygienist will be mightily impressed!

 

Overall this flosser is quality made. I was really looking forward to having a good quality water flosser, as with the last another brand named one I bought made it extremely difficult to source periodontal tips which I need for my oral health and in the end it broke from attempts to get ones to fit.

I bought this hoping all issues would be in the past, but the periodontal tips I bought that were linked to suit this flosser via their main website don’t fit properly. Making for a poor cleaning experience.

For the device itself, after full charging with the quite impressive charger I must say, it seems lacking in oomph/pressure. Even my cheaper other brand model would take an eye out where as this feels like it might just hurt a bit. Odd comparison but it’s descriptive.

I’ve been using various flossers over the years, most have been waterpik. I will try and source different tips and come back at a later date with hopefully a more sparkly review, which I’d really like to do.

On a lighter note this thing is coming travelling with me soon and I quite liked the travel bag and the travel stopper that’s provided. Maybe a trip will have us reenergized and up to standard.

 

Excellent for cleaning gaps between teeth and along gum line. I initially thought that the small reservoir relative to other products would be an issue. However it takes maybe 2 seconds to refill, so I use this to clean the gaps between teeth with one tank, refill, and then clean the gum line. I think during COVID that you would have to be careful to clean the exterior of the device, but since it is waterproof you can just rinse it of and wipe it down. Recharging is easy but takes a little while. I usually leave the device charging overnight when it needs it. Very happy with the purchase.

 

An excellent device, backed up by many high quality medical studies and research articles. I did some research on its claims, as I cynically anticipated it being a heavily asterisked claim backed up by smallprint as vague as “5.5 out of ten users reported”; but no, this device and its potential benefits seems to have been studied extensively.

My anecdotal experience is that, as a former smoker I used to suffer bleeding gums almost daily while and after brushing despite using a powerful electric toothbrush and chlorhexidine based mouthwashes and toothpastes. After even a week of once daily use with this, my bleeding had subsided significantly; and in the subsequent weeks the bleeding stopped entirely. My mouth feels so much cleaner, too, generally!

The sensation of using the device is likely to be unusual or uncomfortable to begin with, but you soon get used to it; the initial discomfort highly outweighed by its proven dental benefits and a definitely smoother and cleaner mouthfeel after use.

I have not had any issues with the battery life, or the power output being weak; I use it on its highest setting and putting a finger tip near the jet, it feels like a physical object almost pricking the finger.

The only thing I would say is I would have appreciated a larger water tank; as the device in my opinion isn’t very portable as it is, being far larger than an electric toothbrush or something of that nature, and is unlikely to go travelling with me. I think the product designer should have considered that and added a larger water tank (even 1.5x the capacity it is) given that it certainly isn’t even massively portable in its current state. I feel that would have been a worthwhile design compromise, as in its current form I either have to be very swift with my usage or refill the tank once while using it thoroughly (front and back of all teeth gaps and gums) on the high power setting. Not a big deal, but I think would have been easily rectified and would benefit from sacrificing its “portability” for a greater capacity.

The issues people seem to have with not being able to see the controls or light displays while using it I couldn’t really agree with, as you can very easily rotate the head of the device a full 360 degrees, which means when using it in the mirror I can clearly see the setting I’m on and the battery indicator lights while I’m using it.

I purchased a second one for my partner, and two of my work colleagues also purchased after one my recommendation and also only have positive things to say about the Waterpik.

Perhaps I would have thought twice at its original retail price, but I’m really glad I picked (Piked?) this up at a discounted price during a lightning deal.

+ Easy to use
+ Powerful water jet
+ Very clean teeth and gums, post use
+ Clinical/medical research backs up its claims
+ Sturdy device
+ Great add on accessories
+ Decent battery life

– Not in my opinion very portable at all, other than from room to room in the house
– Quite cumbersome, might not suit older people or those with upper body strength impairments
– Low capacity water tank

 

After scouring the internet for a few days I finally decided on WP 560UK .It seemed quite expensive for a tooth pik but I needed something better than floss as i was getting food stuck in places I couldn’t reach.I certainly wasn’t disappointed with my purchase .This has 3 speeds/pressure settings ,which in my opinion is a lot better than just having low and high( I suppose that’s obvious really)
It comes with a charger,travel bag and It has a set of 4 tools which consists of 2 Classic Jet Tips for general use, 1 Plaque Seeker Tip for use with dental implants and other dental work, 1 Orthodontic Tip for cleaning around braces which come with it and you can add to them separately. The charger clips on with a strong magnet onto the front of the Waterpik and when charged(which takes 4 hrs which in my opinion is quick) It comes with a 2 pin plug so if you want a 3 pin one you will have to purchase it separately
The reservoir lasts approx 45 seconds. I sometimes refill it 3 times but not everybody will need to do this and it is advisable to use tepid water.
On top of the flosser where you place the tools there is a turn dial so you can get your tool in the right position The buttons are placed in the perfect place for your fingers so you don’t have to fumble trying to stop or alter the speed whilst using.
There is a quick release button so you can easily remove the tools .This is one of my best buys this year and the only downfall for me is that i wish i bought it sooner.

 

I purchased this water pik after a few weeks of deliberation and comparing a number of alternatives.

I had quite a Iot of dental work done over an 18 month period, having broken off one of my front teeth. It was not until this happened that I realised how bad my previous dentist had been in looking after my teeth. I have gastritis and it was not until he retired and I changed dentists I realised just how badly my teeth had been affected by my gastritis. Hence my decision to see how I could help myself improve my aural health.

Now that most of the work is completed I have a dental routine which appears to be helping keep down the acid and reducing the damage to my teeth. A big part of this is with the assistance of the Water pik.

I use it at least twice a day; firstly to remove the food debris which accumulates between my teeth- in places where I cannot use a tepe brush and again after I have brushed my teeth to remove any acid produced by my toothpaste. Followed then by Curasept mouthwash which again helps to protect against acid. I still use the tepe brushes – I do not see the Waterpik as an alternative, but as additional to my usual routine.

The Water pik has a small brush for use around dental implants and braces, etc. which is extremely useful. The pack comes with 4 attachments, one of which I use as a nose cleaner, again effective for helping with my gastritis.

I also use it any time during the day if I have eaten anything which has stuck between my teeth. Again it cleans the debris extremely efficiently. Some of my teeth are very close together.

Before purchasing I read numerous comments regarding difficulty of use. As with a previous reviewer, my dentist stated that there was no real proof that this works instead of string flossing, but I find string flossing not easy to use and the Waterpik gives me a better result.

I use my Water pik in the shower which reduces the problem of water spray significantly. Other than that, spray is kept to a minimum if used over a sink or basin keeping the mouth very slightly open and not stood upright looking through a mirror. The Water pik has the added advantage of 3 strength levels and I would recommend starting on low and filling with warm water. Not too much of a problem if used correctly.

In my opinion, I have found that the battery life is also very good. Bearing in mind my usage I need to charge it about every 10-14 days.

I initially gave it 4 stars as I have not yet been able to test its use for travel, although I cannot foresee any problem with that in my particular circumstances

Would I recommend it – without a doubt had it not started leaking

However I have found that it is leaking quite badly. Not sure where the leak is coming from but will consider contacting Amazon in view of this. I left it on the window sill and the next morning there was quite a lot of water leakage as you can see. I hadn’t noticed it before as it is usually empty or I empty it when I have finished using it. I usually have to fill it at least once and had noticed it before but thought that I had spilt water when filling it. The alternative, make sure its emptied after every use.
