buy this one
so i went on a trip and forgot my waterpik. I'm a fanatic. I really liked mine to boot, so I looked for a cheap backup on Amazon to tide me over till I got back and WOW. I'm so glad I ignored all the reviews and gave this one a try. I actually like that the reservoir is smaller than my old one. I can waterpik my teeth to death (fanatic, remember?) and this helps me stop that. I can do my whole mouth efficiently with one or two piks full. So besides being smaller, more compact and lighter than my old one, this one charges with a NORMAL usbc charger. My old one had a special don't-lose-this-plug-or-you'll-never-charge-me-again one of a kind charger that I was always misplacing. Sure this one only has basically three levels of pressure and three weird pulse options, but the only setting I ever use is the softest normal setting so who cares? It was a great purchase. And for those complaining it worked once and never again - duh, charge it. it's dead. It lasts about a week on a charge. If it's not responding, let it sit an hour or so on the charger, it's just really dead. Tip - keep the charge port sealed with the silicone stopper attached to the unit. Don't be lazy. Keep the water out of the motor. That's just common sense. Treat it right and you will like this unit.
