I have used an oral irrigator for years. At my last cleaning my dentist said my gums looked great--not bad for a 69 year old). Well, I had an old Conair that I gave to a friend and bought a Waterpik at Walmart. The Waterpick lasted a few months until it lost pressure even on the highest setting. I searched online for a different manufacturer and bought this Flycat. (Note, I'm not really sure that the basic mechanism is really different.) So far, after 1 month, the Flycat appears to have sufficient pressure as long as I don't run it dry. In other words, as long as I leave a little liquid in the bowl, it starts off with sufficient pressure. I didn't try this with the Waterpik but maybe that would have saved me money.
