Review (4/5): Great for traveling
I ordered this because I have a couple teeth that food gets stuck in a LOT and it's super annoying. I was using those picks but not only are they expensive BUT I noticed some of the plastic on it would be gone after using it on my teeth. Where was the plastic going? It was there and now it's not so it must be in my mouth! We do NOT need to be swallowing any more plastic!! I have a regular water pick and tooth brush combo but saw this and thought it would be GREAT travel with! Comes with a nice little bag to put it in which is nice because once you put water in it, unless you take it apart, there will be some water left in there. I squirt out as much as I can when I'm done but it's not totally cleaned out. That being said I think it's probably wise after a couple of months at least if not sooner you should maybe run some vinegar through it to clean it really well. I did that to start with to clean it before I used it.
As for the settings.... I would like if there were more than 3 but for a travel one I'm OK with it only being 3. As another reviewer said, you DO need to make sure the light is lit on the setting you want to start off with. I'm used to using a water pick so I like it up pretty high but you may not! If you're new start low.
I can get through all of my teeth in my water tank but I have to go fast. If I've had some sticky stuff I may have to fill it back up again for a second go round. I saw some bigger ones but I like how this one is a little smaller. It does it's job.
I don't have a problem with cleaning mine after each go round. Someone mentioned cleaning it after each time. I just wipe it off with my hand towel. It's water that came out of my mouth. I have my own hand towel that no one else uses and it's my spit and I wash my hands afterwards so I don't feel it needs to be sanitized all the time. Maybe if you were sharing it but this is mine!
I really like how you can charge it in any USB adapter. Super convenient these days.
It comes with several pieces. For the normal water picker to blow stuff from your teeth then there's plenty for others in the family or if you just want to use another while one is drying from being cleaned or something. I haven't used the tongue piece yet. I have a tongue scraper I'm fond of so this doesn't appeal to me.
I do really recommend this!
