Review (5/5): The best of the 3 types I've tried
I've now had 3 types of water picks and this is the best so far. The first was an actual water pik. Its power level was too high for me and it was inconvenient to use. It cluttered the sink, had a clunky coiled hose and needed ac power to run. I stopped using it after a few months even though my mouth felt clean. When my pockets Reached 4-5 and the dentist suggested additional visits I bought my second unit. This one you filled with water and it had a charging base so no hoses and it was easy to use. The ease of use and the clean feeling I got by using made it enjoyable to use. I continued using it daily for about 1.5 years. My red gums went away and most pockets reduced by 1-2 so the dentist and I were really impressed. But the pump got slower and slower so I bought this one. This connects directly to the faucet and provides an unlimited supply of water. The pressure is adjustable using the faucet valve so you have better control compared to the other units. There is no power or tank to fill. Just insert in your mouth and turn on. It seems well made so I think it will last a long time.
