Customer Reviews of Conair WJ7B Interplak Water Jet
Customer Review: Am I Blue?
Summary: 1 Stars
Yes, it's true. I'm blue.
This is a POS. Do not buy. Stay away from all blue receptacle waterpik's that cost below 50.
You'll regret it. My last waterpik was Hydrafloss. It lasted two years. I went with el cheapo thinking it would do much the same thing for my teeth.
WRONG! It's all cheap plastic. So the water can't get up through the hose due to--poor design. If you do get it to work for a day or so, I commend you.
But be warned, if all you hear is motor and there is no water coming up to irrigate your teeth, do what I did; smash it into a thousand pieces and take it back to customer service at Walmart.
No you won't get your money back, but the look on their faces is worth the 30 for crap I paid for!
Customer Review: Lots of water pressure....a little bit messy!
Summary: 4 Stars
I just bought this last week and tried it out lastnight. I owned one of the older models previously but never used it. Well, I bought this item as a gift from my father (he had given me a gift card) it is a cute little set up. The kids liked the looks of it, but were scared when it came time to use it. My three year old daughter tried it but my five year old son would not come near it. The water-pressure is very strong. I have no complaints about the power of this item. My only complaint is that I wish there was a way to suction all of the water out of your mouth like at the dentist office. My daughter simply swallows all of it. I prefer to spit it out. Any ideas? Overall it is pretty good to clean your teeth and gums!Customer Review: Works well for a while...
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this water jet from another retailer and it worked well for quite a while (when I remembered to use it) - fine for the price. I bought it to clean around my new crown (protecting my investment, you know). It worked very well for that purpose, and since I am the type that detests flossing, this water jet stuff was great. Admittedly, this has been mostly a bathroom counter decoration for me. I clean the dust off occasionally. Last week when I tried to use it, nothing noticeable happened other than a slight "hum". I tried another outlet, I tried scrubbing parts clean - nothing worked. I would say the total useable life of my product was perhaps a year (I've had it for around two years).Customer Review: Well, it's not the WJ7
Summary: 2 Stars
First of all, Target.com is selling the wrong unit. The WJ7 has received rave reviews elsewhere, and I made my selection based on those.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, what I received was a WJ7R. That "update" has not been as well received. I have seen a number of complaints concerning low-pressure on the "R".<br />
<br />
To make matters worse, the unit wouldn't pump. I followed the instructions, including the adddendum inside the reservoir, to the letter and got no water to pump.<br />
<br />
When I took the defective unit back to Target, all they had on the shelves were the WJ7B, still not what I ordered.Customer Review: Powerful enougth
Summary: 4 Stars
Another reviewer was disappointed that the new units did not have quite the power of the older units. I agree, although I feel that the highest setting is sufficient to do the job. My previous Interplak irrigator finally died after 6 years of regular use. I am a practicing dentist so I have seen first hand the benefits of this irrigator. The pulsing action of the water improves the circulation of the gums. This is a great instrument for everyone but especially those who can't or won't floss. I like putting a tablespoon of mouthwash into the water to make the water taste better and it kills a few bugs at the same time.
