Customer Reviews of Panasonic EW1270AC Portable Oral Irrigator
Customer Review: Great on the go oral irrigator.
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought 4 Portable Oral Irrigators for my family for stocking stuffers. I am not a dental hygienist, but believe that after having my gums scraped once that you cannot floss enough. My 7-year-old son uses the product twice a day, when before flossing was a bowl of tears and rarely occuring. It is simple to use, and does what it needs to do. I wish they made the unit or the "pik" in different colors so you can differentiate users. We solved the problem with a Sharpie. Also it has no power adjustment like the electric ones do, so if you are ultra sensitive, it may take a while to get used to. Keep in mind you are buying a "portable" irrigator, so those things should not be expected. Good price point too.Customer Review: Must have
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't know how people live without one of these. Unfortunately, I left mine in a hotel in Cabo San Lucas and don't want to bother trying to have it mailed back. It has been a week and I have to buy another one. I'm used to the fresh feeling that a toothbrush, toothpaste and mouthwash don't leave. The Panasonic leaves my mouth feeling CLEAN. I also had the 'Grossan Original Throat Irrigator' to remove any tonsiloliths (throat stones). It is quite pricey, $17, but worth it. It attaches perfectly to the Panasonic. The Panasonic doesn't not hold much water and you will have to fill it about two times when using, but who cares? After a while it will get dirty, but you can take it apart and wash it.Customer Review: Helpful Dental Tool

I ordered this item because it works on rechargeable batteries and does not have to take up space on the counter top while recharging. Also, most built in rechargeable batteries, I have found, seem to start loosing their power after a year or less. I have lots of AA Rechargeables since my digital camera uses them!
Yes, you need to fill the tank 3 or 4 times to clean all your teeth. BUT, I have used this Panasonic Irrigator about 20 times and I have always had food particles removed from my teeth.
I bought it to keep my teeth free of food particles and it does a great job. The small size is a bonus! With the extra tips that I purchased, my wife gets to use it also!
Customer Review: Works well within limitations
Summary: 4 Stars
Very handy unit, especially for use when traveling. Collapses into compact package. Does not run for 20 minutes as advertised (probably a typo), but the water supply will last maybe 30 seconds - enough time to rinse your teeth pretty well. (You can quickly refill the reservoir and resume cleaning with minimum delay and inconvenience.) Big tip: although unit works well with ordinary alkaline batteries (2 AA cells) invest a few dollars in rechargeable NiMH cells as used in digital cameras; they power the irrigator for a long time with top performance and can be easily recharged. I'm buying more of the irrigators for gifts; they are inexpensive and provide a useful purpose.Customer Review: Improved but can do better
Summary: 4 Stars
The new Panasonic oral irrigator is a vast improvement over the old one. It has a significantly largerwater reservoir and a much better "holding-pen" for the irrigator tip when not in use. However, the little latch-door over the water-filling hole came off almost immediately - as did the one on my old Panasonic and only the fact that it came off where I could find it keeps the implement usable. I had to get rid of the old one when I lost the latch. Batteries never last as long as one might wish but that's a minor cavil. And it's a bit heavy, but one of the few portable irrigators available and better than its few competitors. Overall, at the price, it's a good tool.
