Customer Reviews of WaterPik WP-60W Personal Dental Water Jet System
Customer Review: Save Your Sales Receipt
Summary: 2 Stars
What a piece of junk! I had it for a full day -- just long enough to throw out my sales receipt, of course -- before the hose popped off the handle, shooting water all over the bathroom. I'm not sure why Waterpik expected the hose to stay on the handle in the first place; it looks like it must have been secured with spit -- or prayers -- as there is no tape or gromit of any kind to secure it. Apparently a "handle replacement kit" is available from the manufacturer, and I have inquired how I might order one. I suspect Waterpik does a thriving business selling these, as the hose/handle connection is so flimsy it seems sure to fail -- in my case, within one day. My advice: save your sales receipt in case you need to return your unit to the store where you bought it, or you require warranty service. Pathetic.
ADDENDUM (written one week later): Well, I was wrong. You DON'T need to save your receipt, unless you want to return a failed WP-60 to the store. I contacted Waterpik at their website, explained the problem -- and one week later they sent a whole new unit. I must say, they certainly stand behind their (faulty) product! (Perhaps it helps if you point out, as I did, that if the problem of the hose detaching is common enough to warrant a topic on their customer support page, perhaps they might engineer a more effective solution!) Does the new unit work? The hose appears to be affixed more securely to the handle, but I am still using my first unit, as I devised a simple but effective solution while Waterpik was making their move: just by wrapping a length of Scotch plastic tape around the detached hose, you increase the circumference of the hose enough to make a snug fit with the little white plastic collar tucked in the handle where the hose attaches. So you just remove the collar from the handle, slide the collar on the hose now reinforced with the tape, plug the hose into the handle, then reinsert the collar so the tab fits under the lip of the handle. Again, one wonders how Waterpik stays in business effecting such elaborate solutions to such simple (but critical) design flaws; it's like an auto manufacturer giving you a whole new car because they had installed faulty lug nuts on one of your wheels. Another design flaw that shouldn't exist on such a mature product: the irrigation tips really need a gnurled grip so you can turn them in your mouth easily when they get wet while in use. Beyond this, the motor works (so far), and Waterpik does stand behind the product. One also has to wonder, however, what would happen to Waterpik's market share if a Japanese company who sweats the details like Panasonic decided to make a plug-in oral irrigator...
SECOND ADDENDUM (written a few months later): Grrr -- the cleaning tip broke this morning when I tried to remove it from the hose. You'll need to keep a spare or two in the house, and I understand that Waterpik only sells the tip with a tongue cleaner, which I don't need. Again, yet another fault in what should by now be a mature product...

Finally, there is an easier, more effective alternative to string floss: The Waterpik Classic Water Flosser WP 60. The WP 60 is ideal for those who don't like to floss, as well as for anyone who wants a deep clean that floss simply can't provide. Water flossing for about a minute a day conveniently and comfortably removes up to 99.9% of plaque from treated areas and gently massages the gums to improve overall oral health. The WP 60 is clinically proven to be up to twice as effective as string floss at improving gum health.
Three Unique Tips Clean in Specialized Ways
Offering three unique tips: the Classic Jet Tip, the Pik Pocket Tip, and the Tongue Cleaner, the WP 60 thoroughly cleans your whole mouth. For healthier gums, the Classic Jet Tip reaches below the gumline to help keep your mouth healthy. The Pik Pocket Tip gently delivers medicaments and rinses deep below the gumline. And the Tongue Cleaner removes bacteria from your tongue to help freshen breath.
Spacious Reservoir Has More to Offer
The WP 60 spacious reservoir holds enough water to accommodate up to 90 seconds of use, preventing the need for refills. Its reservoir also doubles as a hygienic storage cover for the tips and handle. You can even add your favorite mouthwash to the reservoir for a truly deep and fresh-feeling clean.
Adjustable Water Pressure Gives You Control
Personalize your water-pressure intensity with the WP 60's adjustable water-pressure control system. Choose from six gentle-to-powerful water-pressure settings to meet your needs. The WP 60's unique combination of water pressure and pulsations massage and stimulate gums, removing plaque deep between teeth and below the gumline where traditional brushing and flossing can't reach.
The Waterpik Classic Water Flosser WP 60 is backed by a two-year warranty
