Customer Reviews of WaterPik WP-60W Personal Dental Water Jet System
Customer Review: WaterPik 60 a must have
Summary: 4 Stars
The waterpik 60 (larger receptacle is a must) works so well you can actually reverse the beginning of cavities and gum disease. Whenever you feel sensitivity of any kind between teeth or especially on gum line, just keep irrigating it daily with a capful of mouthwash or hydrogen peroxide added to the water. Otherwise, once or twice a week focusing on gum line, caps or any other type of dental apparatus works so well the dentist commends me at every visit on my amazing dental hygiene. I purchased the smaller waterpik as a replacement for my long-time larger one but it was simply too small and I had to fill it at least twice to get the amount of irrigation needed to get everything clean.Customer Review: Been using for over 15 years
Summary: 4 Stars
My dental problems have been dramatically reduced since using the WaterPik. It takes some practice to use it without spraying the bathroom, but when you get used to it, it's easy. It does not replace flossing, but gets out stuff that flossing doesn't. Handle traps water inside which allows thing to grow in there. I drill a hole or two in the bottom of the handle so it can drain, and problem is solved. Rinse handle in hot water after use to keep sanitary. If you find it too noisy, fold a washcloth under it to reduce noise. Also, drying it after use keeps it cleaner (water spots). Just bought the fourth one; first one lasted longer than later ones. Highly recommend.Customer Review: Quality is declining rapidly.
Summary: 1 Stars
I've used a waterpik everyday for over 20 years and found it very helpful in keeping my gums healthy. However, I have replaced it frequently over the years, always due to the same problem: leaking hoses. Every replacement lasts less and less time...5 years, 3 years, 1 year... The one I currently own lasted less than 30 days before the motor went out. I am returning it to the store. If I could find a better company, I wouldn't buy from Waterpik. Interplak's and Conair's oral irrigators are not strong enough for me in their stream of water. But until something better comes along, I find it a necessity to own a waterpik if you want to avoid periodontal disease.Customer Review: Junk
Summary: 1 Stars
I began using the Waterpik many years ago and highly recommended it to anyone who would listen. Unfortunately the company changed a good thing into pure junk. From day one it was time consuming to get the tank/reservoir to fit properly on the base. I bought the unit December 15, 2009 and it's July 2010, 7 months later, and my Waterpik now will only work on the lowest setting. The rest of the settings only produce a loud noise and no water. Now comes the hassle again to get it replaced or repaired.
If someone at Waterpik is listening, remember that reputation is everything. Please revert back to "the good old days" when you made a decent product.
Customer Review: Pain in the you-know-what...
Summary: 2 Stars
This is my third Waterpik oral irrigation system. The first two lasted at least 3 years. This one is a piece of you-know-what. First, the resevoir does not fit over the unit with the irrigator tool in place after use. Second, I have to fiddle with the resevoir several times before the water will travel through the irrigator tip properly...pain in the you-know-what. Third, it seems to need flushing with bleach and water to rid it of a musty smell in the irrigator tip. Once I get the blasted thing to work, it does a wonderful job of getting debris left after flossing, but it's still a pain in the you-know-what knowing that there are better models available.
