Customer Reviews of WaterPik WP-72 Professional Dental Water Jet
Customer Review: Good, but messy.
Summary: 4 Stars
This product DOES do the job and do the job well! However, water goes EVERYWHERE! I have yet to figure out how to use it without having to clean the mirror and mop up the floor afterward.However, if the user has braces, THIS IS THE PRODUCT FOR YOU! Messy or not, it is worth it. Think of how much you paid (or are currently paying off) for those braces!
I waited to post this review for six months. That is when my son got his braces and the dentist recommended this product to me. The water pulses feel wonderful when the gums hurt from fitting and tightenings, and the water can get those little places that a tooth brush (electric or not) cannot reach.
If only there was a way to keep the water from bouncing off the teeth and/or braces and splattering everywhere!
Customer Review: Get this NOW!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Sure, it makes a little bit of noise, (not digging up the street loud though) and is a little messy. But after the first use, I can deal with it. I could tell my teeth were really much cleaner then with brushing, flossing and using mouth wash alone. And my kids love it. The oldest got braces and just loves to use it. Says it helps with the pain of the braces and gets all the food out. We chose this model version over the others as it comes with 2 reservoirs and many different pressure settings. You can also get 3 different tips to use on it. Also, the feedback I read also helped me to decide to go with this model over the others along with all the features. With regular use, this will also save you money on cleaning bills to the dentists.Customer Review: Please don't use bleach to clean your teeth
Summary: 2 Stars
Despite the "advice" of the dental hygenist mentioned below, please do not use a diluted bleach solution to clean your teeth. Bleach is toxic. Use diluted Listerine or other antibacterial mouthwash.
I bought this model, and the jury is still out as far as reliability. Mine worked the first time, at least. I have to agree that it is amazingly loud, even with a towel underneath. And yes, I fear my neighbors will think I'm running a lawnmower in the bathroom. The tongue scraper attachment seems worthlessly small; buy a stainless steel one instead for $3. Yes, the cord is too short and the unit is difficult to maneuver. But if you follow the directions enclosed in the package, you won't make such a huge mess.
Customer Review: Excellent cleaning device
Summary: 4 Stars
We purchased one of these when my wife got braces on her teeth. It has proven ideal for keeping her teeth and braces free of food particles.
It is slightly noisy (bear that in mind if you are using it early in the AM while your spouse and kids are sleeping!), and is quite compact. One complaint that I have is the hose - which curls tightly and sometimes caused the cleaner to twist in my hands - but this is not a big deal
The water resevoir is sized nicely, so that I have just enough water to finish a session.
The tongue cleaning device works quite well. You are given several different heads, so the whole family can use the unit, and have their own waterpik.
Highly recommended!
Customer Review: mine too! broke after a few months
Summary: 1 Stars
I had an older waterpik that lasted for about 10 years but had to "upgrade" to a new one when I couldn't get the old-style jet tips anymore (it was very annoying that the jet tips would wear out so fast; I was replacing them every few months. Smells like "planned obsolescence" to generate tip sales).
So the new one worked for a few months before it gradually took longer and longer to develop a useable pressure. The pump motor eventually seized and so into the garbage it went.
After reading here about how others have run into the same problem it's obvious the product is APOC so I Will Never Buy Another WaterPik Product Again!
