Customer Reviews of Waterpik Waterflosser Cordless Rechargeable WP-360W
Customer Review: Disappointed in Waterpik
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought one of these to replace my tank model that had literally worn out. I feel this model is subeffective and I have struggled with it for the very last time. I feel it is a faulty product, not up to Waterpik's innovations and reputation. I read the other reviews that are negative and I agree with them all. I assumed it was not available anymore, but here it still is. This model does not do what a water irrigation system should do (the tank model of Waterpik). This one is a big waste of money. However, I do want to say that I feel using oral water jets is the best way to clean between teeth, remove tiny lodged particles, and best of all, strengthen the gums, which all add up to less $$ at the dentist. The original invention of personal dental water irrigation was genius. It's just this particular style that I feel is not up to Waterpik standards. Spend a little more, get the bigger one with adequate tank and adjustable force. You won't be sorry.Customer Review: I have a dead one of these
Summary: 1 Stars
I never used mine in the shower or mistreated it, but it died anyway, after just a few weeks of use, and now sits in a cupboard because it looks brand new and I couldn't decide what to do with it. For a portable unit, it is also far too big, and as someone with relatively small hands, I found it very awkward to hold onto. By contrast, the battery-operated Panasonic Panasonic EW1270AC Portable Oral Irrigator is everything this is not--compact, easy to hold, and functional. I have 2 of those that have been working for years. This Waterpik is clunky, poorly designed, badly engineered, too big, and, as others have noted, does not work. We need the option to provide no stars, or minus stars, for products with completely negative characteristics. If someone has the address of a Waterpik office I can send this disaster to, I'd be grateful. Shame on them.Customer Review: Not worth the money...
Summary: 2 Stars
I had high hopes for this item but it turned out to be too much of a hassle.
Pros:
-Cordless
-Compact
-Comes with extra tip
-Affordable
-Easily gives those front and side teeth a good cleaning
Cons:
-Hard to fill
-Battery 'memory' is none existent after only 2 months of single person use.
-Unit doesn't appear to be waterproof (duh!) connections corrode and become unusable
-Messy - can't turn it to much to the side or water comes out so it can be difficult to get those back areas.
-Difficult to get the back teeth with the same effectiveness as the front teeth
-Needs to be filled more than once for a good thorough cleaning
My advice would be to spend the extra money and get the Waterpik Ultra Dental Water Jet. It isn't cordless or portable but it gets the job done well without all of the inconveniences of this product.
Customer Review: Some advantages over a conventional waterpik
Summary: 4 Stars
I chose this model for its small counter footprint compared with the previous devices I have owned. It has the advantage of not using a flexible tube to connect the pump to the hand peice, which tends to collect mold, and is nearly impossible to clean.
The water tank is small, but it is easily filled and refilled using a glass of lukewarm water, rather than directly from the tap, as it doesn't fit under my bathroom sink faucet.
Battery charge has not been a problem, but I recommend recharging after every two or three uses, to insure long battery life. Operating the unit until the battery is fully discharged before recharging will cause early battery failure, and it is not replaceable. The size and battery power make it suitable for travel.
Jet pressure is only adjustable by changing tips. This is satisfactory, but an adjustable pressure control would be a significant improvement.
Customer Review: Great for what it is...Small and Portable!
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this just prior to getting braces. I am in my 30's so I know what I need to do to keep my braces clean and was looking for something that wasn't bulky but would work well. After promptly breaking the high power tip because I didn't read directions I figured out how to use it properly with the low power.
It fishes all the gunk out and helps my mouth feel cleaner as well as clean out the braces so that they continue to dig into my cheeks and tongue. I have now broken the low power tip and just ordered replacements (cheaper on Amazon even with shipping than at the waterpik store) and I miss using it already.
Yes I have to refill it, but it's portable - isn't the point of being cordless/portable making it small enough to carry around? I took it on vacation and it lasted all week with no recharge. I (knock on wood) have not had any issue with the battery and no, I don't drain it all the way first.
