Customer Reviews of Waterpik Waterflosser Cordless Rechargeable WP-360W
Customer Review: Looking for a travel option
Summary: 4 Stars
One of my teeth has my dentist calls a "deep pocket." It's caused by the bone structure of my teeth, and the only way it can be cleaned is with a Waterpik. Brushing and flossing all day won't do it. I am my dentist's "poster child" for successfully sustaining a recovery from severe gingivitis.
Occasionally I travel for business. I bought a battery-powered travel model but it just didn't have the oomph, and so have been actually checking a larger bag on the airline instead of using a carryon, specifically to lug the full sized Waterpik along so as not to miss a single night of dental hygiene.
The outstanding feature is this model is that it is portable. Even the charger is quite small. After reading all these reviews, it looks like it will be better to use it just for traveling and keep using the countertop one for everyday.
Thanks everyone who wrote a review.
Customer Review: Emergency waterpik
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased this item to take to my deer lease for emergency use because we eat a lot of meat down there(sorry PETA). I snapped the reservoir onto the body of the unit and let it charge overnight. The next evening I filled the reservoir up put the high pressure tip in and pulled the trigger (sorry Brady bunch). I was amazed at how hard it was to grip the unit was and immediately sprayed it all over my trailer and up my nose. After regaining some composure I just stared at this little machine and was tempted to chunk it into the woods. I have owned it for about a week now and I still don't like it and since it may be obsolete now I will probably take it back to Walmart ($33.00) and try to get my money back. All in all the pressure is barely adequate and the ergonomics are terrible.
Later: I tried to remove the reservoir and it wont come off like the instructions say it will--now I am pissed!!!
Customer Review: They Should be Ashamed
Summary: 1 Stars
I have had two of these WP-360W models and both lost their ability to hold a charge. The first lasted about a year, certainly no longer, and the last one quit in less than a year. Have always run them completely down to avoid nicad memory imprinting. Battery technology is much more advanced that what Waterpic chose to use and they should be ashamed of themselves. This problem alone makes the unit a rip off, at best! I just can't understand why WaterPik would offer such a sorry excuse for a product. Forgive me for rating it so high but they insisted on at least one star. They do clean just fine but do need a larger reservoir. They are in fact a lot cleaner to have around than their big corded brothers, and they travel as well as one would expect. I must be completely stupid so I am ordering the newer more expensive Cordless Ultra with even less water capacity and hoping for the best.Customer Review: May not be worth it
Summary: 3 Stars
I wish I had read these reviews before purchasing mine but I was in a hurry to get something since I just got braces on my teeth. I bought the cordless version just for the fact that it would not take up a bunch of countertop space in my bathroom. It is very compact but that is the only positive.
The water tank does not hold enough water to clean your entire mouth, which makes perfect sense if you look at how small it is and consider how quickly the machine has to pump it out. It is annoying to have to keep filling it up.
I feel the pressure is too hard. Even with the "gentle cleaning tip" it still hurts to use it. I don't see any difference between the two tips.
Not to mention it is difficult to use without spraying water all over the place.
I haven't had it long enough yet to comment on the battery life but it looks like the future is not so bright.
Customer Review: Battery will not hold a charge
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased my Waterpik a few years ago and Waterpik has replaced it since 5 times because of battery problems. The biggest problem with this device is that the battery doesn't last more than a few months. After about a month of use, the battery becomes so underpowered that it no longer rinses teeth effectively. A few weeks after I notice the battery is no longer charging effectively, the battery fails completely. I have to admit that Waterpik's Consumer Service has always responded promptly to my complaints by sending me a replacement unit at no charge. However, the replacement units last only a few months before they begin to die too and I have to begin the whole annoying process of asking for a replacement unit again. Evidently, Waterpik has not solved the battery problem. I would strongly advise against considering this product and dentists should cease recommending it.
