Waterpik Ultra Water Flosser with 10 Settings, 6 Tips, ADA Accepted, White

We bought this unit while on vacation. We had an older unit at home which was still working fine. This newer model has nice features so we are now reserving our older model for vacations. We like the top of the water container where we can store our personal tools

The device works well and was easy to set up. The only confusing part was the lid on the tank. It was not clear how to remove it, especially because it comes in two parts connected by a hinge. The lower part, it turns out, is a storage place for other nozzles. The entire two-piece lid lifts off. It is not permanently connected to the tank or base. Now I just use the device without the lid on the tank.

I've used the Ultra for about a month and I am completely satisfied with this product. I'm very pleased and so glad that I made the decision to try water flossing to better clean my teeth and gums. It's a good product and I would definitely recommend it. Overall, it works well with plenty of pressure (even at low settings). There is enough water storage to handle my cleanings.

I was just diagnosed with early gum disease and an infection between two of my teeth. I went from normal check ups to OMG no!!!! The dentist recommended a few additions to my daily dental routine, including incorporating a Waterpik. I'll admit, I was hesitant at first, but it's worked really well and every time I use it after dinner, along with the rest of my dental routine, my teeth feel incredibly clean, almost as though I just was at the dentist for a cleaning! I'm impressed. It's not messy as long as you are looking down into the sink and not into the mirror while using it. It's also not huge, which is a plus!

It's been many years since I used a Water Pic. The first time I tried to use it, water went everywhere. Apparently, the piece wasn't completely in the wan. I thought I had snapped it on, but was mistaken I guess. Lesson learned! It wasn't about the pressure, I guess I didn't read the directions correctly.

After repeated mentions from my dental hygienist and my dentist, I purchased your product. This is the first one I have owned. It does take a little bit to get use to, especially turning it OFF before removing it from my mouth. I have used two of the attachments and found them both easy to use. Keeping the end pointed at my gums and teeth is also easy as I can feel the water and where it is impacting. I have only increased the pressure to about half and it felt comfortable to use at that level. I had already brushed my teeth before using, so I was surprised by the pieces of food that were dislodged and showed up in the sink. I believe this will be a great addition to my dental hygiene and my dental team will be Happy I added it.

I am pleased with this water flosser after about 6 weeks. The flosser handle itself is nice and thin, so it's easy to move it around your mouth. The only thing I don't like is how the water hose connecting the handle to the main unit is coiled and doesn't like to straighten out, which can affect how I hold the flosser handle when flossing. This unit would be much easier to use if the hose wasn't meant to stay all coiled up. But I suppose it stays coiled so it fits in the unit for traveling or something. I'd be much happier if the hose wasn't coiled.

I would have given it a 5 but for a tiny problem when you initially start to use it. You have to hold the canister down to engage the unit. Not an issue for me now that I've figured that out, but someone less mobile might have a problem. The 5-star component of this model is the cleanable water canister. That was the main reason for buying this particular Waterpik. Cheaper models and off brands are subject to mold growing in the water compartment.

It's pretty loud for what it is. To be honest. I mean I wouldn't mind spending more for money actually to not get a loud one. I don't care if it's budgeted anymore. That being said, I also think that the controls are big clunky. I don't see the reason why two valve.

After using it for a couple of weeks, I've noticed it causes my teeth and gums to become sensitive even with low pressure, so I don't use it every day. I use it twice a week, and the rest are regular dental floss. Overall, it's a great product concept.
