Waterpik Cordless Plus Water Flosser (UK 3-Pin Plug) - White Edition

After recently undergoing extensive dental work in Vietnam I took my dentist's advice and bought one of these Waterpik devices. I have now been using it for a couple of weeks and am delighted to say I have noticed a huge difference. There is a knack to using these things, and after my first attempt during which I showered myself and the bathroom, I watched a couple of short How-to Videos on YouTube.. They suggest pursing the lips around the jet, and releasing the water every few seconds; this is where I went wrong the first time. It really is easy once you know how. Start on the lower setting (there are only two on this model), and once you get used to it, raise the pressure. I use tepid water, as I have sensitive teeth; also, turning the jet (which rotates 360 degrees) towards the back of the reservoir makes it easier to access the front and back of the teeth. I usually brush my teeth before using the Waterpik, and am astonished at how much food debris is removed after using it. The whole thing takes ten minutes at most which is no time at all to devote to good oral hygiene; I wish I'd had one of these years ago. I've used it twice a day, every day for just over a week and haven't had to charge it. I specifically chose the cordless model so I can take it with me wherever I go. For me it's been worth every penny, especially if you break down the cost per day. Update 18th August I've now been using this twice a day for six months, and whilst it does the job I've noticed the battery is not holding its charge for as long as it did. I've been charging it once a week for the past couple of months, but this past week or so there is a definite loss of power after just two or three days. This is disappointing so I am going to contact Waterpik to see what they suggest. Update 19th August Yesterday I had a live chat with Amazon and was immediately offered a replacement which arrived today! Excellent service.

I bought a Waterpik Cordless WP-450 for myself a couple of weeks ago from the large chemist chain (cheaper on Amazon). I fully charged the unit as per instructions - and the first time I used it I could not believe how clean my mouth felt. All food bits came away easily, and although I did get a little 'wet' the first few times I used it, I'm an expert now. I could never reach my back teeth with normal flossing methods, and this solves that problem. The criticism I read about the 450 are to me completely unfounded. My charge lasted for at least 5 days, and I used it twice every day. But it's no hassle charging it anyway, so why this is a criticism I do now know. Also, some have stated the water tank is too small. Well, I don't think my mouth is any smaller than anyone elses, and I find the amount of water it holds absolutely spot on. Some said it was 'flimsy', of poor quality. It is made of plastic of course, to make it lighter to hold I assume, and I am storing it in a safe place to ensure I don't knock it over by accident - but I can't see why that is a problem. My only slight criticism is it would be good to have an indicator light to show when the unit is fully charged or near to the end of it's charge. This is a slight problem though, and wouldn't say this is a good enough reason not to buy. In fact, I'm so impressed, I've purchased another for my son (birthday present), who has problems flossing as his teeth are quite close together. I know he will be delighted. Please don't take on board the negative reviews. This product is excellent.

Bought to help with keeping a partially erupted wisdom tooth and the surrounding area clean, after a couple of painful bouts of pericoronitis. Positives: The waterpik has been highly effective in this so far, and a month and a half of using it twice daily has kept away the inflammation I'd suffered previously. However, it is worth noting that (somewhat like flossing for the first time in a while) using the waterpik on the inflamed area of gum did result in some bleeding from the area initially, though I found this stopped after 2-3 days. Notes: The waterpik, while good, does not provide sufficiently thorough flossing on its own (at least in my case). I have found a combination of the waterpik and traditional string floss has worked best for me. Using the Waterpik for 5 minutes overall every day has meant that I have found charging it every night has been necessary to maintain the required level of power. A low battery and charging indicator is definitely lacking and would be helpful to include as a basic feature. Recently, my Waterpik recently appeared to lose its more powerful setting, despite sufficient charging. This turned out to be due to a small blockage in the tip, which once cleaned, solved the issue. Overall, a good product which I have found to be very effective, with only a couple of downsides.

This is a great gadget! I've always struggled to floss my teeth and am regularly reprimanded by my dentist for not doing it enough, so this flosser has been a lifesaver. Yes, it does splash a bit of water onto the bathroom mirror if you're not careful and, yes, I wouldn't recommend using it whilst wearing a long-sleeve top but these are minor points. As long as you keep your mouth reasonably closed and hold your head over the sink so the water can flow out it isn't difficult to use and the results feel great. You can feel the water jet coming through the gaps in your teeth and can get to all your teeth without any problems. It holds a charge well, is easy to fill and you can do a really good job with 1 or 2 tanks full of water. My dentist advised me this wasn't a replacement for using floss but it has to be better that not flossing, which is mainly what I was doing beforehand!

The water reservoir is too small, you get about three teeth done and then it needs filling up again. It works well though, teeth feel nice and clean, but it’s very annoying that there’s so little room for water and it constantly needs filling up.

Advised by my Dr. to use this gadget which is suppoto be better than dental floss. Purchased this! Great quality & works well. Easy to use, not easy to wash & dry. Wish there was a better way to dislodge, wash & fully dry the water container !

Après 8 mois d'utilisation, je suis très contente du produit. C'est ce que je voulais. 2 niveaux de puissance, et une longue autonomie. Pour le moment je le mets en charge tous les 15 jours plus ou moins sans vraiment savoir si c'est nécessaire ou pas. Je l'utilise qu'une fois par jour.

Cumple perfectamente con las especificaciones que se ofrecen. Era para regalar a mi mujer y la caja llegó en perfecto estado desde Inglaterra. El cargador es con tres clavijas ( viene de UK ) pero trae un adaptador para enchufe de España Viene con 4 boquillas específicas ( normal, ortodoncia, lengua...) . Si lo quiere usar más de una persona debe comprar boquillas adicionales. El diseño es bastante ergonómico y no pesa mucho. La única pega que le pondría es que el depósito de agua dura poco pero al tratarse de un modelo portátil no se le puede pedir más. Ideal para llevarlo de viaje a cualquier sitio.

After 3 months of continuous use battery started to get weaker and weaker till the point that it lasted 30 seconds of use, in between it started to make some funny noises, contacted a Mason for some support and being told that in 3 days reseller will contact me, it has passed more than a week and no signs of the reseller. Avoid this product if you can

I wish I had been sent the white one as ordered but I got a black one ... not going to send it back because I needed it really bad. I had a popcorn husk stuck in my furthest back upper tooth that I was unable to floss out...I tried so hard my gums started bleeding and it got too sore to touch so I got this little machine. When I turn the waterpik on that area, it took a few seconds and that husk shot out into the sink. Relief at last, WOW! It's a great size and I love not having to plug it in. I use it once a day now, every night before bed and tuck it away in the bathroom cabinet instead of having to leave a big bulky machine on the counter top. It took just a few days to get used to it ... I shot water up on the ceiling a few times, on the mirror and on my clothes just because of the button placements but once I got use to holding it on the sides, it's not been a problem. I was amazed at the small food particles that come out from between my teeth AFTER I brush them. A part of my daily routine now ... I love this little compact personal waterpik and recommend you get one!
