1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth buying--Action fine but falls apart, November 6, 2003

I bought this to supplement an old Waterpic so I didn't need to share it and space with other family members in the morning.
Worked fine initially. I like to use the fine, gum tips and it worked nicely with good pressure.
But within the first week the flow control button on the pic handle fell out. Cheap plastic design could not be repaired and reassembled. So I just put it back together and taped around the handle (black plastic tape-- not great for duct tape!!).
Then it worked fine, though without flow shutoff control, for about 4 weeks until it started leaking water from where the hose enters the handle- spray pressure near zero. Not an easy patch for that one so I'm tossing the unit. Has some other design flaws that can be worked around but is just too poorly designed and constructed to last very long.
Not worth buying. Try something else.

Intially this product worked excellently. Gradually, pieces started to fail. Button control failed. Returned unit and received a replacement. New unit power stream control failed after warrentee period out. Buy it as a throwaway if you can afford it.!

This Water Jet has a button on the handle just like the WaterPic. You push it to temporarily stop the flow of water. Here's a warning: it can take a lot of finger pressure to stop the flow of water especially if you have adjusted the dial for a hard flow. If you lack ordinary strength in your fingers stay away from this machine. I don't have a finger strength problem yet several times I've squirted water all over the bathroom because somehow I hadn't pushed hard enough on the stop button.

I had purchased a WaterPik, but had trouble with it leaking, and so purchased this Conair. The WaterPik is a much better quality product. The Conair seems to be very cheaply made, and I am not very happy with it. I am going back to using my WaterPik even though it occasionally springs a leak.
