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.

The switch for the dual tank is too small, and since the base is very light it's impossible to switch with one hand while you're holding the pik with the other hand.

The water pressure was disappointing with the "standard" head and the water tank runs out far too quickly with any but the fine point head.

This device works "OK". Jet stream is moderate. Noise is considerable. Has a lot of attachments that really don't do much. I'm not sure what the brushes even do. The dual tank function is pretty good. But lack of pressure and too much noise outweigh the good part.

I originally purchased this item after getting my wisdom teeth removed (after healing, but before the spaces filled in). It did the job getting the food out of the spaces, and then I started using it regularly because I liked the other benefts of using a water pik. I have been blessed with great teeth, but I have never been one to get myself to floss, this does a great job of replacing flossing, but it also does a great job leaking all over my bathroom counter. I did get a good year out of it, so for the price that's ok. I am going with a Waterpik model that is rated better, but a little more costly, now that I know I will keep using it.

This water jet is excellent. It allows you to have a separate chamber for water and mouthwash. It also comes with different attachments for your gums, teeth and tongue. Excellent product at an excellent price!

If you crank the pressure up on this thing it will strip the skin from the inside of your mouth. And I'm not exaggerating. It's also SUPER LOUD so be prepared. The dual tank thing is more of a pain than a benefit. If you ever need to switch to the other tank you have to sit there and turn the pressure knob up and down until liquid begins to shoot out. Not a deal breaker by any means though. It works well and I'm still using it to this day.

I've had this unit for about a year and have never liked it much. Its lack of power first off, then the two section tank which was far more trouble than its worth. First, the selector switch on the tank broke so now it only had one half a tank. Then last week while removing the tank to fill, the whole bottom broke off leaving the unit as a worthless piece of plastic. Not much of a loss and I blame myself for not paying more attention to what I was buying. Save your money and don't buy this piece of junk.

Low pressure water and bad design make this a junker.
Low pressure: you will not be able to clean much of anything from your teeth.
Bad design: Lifting up the water container and putting back in place will most likely cause the useless accessory nozzles to go flying about your bathroom, so instead of cleaning your teeth, you are on your knees looking for the little white cheaply made pieces of plastic.
Whoever designed this should be fired.
