This is my second Waterpik flosser. I dropped the first one and it broke. I have been using one for two years now and I think it is great. It saves getting cuts on my hands from regular flossing when my skin is dry. The only drawback is that this flosser does not reach behind the last tooth (on all sides) so you need to use a small piece of floss for those areas. In order to prevent excess plaque buildup, my periodonist recommended alternating use between the Waterpik flosser and manual dental floss which I have been doing.

I picked this up at a dental convention and really like the results. I have the 110 model with the replaceable battery and I'm still on the first battery (your mileage may vary). I also use a Braun flosser but the tips are no longer made and are hard to find.

This is perfect for flossing around my cap; it is easier than the threader.

For as far as it goes, it works fine. 2 big drawbacks:

1. The tips are hard to come by. I bought the last replacements from Amazon - the price is similar to what I paid for some I found locally, but the ship costs really kill the price. I bought from Amazon because I couldn't find the tips again locally.

2. They are not a complete replacement for manual floss. I bought the item for my kids, to help them floss around their braces. It's a help, but not a total solution

I have been using these flosser piks for a few years. The Waterpik flosser was recommended by my dentist because my teeth are very close together and traditional flossing takes a lot of time. With the waterpik flossers I'm able to floss very quickly in the mornings. My teeth cleaning experiences have been much, much better now that I use the flossers.

I have been using the WaterPik flosser for over a year now and really like the unit. It was especially useful while I was wearing braces. The original unit came with aqua-colored tips that were much sturdier than the white replacement tips. They seem to hardly stand up to more than one use. Disappointing.

THis is a neat idea and I would certainly give it 5 stars except it's just not quite as good as regular floss. That's too bad because it's a lot easier on the hands. Unfortunately, I had trouble getting in between teeth when the contacts are tight and I never felt as though I could wrap it around the tooth surface as well as floss. If you're looking for alternatives, I'd also recommend the single use floss picks.

This flosser has definitely helped my coffee and tea stained lower teeth. My dentist will be proud!

batteries are old and won't recharge
and they are not replaceable
not worth the money
I didn't even get to use it once

I hate the thing it attaches to and I think it's a waste of money
