1 out of 5 stars Didn't Even Last A Month   October 6, 2008
KjelRay (33409)
I see I'm not alone here, but I wanted to add my experience so potential victims can see another one-star review. Actually I'd like to give this product no stars but the system doesn't allow for that. The thing worked okay for a couple of weeks although I never was able to do my whole mouth without having to refill the tiny reservoir. After that it started to labor, then stop until you shake it or tap it back to life. That went on for a week. Then one day it just died out, pulsing maybe once every 4 or 5 seconds. It sounded like it was out of power so I plugged it in and charged it again but to no avail. I did get it to work once more for about 10 seconds by tapping it firmly against my hand, and that was the last of it. If you do want to buy this thing, buy it locally so you can return it for a refund easilly.


2 out of 5 stars Disappointing Quality   October 5, 2008
M. Corrigan
Like the other reviewers, I was initially impressed with this. I too remember the bulky, sink top unit I used in the 70's. After oral surgery recently, I asked the dentist how to prevent the ocurrance, and he recommended a Waterpik. I travel a lot, so I bought the portable. After just about six months of use, my unit died last night. It sounds like the impeller (part of the pump) sheared a pin, so all I get is a high pitched whine from it... These are my observations:

Battery life is not great, but acceptable. I noticed a perceptible decrease in performance after 4 or 5 days of using the unit without recharging. It's a pain to have to travel with the adapter so you can recharge this thing in the hotel all the time.

Water volume and pressure were very good, so no complaints there. It really does clean the gum line and other areas very well, so doing this cleaning ritual is very important to oral health. It is very important to read the instructions on the proper use of this thing, or you'll do more harm than good.

Reservoir size is small, but that is the price to pay for a travel sized unit. Waterpik does include a two (2) year warranty, but you must have the original receipt for warranty service. After reading other reviews, I'll be purchasing the Panasonic portable.




4 out of 5 stars If Waterpiks can be fun. . .   October 1, 2008
C. Knoll
I know this is a topic that will have everyone holding their breath but, honestly, for the price, this is a great little portable Waterpik. This one is the 3rd of its type for me and I have used it for on and off over 7 or 8 years. I bought it because my dentist insisted I start using a Waterpik. I use a larger one at my home but when I began traveling on my job I needed a portable one. Then I began pet sitting and used it when I was staying at someone else's home. Now I am serving in the Peace Corps in Ukraine. In all instances, it has been very handy. And my dentist is happy and my teeth are cleaner. What more can I ask!!


3 out of 5 stars Good tool -- easier than flossing   September 19, 2008
EMTP EJ (Washington, DC USA)
1. It is portable, so I can take it into the washroom at work and clean my teeth, but easy to keep secure in my locker.
2. It works very well getting stuff out from between my teeth.
3. I have to fill it up at least twice, each time I use it.
4. I have to use warm water, otherwise it makes my teeth hurt.
The charger was a little iffy to start with, but I was able to figure out how to get the plug in the socket just right so it will charge properly. It would be nice to be able to tell if it is charging, like so many other cordless devices, by having an LED indicator.



1 out of 5 stars Waterpik Cordless Model WP-360W   August 28, 2008
Retired and loving it (Connecticut)
Bought this item Christmas of 2007. The water pik worked well until August 2008 when the battery would no longer hold a charge. The connector for the battery charger easily corrodes. The water tank is a little small have to refill tank. Item made in China.
Would not recommend this unit due to its very short battery life.
