Waterpik Classic Countertop Water Flosser WP-60, White

Recently had to replace our previous Waterpik cleaning system after the output fitting on the pump cracked and started leaking. It was a great product for 5 or 6 years. We searched for the exact replacement since we were so happy with the original. We ordered it and received it quicker than originally promised. When I unpacked it I noticed the pump assembly had been improved from our previous pik. It looks like we can expect just as long if not longer service from the new one.

I bought my first Waterpik 32 years ago, and it stills works as new. Unfortunatelly the water tips were no longer produced and it rendered useless the whole sprayer. I bought a new model, the WP-60, and as expected, it works flawlessly with its new designed water tips. I cannot see what advantage they offer and that would be the only drawback I can find with this machine, because every time the water tips are discontinued the whole machine is rendered useless. Somehow it is disposable in the long term. About the operation, it is simple and intuitive, the water pressure has seven strength gradations, sufficing the first one for a deep and throughly cleaning. Before going back to Waterpik I tried a chinese model which became disposable even faster, it worked about a year and never delivered the proper pressure. I think Waterpik has a market niche in which is the best and only option. My only drawback is the discontinuing of the tips, every time the company decides to do so, the whole machine is useless.

I bought my Waterpik about 2 months at the recommendation of my son, his wife, & their 7 year old daughter who loves to use it. It is so much easier than flossing & using an inter-tooth mini brush. My teeth feel so smooth-like I just had a cleaning at the dentist office. Love it.

I have gone thru four examples from a major competitor because they were a few bucks cheaper. They would last almost two years and then get too weak for effectiveness or just quit. Decided to spring for this Classic Waterpik and was very impressed. It's a more generous size and not as toylike. The lowest power is more than the pretender on high. You don't have to go thru a convoluted priming process if you run it dry. It's a little awkward to use. It takes thumb and forefinger to turn it on and the button to stop the water flow is awkward. I just put it in my mouth before I turn it on. I'm very happy with it.

The tongue cleaner was missing, instead received two flosses. Otherwise, very satisfied with product and quality.
