 Works Great, but with some inconveniences November 15, 2008
I bought this shortly after I got braces. I chose this model because I don't have the counter space in my bathroom for the big tank and it was a reasonable price. I only use it once a day and worked great. I did notice that I had to fill up the tank 2 times sometimes 3 to get through one cleaning. I am ok with that, its not that annoying. However, after about 4 months of use it completely died and wouldn't charge. Since this model has a 2-year warrenty I contacted Waterpik and they sent me a brand new unit with in a week. They suggessted that you remove the pressure tip after each use because water that is left inside it can seeps back down inside and in the battery housing (it doesn't tell you that in the directions). I have done that since I got the new one and have had no issues. I don't have to charge it very often. I was very please with Waterpik for quickly taking care of the situation. I think others who are complaing about the battery losing charge and buying a new one should have taken advantage of the warranty information. Overall, I do notice a difference with the use of this water jet, it helps a lot with braces. Even though I did have charging problems too, I was very pleased with the quick response from Waterpik. I would recommend this to any one who doesn't want to spend a lot or doesn't have room for a large tank model.
Good for travel; poor for everyday November 7, 2008
The design accomplishes two things:
1. It takes up less space and weight in a suitcase than other designs.
2. It is a poor choice for everyday use because there is no way to air-dry or to clean out the reservoir between uses. That, inevitably, makes it a nice breeding place for molds and other scuzzy things.
 Excellent for Travel November 6, 2008
This is excellent for travel and takes the fuss and worry out of healthy teeth and gums while on the road.
 not up to waterpik standards October 24, 2008
i agree with other negative reviews...is just too cumbersome and not enough power to do the job..feels like you are putting something the size of a flashlight in your mouth..
Didn't Even Last A Month October 6, 2008
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.
UPDATE 11/12/08: Yeah, I tried it again, still no good. The problem definitely insn't a battery issue. When there's no water in the reservoir it runs just fine, full speed ahead and no signs of slowing after two minutes, but the second you put water in the thing, it goes back to limping along at about a pulse a second. Let the water out and it's back up to full speed ahead. Sounds like a bad motor or pump to me. Hey what's the difference it's still junk. Buyer beware!
