Health & Personal Care : Waterpik Ultra Dental Water Jet

Rating: - Waterpik Ultra
I was interested in this product for its deep pocket cleaning abilities. After reading other reviews before purchasing, I would say that they are pretty accurate. The jet is VERY strong (especially at the 10 setting) but the water reservoir does deplete quicker than comfortable. However, this is not that big of a deal in my opinion as since I don't have much counter space, refilling only on "extra-cleaning" days is more preferred to me than a unit with a reservoir twice or even three times the size.

As for the leaking rubber grommet, it is also true. It is due to the fact that the water level is higher in the wand than at the grommet so that when you put it away the residual water eventually settles down and leaks out at the grommet. However, I want to note that the water doesn't spill out and over onto the counter. This is because the grommet is inside the basin area that you insert the water reservoir into and is sort of designed to catch drips. I have found that if I simply hold the wand down into the sink area for a few seconds after I'm finished and while I am dumping the unused water out of the reservoir, excess water will leak out of the cleaning tip so that when I replace the wand back onto the unit, no more water leaks out of the grommet. Yes, this is an extra maintenance step, but really no big deal. After all, I am already spending lots more effort cleaning my teeth.

My bottom line is that this unit does what I need it to do most which is to produce a strong jet of water. The fact that the water hose retracts so nicely, this thing seems like it will last a while, and that the unit looks quite stylish overall to me is well worth the $50.

Rating: - Waterpik exceptional for braces
I bought this product specifically because I have braces on my teeth. It is great. I do not know how anyone can properly clean teeth with braces without this product. I bought the pik with the brace attachment. It is not necessary. The regular tip works great. My gums feel so healthy and my teeth and braces are so clean. After my braces are removed I will still use this product.

Rating: - The best I have had so far!
I have had a few types of dental water jets and I have to say that this(Waterpik Ultra Dental Jet) seems to be the best yet. It works well, has a nice case for the attachments and the price was right as well. (I did get an extra $10.00 off).

Rating: - Waterpik Ok
I came back from the dentist with news that I needed to be flossing more. Since I don't find flossing to my liking I asked if I could use a waterpik and the hygienist gave me the OK. I purchased it and to my surprise it arrived within the week. I have begun to use it and I'm pleased with its ease of use.
