More Effective Than Flossing -- Without the Discomfort
Most dental professionals recommend brushing and flossing to keep your teeth and gums their healthiest. Unfortunately, a large number of Americans -- nearly 80-percent -- don't floss on a regular basis, and most studies have shown that most people find flossing to be a painful or unpleasant chore. Waterpik has created an effective alternative to flossing that feels great and is simple to use.Pulsating Streams for Healthier Teeth and Gums
The Waterpik Ultra Cordless Dental Water Jet goes beyond flossing to keep your teeth and gums healthy and clean. Waterpik has designed the WP-450 to deliver precisely controlled pulsating streams of water pressure to remove debris and bacteria lodged deep between teeth and below the gumline. In fact, it has been shown that the WP-450 can clean three times deeper than brushing alone. In addition, it massages and stimulates the gums to improve circulation. The WP-450 helps promote strong and health gums, leaving you with a clean, fresh mouth sensation. According to Waterpik, there are over 50 published clinical studies that show the Waterpik Dental Water Jet provides significant oral health benefits for anyone who desires healthier teeth and gums. These studies also show that the WP-450 is especially effective for those who have braces, implants, crowns, bridges, and other dental work. For these reasons, Waterpik is one of the most recommended brands by dental professionals. Design Features and Cleaning Accessories
Oral health benefits aside, the Waterpik WP-450 is also a complete device that is loaded with lots of great features. It includes four color-coded tips: - Jet Tip: Provides cleaning deep between teeth and below the gumline.
- Orthodontic Tip: Excellent for cleaning around braces.
- Pik-Pocket Tip: Delivers extra gentle deep cleaning below the gumline.
- Tongue Cleaner: Removes bacteria that causes bad breath.
The WP-450 also features an advanced ergonomic handle that is smaller than previous models and easier to hold. Refilling the reservoir is simple and can be completed in a snap, and since this dental water jet is rechargeable, you'll never need to buy new batteries.What's in the Box
Waterpik WP-450 Ultra Cordless Dental Water Jet, reservoir, and four color-coded tips (Jet Tip; Orthodontic Tip; Pik-Pocket Tip; and Tongue Cleaner).

| | ULTRA BAD! I should have read the reviews BEFORE buying (non-Amazon purchase). The idea is great but it doesn't come close to meeting expectations. Overall, poorly designed and engineered. Don't engineers or sales people EVER use their own products? Mine lasted maybe 3 months, getting worse each month, until the battery AND motor/pump were both shot. ~$50 gone and ended up in the trash (oops, I meant green "save the earth" recycle bin).
1. Tip is impossible to control and spins around freely, spraying water everywhere but where you intended.
2. Plastic housing and controls are slippery when wet. Only 2 water pressure speeds and high is not powerful enough after using for 1-2 weeks.
3. Reservoir is difficult to fill completely because air has to be displaced at the same time and through the same hole used to add water.
4. Reservoir is not large enough, so you have to fill it 2-3 times per use.
5. It's very loud and noisy. Could be banned after-hours in some communities. Takes too long to re-charge.
6. Replacement tips are very brittle, so they break easily, are non-standard, and impossible to find in a store.
7. The water re-fill plug becomes almost impossible to open, and then begins to leak from a bad seal.
8. The 2 happiest moments for me with this product were 1) the day I bought it, and 2) the day I trashed it.
| | Great concept. Flawed execution! | |
| | My Dentist sold me on the product and the concept. I've been using it everyday ever since. I can honestly say the nylon string dental floss never inspired me. I always had a challenging time flossing the back teeth with them and as a result I never flossed regularly. With the cordless Waterpik I had no problem and enjoyed using it everyday to the amazement of my wife. For me it was certainly a significant improvement over the nylon floss, although relatively an expensive solution.
But (there is always one) the product is marred in terms of its expected lifespan and what I consider a flawed design which was a major annoyance to me.
Lifespan:
When it was new, I had to charge the battery once a week. Over time, the frequency of the battery recharging between uses increased and after six months it stopped working.
Flawed Design:
The product has no battery charge indicator. As a result:
1) Its impossible to tell how much charge is left in the battery
2) When its being charged you don't know if it has completed charging.
3) Or, if it is even charging - we have GFI outlets in our bathroom. Frequently my wife's hair dryer, after usage, trips the GFI circuit and as a result no power is supplied to all the circuits unless it is reset. Therefore even though the Waterpik is plugged in, you don't know if it getting charged until you go to use it or have to plug some other electrical product with an indicator to know power is being supplied.
The only other cordless oral hygiene product I can compare it to in terms of its lifespan and design is the Phillips sonic toothbrush, My original toothbrush lasted 5+ years before dying and had indicator to inform you the level of charge left and/or amount of the battery charged during recharging. I'm not sure how long I expected this product to last, but at the minimum at least two years, as this is the time of their limited warranty. I would have given the product one star, but the ease with which the Customer Service responded and agreed to send me a replacement (without having to send the broken product back) earns them additional two stars as I usually do not experience or expect this level of quality service in this day and age.
We will see how long the replacement product lasts. The other interesting thing the Customer service person mentioned, which sounds counter intuitive to me, is that I need to keep the Waterpik plugged in all the time expect when it is in use. I thought keeping a rechargeable battery plugged in all the time would reduce its lifespan. The experts will have to chime in.
| | | Since my sister had experienced far less gum inflammation using a water pik, I purchased one. I find it much more pleasant to use than dental floss, but since I just got it, will have to wait until next visit to the dentist to see how it's working. However, I enjoy using it, which it motivating.
| | | Good item. Works as expected. Note, it is cordless but too bulky to be ultra portable.
| | | Probably I have never had a product with a weak battery.
You can recharge 24 hours or more, and then you with luck if you can use 3 times.
