Portable Oral Irrigator - portable oral irrigator, panasonic

Click here for more information This is an item I can't live without. Even after flossing I'll get additional food out of my gums and in many cases this is the only device that can remove painful food jammed underneath my gums. The whole thing collapes for traveling, is the only unit I know of that has replaceable batteries,and with new batteries has a very powerful spray. It is also very easy to refill and I liked that the engineers designed the cap to snap on and off instead of breaking off. I bought one and liked it so much I'm buying one as a gift for other people.

This is the newer version and I found it to be better than the older version (Panasonic EW1270AC Portable Oral Irrigator). It has 2 instead of 1 speed setting and the tip has a better design. Happy with it. :)

I have used this product for a little over a month now and so far I have been completely satisfied with it. It's easy to use and has ample power to get rid of food particles that cannot be removed with a toothbrush. It is also good for flushing out food particles that get caught in gum pockets.



I mix my own concoction of warm water and mouth wash even though the instructions say to use just water. My mouth feels totally refreshed and that's what I am looking for in an oral irrigator. I have always owned a Waterpik which is also a good product however I like the fact that this product uses plain batteries which eliminates the need for a charging adapter and it also collapses for easy storage. I am glad that I made the decision to give this product a try.

I bought this intending to use rechargeable AAs with it, but the instruction booklet says not to because of possible corrosion. This was a disappointment for me and I may try rechargeables anyway.



It seems to work pretty well and low speed is a nice option for dispensing ACT or other mouthwash to the gum line and between teeth (working quickly-note the instructions suggest only water and always emptying the unit after use). The on/off switch is extremely stiff though. On high speed it is much less powerful than a standard waterpick but still effective.

wow, with 2 AA batteries, the oral irrigator pumped out apretty strong jet of water and that was at the lower of the two speeds! I heard that this was better than flossing and I tried it and it sure could push out all the little bits of whatever between the teeth! I was surprised how much stuff! However, learn to keep your finger near the switch button since the water will squirt all over you once you move the mouth piece away from your mouth! The base is quite large -not appropriate for kids



I sometimes mix the water with listerine to do two jobs in one! I am really happy with it and so will my dentist!

I've been using a Braun-Oral B stationary water pick since 1999 and I'm totally satisfied with it. Unfortunately it was recently broken down after so many years of service. I wanted to buy it again, but the model was discontinued, perhaps because it was so durable and they couldn't make a good sale out of it. After reading many reviews, I decided to buy this Panasonic portable water pick, keeping in mind that it has a disadvantage of being 'bulky', especially for my kids. I don't mind this, because I've already ordered a WaterPick WP100 for them, as they are now a bit more grown up and stay on a different floor in our house.



The product arrived on time in a thorough packaging, though I believe the high quality of its plastic would not require such a thoroughness. Being prepared to see a bulky thing, I was not very surprised with its modest size when it was in the package. It was just 6.5 inches high. However, I admit that when I expanded it for use, I said "wow". It became ~1.5 times higher, which is 8.5 inches. I'm now sure that my 8-year-old son wouldn't love holding it in his hand. However, it should be OK for my daughter, who is only 6.3 feet height, because it is just right with me, who is not too much higher (I'm an Asian guy of medium size).



What I'm surprised most with this product is that its pulsated stream of water was just of the right size and power, the same like of the Braun-Oral B I used before. The only difference is that with Braun-Oral B I had the ability to adjust the power step-less. However, I always had to watch the dial to stay at the right low and high points that I later found other family members of mine also use. With Panasonic, the water is just right for normal cleaning when I turn it on, at the first speed. At the second speed, it is also just right for clearing of more 'stubborn' debris. I can imagine how much research had the Panasonic engineers done to find out this point. Still, this is not everything. I must say that every detail of this product shows its quality and rationality. The pick is turnable so that you can adjust it at your right angle, but it sits tight enough to not rotate spontaneously. The hose inside the tank made the unit usable at any angle. The power switch and battery lid are very well water-proof. The lid of the tank is also very good. Once I rush to meetings and just throw the unit in my drawer without discharging redundant water. In the car, I realized that there were some important paper together with it, and I rushed back just to find out that nothing happened. There was no water leaking.



All in one, this portable water pick is paying off for its value of money. I would recommend it not only for travel, but also for use at home. It can even replace the stationary version, because thanks to the right size of its tank, you don't have to refill it many times during one use. - Portable Oral Irrigator - Panasonic - Dental Hygiene - Waterpik

People either sing the praises of the "Water Jet," or wish to relegate it to the dung heap of poorly designed consumables. Who's right? While there's no one answer to that, here are some things you might want to consider:



Pros:



1. Portability. The unit is rechargeable, and doesn't use a cord, thus increasing its portability and ease of use. It's also much smaller and more discreet than the traditional water piks that work with a reservoir.



2. Professional recommendations. Dentists and dental hygienists recommend it, and it apparently does improve oral hygiene. It removes things that brushing often leaves behind.



3. Two types of heads. Here, two heads are better than one. Water pik varies the diameter of the flow-thru attachment to achieve either gentle or not-as-gentle pressure.



4. Price. Definitely a good deal, especially on sale, and compared to similar products.





Cons:

1. The MOST frequent complaint here is that the unit eventaully won;t recharge, and that happened to me as well. However, this was not after 3 weeks or 3 months, but after about a year of use. That's annoying, but what's even more annoying is that the "water jet" doesn't HOLD a charge for very long. After just a few uses, you'll need to plug it in again.



ANother frequent complaint is that the internal reservoir is so small you have to fill it several times to clean your entire mouth. Again, this was my experience, but (again), it was not as bad as what some people have written. If I hurried, I could do it in one filling, but for a fairly thorough job, it does take two. Not terrible, as long as it keeps working (see paragraph above).



2. Professional recommendation. When this first came out, it had great appeal as a portable and easy-to-store device that cleaned--floss-like--in difficult areas around the gums. However, it's now apparent there are some longterm problems, especially with the batteries. Now, competition looms in the form of a similar (non-rechargeable) unit from Panasonic. If costs more, but if it produces similar results without the problems, I'm pretty sure dentists will recommend it as well (or instead).



3. Two heads. NOt a bad idea, although many people will find that they use only the higher pressure nozzle. However, if your gums are sensitive, you may want to work your way up from lower to higher. Basically, a good idea, especially since the price is so low.



4. Price. On sale for about $20, this is potentially a very cost efficient way to reduce your dental bills. However, one must balance that against the many reviewers who have registered complaints about the batteries, etc. The Panasonice is about 50% more expensive, and has the same small reservoir problem. However, if it proves more reliable, this will be the one to get. And that's my recommendation: Look at the competition (the Panasonic), and see what kind of reviews it gets. ALso, consider whether it would really be so bad (and, practically speaking, if you have the room) to have the traditional style water jet (whatever the brand) which plugs into the wall and has an external reservoir.

A cordless gadget you can use in the shower is a great idea. But the battery in this thing is really poor. I've gone through two of these now, and I'll have to buy something different. The first one was great at first, then worked for shorter and shorter periods after recharging. (Yes, I ran the battery all the way down before recharging to avoid the Nicad memory effect.) The central post in the socket where you plug in the charger corroded away after a month and a half. Bought a second one, and was careful to keep the socket dry. But it still works for shorter and shorter periods. Now it won't even last for one session after charging overnight. Buying a 3rd would be too dumb even for someone as stubborn as me.

For me this was exactly what I was looking for. Dentist says I need to use a waterpik, and I hated having the bulky unit with the water well on my countertop. This is a little bigger than my rechargable toothbrush. Definitely enough power, and enough water to do the job. I can do my entire mouth on one fill-up of water. I have had it for over two weeks now, and only recharged once.

This is the 3rd time I have bought the handheld cordless WaterPik. I love it when it works. It really helps, my periodontist has really noticed a difference. The 1st one lasted about 6 months or so, the 2nd about 3 months, and this last one I bought July 6th and here it is Sept 12, and it's ready for the trash bin. Works great when you first get it, but after the first charge wears down, it just gets weaker and weaker until it dies completely. I have followed the charging instructions to the tee, and it still died.... I really need this product, but it looks like I will have to try something else. - Oral Hygiene - Oral Irrigator - Water Pik - Dental Hygiene
