I have been using this product for a couple of weeks and am very satisfied with it. The pressure that it produces is more than enough to clean my teeth. The water resevoir is a little small, but I just use a glass to fill it adding some mouthwash and then have a second glassful of water that I pour in when the unit empties the first time. If you have trouble getting the water started, just suck on the tip of the irrigator head and the flow will begin.

If you go to my review of WaterPik's oral irrigator, you'll see I'm quite critical of their product, although I own one and use it regularly. In fact, Interplak has improved upon quite a number if issues I took with WaterPik. However, Interplak's irrigator simply doesn't measure up.

Although I very much like their tub being able to be removed with water still in it without spilling, it's simply too small. Having to add water half way through is a pain in the keister. Also, it's much quieter than WaterPik, but the reason for that is it's motor is much less powerfull.

In my mind there's only one decisive factor for choosing this irrigator over WaterPik -- cost. It's half the price.

Now, if Conair ever puts out either an improved version of this one, or if they release a Professional version, I myself will burn my WaterPik in my yard and make the conversion happily!

Out of the box, this piece of equipment should have worked perfectly. A strong sream of water should have been jetting from the hand-held spout but alas, the stream of water reminded me of one of the stone cherib statues peeing water into a fountain basin.

I thought that maybe I got a lemon, but after reading other comments regarding this piece of junk, the odds are I didn't. I will be returning it to where I purchased it for a full refund, unless, between now and then, my opinion on this product can be altered.

What a waste of time and money for me as a consumer, the store from which I bought it, and finally the manufacturer. Did they think that letting this mistake of a product was going to be accepted by the public as a vaiable dental aid? What are some of these corporate decision makers thinking? Why? If the answer is money, then that doesn't even make sense. Because everyone loses money on this kind of product offering.
