When I travel, I end up missing my Waterpik! I love my Waterpik for cleaning all the stuff out of my braces. The full blown Waterpik is just too big to pack in my luggage. I had been looking at the cordless version of the Waterpik as a possibility for taking on vacation.
Well, I finally broke down and bought a cordless Waterpik (WaterPik WP-360W Hand-held Cordless Rechargeable Dental Water Jet). I currently have it charging for the first time (it needs to charge for 16 hours). So I should be able to try it tomorrow afternoon.
Some of the reviews have complained that the ni-cad batteries have a short life. They last shorter and shorter times after each recharging. But since I will not be using this for daily use, and only for travel, it may last a long time before I notice this problem. Another complaint is that the resevoir is too small. Again, this is for travel, so if I need to fill it up twice to finish the job, I am okay with that.
I will try it and see how it works. I read on review that referred to a Panasonic unit (Panasonic EW1270AC Portable Oral Irrigator) that is similar. I may try that if the cordless Waterpik doesn’t work for me.
Please if you have any free brochures for patients on cordless water picks we have 3 hygienist here and recommend alot the waterpik thank you very much if you could send some free. lifetime dental
