I love my Waterpik, and have never had healthier gums since I started using it. And it works great for keeping my braces clean! But when we travel, it is a little awkward to try to take it with us.
I bought a portable Waterpik while on our recent vacation, but was not very happy with it. So I returned it. It had gotten mediocre or even poor reviews on Amazon. But one review mention a Panasonic model that the guy liked better.
So today I ordered a Panasonic EW1270AC Portable Oral Irrigator. I am hoping it works better than the portable Waterpik. I looks like the pump part can be store inside the reservoir. It also uses regular batteries and I think an AC adaptor. It looks smaller than the portable Waterpik (WP360).
I will post a review after I get a chance to try it.

My wife has braces and I recently purchased the
Panasonic EW1270AC Portable Oral Irrigator for her.
She loves it and uses it both at home and at work.
With braces it seems like everything gets stuck in them so she uses the Panasonic product to keep the clean.
