Summary: 7+ Years, still going strong
Comment: I've had this model for over 7 years and noticed the poor reviews so here's my quickie - still runs strong, doesn't leak, but I'm upgrading to the Ultra.
If you're in the market for a WP you might as well go with that since the price is so close. I lost my extra tips years ago & the storage inside the lid on the ultra seems like it'll be a nice feature.
The only cons IMO are the lack of a lid over the reservoir which needs periodic cleaning. The 32 oz+ capacity will likely be missed, but I usually only fill this model halfway anyway so it might not be an issue.
I'm not junking this one - it'll go in a dark corner shelf in case it's services are required in the future. I also ordered the panasonic portable model for the car & travel (runs on AAs) - I hate stuff stuck between my teeth.

Summary: Wish I'd had one years ago
Comment: I bought this to replace a similar system made by a different mfr, after that one developed an irreparable leak following many years of use.
There is no doubt the WaterPik is far more effective than its predecessor. I began using it at mid-power, because I have been a dental water jet user for years and had used my other one at just a bit above mid-power. The WaterPik cleans thoroughly, as the WaterPik Website video illustrates. It removes irritants below the gum line. I can vouch for this because (to my surprise) I had some minor bleeding of the gums during the first few days of use.
Not that such bleeding is a good thing, but its importance will be clear in a moment. Please note that I don't have any peridontal disease or gum recission. Just a little inexplicable bleeding that comes with any vigorous dental cleaning. I get good numbers on the gum measurements at each exam, so this issue has just been a "keep an eye on it" thing for a long time. But the WaterPik appears to have solved it.
After regular use of the WaterPik for a few weeks, I experimented by trying a few passes at nearly full power. No bleeding. At full power, the WaterPik is quite vigorous, and I'd guess that anyone with any gum issues would not be able to tolerate it. Mid-power works just fine for me, so that's what I use. I tried the higher setting as a test and can't reproduce the bleeding gum problem that the WaterPik appears to have cured in a few weeks of regular use.
So apparently, my previous personal dental hygiene--which included brushing, flossing, and irrigating six times per day (once after each meal)--wasn't sufficient to keep my gumline free of irritants and to properly stimulate my gums. Dentists have recommended digitally (finger) rubbing my gums as a remedy, but I've never been able to stick with it--too easy to invoke the gag reflex. The WaterPik, however, has proven to be a solution I can stick with.
Because this cleans so well, I now floss only twice a day (meaning I buy 2/3 less dental floss) and yet still have clean teeth and gums.
During my semi-annual dental cleaning and exams, I sometimes had the same minor gum bleeding that I experienced upon first use of the WaterPik. The reason for this has always been a mystery, until now. It was a mystery because I did everything right--brush, floss, irrigate. What I didn't know was there is a huge difference in irrigators (dental water jets). From now on, it's the WaterPik brand for me. I will accept no substitutes.

Summary: Waterpik
Comment: The unit accomplished its purpose of cleaning between teeth.
The problem was that it kept tripping the GFI outlet in my bath.
Probably a random mfg problem. I do not know if this is a typical problem for these units.
I know the outlet is good since I can ( and DO ) regularly plug in a vacuum sweeper that draws around 10 Amps.

Summary: Water pik WP- 60W failures
Comment: I bought a WP-60W less than one year ago and the pump has already failed. It never did work well. It pumped intermittently with very low pressure or not at all. It is a cheesy contraption at best in my opinion. Previously I had a WP-32W. It had 2 Pik Pocket Jet Tips 2 reservoirs Lg. & Sm. and it lasted 10 years. Teledyne has stopped making this one. Go figure !!
I am looking for an alternative obviously.
