Before my purchase, I have read with interest the recent reviews. The rather negative reviews I've wiped aside, because I thought that, in a brand medication manufactured by Braun not be true.
Unfortunately, however, the shortcomings mentioned here already in the clearest have confirmed:
Workmanship
About the feeling to keep a cheap plastic production in hand, one can argue, but do not have design flaws. The water nozzles each have a different colored ring for different users. However, this ring does not lock properly, so that every time the nozzle cap of color ring has to be held. In order to place the nozzle then into the holder, threatens this ring fall off every time. But without the ring, the nozzle does not lock properly and the unit is leaking.
Waterjet
The personal feeling is certainly different here. For me, the beam, even in concentrated form and at the highest level, only a meager trickle. It is sufficient to rinse the mouth. But who wants to remove light leftovers from between the teeth, which is horrified.
By comparison, the competitor Waterpik 100 E is the beam me with strength 8 appropriately to the scale of 0-10. It is all.
While this device is expensive. But it makes a clear impression wertigeren (This engagement and disengagement of the nozzle, the functionality of the switch).
For this purpose it fulfilled but especially his cleaning task. That's worth the price difference.
