My dentist recommended the purchase of a water pick. So I decided to buy it without really being convinced. But the first test was very conclusive: as stated in the above mentioned famous dentist, even after a good brushing, this apparatus still finds things to be cleaned; not the least space escapes and replaces very advantageously floss and toothpicks, but less easily wins in her purse;) It comes with 4 heads and a removable ring for each color (handy for families). The water supply is sufficient for proper cleaning and emptied after each use to prevent the deposit of limestone and bacteria growth (insertion and replacement very easy). We can add a mouthwash dose for an even more complete action once or twice a week. The adjustable jet from 1 to 5 provides a very soft but muscular contact with the teeth and gums (the 1 is quite sufficient). The neck cord / corkscrew-shaped device ranks alone in the camera body when the handle rests. Small switch on the handle to avoid (to) put water everywhere. Maintenance very easy. Hint: use of slightly warm water, the contact is only more pleasant. I am delighted that this device offers a perfect dental hygiene and user comfort. PS: I have for over a year and have not had the pipe problem that elite is mentioned in a previous comment
