A few years I had a Braun Oral irrigator. When this was broken by about 5 years ago I bought a new one from Brown, but with the end of the warranty period "in time?" broke. Also the water pressure of Brown was no longer comparable with the original which is no longer manufactured. For price reasons I bought a Panasonic irrigator with which I was not satisfied, however. Far too clunky and heavy, but also the water jet was not as I expect from a good irrigator. I hoped I would get used to it, but that was not the case. Now I bought a few weeks ago, the Waterpik and did so - finally an oral irrigator that works just as you would imagine: Adjustable pressure, comfortable handling and as adding a lot of meaningful intent parts. Too bad about the money I spent previously for other devices. Now I hope that the Waterpik works long and their service are as good as doing it makes it since my purchase some time ago.
