When used so far in using Braun - irrigator of PVC was - hose, as described often, become brittle. The resulting question was: buying a new Braun oral irrigator or another package. From the many comments on the subject irrigator water pressure was also repeatedly been addressed and here I wish if possible to improve the previously used Brown - Make. As a recommendation of clients - opinions here showed the make of Waterpik. After purchasing and receiving, may I speak of a good, elegant and powerful product, and thus 5 Stars.
