How is this different than a waterpik? Hi, Anybody know if this is at all different from a lower cost waterpik with the nasal attachment?

I have had 2 Hydro Pulse units over the past 2 years or so, and both of them have gone belly up. They last for a year or a little more with daily use. Not built to last! Expensive too! Its a rip off they do not build these units to last. When you pay $90+ for a unit it ought to hold up.

I've been using it for a while now and I do think it works well. They recommend just water but every once in a while you can put mouthwash in it and it does a little better job of getting things clean. It is much easier than brushing your mouthguard or dentures everyday. Just place them in the container, fill with water or mouthwash and push the button. It runs for about five minutes. Remove container, rinse and you're done. I would definitely buy another if this one would break. Good luck.

The generic term is "oral irrigator." "Waterpik" is a brand. This oral irrigator is "ToiletTree" brand. We have two in our home and we love them. I like ToiletTree BETTER than Waterpik because you can change the settings so that the stream of water is more gentle or pulses. Good luck with the impacted wisdom tooth, those are painful. See a dentist ASAP and stick with ToiletTree. (It's a weird name but it is the better product.)

It would do about the same, but there are 2 advantages: 1/it is not as messy as a waterpik (no water splashing everywhere), tho you still might hold a washcloth over your mouth to prevent slight splashing. 2/since the water shoots at higher pressure than a waterpik, it works great to keep it clean around crowns, implants, veneers, etc. A 3rd advantage might be that you can fill it with an anti-cavity solution, which can get it in hard to reach places. Don't know if your waterpik has a cord, but this is cordless (rechargeable battery).

not sure, I would contact Waterpik. It definitely works best in the shower with my head tilted.

It does not replace a toothbrush, it is like flossing with water. I floss and use the irrigator regulary, it has made a difference in my dental exams. I feel like like the irrigator works better than just flossing.

Squeeze bottle could give you a stronger stream depending on how hard you squeeze. Whereas the sinugator seems to be the right amount of pressure to reach the upper sinus. I work in a very dirty environment and this has helped immensely. I have used mine everyday for 3 months. I simply rinse the unit and parts under the faucet.

Go to Waterpik.com and give them all the info. They have amazing customer service.

Yes, mine is brand new, and I can't deal with the rattling racket, so I'm considering returning it and going back to the good-old floss. Besides, the waterpik use left food particles between my teeth, which the after-flossing captured.

This device does not use water. The easily replaceable rubber tip spins between to teeth to remove plaque and other debris. Much easier to use than the other Waterpik and a lot less messy.

I don't know, but I would call the Waterpik company, which I believe is in Connecticut. Their customer service dept. will definitely help. I have done that in the past for other reasons.

The pressure is great. I had Waterpik Waterflosser Cordless Rechargeable WP-360W by Waterpik before and I find this to be the better of the two. Thanks.

based on waterpik instructions I would say no. By using a separate tip for you and one for your husband should allow for you both to use the same unit

I am not familiar with the models above. But, I have found that they have made this waterpik so that their own products can be used with any of the models. I think the mechanism where the pics plug in is most likely standard among the products. Look up the cs number and call them. AK

If you take the rubber part off of this wand and stick it over one of your regular waterpik 900 wands it works as a nasal irrigator. I've done this very thing and it works well.

Easy to attach. Unscrew the shower head, screw on the assembled plastic attachment, screw the shower head back on. The shower head will now be about 2 inches lower. H2Oral Irrigator is my second choice for dental flosses. Please check out the ShowerFloss which has more power than the H2Oral Irrigator. Both are good products, ShowerFloss is the best. ShowerFloss
