How long will your/flosser last until it breaks or wear out? I have the panasonic portable and it still works over a year later. Will this one last

I ordered this "flosser" to replace my prior one that I had for about 10 years or better. I hope to get the same good service from this one. I normally floss 3 or 4 times a week..

It appears to be very durable. It should last several years if taken care of properly - no dropping of parts and keep the parts clean.

Of all of the models and we have had since the first came out in the 70's this is the most stable and it should last w/ care and wiping out reservoir after use long ger than the 2 year warranty which comes with this model. The vertical flosser with a limited tank size and minimal pressure is NOT RECOMMENDED by us. Dr. Harold Z.

I have had my Water Pic for over a year. I do run white vinegar in it about every three months as we have a lot of lime in our water. Just like a coffee pot lime can build up in the lines.

That depends on each individual family. More than one can use this, by just changing tips. Also how it's taken care of, it will last a long time

The one I had before lasted over 5 years. I did have to replace the tube as it broke where it connects to the housing. I just ordered a replacement and with a bit of effort was able to fix it myself. And I am not mechanically.

I'm on my third one and have plenty of brushes, one lasted one month and another lasted one year, anyway, water is the issue so if you can avoid rinsing it will probably last longer.

My showerpik also stopped working. I have yet to contact waterpik to ask for assistance, but plan to do so and will share their response. My thought is that they will not replace but am only surmising.

I took my toothbrush on a four day trip across the country and it lasted. My old toothbrush would last more than two weeks, so I'm assuming that this one will be the same. I usually bring my charger anyway, well not for the 4 day trip.

They do warrant the product. That be said, they replaced mine 3 times for internal leaking causing corrosion inside( I took it apart) and the handle not holding the nozzle securely. I believe my warranty was for 2 years. My third one is starting to blow out the nozzle. Will I replace it? Yes, it is just too handy to use and I will use it with mouthwash as opposed to manual flossing.

I'm still really happy with it. My only disappointment with my first one was that it only lasted about 15 months. I've had this one since mid-December 2013 and (knock on wood) it's going strong. I used it for a total of about 90 minutes this weekend.

I use it daily for cleaning along with Oral-B floss. It cleans your teeth well and gives them a freshly polished (just from the dentist) feeling that handheld toothbrushes cannot.

So far I love it for traveling. I have been using this one for a year now and no problems. I know that the life of this large Waterpik lasts a long time for me and I use it everyday. This travel one gets used every day while I travel and I have been gone from home for almost 6 months now. Hope this helps some.

My first one lasted well over one year before it started to fall apart. Probably close to 2 years, but I am pretty gentle using my devices. I agree the low price is worth the length of time it lasted.

hope it lasts longer than the warranty, and don't buy replacement heads in bulk. Mine lasted under a year before it died. Great toothbrush before that.

Just bought it for my daughter for Christmas. I do not know yet when they have to be replaced. I assume 3-6 months like any other toothbrush.

Depends on use. I do not use mine except for occasional grinding with stress. It is high quality silicone and I believe it would last a very long time with care. It was specifically recommended to me by my dentist. I keep it in its case and wash with dishsoap after each use.

Hi Saffie, Not quite certain how long flossing or floss erstwhile in general have been around (this may be best addressed by your dentist) but, as far as I can remember, I originally used floss when it only came as string(these may still be around), in a canister. You'd pull out the amount you needed.

I have the WP Flosser-450, portable, no batteries. Very happy with purchase and WP gives it a 2 yr warranty. Amount of water depends on persons preference. The reservoir holds about 7.6 ounces. Sometimes it is enough for me, sometimes it isn't. But no worry since it is really easy to fill it again and double your pleasure. My floss head is secure and strong with more than enough force I need on setting Low. I just tried setting High and it is secure also.

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.

I do still have this and I still use it occasionally. I haven't had any issues with it at all. If you are looking for something consistent to use every day I wouldn't be sure on this, just because I haven't ever used it that consistently, but it has been 2+ years and it still works. Hope that helps!

I replace the foil when the quality of the shave goes down. I have a tough beard and replaced the foil on my last Panasonic about every 9 months.
