This is the second Interplak water jet I’ve had. The first one lasted about 2 years until the batteries wouldn’t hold a charge. Otherwise it works very well, and it’s nice that the unit is portable, with no water tube or power cord connecting to a base unit.

Charged mine for 24 hours. I read the instructions, and yes, it works. Keep your mouth closed, elbow outward so water doesn’t run down your arm. (instructions say so). Working in sections of your mouth (upper, lower, innner and outer gums/teeth), turn off at the easy push button and rinse out your mouth. Sorry to see the previous review had a bad machine and am dissapointed that Interplak did not send her a replacement to try again. I bought mine at Target and there was only one left. Am going back or order thru Amazon after X-mas for each family member.

I purchased this with great excitement, I had just gotten my braces and planned to keep them clean. I thought I could use it at school since I have a sink. It didn’t work at all. I used it one time and the water ran down my arm, I couldn’t get any real pressure and the second time I tried to use it, it wouldn’t even turn on.

I gave it a third chance by charging it one whole day. No dice. The thing just wasn’t worth it. I called the company and had a horrid experience there also. The number wasn’t 24 hours. I left a message and no one would call me back. I sent an email and no one answered it.

Amazon did give me most of my money back but the whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth in all senses of the phrase.

Boy, I don’t about those other bad reviews, but I’ve had good luck with this product. I’m on my second one (well, at less than $20 they don’t last forever, you know), and I just ordered one for my grandson to help clean his braces. I have teeth implants and have to keep them immaculately clean, and this product does the trick. I also use it when I travel. It keeps a charge for at least a week, so it’s very convenient.

I love this product. It packs down small for travel but opens up to be easy to use. Great price, too.

I must say that I have to agree with all the positive reviews. I have been using it for over an year now.

This product gets the job done at the right price.

The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the charger is rated only for 110V as opposed to be 240V-110V so when you travel you need to bring an extra adapter to convert from 240V to 110V.

Otherwise awesome product.

This lasted for quite sometime. I bought mine from Target, a little skeptical compared to the plug in bigger units and waterpik brands, but this really did the trick for the past year. I put mouthwash in it, took it into the shower. Charges occured overnight or through the day, usually setting it to charge when I noticed the “jet” feeling was kind of weak. This worked well for cleaning my most rear teeth, when my wisdom teeth were out and creating problems in brushing. I have some areas where food ALWAYS gets caught between them and using this would shoot those leftovers right out. The unit was still working good, but I decided I wanted to take it apart and use the motor to make a small squirt gun. Now I’m searching to see if I can find this model again in stores. It was cheap, effective and portable. Great find and experimenting.

Had this for a year with no problems. Charges easily and holds it unlike others I have had. I like it!

I’ve used the Compact Water Jet for a couple of weeks now. I like the fact that it’s small,affordable, and only holds enough liquid for one use at a time. However, the on/off switch is awkward, and it’s impossible to hold in a position that will keep the suction tube in the liquid and not be terribly messy. I also would have liked the option of a finer tip. All in all, if you can afford to buy the larger version with a stationary tank and a wand, do so, but if you need portability and the lower price, this one will work.

I don’t write about products, but I do rely on what people say about products and when I’ve seen allbad reviews for inerplak water jet I just could not belive it. I own this product for at least a year, this same one. It works great. In the begining it used to hold charge a bit longer. I could go for about a week on single charge now it is loosing a preasure on about 4th day, which I consider great for a year old 20$ oral jet.

Best 20$ I’ve ever spent! And belive me I am very keen about my teeth, I had my braces at 20yo – well I am from Poland and 12 years ago not everybody could aford it , and it was still prety new there. I am 32 now and I did not had my 8th teeth surgicaly removed, and they seatting rather deap in my gums. I usedd to be a nightmare for me , I would get infection once a month or more often. I’ve always had a strong pain reliever handy and I was possitive I will have to go for extraction. Then I decided to try oral jets,i wanted a portable one. First I got a panasonic , don’t recall what model but it needed 2 batteries. Nightmare.To strong preasure at first than it was weakning very fast and the batteries where wunning out very fast. Never again. Than I had a portable waterpik – and the answer is NO! It was supposed to have a different preasures and different attachments , whatever. It sucked. Got rid of it and now my life got better with Interplak water jet. I did not have an infection since I am using it. I always brush my teeth first then use the jet. I use luke warm water not to irritate the gums. Every time I jet I can’t belive my eyes what comes out my teeth after I brushed. Than I feel sory for people who did not discover irrigation. I am not planning to have another infection nor cavity anytime soon. If I go away and forget my charger I just simply go to store and spend another 20$ and get another interplak.

I guess oral hygine is a very personal experience andsometimes you have to try couple jets before you get your fav one. Mine is Interplak!
