Waterpik Cordless Slide Professional Water Flosser, Portable Collapsible for Travel and Storage, with Travel Bag and 4 Tips, ADA Accepted, Rechargeable and Waterproof, Midnight Blue WF-17CD013-4

Fortunately I was unable to return it. It sat on the shelf for about a month.... So I pressed the "On" button. Boy, was I surprised. It was user error! I consulted the manual. I had been pressing the ON button too long. So it turned off, and on, an off..... Oh, I get it, just briefly press on. Low and behold, it works. I just felt so bad - I had to correct such a negative review. Unable to return this product after I used it. ONCE. Battery failed. I did the initial charge exactly as instructions, overnight. I was able to use it the next morning. But every time I tried to use it thereafter, it would send a couple of squirts, hiccup, then quit. So I tried to recharge, again. Each subsequent charge was exactly as before, one, two quick squirts followed by a spasm before stopping. I've tested several times using the WaterPik USB cord and another USB C. Exactly the same result each time. Charging overnight, it doesn't work the next day. Again I pressed start button, it delivers a quick squirt, then after a long pause, the next squirt tapers off. I turn it off after a few more seconds. BTW, this is my second dissatisfied Waterpix purchase. Fortunately Costco accepted return of a Waterpix set (regular , plus a portable) from Costco prior to this. This will be the second return of Waterpix's products. Since June 2023 I have found the corded Phillips Sonicare Power Flosser 7000 to be reliable.

This beats my old irrigator by a mile! I LOVE the way it collapses for packing! It holds JUST enough, if you’re careful to fill it up as much as possible. I use an herbal irrigant and I don’t want to have to refill. This one barely does the job in that regard, but I love everything else about it so much that I don’t care. It has a stopper, so it doesn’t leak. And it comes with some good heads to use. It’s easy to turn on and off and I love the size. If you’re just using water to irrigate, even if you do need to refill, it is so easy that it is no big deal at all. Expensive little sucker, so it’s hard to say it is “worth the money”… but, yeah… I guess it is.:-)

I bought a water flosser upon the urging of my dental hygienist. I wanted a portable one and picked this model based on its small size. Pluses: After I use it, my teeth feel amazingly clean. It is compact and very portable. The power of the cleansing jet is very good. Minuses: Awkward adjusting the strength of the jet. Very limited water capacity - you've got to hustle to get done or refill and go again. Doesn't last. Two months after I bought the unit, it died. I called Waterpik and they expedited a replacement unit to me. Two months later, the replacement unit died also. There seems to be a systemic problem with this model. I called support again. This time they provided what was described as their top of the line portable unit, the WP-580. It's working fine after a few days. If it dies also, I will update this review. In summary, this was a good functioning portable unit with a fatal flaw. I cannot urge a prospective buyer strongly enough to avoid it. The only bright spot was the consistently excellent customer support Waterpik provided from US-based support that answered quickly and addressed the issue with minimal fuss.

I like this Waterpik Cordless Slide and use it both at home and when I travel. It’s compact, the collapsible design makes it easy to pack, and the water pressure is strong enough to feel effective. The flosser comes with multiple tips and a travel bag. There’s no additional storage for the tips. (loose in the bag) I like that I am able to remove the reservoir to clean and dry it properly. The on button controls the water pressure and it took me a while to figure it out. This flosser comes with a USB-C charging cable but no wall plug. The reservoir can be a bit tricky to fill due to the size of the fill opening. I underestimated the learning curve, but with some practice this works well. Like any water flosser, it can be a bit messy until you get the hang of it. I’ve tried another travel water flosser that quit after about three weeks and held less water, so I appreciate that this one has been reliable so far and has a better tank size. Charge retention has been solid for me. I usually charge it about every two weeks and it hasn’t died on me yet. This is a travel flosser so if you are expecting it to perform like your full sized waterpik home unit you might be disappointed. Overall, I think it’s a good value for a portable flosser.

I bought this unit because I needed a compact water flosser for daily use and I was hoping the Waterpik brand meant something. Initially the unit worked well although I didn't like the single multi-press button. I find it too easy to change the pressure setting when turning it on and off. It failed after 6 months (and 2 days before I was leaving on vacation). When I got back from vacation I picked up the unit to find the serial number and contact support and it was working again! It worked for about 3 weeks before dying completely. Does not turn on and does not charge. I contacted Waterpik support this morning and after a couple of painless email exchanges they shipped a replacement unit. But here's why I'll continue to buy Waterpik products. I bought a cheaper water flosser of a similar design to use while I sorted out the Waterpik and the first thing I noticed was the poor quality of the tip for the cheap flosser. The end is flat with a hard edge and the water jet is noticeably coarser. The tip on the Waterpik is small, smooth, and rounded and the jet is finer and more powerful. The cheap flosser isn't bad but the Waterpik is better where it counts.

Hasta el momento potente y cumple mis necesidades

On the plus side, this water flosser is compact and truly portable. On the minus side, after about a month it begins to not accept a charge fully and slowly begins to lose its power until eventually it will stop working - although the light indicates it is fully charged. It is also extremely difficult to take apart, clean and reassemble. I paid $80 for this item at the time I purchased it and although it has come down in price since that time, Waterpik is destroying its reputation by selling such an inferior product.

I bought this because I didn’t want to bring my large waterpik. This is very compact and easy to transport. It holds a charge pretty well but the charging cord is easy to pack if needed. It works well, has great cleaning power and plenty of attachments. Really easy to use. Great value for your money. I would highly recommend.

Battery went dead and never works ever again after 5 months of use

Soy nueva con brackets y con este irrigador realmente quedan muy limpios, aunque es tedioso estarlo llenando porque se consume súper rápido, pero funciona de maravilla, puedes ponerle agua o tu enjuague bucal. No lastima las encías tampoco, al menos yo no sentí molestia alguna, trae diferentes tipos de “chorro” y yo lo puse en el más suave por el momento. ¡Excelente compra! Súper recomendado

Stopped working within a year, does not charge. Amazon says it is under warranty and directs to the manufacturer. Manufacturer says this model is not under warranty and they only cover purchase from official store/affiliates so that I should contact the seller.

A good product. The sad thing is that this dental flosser does not provide a place to store tips. This is rather inconvenient when travelling. Where to keep the tips after use? Other brands do provide a place within the instrument to keep tips after use.

Worked well when it was working. Battery went dead and stopped working after 6 months despite many attempts at recharging.
