Both wife and I have the same model.

^^^ Yep...same one I just ordered. It's to be delivered on Sunday.

Thanks for the feedback. I already have an cordless elec brush (Braun) and the suggested model would be redundant ?
Amazon had what I was looking for - a direct replacement for my old one.
(not to mention for about $140 less )
Sorry, and thanks.

^^^ My reason for getting the Sonic 2.0 is that it does both at the same time. (see vid in OP)
I also have Braun Oral B , which will be replaced by this.

Just noticed that they also sell 'whitening tablets' to use in the Waterpik.
Great idea...if they work.

Periodontist here. I have several patients who use this with good results.

My advice would be to use one for 6 months, then ask your hygienist (or dentist) what sort of effectiveness they are seeing in your oral health (gingival inflammation, plaque removal, etc).

There is no one size fits all oral hygiene regimen, different people need different things to stay healthy.

In general I am a fan of the WaterPik, especially if you have implants and/or bridges. I find WP's Sonic TB to not be that great. I personally use a Sonicare TB and a separate WP.

Just arrived....will thaw it out when I get home. I love Prime delivery...great pics.

...difference between Prime and standard?
...outer packaging..


..still got it in 3 days w Sunday delivery.

[stevej37]

^^^ I was told that mine would arrive on Saturday. We had a bad snowstorm and they changed it to Sunday. Sunday night, I received an email that they were unable to find a spot to drop my package at???
Today it showed up around noon..lol

After a couple days of using it...I have to say that I like it a lot.

Flossing and brushing at the same time is my favorite and I turn the pressure up to 5..so far.

They are also handy for cleaning mirrors, the sink, and yourself.

I am using mine at the 5 setting as well.....

[stevej37]

Yes...they can make a mess! I'm hoping I get better at it with time.

Don’t forget eyeglass frames, metal watch bands, and some jewelry.
