The Oral Irrigator is small but powerful. At 1,600 pulses per minute, it cleans debris between teeth and massages gumlines for healthy gums. A great tool for cleaning braces. Great for travel or a quick cleaning between meals. The Oral Irrigator folds down to the size of a coffee cup. There are no awkward cords or cumbersome tanks to worry about. The Oral Irrigator has a large water tank capacity allowing for longer periods of use at home or while traveling.

Clumsy

Compared 2 WATERPIK and the PANASONIC portable irrigator it runs a somewhat clumsy and messy second. Sorry!

Works well but needs lots of batteries.

This oral irrigator works well and has a brisk pulsating stream of water when the batteries are fresh (although it holds less than a cup of water). After about a week and a half the batters start to die and the pulsations are less strong. I have paid for the unit about 10 times over with just buying batteries along. I'm going for the standard now. This is okay if you want to take an small unit along to use traveling or at work. But I don't advise using it every day unless you own a battery recharger.

how to clean

I just ordered another oral irrigator to replace the one I had ,because it was so yucky with black "stuff". Tried to clean with Q-tips to no avail. Well this one came with maintenace instuctions. The blue tank comes OFF!! Pull down really hard and it separates. I used ivory liquid and an old toothbrush! Looks brand new. Run a few times to be sure all the soap is rinsed out. Do not use any caustic cleaning agents it may damage the mechanism.Be careful with the springed hose too. Remember pull hard and it will separate. It slides back on easily.

Last about 2 years -- they are worth every minute

We've had 4 of these over the past 9 years, and I'm getting another one now to use at work.
They each last about 2 years, then the motor brushes (part of the motor that wears out) wear down -- it starts & stops, then eventually it's just not worth dinking around with it and I get a new one. For $1/month, it's far cheaper than dentist bills. It gets <> the loose food out of my teeth & gums wherever I am (we always take it on vacation).
Alkaline batteries give the strongest/fastest action; rechargeable batteries give a softer (still usable) stream since they are slightly lower in voltage.
I absolutely agree with Jeanne -- very easy to clean once you know how.
If you're on the fence about whether to get one of these (read the reviews for all the other brands and you'll quickly find the others are all junk) just use it once and watch all the "fresh garbage" fall out of your mouth. You'll never go without it again.
My dentist routinely comments positively on my gum health, and I don't really brush (1x a day) and floss (1x a month) like I should.
I just wish they'd put in better motor brushes so I wouldn't have to buy one every couple of years. But they always give plenty of warning, so I just get a new one.
Check around on Amazon -- prices vary by $10 for the same product. Use the 'Customers also viewed' links in the middle of the page.
We've had the EW196 model -- much smaller tank, weaker stream, same lifetime (~2 yrs.), same batteries, and about the same price. Now we get the Panasonic EW1270AC Portable Oral Irrigator at $27.50 w/free S&H. We've never bought 'extra' nozzles, but that's your call if you're grossed out by the idea of sharing a nozzle. It just shoots a stream of water, and you don't touch the tip to your gums or teeth anyway.
