Waterpik WP-450

Product Information

Some cordless Waterpik models have a magnetic induction charger connection, and others have a USB charger (part number YLJXE-T050100). The top power setting is no higher than the Cordless Plus, but you do get more control with the extra setting and the battery indicator is a very handy feature. Unfortunately, it seems to suffer from similar reliability issues so you'll want to keep that warranty card handy. First you need to determine which model of Waterpik you have. The easiest way is to find the WP or WF model number marked on the flosser. In the example below the flosser is marked model WP-450 behind the reservoir. Below that is the serial number and a localised part number (WP450UK in this case.) You can generally ignore any letters after the numbers as these refer to your geographic region. Although a countertop version may be slightly stronger, most people find that using the highest setting on a cordless model still provides a great clean. So, let's take a look at some of the best cordless Waterpik flossers in the UK right now. Waterpik Cordless Plus water flosser (WP-450UK) Yes, Waterpik flossers can help improve gum problems, including stopping receding gums. But we advise you to visit your dentist to get professional advice about the problem. If your gum condition is very bad then you may require other treatment. What is better: Airfloss or Waterpik?

Parts for Waterpik flossers are generally interchangeable between flossers that share the first 2 digits after the WP- in their part number. The third digit usually only indicates the colour. So, for example, within the WP-460 series your flosser might be a WP-462 but it will use the same parts as the WP-463, WP-464 and so on. Bear this in mind when looking for spare parts for your flosser.As far as the clean goes, we were more than happy with the results. The only people who will be dissatisfied are those of you who use a counter-top model on the highest pressure setting.

Bought this and a travel one as have been having problems with my gums. If you are torn between the two I would definitely recommend getting the full size version. The two are not really comparable. Water tank in full size only needs filling once and you can change the pressure from 1 to 10. 5 is enough for me at the moment.” Other charger part numbers for North America include YL-35-030100A and U030010A12, the latter of which comes with a triangular M type plug to fit the flosser. These both have an output of 3V AC at 100mA. Classic Jet Tip– The most commonly used Waterpik flosser head. A stream of water flows through the tip and blasts away plaque from between the teeth and along the gum line. Waterpik has included two Jet Tips in the box of the Cordless Plus. The Waterpik Cordless Plus contains a NiMH battery and takes a full 24 hours to charge. We found ourselves getting just over 14 uses before the battery would completely die on us. So if you are choosing between these two models, we currently recommend choosing the Cordless Plus over the Cordless Professionals. Put your savings towards buying replacement flosser tips in the future.The WP-440, WP-450 and WP-460 series are generally identical apart from colour. Listed below are some of the Waterpik Cordless Flosser series available: I have used the two plug in Waterpiks and in many ways this is a leap forward. It is portable but still quite large, it doesn't need to be plugged in and best of all it eliminates the hose connecting the reservoir to the device delivering the water to your teeth. In all my previous Waterpiks the hose after a few months use has split leaving the device useless . It does not deliver pressure as high as the maximum on the devices that use mains power.” For good oral health, simply brushing your teeth is not enough. If you just brush, plaque and debris get left behind. The Waterpik Water Flosser cleans away debris that other devices miss. It cleans deep between the teeth and below the gumline to remove up to 99.9% of plaque from treated areas. Below we list some of the commonly required spare parts for Waterpik water flossers, including spare tips, water tanks, replacement motors, replacement flosser batteries and new chargers. We also have links for where to buy the parts. If you’re in the UK you can also buy parts and accessories from Waterpik UK Online. However, that's really where the benefits end because you're getting less pressure (80 PSI) than other models, only three power settings, and two tips included. It looks and feels quite cheap and dated compared to their others. If you want a compact flosser, it might make more sense to buy a cordless one with similar settings and a lower price, like this one from TUREWELL. Waterpik and toothbrush combos
