I wonder if you can explain whether there are very different styles or whether all the flossers are now different than they used to be?

Hi Saffie, Not quite certain how long flossing or floss erstwhile in general have been around (this may be best addressed by your dentist) but, as far as I can remember, I originally used floss when it only came as string(these may still be around), in a canister. You'd pull out the amount you needed.

I can only speak from my perspective, so I would not recommend this product as a total replacement for flossing. But as an in-between meals supplement to flossing, I love mine. The product is not without flaws. The fluid reservoir is too small and the cover to that reservoir is a bit "iffy", but you would be surprised how much power that stream of air/water/mouthwash pulse has. I would expect to see an upgrade to the reservoir problems on the next version of this product.

I just got mine about 2 months ago BUT the last Waterpik we had lasted at least 10 years, probably being used every other day.

That is a subject of great debate in our house. They are made of recyclable plastic, however after they have been used they are considered hazardous waste in our area. If you remove the floss, I suppose they could go in the recycling bin. I wish they made flossers that would decompose on their own in the trash!

I can only vouch for the waterpick water flosser but I'd be willing to bet theyre all standard.

Yes. It is the newest style. I personal love the old style but I can't find that anymore.

Yes. I suggest you go to waterpik and find your model, though, to make sure. There are a lot of different styles.

I ordered this "flosser" to replace my prior one that I had for about 10 years or better. I hope to get the same good service from this one. I normally floss 3 or 4 times a week..

The one you have the picture of there is an old one. It appears there is a new one with replaceable cutters.

After several years of use they were showing extreme wear so I replaced them. You stated that yours are still great after many years. Consider using the comparison, are you still using the same tooth brush after the same amount of time.

If you had to do it more than one person could share it but not more than that as there is no way to differentiate the tips. Honestly, I am returning this thing as it is messy and I do not feel it removes as much stuff as the way cheaper hand held Oral B flosser does.

Of all of the models and we have had since the first came out in the 70's this is the most stable and it should last w/ care and wiping out reservoir after use long ger than the 2 year warranty which comes with this model. The vertical flosser with a limited tank size and minimal pressure is NOT RECOMMENDED by us. Dr. Harold Z.

My experience is very dated and may not be accurate any more - I bought it many years ago. The replacement was different from the original, but it did work, however I felt the cutter didn't move as freely as it used to, but that may have just been my imagination. I did have problems with my shaver which ultimately stopped working, but I don't know if this was related to this replacement.

I use them instead of flossing, but I would bet a dentist would still recommend flossing, also.

Tho only difference I can see is the lip on the older trays is higher and kind of slotted. The lip on the newer trays is sold but not as high. Appears to be about 1/4" difference, but both have a raised lip.

I'm just guessing here, but I think the same amount as one of those small floss boxes that hold the floss you can take out as much as you want.. one single one of those. :) It lasts me about the same, is why I guess this.

They do appear to be the same as previously made and discontinued, although I do not seem to be getting the same amazing preservation of freshness as I had using the old ones.
