Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased a WaterPik cordless (WP-562) in 2018 and it changed my life. So when it eventually died, I wanted to see how the tech had evolved in 4 years and upgrade. Surprisingly, WaterPik has not changed at all, so I went looking for alternatives. This Nicwell stands up pretty well with some big improvements and a couple minor nitpicks. - Much smaller than the WaterPik while holding the same amount of water (or maybe more). You can see the two compared in the pictures - the WaterPik is the larger one. Much easier to travel with. - Seemingly longer battery life. I can go weeks without charging this thing and I use it every day (2 fills of the reservoir) - Speaking of charging, the biggest benefit is that it smart charges. The WaterPik couldn’t be charged for more than 4 hours at a time without damaging the battery (yes, seriously. Go read the reviews, and even the instructions say the same thing). I can plug this thing in overnight and not have to worry. What a simple feature that was a big miss on the WaterPik. - I didn’t like the preset pressure settings on the Nicwell, but you can use the custom mode to adjust. Unfortunately, getting it into the adjustment mode is confusing, the instructions are wrong, and you actually have to have it running to change settings, which can make for a very messy situation. Eventually I found a close enough setting. - The charging port is awkward, requiring you to pull out this tiny little rubber tab that is difficult to grab. You might need tweezers or pliers depending on your finger strength. Here’s one area where the WaterPik shined: it had magnetic charging. Overall I’m very happy with this NicWell, especially considering the price. I don’t feel like it cleans quite as well as the WaterPik (the shape of the nozzle maybe?) but that just means using it for slightly longer to hit all the spots just right. All the other benefits more than make up for that.
