Review on πŸ’§ High-Quality Univen Hose and Handle Kit Compatible with WaterPik WP-100 by Paul Romero

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A repair is BETTER than a new device (seriously)!

So I had a 6 year old Waterpik Ultra oral irrigator (model WP-100) and the hose ended up breaking. Little did I know at the time that replacement tubes were available online. So I went to Walmart and bought a brand new WP-100. . . it looked identical. However when I turned it on. . . WOW, my wife and I found the pump motor incredibly noisy and obnoxious and audible throughout the house. If there is some water left in the tank from the previous use, which is quite reasonable, when you lift the tank to add more water, the water will flow out through the hole in the bottom of the tank and enter the base. Block wet and bathroom meters. This was not the case with my 6 year old device. So I returned a new one to Walmart for a second new replacement and while this one was a little quieter but still noisy, this tank also leaked when unplugged. So I decided to return it and searched the internet for a replacement tube. SO HAPPY to find it here and only took 2 minutes to swap out and my old 6 year old unit works as good as ever. . . this is MUCH BETTER than an identical new device from the store. Why would WaterPik take a great WP-100 theme and play around with it? Maybe they hired a "smart" college grad who switched to cheaper motors and cheaper gaskets to save the company a ton of money for mass production. (Very short-sighted).

Pros
  • Fits WaterPik WP-100WPLT, WP-110W and WP-130W models
Cons
  • Crumpled
