I ordered a RediPik just now--I'll post some feedback on this forum after I try it out.

P.S. Checkout was a breeze, thanks.

I got my RediPik in the mail today. It came in a tiny little box which was cool. At first I thought--how in the world does it fit in that box? The hose isn't as thick as I thought it would be.

It was easy enough to install. I only needed pliers to remove the aerator that was already tightened onto my faucet. The aerator had been on so long that the rubber washer had decayed. It was gross!

Next, I screwed in the adapter by hand and then screwed on RediPik metal section. There's a suction cup to keep the hose tidy and another suction cup to hold the hand held piks. How thoughtful

Now, you might be wondering how it works. I wasn't sure if oral irrigators were supposed to pulsate or not, but I assume that they don't since this one doesn't. Due to the high amount of water pressure I had to be careful not to turn my sink on too much. Activating the RediPik with the water on high is dangerous!

The instruction manual warns you about this fact. So, I turned my faucet on low and then slowly turned the knob to adjust the water to the right pressure.

Tada! Water powered oral irrigator... great invention

P.S. Just in time for my braces on Monday!!

I thought the only difference was that one was a permanent sink attachment and one was removable... maybe I'm wrong!

Hi, Tom here from Oral Breeze.
The main difference is the RediPik is always "ready" - always on the faucet. And the QuickPik is "quick". Snaps on for use and then stores away. Also, because of design, the RediPik is a lot heavier.

I'm am really glad that so many metal mouths are using my products.
I make a profit - sure. But I also get a great deal of satisfaction knowing they are helping people.

The copy below is from my web site.

A customer complained to me about wanting something for her daughter to clean her braces but did not want something permanent on her sink.
So, I made the QuickPik. It snaps on and off.
Hope that explains it. Look at www.oralbreeze.com and the quickPik pictures. I'm sure that will help.

I've read the above info many times over the past week ... but it still doesn't explain why in your email to me you wrote ...
I designed the QuickPik with cleaning braces in mind. It is also a very dependable oral irrigator for gum disease.
I don't see why the one type that 'snaps on and off' your sink faucet is the type you've said has been designed for people with braces. This is the question I want answered ... why one model over the other

I really want to buy one ... but I'm still not sure which one ... coz I'm confused on this issue. It's a big issue buying products from overseas, coz not only do we have to deal with exchange rates, but also charges for using overseas currency ... so I want to be sure that what I buy is what I will get the most use out of, while in braces and after these foreign objects have been removed from my teeth.

Hope I'm making sense!

Yes, you can travel with it.
The QuickPik comes off between uses.
Tom

Ok ... so does this mean that the QuickPik is kinda portable By that I mean is it that easy to 'snap on and snap off', so that I can take it on holiday with me etc? My holidays often involve travelling overseas ... so this one really interests me.

Apart frm the QuickPik's ability to 'snap on and snap off', are there any other differences between the two models? Also can the QuickPik be left 'snapped on', if you're happy with leaving it on one tap?

I have spent a lot of time on www.oralbreeze.com since our correspondence ... but now I need some of the 'nuts and bolt' questions sorted. This is probably a great place to do it, as it's a bit like advertising, but hopefully Lynn won't mind, as I'm really keen to buy one of your machines ... I'm just not sure which one!

Thanks in advance Tom!

Hi! I have been following this topic with a lot of interest as I would love to order one, but want to make sure I make the right choice.

I live in an older house and have separate hot/cold taps - not one tap that automatically mixes both hot and cold water so you can have warm water. Do you think it would be okay to just use cold tap water? Would this hurt your teeth, or make them sensitive??

Thanks!

Thanks for that Karen, I may have to consider that option. It is just more convenient to do it at the sink rather than the shower.. A good idea though!

I seen a contraption for sinks like yours which join both hot n cold water.Do a net search for it then when u get it u can add the waterpic to it.

Hey, that sounds like a great idea. However, I am moving house in February, hopefully to one with newer plumbing! So, I think I'll wait and hopefully order one then.. Can't wait..
