Love this gadget to pieces!!! Kind of anal about my oral hygiene and I have been on the search for a really good portable flosser. Have bought at least 5 different kinds in the last few years. I have finally found my forever water flosser! Love the weightiness of the base, it feels solid and sturdy. Love the way the base fits inside the water basin for a clean and compact storage solution. And Bonus, it comes with a beautiful carrying case. I can see why some reviews say they use this for home and travel...it can definitely hold up for both. If I didn't already have a waterpik for the home, I would use this for both. Yes it is a little pricey, but I would have blown the money on fast food or clothes that would end up at the back of my closet. My mouth is worth the investment. I would buy it again of I had too. WaterPik Rocks!!!!

This Sidekick is extremely well designed. Easy to put together and use. Wish I had found this one before I bought my counter-top version, would return it if I could since this Sidekick does equally as well! I can do my whole mouth with this size reservoir without refilling, and the open top makes it easy to add Listerine etc. Sliding switch to select from ample pressure settings. The pick handle is squared off for easy maneuverability and can rotate on top of the coil tube. Love the size for traveling - a little bigger than a cell phone and ~double the thickness. I bought 2 other "travel" units that both refused to recharge after ~10 uses, had to throw in the garbage. Yes this one is pricy but the great quality makes up for it. Yes, the plug does stick out but u can overcome by positioning on the counter. Love the cool black/bronze color too. Get it!

The designer of this product deserves major awards - fabulous in its portability and compact storage. Sleek and beautiful. So quick to assemble/put away. Doesn’t have the power to pressure-wash your house like the standard in-house unit, but most of us have all kinds of dental work and we don’t need to be blasting our super-expensive teeth and risking undoing all we paid for. Waterpik is the king of this arena for a good reason.

PROS: Great portability. Great power. Big enough tank - easy to wipe down or clean.
BIGGEST PRO: Full-speed power settings like a desktop unit (as opposed to only "hi" and "lo" settings like the other portables - and LO was still too forceful when using post-surgery).
Box and presentation was really nice but unnecessary.
The way the unit comes apart for setup and goes back together into its tank and then its included case, is perfect. A+ on the design there.

NOT-REALLY-CON: The cord sticks out the back like others have mentioned but those reviewers should buy full-size units. This is designed for portability -- NOT for you to leave on your sink/counter. So I will not deduct a star for that nor do I find it to be an issue, at all.

CONS: No replaceable tips. Newly-designed hose has permanent (and much smaller-than-normal) tip attached, so not great for multi-person family use. Obviously done to save space, but at the price point it would have been nice to see a solution that allowed standard tips.
The smaller tip size and seemingly shorter hose also makes it a bit fiddly to use, compared to full-sized units.
Could be possibly considered just a bit pricey (currently) by some people.

------------
All in all its a great little design and WAY better to travel with vs. the cordless units for a variety of reasons.
Therefore i would say I am pretty happy with it. I still use my full size unit at home full time but I was REALLY glad they came out with this for traveling. I highly recommend this and it's a must-have for anyone with recent dental surgery who needs full-range of power settings like the full-sized units.

Color: White/ChromeStyle: Water FlosserVerified Purchase
After learning the hard way the cost of neglecting the highest degree of oral hygiene, in both economic and physical consequences, I became committed to using all the best tools and habits possible. So I use both a Phillips Sonicare and an Oral B electric toothbrush, floss, use a standard Waterpik unit and even "oil pulling" daily. But when I travel, which is weekly, I missed having my Waterpik unit and so did a search for something I could take with me, and discovered this unit. It seemed unreasonably expensive but I opted to give it a try. I'm so glad I did. I really love this little machine. It does consolidate into a very compact area, though I did opt for a hard sided transport case which did make the unit take up more suitcase space, though not overly so. There are several compromises and differences from the home sink top model. Most notably, the water holding tank holds maybe half what its larger bathroom counterpart provides. Not a big inconvenience, but it requires two tankfuls to do a thorough cleaning for me. Unlike it's larger sibling, the plastic end piece cannot be detached but is fused with the tubing that plugs into the unit. To eject the end of the tubing that plugs into the motor body, there is s small button you can push. There is a small hook-like area in the design of the handle that allows you to clip the piece onto the water tank when not in use. There is no swivel on the plastic injector end that goes in your mouth like it's larger counterpart, that allows you to move your fingertips to direct the water jet, but that's a minor inconvenience as you master a slightly altered technique. As for power, I found the water jet to be a bit more powerful that its larger sibling unit so I dial it only to about 8 out of 10. After each use and before packing up for travel, it is recommended that you make certain there is no water still trapped in the coiled hose to prevent bacteria from reproducing there, especially is a warm dark travel case. There are a few cheaper travel alternatives, one of which is also made by Waterpik. But as in most things, you get what you pay for. If you want the best results in a small compact footprint, with a powerful water stream, do yourself a favor and get this unit. You can also use it as your main unit especially if you have a smallish home bathroom sink area, but how the jet wand sits precariously on the rim of the water tank and also how the power cord inserts into the back of the unit requiring a larger footprint than you might expect from a small unit, made this an undesirable option for me. But if you only want to buy one Waterpik for travel and home, this is a viable option. Overall, I am extremely happy with my purchase and it works extremely well in terms of its compact size for travel as well as its strong stream and effectiveness. It is perhaps overpriced and should be a bit cheaper. But if you want to purchase the very best and don't mind paying the premium price, you should be extremely happy with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Portable Version of Conventional Waterpik
Reviewed in Canada on August 21, 2021
Color: White/ChromeStyle: Water FlosserVerified Purchase
I have the conventional Waterpik for home use and love it. However the size and shape of it isn't ideal for travel. It's bulky and takes up a ton of space in a suitcase, especially for short trips. The Sidekick solves all those problems.

It's very well designed and compact and comes with a nice carrying case. It's powerful enough for short term use and reservoir is just big enough, although occasionally I will refill it for another round when needed. The lack of lid isn't a big deal. I either disassemble it when not in use and lay the components on a towel outside of the bathroom to dry or I throw a hand towel over the top so I'm not worried about the hygiene aspect.

The reviews low rating the Sidekick because it's not good for everyday home use make me shake my head. This unit wasn't designed for that but is fantastic for travel. Very glad I purchased it and would recommend to any fan of Waterpik.

I have the full size waterpick for everyday use, but if you are like me, you want a waterpick even when you travel or, why not, at the office?. The battery operated versions do not work well, I have tried them all, they lack power, the batteries don’t last, and, they are more cumbersome and awkward than this little jewel! It is compact, could even fit in a purse, a smart design, yes it’s small, (don’t expect a 2 litres réservoir) but I fill the water tank twice at maximum pressure and the cleaning is fine, no, it’s great. Note: I am not paid for this review, nor did I get a free item to write a review! I paid the full price, and for me it’s worth it even though a bit expensive. I would not exactly recommend it for everyday use, unless you live in a shoe box! But for travel it’s perfect, I love it!!
