Quietness is a quality easy to overlook until you find yourself reluctant to use it for fear of waking up everyone in your household/apartment building/surrounding neighborhood.

I used one a million years ago when I was a teenager and I hated it because it legit sounded like a lawnmower. Are they still so insanely loud?

The quietest one I’ve found so far is Phillips Sonicare—it’s not much louder than an open tap or running shower.

I do like Waterpick, because I had a good experience with their customer service. (I messed up the travel sized one by letting the batteries leak out in it, tried to purchase a replacement battery door and they sent me a brand new one.)

I have a portable and a regular unit.

When my Waterpik broke after years of use I was happily surprised to learn they still had replacement parts available.

Waterpik is a great company.

I have a few of their products and one had an issue, I called them, immediately got a human, and had my waterpik replaced in 3 days.

It was an absolutely refreshing customer service experience, no chat bots, no phone bots, not complicated phone menus, just a ring and a hello how can we help you.

Love Waterpik.

Get the wireless one. It's worth it.
