I love this thing but..

I have never had a water flosser before. I have a couple of places on my gums that get really sore. Since I've been using this nightly, the sore gum problem has cleared. I really like that it is battery operated and I don't have to have it sitting on my counter. However, the placement of the button makes it easy to make a mistake and push the wrong button while in the process of using it. I have gotten water in my hair and on the ceiling and walls of my bathroom. I have learned to manage it by always keeping one finger on the off button at all times and all other fingers away from the other buttons. I also hold it where I cannot touch the other buttons. Never try to change anything unless you are looking at it. Have had it for months and it will still get away from me at times. I would give it 5 stars if not for this.
