I bought this toothbrush about 2 years ago and have happily used it ever since. It leaves the teeth feeling clean and is not too bulky to hold. I find the timer buzz convenient and easy to ignore if you chose so. Can't see why people find it annoying.

Both my husband and myself use the same model - we just change brush heads. The brush head replacements are inexpensive and come with different colored rings. The battery holds charge forever, which is great for trips. We've taken it to 8-10 day trips without the charger, and used it both twice a day, and it still had charge. Highly recommended.

After years of my dental hygienist asking me why I haven't bought one of these sonic toothbrushes, I finally broke down and bought one. Wow, what a difference! I am a brusher and flosser, but the results are very real. My teeth are whiter and no build up of plaque behind the front teeth. Amazing! If you are someone with the same problems, a regular brusher who can't seem to ever keep the build-up of plaque behind the front teeth, you will love this product. If you are not a regular tooth brusher (ew!) than you need this product. The timing mechanism is extra good, because it makes you really take the two minutes twice a day that you need to keep those pearly whites, well, pearly white!

I have 4 of s-200, one s-320 for my father now. My wife, son and me use one at home, I have one at work. I bought them on Ebay for less than half the retail price, so I can buy more to save the trouble to switch heads. This unit is better than original sonicare in almost very way. It cleans teeth at least as good as sonicare, but the design does not require you clean the root of the tooth brush head regularly like sonicare does. The brush head has a better quality than sonicare, after 2 years of regular use, the head cleans almost as new. Although oral-b recommends you to replace it for very 3 month, I found it is only necessary for manual teeth brush, fast vibrating cleaning action preserve the brush cleaning power much much better, it does not bend the brush that much.
I had the first s-200 for more than 5 years now, it still charges very well and cleans strong. The German really did a wonderful engineering job. My first two sonicare only lasted two years in comparison for their batteries to reach the end life.

So you've read the reviews about how this is a great toothbrush that does the job and your teeth will be clean. This review chooses to focus on the color scheme of this Oral-B unit. I chose to rate this product with five stars. If I had the option, I would specifically rate this a 4.9, less than a perfect score, solely because of the questionable color plastics chosen for this toothbrush. To start it off, the front of the handle was made aquamarine. This hideous color should not match any sane person's bathroom decor. But if that wasn't bad enough, the back of the handle is a repugnant seafoam green color. Between these varying shades of hideousness, a strip of cerulean blue flake plastic accents the toothbrush. The brush head itself has a ring of royal blue around the neck, and the back of the brush head is cornflower blue. Of course, the bristles themselves are yet another random shade of blue. In conclusion, this is a very solid product that is held back by the fact that it looks like a hodgepodge of different color plastics, none of which come anywhere near matching or aethsetically pleasing. Why can't they just make this toothbrush a simple black, white, or any solid color? I recommend this product to anyone who wants clean teeth and can't decide between the color green or blue.

Works great, I use it every day. I'm really glad I made the switch from a regular toothbrush.
