Suri Electric Toothbrush Review – Why I Finally Listened to My Hygienist

For the past year, every time I’ve sat in my dental hygienist’s chair, she’s given me the same gentle but firm nudge: “You really should be using an electric toothbrush.”

I’d nod and promise to “look into it” before returning to my trusty manual brush. But with another appointment looming, I couldn’t face another telling‑off.

The tipping point came when I interviewed a brain health specialist recently who spoke about how poor dental hygiene has been linked with age-related issues like dementia and cognitive decline.

So, I finally gave in and opted for the Suri electric toothbrush, a sleek, eco‑friendly model that had caught my eye from social media ads.

Comfort and Design: Gentler Than Expected

In the past I’ve avoided electric toothbrushes because when I tried my husband’s it tickled my gums too much.

Suri, however, is way more comfortable. It feels slim, lightweight, and streamlined—more like holding a manual brush than a chunky gadget. The sonic vibrations feel powerful enough for the teeth without annoying my gums.

Exceptional Battery Life – Holiday-Ready

A BIG standout perk is that Suri boasts over 40 days of battery life on a single charge—so long that you can take it on holiday without bringing the charger.

It’s as carefree as traveling with a manual brush, but with all the benefits of electric. Plus, the magnetic USB charging stand is minimal and stylish enough to leave out on your bathroom counter without clutter.

UV Cleaning Case and Hygiene Features

You can also purchase a UV‑cleaning travel case that sanitises the brush head using UV‑C light—it kills up to 99.9 % of bacteria. It doubles as a charger too.

The built‑in two‑minute timer is pretty standard with most electric toothbrushes but still a helpful way to get the recommended brush time in.

Eco Credentials and Sustainability

I also really like the eco‑conscious approach of this brand. The brush heads are made from plant‑based cornstarch and castor‑oil bristles, and the company offers a free recycling service for used heads. The aluminum body is designed to be repairable or recyclable.

Pricing Comparison

Pricing varies by region and bundle – though I would say the basic brush is enough and represents good value for what you get. In the UK, it typically ranges between £75–£95, depending on included accessories. In the US, it’s around $92 for the brush alone.

My husband has the Braun Oral-B electric brush, which typically sells for around £50 in the UK. His has lasted years and he’s very happy with it, but it’s significantly less elegant by design, requires regular charging and a stand in the bathroom and feels rougher/more tickly on the gums.

The Suri brush also stands up to the basic Sonicare toothbrush and is similarly priced. In fact I think it edges it because of the battery length.

Final Verdict

Between its elegant build, eco-forward design, ultra-long battery life, and thoughtful extras like the UV case, I think the Suri toothbrush is worthwhile investment.

As proof my sister just told me she got one for her birthday from her partner, and is now buying her partner one back! Those social media ads are clearly working.
