Shopping Writer Meghan has been a sworn Oral-B devotee – until she tried Suri’s sonic toothbrush and she raves ‘my teeth feel cleaned like I’ve been to the hygienist, every time’
I have always sworn by electric toothbrushes, and once I switched from a manual brush, I opted for an Oral-B model that my dentist recommended. I thought I’d never ditch that model, as it worked effectively and came with my dentist’s stamp of approval.
But recently, I wanted to try out the new, innovative technology of sonic toothbrushes, which are set to work as effectively as your go-to electric toothbrush. This particular model prioritises sustainability alongside oral hygiene.
Suri’s top-rated sonic toothbrush has been causing a stir as it has become the firm favourite of many users. Boasting dentists’ approval and over 500k happy brushers sharing their love, this sonic toothbrush boasts an award-winning appearance. It’s been designed with dentists and is half the size of your average electric toothbrush—and it looks great on your bathroom wall or counter.

Promising an award-winning, high-performance clean with recyclable components and a slim, durable design, the Suri toothbrush is made from durable, lightweight and sustainable materials, with toothbrush heads that can be recycled once they’re no longer in use.
This sonic brush is set to remove five times more plaque than your typical manual brush. It uses 33,000 vibrations and two brushing modes to ensure a thorough and effective clean every time.
One thing I will note about the brushing process is that this brush doesn’t feel like your normal electric toothbrush. I have sensitive teeth and gums, so some electric toothbrushes I’ve tried tend to leave my mouth feeling raw and tender—but not this gem. The toothbrush heads are designed to have medium-soft bristles that are gentle on even the most sensitive teeth.
While the model lacks hard bristles, the clean is nonetheless impressive. It feels akin to appointments with the hygienist with every brush – and, for those looking to score double points by hitting the recommended two-minute brush time, this toothbrush is programmed to buzz when you need to switch sides or rows, ensuring a thorough and even clean.
SURI Sustainable Electric Toothbrush
Sleek, sonic and sustainable. An award-winning, high performance clean using recyclable components and a slim, durable design.
This bad boy comes armed with an over 40-day battery, ensuring you never have to worry about losing the battery when you least expect it—a feature that definitely impressed me, as I don’t have an accessible plug socket in my bathroom to keep it on charge while it’s not in use. And it’s completely cord-free.
Plus, for those concerned about their toothbrush’s cleanliness, you can grab a compact UV-C Cleaning Case that doubles as a travel case for convenient and clean storage while you’re on the go—which I’ve found really handy when spending weekends away.
The sustainable sonic toothbrush retails for £75 and is available in five colours (I opted for this sleek and chic Winter Fern green). What’s more, if you don’t like the feel of a sonic toothbrush, as it is a dissimilar sensation to your average electric toothbrush, Suri offers a 100-day money-back guarantee. Your toothbrush can be recycled and repurposed with no additional waste put back into the planet.
But don’t just take my word for it – shoppers have queued up to sing the praises of this sustainable gem. One 5-star reviewer beams: “I bought my Suri toothbrush last year in the Black Friday Sale. This being my first electric toothbrush I was unsure of what to expect. I love that it has an inbuilt timer of 2 mins for each cycle so brushing and polishing. My teeth have never been so clean and even my daughter uses it now! It certainly gets her brushing her teeth for 2 minutes.”
More love comes from this customer who gushes: “I was reluctant to switch from using a Philips ultrasonic for the last decade but I made the leap. I was thinking my new Suri toothbrush wouldn’t be strong enough or the brush head wouldn’t work as well. I am very picky. But I am so happy! The Suri works even better!! Is more comfortable, feels better and looks better. Nothing not to like.”
A third shares: “This is hands down the best toothbrush I have used. The only thing better than the toothbrush is their customer service! 10/10 recommend.”
