SURI Toothbrush Review

[@elmsbetty]

Great review mate. Few quick hacks to work around the issues you mentioned: - If you want to use the UV light but don't want the toothbrush to charge (per their recommendation), you can just slip a small piece of paper between the bottom of the toothbrush and the case's contact points - then it won't charge with the case plugged in, but the UV can still be turned on. (An even easier solution is just to remove the body of the brush from the case and put in the head in there, but then you'd have to keep it somewhere else.) - With the mirror issue, it's one of those adhesives that comes off if you apply a bit of heat. Suri's suggestion on their website is to use a hairdryer and then a credit card or something thin to ply it off. You then just have to buy a new 3M adhesive which is pretty easy to find. It worked for me.

I thought it quite old lithium battery tech that had the memory effect and where you needed to run it down fully and then charge to full to maintain maximum battery capacity (knowing that it will still decline gradually with use)? Maybe that's what they use? It wouldn't be totally surprising that to keep a price point they were using a fairly basic battery but if a weekly sterilisation only takes a month off your battery life and that is measured in years is it that big of a deal? It also raises the question of how often one would really need to disinfect the toothbrush head? I suspect some might overdo this for no real beneft? It would be interesting for someone to test if doing regular 10-15 min charges within a larger charge cycle has a significant effect on long term battery life and health? I suspect it might not make that much difference, while maybe charging to full once a week might induce some sort of memory effect deterioration (hence their charging advice) but that is pure guesswork.

Thank you very comprehensive review. Clear and helpful. And it’s good to know about the mirror mount. I’m wondering if your problem might be solved by double sided tape?

I ordered a new mirror mount to replace the one I removed incorrectly. Thankfully someone else left a comment that I should heat the adhesive up first before removing next time.

Nice review! I agree about the proprietary charger and also the fact that it is USB-A and the travel case is USB-C 🤦🏼‍♂ I didn't personally get the travel case but I was also under the impression it had a built in battery. Just received mine yesterday after their Prime Day sale with 25% off! I think it's really cool being able to post back the brush heads. For repairs they say to send them in but it would be really nice if we could just replace the battery for example on our own at home, cheaper and more sustainable!

Happy you are enjoying it! I still love mine and getting it on sale makes it an even better deal.

Thank you so much for being so detailed and thorough in your review. Also yeah that's weird about the UV case that will charge it. Especially if it will be "the last toothbrush you own" im a little disappointed because i wabted the black one, but i will make note of that. Beats my burst that died a year in.

I totally forgot that is their slogan. Big shoes to fill for sure.

Love Suri. My dental check-ins also concur. I've had this for half an year and like it aside from a couple negatives that you mention. The case doesn't come with a rechargeable battery so it essentially acts as a fancy UV cleaner case, which you run for a minute. Not a travel case. So far I haven't used the charge stand or mirror mount. I agree that it's longer than expected and does not fit my dopp kit. Also, not being in the US or the UK, which are part of its recycling program, is also...not great. The sustainable concept sold me as someone who never and was hesitant switching to an electric toothbrush. They also have frequent sales, which is nice, given that you need to repurchase the heads.

Thank you for a very thorough review..

[@dzzthink3655]

Preferably you should actually use it in the video so that viewers can understand more about user experience

[@AllenFern24]

Thanks for sharing this review! In your research/experience, did you happen to come across if Suri is being reviewed for an ADA seal?

[@graysontate_]

I actually did not, but that is a great idea.

[@natasabrandt21]

Excellent....

[@karenbradshaw726]

Great review 🙏 Did you say Suri no longer exists as a company? Not going to be able to get repairs then….

[@martindeblocq1020]

Think you need to listen again!!🧐

I am so sick of sustainability as a sale point. I want a product that works.
