We put the SURI UV Light Clean & Charge Case to the test and found it to be a standout option for style-conscious and sustainability-minded users.

Annually, over 4 billion toothbrushes are discarded, contributing to a significant environmental problem. SURI aims to change that by offering a sustainable, travel-friendly electric toothbrush for those who prioritise eco-friendly choices without compromising on performance.

We put the SURI UV Light Clean & Charge Case to the test and found it to be a standout option for style-conscious and sustainability-minded users.

Portability

The SURI toothbrush is sleek and portable, making it ideal for travel. The UV travel case not only protects the brush but also sterilises it, eliminating 99.9% of bacteria in just one minute—an essential feature for those on the go.

Sustainability

SURI’s commitment to sustainability is evident in its design. The brush heads are made from plant-based corn starch, and the bristles are crafted from castor oil, reducing the need for petroleum-based plastics. The toothbrush’s aluminium body ensures durability while being fully recyclable. SURI even offers a free recycling service for used brushes and a subscription option for biannual brush head deliveries.

Battery Life

The toothbrush impresses with a battery life of up to 40 days on a single charge, making it perfect for business travellers or extended trips.

Performance

While it may not be as powerful as some oscillating head toothbrushes, the SURI still delivers efficient cleaning through its strong vibrations. The toothbrush prompts users to brush at a 45-degree angle using small circular motions, pausing every 30 seconds to signal a switch to a new section and automatically turning off after the dentist-recommended two minutes.

Colours

The sleek, slim design of the SURI toothbrush comes in four matte shades—charcoal grey, off-white, Morning waves, and Winter Fern. We tested the Winter Fern version, which was both stylish and modern.

Charging

The UV Clean and Charge case does not have a built-in battery but charges via a durable USB 2.0 to USB-C cable. With up to 40 days of battery life, it’s TSA-safe and perfect for travellers. The subtle charging light makes it suitable for bedside use without being intrusive.

The SURI UV Light Clean & Charge toothbrush offers a fantastic combination of sustainability, portability, and performance. Its eco-friendly materials, sleek design, and practical features make it a great choice for those who care about reducing their environmental impact while maintaining good oral hygiene on the go. Ideal for style-conscious, eco-conscious travellers, SURI strikes a balance between function and sustainability.
