Our Verdict
Apart from its sustainable features, the big selling points of the Suri 2.0 are how beautifully it’s made and how pleasant it is to use. Throw in a battery life of well over a month, USB charging, a slim UV-light cleaning travel case and all the necessary brushing features and you have an electric toothbrush that can rival any model out there. No, it’s not cheap – but you do get a lot for your money.

Best Prices Today: Suri 2.0 electric toothbrush
The Suri 2.0 is available in the UK direct from Suri or Boots for £105, travel case included. This is an increase of £10 from the £95 it would set you back if you were to buy the original Suri and its case. But you can buy the original Suri alone for £75, from the brand’s website.
There’s been a similar jump in price in the US, where the original brush starts at $95 from Suri, while the brush and case together costs $119.
So, is it worth spending a bit more for the new model? I’d say it is. The second, more intense brushing mode gives the 2.0 wider appeal. Plus, the pressure sensor is a helpful addition for anyone who tends to brush too hard. The fact that you can also sanitise your brush head in its case without having to plug it in is a handy feature.
The Suri 2.0 isn’t the cheapest electric toothbrush on the market. However, when compared to the best electric toothbrushes we’ve tested, especially the similarly-featured Oral-B iO line, you get a lot for your money with the Suri 2.0. Granted there are no smart features or screen, and only two brushing modes, but the long battery life, high-quality build, USB charging and UV-cleaning travel case more than make up for it.
Should you buy the Suri 2.0?
While I think that Oral-B makes excellent electric toothbrushes, the Suri 2.0 has the brand beat in a number of ways.
For a start, the best electric toothbrush is going to be one that people actually stick with. And the Suri 2.0 is a very pleasant brush to use. It’s quiet, easy to manoeuvre around your mouth and comfortable to hold. This makes it a good option for people who haven’t been able to use other electric toothbrushes as they find them too loud or jarring.
I’ve never been able to get my husband to use an electric toothbrush: he just hates them. But this model has changed his mind and he’s been happily using it for a month.
Then there’s the fact that it’s so simply and attractively designed, with every feature you need to take good care of your teeth. And it’s convenient too, with its long battery life and USB charging.
But what’s really notable is that it’s all of those things, beyond its headline feature of sustainability.
