Is a sustainable toothbrush too much to ask for?

These days, I feel like most of thebest electric toothbrushesare a logistical nightmare.

So a sustainable toothbrush is what I wanted, and a sustainable toothbrush is what I got.

This week, Ireviewed the Suri toothbrushand gave it a near-perfect 4.5-star rating.

What prevented it from hitting that dreamy 5-star score?

Well, at $125 (with the UV charging travel case), it’s pretty expensive.

Or, that’s the idea.

I’ll attempt to update my review in 2080 with my lifetime verdict.

What perfect timing the Suri brush is on sale right now.

And the best part?

It’s supposed to be the last toothbrush you’ll ever buy.

I wrote a whole story last week explaining whyI’m so sick of smart tech.

My old toothbrush had AI and Wi-Fi, and at first I thought that was so cool.

I loved getting an AI-generated brushing report and seeing a 3D graphic of my mouth.

But when I think about it, do Ireallyneed a toothbrush that connects to my phone?

Do I really need a hairdryer that connects to my phone?

Heck, what’s next a water bottle that syncs your sipping speed to your phone via Bluetooth?

So I found the Suri brush a breath of fresh air.

The Suri brush is made from completely recyclable and sustainable materials, too.

Gone are the brushes leaden with enough plastic to make a Tupperware factory jealous.

The brush body is made from aluminum, and the brush head is made from cornstarch.

But wait there’s more.

However, true zero waste/sustainability is logistically impossible to achieve.

Hey, I’m not perfect.

I drive a gas-powered car and I’ve an ancient gas fireplace in my (rented) apartment.

They will be recycled and made into new brush heads thanks to Suri’s free-of-charge recycling scheme.

Now I’ve found the Suri brush, I won’t be going back to my AI-enabled smart toothbrush.

Why does a toothbrush need Wi-Fi anyway?
