Yes, this toothbrush is partially made from corn — and I tested it for a month (on a single charge)

The Suri Core 1.0 is an eco-conscious toothbrush with a recycled plastic body and corn heads, this time with a budget(er) price of $75.

Yes, this toothbrush is partially made from corn — and I tested it for a month (on a single charge)

When the first Suri toothbrush caught my attention back in early 2025, I initially dismissed it as a corn-based toothbrush. However, with the August 2026 release of the budget-friendly "Suri Core 1.0" priced at $75, I decided to give it a try for a month. At nearly $100 for the budget version, I was hoping for Suri to further reduce the price for subsequent releases.

Although the Suri Core 1.0 is mostly plastic, it does feature recyclable brush heads, making it a more environmentally-friendly option compared to other brands. While the motor speed and pressure sensor are comparable to higher-end models, the Core 1.0 may not be the best choice for those seeking an advanced electric toothbrush.
