Speaker 1: Hey there, everybody, welcome.
Speaker 2: We have our seventh gift in our holiday gift guide.
Speaker 2: It is Tuesday, December ninth, and gift number.
Speaker 1: Seven is the Surrey two point.
Speaker 2: Zero electric toothbrush. Maybe it doesn't sound exciting, it doesn't know.
Speaker 3: Another tooth but what was it? We had dental floss and.
Speaker 1: Electric electric flosser too.
Speaker 3: Okay, our iHeart team is trying to tell us something. Yes, right,
Speaker 3: keep sending us things for dental hygiene us gum next.
Speaker 2: I was concerned that, yes, giving this gift could send
Speaker 2: a message. But you and I both got our own toothbrushes.
Speaker 2: Very kind of them to send two over instead of
Speaker 2: just one of us trying it out.
Speaker 3: And they sent us proper colors. We didn't have to
Speaker 3: guess which one was yours and which one was mine. Thanks,
Speaker 3: iHeart yours.
Speaker 1: This black mine is white. Yes, I guess we could
Speaker 1: have mixed it up.
Speaker 3: Why keep it simple?
Speaker 1: Stupid? All right?
Speaker 2: We will tell you what we thought of this particular
Speaker 2: electric toothbrush in just a moment, But first let's get
Speaker 2: to what the company how it describes its product. Suri
Speaker 2: is an electric toothbrush designed to last.
Speaker 3: Say the name again, Suri, How you spell.
Speaker 2: It's spelled like surre s u r i, but it
Speaker 2: specifically tells me that the pronunciation is.
Speaker 3: Sue re surrie. Al right, Suri.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: More than a billion toothbrushes, they say, get thrown away
Speaker 2: each year in the United States, Did you know that?
Speaker 2: But SURI is reimagining oral care with fewer, better, longer
Speaker 2: lasting essentials. So it claims this is an award winning
Speaker 2: toothbrush that features a sleek aluminum body and recyclable plant
Speaker 2: based heads from cornstarch and castor oil bristles, which can
Speaker 2: be returned to SURI for free through their recycling program.
Speaker 2: So if you are very into being or purchasing eco
Speaker 2: friendly gifts, this is certainly among them. It says the
Speaker 2: toothbrush was designed with dentists and delivers thirty three thousand
Speaker 2: sonic vibrations per minute for a powerful clean without unnecessary gimmicks.
Speaker 2: They say the toothbrush is slimmer than other electric brushes
Speaker 2: and the battery lasts this is pretty remarkable for more
Speaker 2: than forty days with one charge.
Speaker 1: Okay, And here is a really cool feature.
Speaker 2: There's a travel case that comes with this toothbrush, and
Speaker 2: it recharges the brush in four hours, and it has
Speaker 2: a built in UVC light that kills they say, ninety
Speaker 2: nine point nine percent of bacteria on the brushhead in
Speaker 2: just one minute. Also included with your gift package is
Speaker 2: a magnetic mirror, a mount that keeps your sink clutter free,
Speaker 2: and the brush has two modes you can do clean
Speaker 2: and polish, plus a two minute timer with thirty second
Speaker 2: haptics that reminds you when to move the toothbrush to
Speaker 2: different parts of your mouth. I guess that might be
Speaker 2: a feature more for kids, not necessary for us adults, right,
Speaker 2: But I.
Speaker 1: Actually had fun brushing.
Speaker 2: I was kind of excited about brushing my teeth last
Speaker 2: night and this morning, and you did your first try.
Speaker 3: Okay, I get it. Where you mentioned a lot of
Speaker 3: really cool features. Okay, it sounds like when you're buying
Speaker 3: a car, they start throwing in new features and all
Speaker 3: of a sudden, the cars the price is going up
Speaker 3: twenty thousand from the sticker. I'm not I don't have
Speaker 3: any idea how much this thing costs, but it sounds
Speaker 3: like might get up there.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: Well, electric toothbrushes, good ones tend to be more expensive.
Speaker 2: That's why they are a good like you would consider
Speaker 2: giving this as a gift to someone you love, or
Speaker 2: maybe even for yourself, because they are pricey, so they
Speaker 2: maybe require a special occasion to purchase. I have to say,
Speaker 2: I'm somebody who has been over the years. I will
Speaker 2: go to CVS and spend fifteen bucks on a vibrating toothbrush.
Speaker 2: I do like the idea of them, but I have
Speaker 2: always gotten the cheap ones period, end of story.
Speaker 1: I never invested in.
Speaker 2: I mean, they last for a long time, probably longer
Speaker 2: than I should keep them years, so.
Speaker 1: Well, at least a year. I mean.
Speaker 2: And you can change the battery too, so you can
Speaker 2: keep the but the bristles, you know you can. I
Speaker 2: guess you can change the heads in some of them.
Speaker 3: But you got me one of those once, and you
Speaker 3: were keeping it as short place, and the entire time
Speaker 3: it was there, I didn't realize it was electric. I
Speaker 3: thought there was a regular toothbrush. I didn't know the
Speaker 3: button was down.
Speaker 2: I think you accidentally pressed it like six months into
Speaker 2: and you're like, WHOA, I didn't realize this toothbrush actually
Speaker 2: was like a moving bristle toothbrush.
Speaker 3: Because those cheepo's, as you say, look like regular toothbrushes,
Speaker 3: and they're small and they just have a little button
Speaker 3: then they get the job done. This one we're talking about
Speaker 3: what we see as electric toothbrushes these days, are these big,
Speaker 3: holy shit packages of big things with batteries, and they're big, chunky.
Speaker 2: Clunky, cry take up a bunch of space on the
Speaker 2: counter and there. And maybe that's one of the reasons
Speaker 2: why I've shied away from it. But if I'm being honest,
Speaker 2: I just never wanted to spend the money. And I
Speaker 2: know that my dentist. I'm sure a lot of folks
Speaker 2: here directly from their dentists saying, hey, if you get
Speaker 2: an electric toothbrush, it actually makes a huge difference in
Speaker 2: terms of the next time you come for your cleaning.
Speaker 2: It's not going to be as painful, there's not going
Speaker 2: to be as much scraping. You're going to have a
Speaker 2: better experience and probably fewer cavities. So my solution to
Speaker 2: that was to go and buy the cheap electric ones
Speaker 2: at CVS.
Speaker 1: And that's how I have always rolled.
Speaker 2: And you don't even do the electric, you just do
Speaker 2: old fashioned, as old school as to get.
Speaker 3: That's what I use and probably why I got problems
Speaker 3: with the dentists often, but we have if we start
Speaker 3: going through our closets, we got five electric toothbrushes sitting
Speaker 3: around because they've been given to us in one way,
Speaker 3: form or fashion from somewhere in someplace that somebody said,
Speaker 3: and we just never use them. I actually hate having
Speaker 3: them sit on the counter and plugged in in chords.
Speaker 3: I don't like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's an issue as well.
Speaker 2: So I haven't set it up yet because I wanted
Speaker 2: to see how we felt about this. But they do
Speaker 2: have and we have a sleek mirror that we can
Speaker 2: put them on and they stick right on the mirror
Speaker 2: and they stay there. And then to charge it, all
Speaker 2: you have to do is go put it back in
Speaker 2: the case. Sounds like once a month and it recharges
Speaker 2: in four hours.
Speaker 3: But the case needs to be plugged in.
Speaker 2: Correct, but not all the time. You would just plug
Speaker 2: it in when you needed to charge it.
Speaker 3: Okay, I have a question. Does the does the thing
Speaker 3: that charged the case that charges the toothbrush? Can it
Speaker 3: be charged itself and you can correct essentially remotely be
Speaker 3: charging yours as you travel if it's in there. Okay,
Speaker 3: Now that's a good feature.
Speaker 2: It's a great feature, and I actually put on the
Speaker 2: blue light and it did feel like that sounds awesome
Speaker 2: to think because it seems gross, especially when you're traveling
Speaker 2: you've got your toothbrush trapped in a case or in
Speaker 2: a plastic baggie. It just feels like that is a
Speaker 2: breeding ground for bacteria. So I love the idea of
Speaker 2: having some you know, a blue light kill all the
Speaker 2: bacteria while it's being transported or while it's staying in
Speaker 2: its case. I think that's a really cool feature that
Speaker 2: makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 3: Okay, again, you're adding up all these features. Now this
Speaker 3: is I'm getting nervous about how much this toothbrush is.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, let me ask you this first though, How
Speaker 2: do your teeth feel? How did it feel brushing with
Speaker 2: that toothbrush?
Speaker 3: You know the highlight that I like electric toothbrushes, even
Speaker 3: though I don't use them, I will absolutely say this
Speaker 3: is the best feeling one I've ever picked up. They
Speaker 3: whatever they've done orgonomically and weight distribution wise, it's something
Speaker 3: about holding this one that feels different. It doesn't feel heavy.
Speaker 3: That was the first thing I noticed.
Speaker 1: Okay, So I felt like it's so funny.
Speaker 2: It felt like like you made a car analogy with
Speaker 2: all the different bells and whistles, but actually it felt
Speaker 2: like like the most luxury vehicle ever.
Speaker 1: Like this, you could tell.
Speaker 2: This just felt like it was doing what it was
Speaker 2: supposed to do, but it felt luxurious while you're doing it.
Speaker 2: I know that sounds crazy, but I enjoyed brushing my
Speaker 2: teeth the last two times, and they feel really good.
Speaker 2: The buzzing it was actually maybe because I get the
Speaker 2: cheap ones and they're kind of harsh. This felt so soft,
Speaker 2: like it was almost tickling my gums, but it was
Speaker 2: doing the job.
Speaker 3: Do you agree, Well, you went from the Pinto of
Speaker 3: toothbrushes to the BMW five series essentially exactly, so yes,
Speaker 3: it's gonna feel better.
Speaker 2: So I loved this toothbrush. I love the way it felt,
Speaker 2: I love the way it looks. I like its leek design.
Speaker 2: I like how it's so lightweight. I love the fact
Speaker 2: that I can get the bacteria off the bristles. There
Speaker 2: was nothing I didn't like about this toothbrush.
Speaker 3: I did have the one question, how often do they
Speaker 3: recommend before you replace those heads?
Speaker 1: That I do not know?
Speaker 3: Generally? Isn't it a matter of months? A couple to
Speaker 3: a few months, take.
Speaker 2: Some time, and like I said, they are actually offering
Speaker 2: you to return the the brush for free and it
Speaker 2: goes into a recycling program. So I'm not I have
Speaker 2: to get into that part of it, but it's a
Speaker 2: cool concept that nothing goes to waste.
Speaker 3: Do they come with replacements?
Speaker 2: Ours did not come with a replacement head, but you
Speaker 2: get a really cool head cover to protect it so
Speaker 2: it lasts for a long time.
Speaker 1: I'll have to check out can I.
Speaker 2: Can get you that answer in the break because I
Speaker 2: don't know how often you need to replace it and
Speaker 2: what that replacement looks like.
Speaker 3: You're talking about this, so we were talking about the
Speaker 3: other thing as a gift, and you need to know
Speaker 3: what you might be requiring somebody to pay for some
Speaker 3: extra heads. Yeah, that was one of the first things
Speaker 3: that came to mind. Sorry, I'm sorry. I jump around
Speaker 3: and I ask questions and I put you in a
Speaker 3: bad spot, and for that I do apologize, But that
Speaker 3: was the first I am so itching to know how
Speaker 3: much this thing costs. And if you all don't know,
Speaker 3: we've been doing these gifts. Robot is kind of in
Speaker 3: charge of them, and I'm finding out about them. A
Speaker 3: lot of times. The first time just when you all
Speaker 3: are so this brush is one of those do they try?
Speaker 3: Is this a company that's been around a while? Is
Speaker 3: this a new product for them necessarily?
Speaker 1: Well, here was what I can tell you.
Speaker 2: This is the two point zh This is the new
Speaker 2: Sonic electric toothbrush from Surrey.
Speaker 1: They have a one point zero.
Speaker 2: So I do know that they've been around at least
Speaker 2: to have a second iteration of this toothbrush.
Speaker 1: But I will tell you this is to me. I
Speaker 1: think a lot of people buy.
Speaker 2: Their gifts based on Amazon reviews, and the Amazon reviews
Speaker 2: are through the roof.
Speaker 1: Here is an idea.
Speaker 2: Ninety four percent of the reviews, and there were a
Speaker 2: lot of them, were either four to five stars. And
Speaker 2: to break it down, eighty one percent of the reviews
Speaker 2: were five stars, thirteen percent were four stars. Only one
Speaker 2: percent of the reviews were bad. And when I look
Speaker 2: to see what those were, it was like they claimed,
Speaker 2: they make it seem like this is made in California,
Speaker 2: but actually it's made in China and the UK, and
Speaker 2: I'm upset about that. Yeah. The other one was that
Speaker 2: they didn't like how the charging head was a specific
Speaker 2: kind of.
Speaker 1: True anyway, it wasn't about the performance.
Speaker 2: It was definitely nitpicking and people who had specific needs
Speaker 2: that weren't being met, not generally speaking. And in fact,
Speaker 2: the reviews like were just by this. This is the
Speaker 2: best best toothbrush, period, full stop. My teeth feels smoother
Speaker 2: and cleaner than after a dentist office cleaning. Other people
Speaker 2: saying I'm buying one for my husband, I'm buying one
Speaker 2: for my kids. So I saw nothing but glowing review
Speaker 2: after glowing review.
Speaker 1: I couldn't find a bad one.
Speaker 2: I had to go and search the one stars and
Speaker 2: there were only three of them, and again very specific.
Speaker 2: I think that speaks of volumes about this product. So
Speaker 2: when we come back, we are going to tell you
Speaker 2: the very highly anticipated answer to TJ's question how much
Speaker 2: does this cost? Where can you purchase it? And will
Speaker 2: tease ahead to tomorrow's gift as well. We're back now
Speaker 2: with our holiday gift guide, and gift number seven is
Speaker 2: the Suriye two point zho electric toothbrush. TJ had a
Speaker 2: lot of questions that I initially could not answer, but
Speaker 2: now I have the answers on the head.
Speaker 3: You know, I apologize. I'll put you on the spot
Speaker 3: I hee, I was throwing stuff back, but I was genuinely.
Speaker 2: Curious you were being the journalist that you are, and
Speaker 2: I do think that a lot of people at home
Speaker 2: probably had the same question. And so yes, you, according
Speaker 2: to the website, should replace your toothbrush head every three months,
Speaker 2: and so you can get three heads for eighteen ninety
Speaker 2: nine on the website. That comes out to about six
Speaker 2: bucks ahead. So basically considering it would be twenty five
Speaker 2: dollars a year for replacement heads. And if you actually
Speaker 2: it comes with the first one. So if you're buying
Speaker 2: this as a gift, if you add it on a
Speaker 2: set of three heads for another nineteen bucks, now you've
Speaker 2: given somebody a tooth brush for a full year that
Speaker 2: they can use. And twenty five dollars a month is
Speaker 2: not a huge investment when it comes to if you
Speaker 2: think about buying toothbrushes and losing. If you just keep
Speaker 2: this one and you're just buying the heads, wait, how
Speaker 2: much is.
Speaker 3: That makes you?
Speaker 1: It would end up costing twenty five bucks a year
Speaker 1: for a year.
Speaker 3: Okay, you said a month.
Speaker 2: For a second, I'm meant to say, yeah, yes, okay,
Speaker 2: six bucks every three months.
Speaker 1: So basically it's twenty five bucks okay for take called.
Speaker 1: That's fairly reasonable.
Speaker 2: Now in terms of the actual price of this electric
Speaker 2: toothbrush to have a guest because you don't know, I.
Speaker 3: Haven't seen the features you added, dad, man, it's hard
Speaker 3: for me to think this thing is too far under
Speaker 3: two hundred dollars.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, you're going to be pleasantly surprised. The retail
Speaker 2: price is one hundred and thirty five dollars.
Speaker 3: Oh, that surprises me.
Speaker 2: Yep. And right now it's fifteen percent off on the
Speaker 2: website on tri Surrey dot com. So it ends up
Speaker 2: being one hundred and five dollars. Go get it, get it,
Speaker 2: and everything's fifteen percent off. Some of the things are
Speaker 2: thirty percent off. They have accessories, they have travel pouches,
Speaker 2: they have toothpaste, they have all sorts of things you'd
Speaker 2: like to do. But I think this is so here
Speaker 2: is my biggest endorsement. I didn't even tell you this.
Speaker 2: I loved it so much. They sent us a few.
Speaker 2: We have one for Sabine. I went ahead and purchase
Speaker 2: too for avan Ana. They will love this. They will
Speaker 2: be excited. They travel a lot and to be able
Speaker 2: to have this The case is so nice that you
Speaker 2: can bring with you. So I think they're gonna love this.
Speaker 2: I really think they're going to be excited when they
Speaker 2: open this up.
Speaker 3: This is how sure we are that your daughters don't
Speaker 3: listen to our podcast that we're just announcing Christmas.
Speaker 1: So here's the deal.
Speaker 2: Ava does listen to our podcast, but I was thinking
Speaker 2: that maybe she wouldn't click on this one because it
Speaker 2: wouldn't seem exciting.
Speaker 1: That's wrong, I'm hoping.
Speaker 2: But I'll find out sure enough in a couple hours
Speaker 2: when she texts me about what she thinks about our podcast,
Speaker 2: if she in fact did listen past the commercial break
Speaker 2: even see that's an extra I'm taking. I waited until
Speaker 2: after the commercial breaks to announce.
Speaker 3: I know Sabine's not going to be listening. So should
Speaker 3: we do we wrap it and put it under the tree.
Speaker 2: Yes, I think we should rap it because I'm going
Speaker 2: to wrap the girls, so we'll put them all under
Speaker 2: the tree.
Speaker 1: I got them pink and blue and got green, exactly.
Speaker 1: I did that on purpose. Everybody white flack.
Speaker 2: I actually made sure all the different colors because we
Speaker 2: do travel together and call.
Speaker 1: Everybody's going to bring the done sweetheart.
Speaker 2: That is good thinking, all right, So we're excited anyway,
Speaker 2: full endorsement from this household. And I really do think
Speaker 2: this is a great gift to give someone again, who
Speaker 2: wouldn't be offended that you were giving.
Speaker 3: Them As of note to people, should be they to
Speaker 3: welcome an increase height, don't give them the ordorant.
Speaker 1: Yes, but this is nice.
Speaker 3: Look those son I bought those things. So those are
Speaker 3: two hundred plus dollar machines, sonic care and whatnot. Great
Speaker 3: and fine, but this is one. You got to run
Speaker 3: out and grab this for fifteen percent off, I would say,
Speaker 3: we're running get this. This is the first one we
Speaker 3: strongly endorsed like this. This is the first one you've purchased. Yes,
Speaker 3: this is the.
Speaker 2: First one I went and got more of because I
Speaker 2: liked it so much to give as a gift for someone.
Speaker 2: So yes, full stamp of approval. Now for tomorrow's gift
Speaker 2: gift number eight. Sorry babe, but this is again something
Speaker 2: for the ladies. I think we have a lot of
Speaker 2: female producers over at iHeart, and they might have been
Speaker 2: thinking with their female brains about what ladies would like.
Speaker 2: So I'm excited to try it out. And TJ you're
Speaker 2: actually going to be able to weigh in on the results.
Speaker 2: So I'm going to use this product today and then
