Product Information

This is a good question and one I have often thought about myself. Including an adapter in the box would be a nice addition. Why is replacing a shaver plug the most obvious answer for charging outside a bathroom? (genuine question).

Some electric toothbrushes have charging stands that will support 110-240V meaning you will not need the voltage converter. The Philips Sonicare DiamondClean is one example.Using the travel form the UK to the USA again, the ‘Step Up’ voltage converter has the 2 pin US connector on it, but actually offers up a 3 pin UK power adapter. However your toothbrush has the 2 pin adapter, so although you are travelling to the USA, you will need the 2 pin to 3 pin adapter. Why are 2 to 3 pin adapters not included with my electric toothbrush or shaver? Not an electrician in any sense of the word… just want my toothbrushes to charge and can’t find a “shaver” 2 pin to 3 pin adapter sold now which doesn’t have the extra short 1 amp fuse.

Strictly speaking, from an Oral-B perspective, there is no option for this at this time. So you cannot charge your current electric toothbrush from a USB port within your van.

I would say the hassle of rewiring a plug vs obtaining an adapter is less for many? Is it really safer? To be honest, I would have done the same thing. Aside from the 2 pin AUS power connector, the UK voltage is very similar and will have likely been supported by your charging stand.

Ooh look, first post. Not a proper lurker any more. Had to happen sooner or later, I suppose. Top lurking! You are best powering or charging each device independently as and when you need it. For example, connect and charge your toothbrush, when that is done, connect and charge your shaver or other appliance. Your commentsMost electric toothbrushes bought in the UK and Europe have charging stands that work on 220-240V. So to use them in the USA, you need a power converter to allow the charging stand to accept the 110V. There is good reason behind the 2 pin adapter, I will now explain this and I promise I won’t get too technical.
