What is the point of a plug-in electric toothbrush?? Surely, you`re not supposed to have electric plug sockets in the bathroom so, what`s the point of charging your toothbrush in another room????!!!!LOL

xvx_aceman_xvx replied: "they say electric but they really batterie opperated you couldn't get a big shock off it, as for electric in the bath room you get them 2 small pin plugs for shavers."

lotusdell replied: "that is pretty silly isn't it!!!"

M S replied: "ummm i'm still trying to figure that out...but some people just have it to look....um how would i say it....nicer."

Sarah replied: "i ahd an electric toothbrush for over a year and i realized that there was no point to it and got rid of it."

kikikicombobreaker replied: "I've got a plug in every bathroom, for nightlights, rechargeable shavers, hairclippers, and rechargeable noseclippers."

emily_jane2379 replied: "Using rechargeable batteries is cheaper and more environmentally sound, it also means that if it suddenly runs out of energy you don't have to search through the whole house, find you have no batteries, then run to the shops before you next clean your teeth. Smart, huh!?"

cheekbones3 replied: "It's really not difficult to charge a toothbrush once every couple of weeks in a different part of the house!"

Maggie replied: "plug in the kitchen to charge overnight ,then in the bathroom ,it will last a week or more ,you don`t carry a plug round for your mobile phone do you ?,or don`t you move from where you are charging it !"

libbyft replied: "Once you charge it, it will run for several days - so you only need to overnight charge it once a week in a different room and it saves on buying batteries! Plus it makes your teeth and gums so much cleaner and healthier than a manual brush!! I love my electric toothbrush and really don't have a problem with charging it in my bedroom!!"

ArnieSchivaSchangaran replied: "The point of having Electric Plug Sockets in the Bathroom does not make sense to you ?? Hmm, perhaps you will use a grass Hatchet to shave when you have a acne prone face ?? Perhaps you will use Lawn Mower to shave yourself if you are girl ?? Or perhaps you will decide to become totally natural and not shave at all. Perhaps then you will not think that you do not need Electric Plug Sockets in the bathroom."

clevergirl replied: "Whats the point in electric toothbrushes full stop? That's why we're all so fat now, we can't even be bothered to brush our own teeth! Like self adhesive stamps, did you know licking one stamp will burn one tenth of a calorie?"

Dodgey Jon replied: "Its cheaper than a vibrator!!!"

d s replied: "in newer bathrooms they have electric outlets for many gadgets to make our lives easier. in older bathrooms there weren't the outlets so we used everything manually use the new battery operated toothbrush it's great.."

lauriekins replied: "You can plug them into the little two pin sockets that you use for electric shavers. And if not, charging it elsewhere once every couple of weeks is still going to be more convenient and economical than hunting down fresh batteries."

coolbythepool23# replied: "my kids bought me a recharchable toothbrush in 1998 I have had to buy new heads which I would have had to do anyway and it is still going strong, it is great and I woudn't change it for the world, I get really annoyed when I've forgotten to recharge it, I do have a socket in my bathroom here in spain, don't know why it is so different in England where they don't have sockets in the bathroom, but I think the electric is more powerful in England((everything is earthed in the UK. but only 2 pins in spain so we have sockets in the bathroom), the downside is when everybody is cooking, ie. 8.30 pm or 2.30pm sunday the electricity is real slow. but in the long run rechargeable toothbrushes really pay for themselves."

No shaver socket - where does my electric toothbrush plug in? Hi I have an electric toothbrush and it needs re-charging. The thing is, the charger is supposed to plug into a special shaver socket in the bathroom but I don't have one, so I put a normal plug on the end and plugged it in to a normal socket and nothing happened :( Why do they have to be plugged into shaver sockets and what should i do without one? thanks

achilles500 replied: "You will have to buy a 2 pin to three pin adapter. Only costs a couple of pounds and are available from most electrical stores and B&Q etc."

electric toothbrush plug adapter? I bought a Braun Proffesional care 8900 electric toothbrush yesterday but when i opened it i realised the plug on it is for a bathroom socket (which i dont have). Where can i get an adapter so i can use it with a standard UK 3 prong plug socket? also ive already tried using a European plug adapter with no luck. thanks.

Tom A replied: "if I were you I would call Braun/Oral B they may have some more info for you"

Lana-ember replied: "If Braun cannot help you go to any electrical store for an adapter."

Can I change the plug on my electric toothbrush from UK shaver to US plug? I've got an Oral-B Vitality toothbrush, which plugs into a UK shaver socket. Can I cut off the plug and wire it straight into a US 2 pin plug?

bob replied: "nope..voltage is different in us"

Should I buy a plug-in electric toothbrush or a AA battery operated toothbrush? I am buying an new power toothbrush and am wondering if there are any advantages/disadvantages to buying a AA battery operated one over a plug-in charge one. I don't want an extra device plugged into the bathroom outlet but wonder if this type of toothbrush is better for me.

YOU"RE NEW NEIGHBOR replied: "i would buy a plug in one so you won't waste money on new batteries"

keiko replied: "I think it is personal preference. My husband uses a AA battery toothbrush and has no problems with the batteries running down quickly. I use a rechargeable plug in electric shaver (not on my teeth) and it doesn't hold a charge very well, so I have to keep it plugged in most of the time when I'm home. I looked at one rating site which said that the difference between a $140 electric brush that plugs in and a $10 one with batteries was that the expensive one removed 80% of plaque vs 75% for the cheaper ones. The last time they did comparisons on electric toothbrushes was in 2003, so the prices are out of wack. toothbrushes Shopping.com has some customer ratings with comments on rechargable vs battery. I recommend you buy it at a store with a good return policy, such as Target or Walgreens. Then, if there is a problem, it doesn't hold a charge, etc. you can return it easily. Check their site because sometimes there are coupons or special offers."

ask me replied: "It doesn't matter which one you use. As long as it gets the job done, it's all that matters. But make sure not to use it while plugged in. I know I'd be paranoid about shocking myself in the mouth. It's bad enough in North America with 110 volts, but hell of a lot worse in other parts of the world with 220 volts. From an economic point of view, a plug-in rechargeable one is better, because you don't have keep buying new batteries and polluting the environment when you throw out old ones."

april b replied: "The disadvantage of a battery operated toothbrush is that it performs equally well as a rechargable one when it has NEW batteries. But as the batteries age, you can't realy tell that it isn't doing the job (can you really tell the difference between 15000 and 1500 rotations when it's in your mouth??). The better plug-in models (Sonicare or Oral-B) have pretty long charge times. I plug mine in overnight once a week or so and it holds the charge. They have indicators telling you when to plug it back in. I believe Oral B used to have comparison charts of how well different brushes performed on their website."

C replied: "Plug in electric. I have had both types before and the plug in is much better. After a few uses the battery type will lose it's power. With an electric brush it stays working well every use even when the charge is low."

will i need a special plug, to use my electric toothbrush/shaver in spain? I know i will need adaptor plugs for other appliances, but my electric toothbrush (same as a electric shaver plug) has a 2 pin plug, will i be able to plug it into the wall in spain?...or will i need a adaptor?,if so what sort of adapter? cheers

vlaundon2002 replied: "YEAH U NEED A 2 PIN PLUG CAN GET UM FROM MOST SHOPS LIKE DIXONS AND THAT ABOUT £5 BUT WORTH BUYING"

Amu K replied: "yes u do i have been to india"

Megan O replied: "yes you do, they're two pin plugs and are fairly cheap"

Tab Guy replied: "go to radio shack."

Peter K replied: "So, where do you come from? Some hotels will have universal shaver points able to fit two terminal round pins or flat pins. The standard there is CEE7 VII. Your gadgets will also need to be able to work at 220V or they will be wrecked."

John C replied: "maybe, depends on the hotel. Some have 120 volt outlets some don't . You may need an adapter to adjust both the plug and the voltage. If your toothbrush has a 120/220 switch, all you need is the plug adapter. If it doesn't, you may need a voltage adapter or transformer as well."

StephenWeinstein replied: "European electricity is a different frequency (50 Hz; the U.S. has 60 Hz), as well as a different voltage. A transformer changes the voltage but not the frequency. I know a guy who says that his electric shaver does not work well on European electricity, even with a plug adapter. A cordless model with rotating head and internal batteries should be fine with the proper adapter and transformer. The frequency is only a probably for shavers that run the A.C. directly into the handheld buzzing gizmo."

Hung Lowe replied: "si! stores like Sharper Image sell electric plug adaptors that can be used worldwide! An adaptor where you can plug your appliances, toothbrush,electric shavers, etc... then you just plug in the adaptor in the wall socket in the country that you are in! Gute Reisen! Bon Voyage!"

translatorinspain replied: "Yes you can plug your two pin electric toothbrush into the plug sockets in Spain,if you are from U.K. Enjoy your holiday."

jane d replied: "yes you will iv just come back and i didnt bother taking my adapter because i thought the point was the same as there plugs but its slightly different .so make sure you take it and it will just plug in to your british adapter which then fits into the spanish wall plug and also use spanish toothpaste when your over there with there water as your teeth end up feeling unclean x"

hilverchas replied: "Both toothbrushes and shavers can be run from a basic 2 pin plug in spanish hotels/houses/apartments. I bought my toothbrush from the UK, it was fitted with a 2 pin plug and works great, our many visitors bring shavers etc., and they have no trouble at all. You can also buy plugs here..............2 pin to 3, and vice versa, but you should'nt have any trouble."

dubie replied: "You can actually use your 2 pin plug electric shaver anywhere in the world! Electric shavers are made with 2 pin plugs/all shaver sockets in hotels have 2 pins for that purpose. Even in the UK, shaver sockets have 2 pins and I have recently discovered that you can use your Spanish telephone charger in them too! Now the question is why don't they use 2 pin plugs for everything and 2 pin sockets for everything everywhere in the world so that we can all move around freely without having to buy adaptors!"

Ana replied: "I think u will need an adaptator.... the kind of adapter... no idea of the name but if u go to some shop in Uk or here in Spain and ask for it, sure u´ll get it without problems... At least thts what i did when i went Nz and Ireland... and ppl in shop sold me the adptators easily. Ciao"

electricity? when you leave your phone charger or electric toothbrush charger plugged in with the phone or? toothbrush removed, is this still using up units of electricity ie are you being billed for this

Sal*UK replied: "Yes, a very very low current is still running."

little devil replied: "They reckon so"

Shona J replied: "Yes it's on standby. Could use up to three quarters as much as in use"

Carla A replied: "yes you are very minutely however it isnt very good for the environment."

tim h replied: "Yup. Got to keep on our toes to keep on top of it."

Helen B replied: "I think so, because even though its running on a low current the current is still live. ie you have not switched it off from the main plug socket."

plug-in electric toothbrushes? Hi everybody, do they make plug-in electric toothbrushes? I mean those that will plug in directly into the wall outlet instead of running on disposable or rechargeable batteries? Thank you very much for taking time to answer my question, Sincerely, Rojin

JerryB replied: "yeh i have 1 bought it from supermarket"
