About this deal

I have a multi-travel adaptor bought at an airport that accepts my UK bathroom plug without problem. But I also have 2 different ones that will not accept it, but they will accept the Euro-plug.(these are the large adaptors that can be used for multiple countries by extending different pin configurations out of the body The staff in Boots are wrong too. The Genius 9000 is the model they are talking about here. It has a travel case, which has a USB port on it. However, this USB port is like a pass-through power port and does not accept the charge into the case itself.

There is good reason behind the 2 pin adapter, I will now explain this and I promise I won’t get too technical. Ooh look, first post. Not a proper lurker any more. Had to happen sooner or later, I suppose. Top lurking!If you're using a UK appliance abroad you can use a UK to EU plug adapter as most have the round pin spacing on them. I've never seen an EU to UK bathroom adapter. The 1 amp fuse is a lot shorter than my standard 3 amp and 5 amp fuses otherwise I would simply change the fuse and see if that worked. a b c European Standard EN 50075: Flat non-wirable two-pole plugs, 2.5A 250V, with cord, for the connection of class II-equipment for household and similar purposes. CENELEC, Brussels, 1990. 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.

No, not quite. A 2 pin plug found on an electric toothbrush or shaver has pins that are closer together than a traditional 2 pin EU mains adapter. 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. Europlugs are only designed for low-power (less than 2.5A) ClassII (double-insulated) devices that operate at normal room temperature and do not require a protective-earth connection. 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? Do your research on the voltage in a particular country to ensure you are getting the right converter.It is very detailed and legally correct description of why we have 2 pin plugs on electric toothbrushes.
