Until the batteries recently gave up, I was using a US 120v 50-60 Hz unit plugged into one of those travel adaptor transformers (outside the bathroom). It ran like that for more than three years, and was in use in the US before that. It is certainly not worth the hassle of trying to replace the battery in it, which is all that has failed. Ok for maybe 6 years of continuous use.
Not going into that subject ......
This one still works, but even left permanently plugged in, it slows down about half way through the two-minute period to a speed that doesn't do any good. It's a dead toothbrush, it is on its way to meet its maker. WEEE !!
You are welcome to it, if you want it. It has, as already described up above, been replaced.
Well, mains electric drills could be considered 'bottom end' price wise - but still out perform any cordless. ;-)
I had expected my toothbrush plug to fit in contenental hotel sockets but the socket holes are either too small - or too widely spaced. What is the proper solution?
as discussed earlier in the thread, plugs for 'shaver sockets' are not the same as continental 2 pin. You need a 'smiley' continental adapter like 2nd (pink adapter) and 3rd pics here:

I believe the type of lead is not very easy to connect to a plug as the conductor is like tinsel and cotton (from an old razor experience)
I've not come across that used in mains in a very long time. I dont see how it would be legal nowadays, a 13A fuse would never protect it.

How does it achieve its flexibility - it must be a bit different to a normal flex. I am not going to look!
