We have been bought a Sonic Plakaway electric toothbrush. I thought that an electric toothbrush should be suitable to use in the bathroom, but this unit comes with a three pin fused plug, which I thought was not safe in a bath/shower room. Could someone put me right as as to whether this is safe to use in a bath/shower room. Cheers.....

Do you have a plug socket in the bathroom?
Is the toothbrush itself mains powered, or is the mains simply for the battery charger? If the latter, charge it in your bedroom and use it in your bathroom.
bathroom safely and that it would have a two pin plug and work from the shaver point. or am I missing something here.....
The message from "TWEEZER" contains these words:
You're trying to apply logic to a situation that's not amenable to it :-)
If you look at the thing with the power lead, and the three pin plug, what wattage or amperage does it say on it?
Shaver points can only supply a small amount of power, maybe your toothbrush needs more than the average shaver socket can provide, so they stuck a "normal" plug on it?
Made in China. Mr Wong in QA knows UK (EU?) law means all electric appliances must come with plugs. Mr Wong checks what plugs are used in the UK. Mr Wong sees that 3-pin is standard. Mr Wong tells factory to put 3-pin plugs on chargers.
Actually, you see, it is very logical ....
you mean a sort of SDS toothbrush?
Owain
Or new Ann Summers range?
There's thought! You wouldn't have to worry about re-charging that, 'cos after a single use you'd only have gums left!
no sense of humour.....pedantic........
