Default Inverter & Shaver

Hi all,

Further to my recent question regarding recharging my shaver from a UPS
and the subsequent suggestion (amongst others) to get an inverter
instead, I decided that while the little ones were so cheap, I would
get one.

Trouble is, now i've bought it and had it delivered it has somethng
inthe instructions to say that it's not recommended to connect it to
shavers which connect directly to the mains for recharging as they can
be damaged by the inverters modified sine wave output.

This is a Statpower Powerbook 75i which is usually sold for powering
Laptops etc.


Does anyone have any ideas whether this would work ok with a Philishave
rechargeable razor, or any idea why it might damage said razor when
it's apparently ok for SMPSs and or wall wars driving low voltage
re-chargeable razors?

I can't see what could be different in the Philishave?
