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.....

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.

It is a charger base, but you would expect to be able to use it in the
bathroom safely and that it would have a two pin plug and work from the
shaver point.
or am I missing something here.....

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?

There's thought! You wouldn't have to worry about re-charging that, 'cos
after a single use you'd only have gums left!g

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 ....




no sense of humour.....pedantic........
