Philips Sonicare DiamondClean Review

Hardware

Electric toothbrush technology usually falls into one of two camps: either you have actively wiggling, sliding or rotating bristles, or some sort of high-speed vibration. Philips’ Sonicare system falls into the latter category, promising the equivalent of 31,000 brush strokes per minute with its patented diamond-shaped bristles.

It’s worth noting that this is the UK version of the DiamondClean, and the US package may differ slightly. Still, both give you a decent range of accessories, certainly more than we’re used to seeing from a regular toothbrush. The DiamondClean itself is a fairly long, slightly tapering matte white rod, with a single power button and – only revealed when it’s turned on – a column of mode lights and a battery status indicator. It’s easily held and weighted relatively evenly along its length. Philips throws in a pair of brush-heads, which slot on easily, along with a hard-sided carry case with room for the toothbrush and both brush-heads.

What sort of adaptor do I need for a rechargeable toothbrush?
[2010-08-10 06:48:07]

I live in England and am at university in Holland and I was wondering if it's possible to buy an adaptor for my toothbrush charger so I can take it with me and use it while I'm there.

I've tried looking online but I can't find anything


The voltage is the same in the UK and the Netherlands, so your only problems might be the shape of the plugs.
As far as I know are the shaver plugs in the UK the same as either the European two round pin, plugs or the same as the USA two flat pins

I have 'for-shaver only' adaptor on non shaver appliciances.?
[2010-12-04 15:13:32]

I have 'for-shaver only' adaptor used to charge an automatic tooth brush and was wondering if I can use it for iron which is from Vietnam.

Here is what it says on the ADAPTOR:
- fused
- 1A
- 250V~
- For shaver-only


Your first consideration must be SAFETY

The adaptor you refer to has only two pins to connect with the mains supply so no safety Earth connection can be made for any appliance connected via these plugs.
