About this deal

I have a multi-travel adaptor bought at an airport that accepts my UK bathroom plug without problem. But I also have 2 different ones that will not accept it, but they will accept the Euro-plug.(these are the large adaptors that can be used for multiple countries by extending different pin configurations out of the body It is very detailed and legally correct description of why we have 2 pin plugs on electric toothbrushes.

Europlugs are only designed for low-power (less than 2.5A) ClassII (double-insulated) devices that operate at normal room temperature and do not require a protective-earth connection. Using the travel form the UK to the USA again, the ‘Step Up’ voltage converter has the 2 pin US connector on it, but actually offers up a 3 pin UK power adapter. However your toothbrush has the 2 pin adapter, so although you are travelling to the USA, you will need the 2 pin to 3 pin adapter. Why are 2 to 3 pin adapters not included with my electric toothbrush or shaver? In the UK the mains electricity that you connect your appliances and gadgets into works on 240 volts. This is a high voltage and can cause serious injury and death if you were to touch a live electrical line.This section needs additional citations for verification.

For example, connect and charge your toothbrush, when that is done, connect and charge your shaver or other appliance. Your comments

Most electric toothbrushes bought in the UK and Europe have charging stands that work on 220-240V. So to use them in the USA, you need a power converter to allow the charging stand to accept the 110V. Some electric toothbrushes have charging stands that will support 110-240V meaning you will not need the voltage converter. The Philips Sonicare DiamondClean is one example. Do your research on the voltage in a particular country to ensure you are getting the right converter.a b c European Standard EN 50075: Flat non-wirable two-pole plugs, 2.5A 250V, with cord, for the connection of class II-equipment for household and similar purposes. CENELEC, Brussels, 1990. So, technically....... if the shaver plug is based on the old BS546 plug, if I could find a round to square pin adaptor I could use that instead?
