Any recommendations for an adaptor, or a dual voltage replacement for my Oral b toothbrush?

Is it not dual voltage to start with? Check the range stamped on the adapter.

I'd have expected most to be dual voltage by nature of being intended to run in 110V bathroom shaver sockets; in which case you just need a US travel adapter with the grooved sockets that accept either a shaver plug as well as the UK 3-pin.

[b]IF[/b] your toothbrush is dual voltage.

(TBH, I'd just take a regular manual toothbrush for the sake of a holiday)

Give him a break, he's doing his bit to break the stereotype of Brits having bad teeth.

Hahaha to be honest I can't go back to using a manual these days.

No, it's not dual voltage. I checked this morning.

or you could buy a battery operated one for about £15 from Boots.

are you sure it won't work? Never given any thought to using the 110V or 230V outlets with any of ours.

Have OralB brush myself and it will charge at 110/240 volts no problem. 🙂

There are different models though. Some will, some won't.
