Many thanks for your clear explanation. I was getting a little concerned about a Philips Sonicare being on its first charge for about 18 hours and the green charging light still blinking, so knowing that it can take longer reassures me. Thanks again.😊
Oral B kids toothbrush has no charging light. Why not add a tiny light to the toothbrush to show it is charging. This is on most products that charge. Why not on this toothbrush. Come on designers, give us a helpful and reassuring little light that turns from red to green to tell us when it is fully charged. Fun for the kids too!
Should the handle be somewhat loose when placed on the charging post? So obviously it fits on, but it doesn't feel fully plugged in as it wobbles when I pick the charging unit up and the handle can still be twisted around while on the post. Also is it necessary for the brush head to be there when charging?
There will be some play/wobble when fitted. They don't usually sit on the stand with a really tight fit. You can remove the brush head, you do not need to have it attached when charging Warrick.
Thanks for the information! I was already wondering, but that is just how it works. Because it didnt fit tight i thought it wouldnt charge and hence i turned it the other side, what leads to a very tight fit. Not smart as i could have damaged the brush 😅
Thank your for this explanatory video. I bought my electric toothbrush this afternoon but I couldn't fin any information on the charging. I would like to know if I can use the device in Italy with an italian plug. Please, I need help to buy the right adaptor. I hope to get a reliable reply. Thanks in advance

Thank you for the informative video! It was great to learn more about the process, I'm on my 2nd electric brush moved from Oral B vitality to Oral B 570. The vitality was not too informative as there are no indicators for charging or anything so I was always wondering if it was charged! I am hopeful that the new 570 will be better, I had it charging since 5pm yesterday overnight and its still charging according to the flashing light! Gonna hold strong until its done, at least I know more info thanks to your video! 🙏
Charging mine on an old Samsung Galaxy smartwatch pad because I lost the charger for my Sonicare. Also seems to work on my 15w phone charging pad, but the green light flashes at different speeds, depending on where I put it on the pad.
Why is it that toothbrush charging is shown being plugged into, via a two pin adapter, a standard 13A wall socket and not an above sink bathroom shaver socket (which would be the obvious place to recharge)?
I am not familiar with this model to be able to comment too much I am afraid. If the images of the brush are anything to go by, there does appear to be a charge light that should give some feedback.
No. Normally they come with a 2 pin plug for UK bathrooms. If you want to connect to a 3 pin UK socket, you will need a 2 to 3 pin plug adapter. You can usually buy these online or in an electrical store for less than £5.
I bought a Trisa Pro Clean electric toothbrush, and there's no light, no icon, nothing shows that its charging. How can I know if it's charging or not?
My new Vitality 100 stopped charging after 1 month of use. No damage done or nothing. I used it normally as it stopped after the battery completely drained out. I put it on charging but it's not working. I tried the button on-off thing mentioned on website but no use. I charged it after complete drainage last time too and it started working after a minute of charging but not this time even when I have charged it for whole night Please tell me what I can do
I am sorry to hear this. I can't comment on support in India. If it was stocked and sold locally I would have thought there would be some support. Perhaps check with the seller who you bought it from?
@@ElectricTeeth I skeptically contacted the brand and they gave me a total refund. So genuine support, quite contrary to that I heard in reviews on Amazon. Thanks for your suggestions, motivated me to take the action 😃
The iO Series (the iO6 being the exception) has its own charger and no alternative available. I guess technically it is possible for an alternative charger to be made, but I can't advise on the specs needed.
Need a bit more info to understand what you have. I am guessing you have Philips Sonicare, perhaps with the charging glass/puck? You've lost the bit with the connected charging cable?
Is it possible to use a wireless cellphone/electronics charging base/disc to charge this toothbrush or is there very specific watts needed to charge the toothbrush?
Technically yes, it works with some brushes. But from my limited testing, it does not always work and seems inefficient, particularly if the brush you are trying to charge would usually have a pin on the stand that fits into the base of the brush. In other words, best stick to using the original charger if you can.
@@ElectricTeeth thanks! Unfortunately I left my charger at home and am in a country that does not sell any charger for my brush...so just thinking of alternatives. But its the Philips sonicare hx9924 so semi new...🤷🏾♀️
I have Oral-b io 8 series toothbrush without magnetic charging base. I am looking to buy one, but I can't find it. Oral-b company does not sell spare parts for "io" series. Is there any way to charge my toothbrush .
Oral-B are not currently selling spare parts like chargers for the iO, but we do expect these to be available in the coming weeks and months. You could try a wireless charging pad that you might use for the likes of a smartphone. You want a Qi wireless pad. However I can't give any assurances on if or how well it might charge, but it is a possible solution.
It depends on the brand and model, but as a general rule the average life would appear to be 5+ years. Some complain of brushes failing sooner whilst others have had their electric toothbrush 10+ years.
I bought the GUM POWERCARE brush. I put the handle on the charger which is plugged into electrical outlet, but no green battery light starts flashing and no charging occurs. Only the handle started tingling quietly. What should I do?
I have not used this product to comment. Is it fully charged already? Sometimes if the battery is flat it can take 30-60 minutes for the charge to kick in and the lights to come on with some models. Best to check with the manufacturer in this instance.
In theory no as most have technology built-in that will stop the toothbrush charging once it gets to 100%. There are differences of opinion, but many would suggest, it is best not to keep topping the battery up all the time. So, use it for a week for example so the battery runs down a little before recharging, rather than recharging it fully after every use. You can sit it on the stand when not in use, but perhaps unplug it.
After brushing your teeth twice a day(once in the morning and once in the evening). You can charge the brush overnight, and after you wake up your Oral b Electric Toothbrush will be full charge again.
I have been putting my ORAL-B type 4736 (which I believe has a NiMH battery) back on it's charging stand after every use and the toothbrush has been working fine for over a decade.
@@ray32825 thanks for this tip. I live in hope that it will work, provided we are all still here in 10 years of course, I can live in hope for that too!!

Exact specs and features can change from location to location, but this model doesn't have any lights etc. It should have just 1 cleaning mode so it should be fairly simple to use. There is no battery charge light, so there is no way of knowing it needs recharging until the brush head slows or stops. There is too no way of knowing when the battery is fully charged. It usually takes about 16 hours or so. If you have a specific question, let us know and we will try to help.

@@ElectricTeeth thats what i ended up doing and it works now :) it required a 16hr charge so i was wondering if i did something wrong but it was just faulty lol
There are some replacement charging stands that have a USB connector on them. They are not made by the brands themselves but by third party's. Amazon and eBay are great places to look for these.
I believe most of them have a USB cable that connects to the base of the brush handle. That said some do come with charging stands. Presumably you bought via Amazon? Have you tried reaching out to the original seller on there to ask?
Entirely up to you. The head can be attached or detached from the handle when you charge. The attachment of the head has no bearing on the charging of the toothbrush.
