"A good useful bit of kit. It has 2 usb type A sockets, which is ideal for my needs. I can now charge my toothbrush in the bathroom without having to go to another room. Not a major problem solved in the scheme of things, but more convenient nonetheless. Package arrived quickly and in one piece."

"Our electric toothbrush failed suddenly, so we had to buy a new one. Of course it’s a new model, with features that some design team presumably think improve it in some way. One is that it no longer has a mains plug, only a USB plug, which we can’t accommodate anywhere.
We needed an adaptor quickly: one that would fit into a tight corner under a shelf. I went to my default browser, Duckduck. Go and started to type.
It took more time than I thought, not least because, as everyone using this website knows, there are different kinds and sizes of two-pin sockets and no consensus as to descriptions that distinguish them. There’s also the question of what each adapts to what, and there's no consensus about how that should be described either. I found a good number of adaptors here, there & everywhere, many of which I didn’t quite trust.
The phrase “shaver socket” turned out to be the key, or a key, anyway. It led me quickly to Electrospares. Net, where I found a clear, unambiguous picture and description of one that made me feel confident. I ordered it; it arrived quickly and safely; it fitted; I plugged it in; it worked; it continues to work.
End, I trust, of story. Thank you, Electrospares.
