How to check your electric toothbrush
Look for the "Input" rating on the plug, power brick or the handle near the cable:
- 100–240V ~ 50/60Hz – works anywhere in the world with a plug adapter.
- A switch marked 120/230 or 110/220 – dual-voltage: set it to match the country before plugging in.
- 220–240V only – fine in China.

Common questions
Can I use my UK electric toothbrush in China?
China uses 220V, close to the UK's 230V, so your electric toothbrush works normally. You'll need a universal travel adapter.
What voltage is China?
220V at 50Hz. The UK is 230V at 50Hz.
Do I need a voltage converter for my electric toothbrush?
No. The voltage is close enough to the UK's, so you only need a plug adapter if the sockets are different.
