Buy a good make? I haven't noticed a hum from MK ones I've fitted over the last decade. Fit a non-isolating one in the bedroom with the toothbrush permanently plugged in there, and then lift it off as you go into the bathroom, returning it afterwards.
Another point about isolating ones when using chargers with them They are allowed to output up to V off-load, and most chargers draw so little they are going to see nearly the off-load voltage. If the charger is a wide voltage range one, it's probably better for it to be running on the V socket.
Electric toothbrushes don't need charging more than once or twice a week, so we have a charger on the landing. I cut the shaver plug off my Braun and fitted a normal 3A fused plug, keep it outside the bathroom and put the toothbrush back on charge after use.
Is it important? The only time I sleep in the bathroom is when I'm pissed and fall asleep on the bog - in which case, I'm beyond caring -- geoff.
I wonder how many people do as I did? Put a 13amp socket sort of out of reach in the bathroom. Battery life will be drastically shortened if it is continuously charged on a typical dumb charger. We tend to leave ours in the bathroom, only putting it on the charger outside the bathroom when it needs charging - about once a week with two of us using it. I got annoyed with Braun when they altered the hole in the toothbrush body so that it no longer fitted the wall mounted charger that they used to supply.
That would be because the old one wouldn't work properly with the new one. I bet you would have been just as annoyed when something broke if they left it the same. Yes if that was the case - but I guess it was cost reduction - but I wish they had continued with a wall mountable one.
You are perfectly free to install a 16A socket and a normal light switch in a bathroom. Suitable for the conditions was presumably introduced later, though one could argue that before that the good workmanship provisions would do much the same thing. The fact that people nearly always installed a pull cord switch inside, or an ordinary switch outside, bathrooms in the UK was a function of it "being the done thing" and the small size of many bathrooms.
This was presumably introduced at some time and was I imagine not in the First Edition. I am now going through the whole chasing my builder to get hold of the electric company who installed it - which is proving very tedious.
My electric toothbrush is the same, it hums loudly when plugged into our ensuite bathroom's shaver socket. I can hear it in the bedroom when we're trying to sleep, so I don't leave it plugged in overnight anymore.
I'm going to buy a new socket for ours. Dicky transformer sounds quite likely from your description, could quite easily cause a fire. Don't take your chances with it. ETA: buy an adapter for your toothbrush charger, that way you can charge it from a normal socket.

Quick links. Logout Register. Sounds like a slack connection or normal transformer function however you may find, as its been installed in the unit its echoing the vibration , I would assume that the bathroom fitters done the electrical work which majority of them do, may need to relocate or re-terminate and or buy a better shaver point to solve this issue.
I was due to have a freestanding duel fuel cooker installed to replace my gas one. But when they delivered it they said although I Hi, Some smart person who own the house before us put double pattern box with divider in middle and install 2 single gang I had some work done by an "electrician" I'm doubting his qualifications after this , but he has spurred a series of three Hi there - currently soundproofing party walls, however some walls have sockets on them.
