Possibility
of mounting the device on the wall.
The design of the mount for these devices depends on the device type (as mentioned earlier) and how it's typically used. In the case of most toothbrushes, which are typically self-powered, they come with a wall-mounted stand that also functions as a charger. Some irrigators and dental centers follow a similar setup, but many of these devices are designed for stationary use and have a larger main unit to which a handle with a nozzle attaches. In such models, the wall mount is designed to accommodate the entire main unit.
Wall installation offers a significant advantage by saving shelf space, which is particularly beneficial in tight spaces. However, this installation method entails additional preparatory work, which can be somewhat challenging. Furthermore, not all wall mounts facilitate easy removal and installation of the device, making it less suitable for situations where you frequently need to take the toothbrush or irrigator with you on trips.
The ability to charge the battery in the device from a standard USB port.
Refer to the "Type of power" section for battery details.
Charging via USB offers several advantages over traditional mains charging. The primary benefit is the widespread availability of USB ports in computers, laptops, tablets, and various electronic devices. USB connectors are standard outputs in portable power banks, and USB adapters can convert 230V socket and car cigarette lighter socket outputs. This power source allows you to charge your toothbrush or irrigator not only from mains power but also from various other sources, even when sockets are unavailable, such as from a laptop or a power bank. This is particularly convenient during travel.
Another notable aspect of this charging method is that it often eliminates the need for a dedicated charger. All you need is a basic cable to connect the toothbrush or irrigator to a USB port. Typically, such a cable is included with the device, and the device itself features a standard microUSB port for power connection. This flexibility allows you to use alternative cables if needed, which are compatible with the plug type, making it more convenient and adaptable.
However, it's important to mention that these standard sockets on the device are not well-suited for use with charging stands, as discussed in the "Additionally in the kit" section. Consequently, some toothbrushes and irrigators
...that use USB charging may not include charging stands at all, while others employ a unique design. In these cases, a dedicated socket for the charging stand is integrated into the device, and USB charging becomes accessible when the device is placed within a travel case, which also serves as a transitional component.
