Can I Use My Electric Toothbrush in Colombia?
You're good — plug right in.
Your device's voltage range matches this country, and the plug fits. You can use it directly — no adapter or converter needed. As a final check, confirm the voltage range printed on the device label.
The short answer
Electric toothbrush charging bases are almost always dual-voltage (100–240V). A plug adapter is enough; the inductive base draws very little power.
Colombia runs 120V at 60Hz. Colombia runs 120V at 60Hz with US-style Type A/B sockets — identical to the US standard. US and Canadian devices work as-is; European/UK single-voltage devices need a converter.
