Why

Compatibility is unconfirmed. Read the exact INPUT voltage range and frequency on your device or power supply, and compare them with the destination. The whole local range must be covered; 110–220V does not include 100V or 230–240V. Confirm the actual plug, grounding and manufacturer restrictions. Do not plug in while these details are unknown. Toothbrush charging bases vary: Oral-B lists 100–240V, 220–240V and 110V/60Hz systems. Check the exact base label and manufacturer travel instructions. A plug adapter changes fit only; use a compatible manufacturer-approved base when the local supply is outside the rating.

Mexico runs 127⁠V / 60⁠Hz. Mexico runs 127V at 60Hz with US-style Type A/B sockets. US and Canadian devices work as-is — no adapter or converter needed.
