Is a electric shaver dual voltage?

Most modern electric shavers are dual-voltage (100–240V) and charge worldwide with a plug adapter. Older single-voltage models need a converter — check the base for "100–240V".

How to read your electric shaver's voltage label

Find the small print on the device, plug, or power brick.
Read the INPUT line.
"100–240V" means dual voltage (safe worldwide); a single value like "120V" means single voltage.

Scope

Philips: S1103/S1301 electric shaver manual: The included supply is rated 100-240 V, 50-60 Hz and 2 W. Older or other shavers can differ, so this remains representative-model evidence.

Label patterns to check before packing

Green-light label "100–240V 50/60Hz" means the voltage range is travel-safe; still pack the right plug adapter.

Single-voltage label "120V 60Hz" means a low-voltage-only model. In 220-240V countries, do not use a plug adapter alone.

Missing or worn label Treat it as unsafe until the manufacturer, manual, or power brick confirms INPUT voltage, frequency, and watts.

FAQ

Is a electric shaver dual voltage?

Check the actual input label on your electric shaver or its power supply. A 100-240V range covers those voltages; confirm frequency, grounding and model instructions separately. Category examples do not verify your own unit.

Can I use a electric shaver in Europe?

Only when the actual input rating covers the destination voltage and frequency and the plug fits with required grounding. For a medical device, confirm the exact supply and accessories with its manufacturer.

Do I need a voltage converter for a electric shaver?

No — dual-voltage devices never need a converter.

Adapter vs converter · What "100–240V" means

Guidance only — not professional electrical advice. Always confirm against your device's label before plugging in. Local wiring (especially in hotels and older buildings) can vary.
