Like the design but the fact that the toothbrush blocks access to one of the plugs is a nonstarter for US homes that have only one electrical wall socket with 2 plugs in the bathroom. If you've got any women in the household, the curling iron or hair dryer would require constant moving of the toothbrush. (many hair dryers use a block plug with a circuit breaker/reset switch to prevent overheating) If you share a bathroom with a significant other and have this toothbrush, do you take turns switching between who gets to charge their brush? (Yes, you could use a multiport adapter, but even then, you're adding bulk to the wall-mounted plate.)

@monirom Good points! A few things: the dock has a built-in rotating mechanism, so the brush can be docked horizontally and an accessory plugged in below (see the image in the gallery or on our website). Or you can simply remove the brush from the dock, stand it on the counter and plug in a blowdryer or other tool. The dock itself does not block both plugs. If there is only 1 plug in the bathroom then you are correct that only 1 brush can be docked at a time.

@new_user_1992022230d71df6a - I did consider that. Note that all modern-day hairdryers in the US come with a Appliance Leakage Circuit Interrupter (ALCIS) - this is not only standard, but it's also required. It's the part of the plug with red and yellow buttons and it takes up a significant amount of space. (

) ... The collar on the Mode that facilitates the rotation of the toothbrush wouldn't provide the needed clearance regardless of which plug (top or bottom) it was plugged into.

@monirom We designed for this scenario, see below:

We've tested this with various size plugs from blow dryers, curling irons, etc

A lot of places where this could be impractical due to the location of the outlet. Could have the best of both worlds allowing for a removable plug portion that accepts an IEC C7 like some Apple USB chargers, then have worldwide plug compatibility and the ability to breakout to a cable if needed. Also any concerns around exposing the outlet to water such as flicking, dripping or seeping from the toothbrush?

@artuc_crypto Correct. Mode might not work in every bathroom, especially if the outlet is blocked or in a tight space. For the most part, we've seen that most bathrooms have an outlet near the sink that is accessible, but it may vary. As far as the water, we'd recommend wiping the brush before docking. Even if its slightly wet, the brush can be docked and will drip down and never leak or flow into the outlet as there is a 1.5" clearance.

Congratulations for the launch Marco. Great to see hardware launch on PH after long time. I love and support hardware technology. Does this provide any sort of data/insights of usage, brushing habits, reminders, etc.?

@pax93fcb Thanks. Currently this product does not provide any data/bluetooth connection to your phone, but we're working on that for the future. Stay tuned.

Mode is the first toothbrush that docks, charges and lives in the bathroom without wires. After using other electric toothbrushes on the market for years, I grew tired of the toothbrush taking up counter space while it charged or accidentally knocking it over when reaching for something. This is when the idea for Mode was born and a 3 year journey of design, R&D, and prototyping ensued. The goal was to build a product that charged without wires, elevated the bathroom and made the brushing routine more enjoyable. Working with the amazing team at Enlisted Design, we designed a compact charging dock that plugs directly in the wall and holds the toothbrush in place with magnets. The brush charges on your bathroom wall and keeps your bathroom counters clear. To further build on the experience, we embedded a nightlight in the dock to transform your bathroom at night. The brush itself is powered by 38,000 sonic vibrations and soft tip bristles to give a powerful, yet gentle clean. We’ve created an innovative product that will make your brushing routine much more enjoyable and elevate your space. Currently Mode is only available in the US as it is designed to fit US outlets. Happy to answer any questions!

Hi! Thanks for sharing. This product has a very pretty design but I have to say, I'd be worried about the potential mess it might create. Most homes/hotels only have shaver outlets in the bathroom, it seems this plugs into a standard socket. Despite attempting to rinse thoroughly after every use, eventually every electric toothbrush that I've had has ended up messy with toothpaste residue on the bottom. I'd worry that this would drip down onto carpet/flooring.

@dayle_rees Thanks for the feedback. Currently our product only works with US outlets. We recommend rinsing the brush/wiping before docking which will keep your brush, dock and bathroom counters as clean as possible.

Cool idea but this is not novel. Phillips does this with a whole product line of toothbrushes: https://www.amazon.com/Philips-S... All that while managing to be price competitive and including a carry case that also doubles as a charger, so you can leave your original (glass cup charger) in your bathroom.

@paulo_truta1 Hey Paulo, that product has a wire plug that plugs into the cup and plugs into the wall. It is not wireless. Image:
