Philips shaver charger

The Philips CP0909/01 adaptor converts a 2‑pin shaver socket in the bathroom into a USB power source for small devices such as toothbrushes and shavers.

Key features
Genuine Philips part (CP0909/01 / 300008717761 / HQ87), designed as a plug‑in transformer with USB output, so it is built to the same safety standards as their main appliances.
Rated 5 V DC output, up to around 1.5 A / 7.5 W, which is ample for charging toothbrushes, shavers and other low‑power bathroom gadgets.
Two‑pin Euro/shaver style input, so it plugs straight into standard bathroom shaver outlets without any extra adapters needed.
Compact, lightweight body that fits neatly on the shaver socket and doesn’t protrude excessively, helping it sit tidily in a bathroom cabinet or above the basin.

Performance and everyday use
In practice, the adaptor does exactly what you want: it turns an existing shaver socket into a reliable USB power point so you can charge a USB toothbrush, electric shaver or similar device without having to take it to another room. Users of similar bathroom USB adaptors consistently report stable charging, no noticeable overheating and quiet operation, which is what you would expect from a properly rated 5 V / 1.5 A transformer from a major brand.

For typical bathroom use – overnight charging of a Sonicare, Philips shaver or a small grooming gadget – the power rating is more than adequate, and it avoids running trailing extension leads or using non‑bathroom‑rated chargers near a basin. It is not designed as a general‑purpose high‑power USB charger for tablets or laptops, but for grooming products and similar loads it performs very well.

Design, build and safety
Because this is a genuine Philips transformer, it uses a fully enclosed design with proper insulation and is intended for continuous or regular use in domestic environments. Shaver‑style supplies are tightly limited in power output, which is actually a safety benefit in the bathroom, and this unit adheres to that by capping output at around 7.5 W.

The USB port is placed so that cables can drop neatly without twisting or straining, making it easy to stand a toothbrush or shaver charging on the shelf next to the shaver socket. Compared with generic travel adapters, the Philips unit’s rated output and clear branding make it easier to trust for long‑term bathroom use rather than just occasional hotel charging.

Overall verdict

If you already have a bathroom shaver socket and want a clean, safe way to charge USB toothbrushes and shavers in situ, the Philips CP0909/01 adaptor is a very practical solution that trades raw power for reliability and safety. For most bathroom setups it becomes a “fit and forget” upgrade that makes everyday grooming more convenient without needing any electrical work.
