Does the cord plug INTO the base or the brush itself? If the base, can i leave it plugged up so it will recharge each time I get through brushing and put it back on the base?

The plug is attached to the base. You can keep it plugged in all the time, so it's always ready to go.

The cord plugs into the base not the brush. The manufactur recommends running the battery down every six months. Otherwise, they say you can leave it on the base between brushings.

The cord goes into the base which is just a little bit bigger than the bottom of the brush. I have it plugged in 24/7.

The base plugs into the wall and you place the brush on the base for charging.

I leave mine on the charger all the time. Have had no problems with it. I have had other models where battery went bad and would not recharge but have had no such problems with this one. I love mine and bought a 2nd one. Have recommended to friends who have also bought. Especially good on hardwood floors.

My unit came with a cord that plugged into the handle of the drill. The battery is charged while connected to the drill. My son has an identical drill that came with the same charging set up.

You can plug the cord directly into the trimmer. Also, if it's out of charge, it will work while plugged in, which is helpful.

You have to plug a cord end into it. This comes with the sweeper. You do not want to keep it plugged in all the time because it will eventually ruin the charging ability by shortening the life of the battery. Only plug it in when it dies from use.

It looks like the batteries have to be removed to be charged (which makes me question why it's called 'rechargeable'?) The plug cord is removable and works fine - but only to power the unit directly. (as I understand it)

My experience is that the battery has to have some charge. You cannot plug it in and use it if the battery is completely drained. Even when charging (plugged in) it will only last for a short while before the battery is too weak. So, I suppose the short answer is "no". This is a great trimmer and the best I've ever used.

It appears that the brush head is a hollow plastic cylinder. The toothbrush has a long component that fits into the brush head - and this component appears to have a metallic core, which (when the brush head and toothbrush are connected) would be directly behind the brushes. The toothbrush, of course, fits into the recharging unit when not in use. While I have no idea what a "piezo" is, other than having something to do with the electrical system, inspection would suggest that it is in (or connected to) the toothbrush itself, not the brush head ... and that some part of the system is "right under the bristles" when the brush head and toothbrush components are assembled. Why does it matter? What is a "piezo"?

Yes. The toothbrush holder plugs into an electrical outlet to keep the battery charged. You can leave the toothbrush in the holder to keep it charged. Or you can take it out of the holder but must put it back in the base when battery needs recharging.

I leave mine plugged in and in the base all the time. I alternate every other night brushing my teeth with a manual toothbrush. When I floss after using the Sonicare, it's *gross* how much gunk I'm able to get out easily. That alone proves how effective the Sonicare is at moving stuff out of the gums to where it can be removed. Just keep that kind of thing in mind: Sonicare vs. rotting gunk.

You put it on the stand which plugs into the wall. There is a rechargeable battery in the handset that charges when it is placed into the stand. The photo of the toothbrush shows it sitting on the charger/stand.

yep...it apparently doesn't cycle the battery so you have to keep unplugging it when it is full...if you disconnect the battery, you can still use it with the power cord plugged in. i haven't had any luck locating a battery for it, yet. (i can't find anything about it on wacom's website or any replacements at the "we carry every battery known to man" stores...apparently they're all liars.)

Yes... not sure why it's not shown. The cord powers the base/cleaning unit and can be plugged directly into the shaver when traveling. Also not shown is the travel case, a very form-fitting item that carries the razor and a cleaning brush but not the cord. The razor can go about a week between charges so you may not need to carry the cord

When it's flashing, is it still in the base charging unit or outside of it? While in the charging unit, it should reach a point where the lights become solid (no flashing). After use, the bottom lights will flash indicating the brush is not fully charged. If it is still flashing while in the charging unit after a solid 24 hours, you may have a faulty unit.

There is a two prong plug that slides out when you slide the red button on the bottom of the handle. You can plug it in directly to an outlet to recharge unit. It's kind of flimsy so I suggest you use an extension cord when recharging.

My sonicare came with a charging base for the toothbrush that plugs into an outlet. Maybe you got a different model of sonicare. Read again what is included in the ad and on the box. Maybe they left it out. Also check for a place for batteries. Hope that helps you!
