What Joe said! I only charge mine once a week.

May be a dumb question - but how do you store toothbrushes (electrical and otherwise) in a drawer and ensure that they dry well? Is there a special holder that keeps the brush partially upright to allow air to circulate around it?

@sweetverve - I think people have very deep drawers. In my new remodel, I didn't get drawers because it would have looked too busy but my cabinets operate functionally as drawers as there are two rollouts.

In terms of OP's question - my electric toothbrush also holds a charge for a relatively long period of time but the charger has a pretty small footprint anyway. I keep the brush on the counter in a vintage small vase type of thing.

In terms of electrical outlets, I don't think you can have too many in a bathroom. I have a tall closet at one end of my counters and it has an outlet in it. I also installed outlets in one of my pullouts which has a special cut out which is intended to hold dryers and curling irons etc. so that I don't have to plug them in and out but they are concealed in the drawer.

I am not sure if you are asking whether aesthetically you should opt for the center tower or a medicine cabinet. I don't understand why having an electrical plug in a medicine cabinet would be so expensive though. Unless I am missing something you would just have the electrician put an outlet in the area where the medicine cabinet is. I have a medicine cabinet on one wall and had considered having an outlet in there but decided I wasn't going to be using it to keep anything charged for I opted out. I have wall to wall mirror treatments and there are several electric outlets installed where the mirrors are and they didn't seem to present any construction issues when it was installed.

There is no need to buy a cabinet with an outlet. our electrician just put one in our standard medicine cabinet. It’s a wonderful feature for the charger

We can only accommodate surface-mounted cabinets, not recessed. Would the outlet be placed on the back wall of the cabinet?

I guess it would have to be, which is probably easier. Ours is recessed and the electrician put it on the side of the cabinet. This wasn’t an issue as the cabinet is supported by extra blocking there so the stud integrity was not compromised.

Back to add that technically in our area this is not to code but the inspectors never opened the cabinet.

My sonicare is battery powered. (I use rechargeable batteries). Where to store the toothbrush it dries? Seems like there are lots of options: a) put in corner of counter; b) put in medicine cab and leave ajar c) put in one of those pull-outs, and leave ajar. etc. I would not build a counter tower just for a toothbrush. FWIW, my sonicare have a plastic cover, so it only ”vents” from below. I also try to keep it as far away from the toilet as possible. (And flush with the lip closed, when I remember, lol) If you’re worried about germs, they have some (battery powered) UV device that cleans toothbrushes. You could use that periodically.

Who is inspecting your bathroom to see if you keep your counter neat?
Store the chargers in the drawer when not in use. Leave the toothbrushes on the counter or put them inside the tall cabinet to dry. The important thing is to have a separate double outlet for each of you in case you buy electric air or water flossers, too, or use a hair dryer.

*I* am inspecting the bathroom, lol - the toughest critic! I prefer not having clutter on top of counter. Willing to make a concession for hand soap, but would prefer to keep toothbrushes and other paraphernalia out of sight.

Are you looking at list prices for Robern cabinets or actual prices? Because the actual price will usually be significantly less than what is on the Robern website, especially if your contractor passes along all or part of their discount. My mom's PL series (20x30s) cabinets were list price 750 each in 2016, actual price 450 each after contractor discount at the plumbing supply store. However then there was the additional cost she had to pay for the contractor to run electricity to both. Also, in the PL series cabinets that my mom has, you lose a little depth in the bottom portion of the cabinet due to this plastic strip that runs along the back of cabinet which is a bit of an annoyance.

Thanks, all! You talked me out of spending more $$ on a cabinet for toothbrushes :)

good to hear that yr not spending the $$$$$.
