Abstract

The present invention relates to the field of a small electrical appliance, in particular hair removal device or toothbrush, comprising an electric DC motor; a detector for acquiring a detector signal indicative of a rotational speed of the electric DC motor; and a controller for controlling the electric DC motor. The controller is adapted to: determine, based on the detector signal, a first parameter indicative of the rotational speed of the DC motor; determine, based on the detector signal, a second parameter indicative of the rotational speed of the DC motor, wherein the second parameter is different from the first parameter, and wherein the second parameter is determined based on a frequency domain analysis of the detector signal; and adjust a supply voltage of the electric DC motor based on the first parameter and the second parameter.
