Is there an adaptor available to change the polarized plug to a normal British 3 pronged plug

There wasn't an adaptor included. You can buy those at most hardware stores!

I would assume you could get an adapter for it. It is a 110 volt 2 prong US plug.

Yes, but you will need a plug converter from the 2 prong American or mainland Europe to the 3 prong English plug.

You would most likely need an adapter to convert US plug to the UK socket. However, I do not recommend it - the turning projector stopped working 2 weeks after I received it.

It's about a 1/2" to wide; the connectors are polarized. It doesn't work with a 2 to 3 prong converter, either and they're slightly too long to work in a 1 to 3 socket adapter. A small power strip will work.

Polina P Not sure if you are in the UK but I bought a voltage convertor. It is a box which changes a voltage of 110 to 240 and vice versa.

the strip plugs into a USA receptacle as pictured - yes you will need a PLUG Adaptor to change it from US to UK .... the strip will accept all Europe / UK plugs.... just get a plug adaptor from amazon... they're like $5.00 - and they're great to have, especially if you only want to use it for one device, so you don't have to pull out the strip...

Yes, as the others have said, it accepts two prong polarized American plugs (either direction) and three prong Polarized American plugs. It takes a little learning to know the direction the shutters want to be pushed, especially with completely squared off American plugs. I notice that most of the newer plugs are beveled a little which helps with the shutters.

You should be able to get an adaptor at Radio Shack or an electronics part store such as http://www.cablesandconnectors.com. The plug is 1/4" outer diameter, about 1/8 inner. The power adaptor side has an output of 9v-2a. As someone suggested, easiest thing is to take the old adaptor with you to the store if you still have it.

No, unfortunately you can't do that; I was hoping for the same when I bought it, but I think there are adapters for that. So far I have checked this site of Amazon and I didn't find the right one but I'm sure radioshack and similar stores have it.

An adapter is definitely needed- the UK plugs are much bigger with a 3 prong configuration. Also, their voltage is 220 so you need more than just an adaptive plug. I purchased an appliance that had a switch from 110 to 220 which made it easier for travel--then carried different plug configurations for travel through Europe.

You will need an adapter since the prongs do not fit in the holes of the European fixtures.

I used no adapter. The plug should fit into your standard USA socket. There may be different requirement if you live in Europe.

This heater has a standard polarized two prong plug. It will fit into any standard three prong outlet which is in most homes. It will also fit into any standard polarized two prong outlets that were used in older homes. Some very old homes have two prong outlets that are not polarized. If that is the case which is rare you will need to change the receptacle. How you can tell if the plug or outlet is polarized is that in a polarized plug one prong is wider than the other prong.

Plug is not polarized; it can go either direction in the outlet. The plug size is not a problem; I am able to plug other things in the other outlet.

This is designed to fit a 3 prong outlet in the States, 3 prong outlets here are vertical rather than slanted so you might need an adapter.

The one I received had a nornal U.S. plug on it. It is not a polarized plug so you can plug it in either way no problem.
