Does this heater use a 3 prong electrical outlet?

I don't remember if it uses a three prong. but you if you need an extension cord for the unit, you should get a a heavy duty electrical extension chord like the one you would use for an air conditioner or a 15 to 20ft electrical chord and these extension chords are three pronged and they work fine with the heater. If your outlet is not three pronged, you can always go the hardware store and get an 2 pronged outlet adapter : Coleman Cable 9901 3-Prong To 2-Prong Adapter, Grounding Outlet Converter, 2-Pack

You know, you are correct! I never noticed that in the picture. The power cord did have a 3 prong plug as was described.

It is a three prong unit. It plugs into a standard outlet. Keep the ground and don't use an adapter in my opinion.

Not sure I understand the question, but it's a three prong plug for a general 110/120 outlet.

Yes it has the third prong for ground. I know they make adapters for non-grounded outlets but I wouldn't recommend it since you're dealing with water.

Yes, you will need a standard American '3' prong receptacle (female end), extension cord. Cord on heater is less than a foot long.

I think it was 3 prong. I don't know because the units failed rapidly and I discarded them about a month after the purchase.

Mara, it is only two-prong. So sorry. A great heater, but if you have to have 3-prong at work, not the one for you.

3 prong is pretty much standard for all electric motors (fan). This fan has a 3 prong plug.

If I remember right it is a 3 prong. I don't recomend buying this heater because the wire got very hot and it melted 2 plugs.

No, it is two prong (two cylindrical holes for the female end, don't know how best to describe it). I have an electrical wok at home that uses the three prong you are talking about. This is not it.

It requires a three pronged outlet (grounded outlet) because of the heating element.

Yes, any three prong outlets. It won't test dryer plugs or oven plugs. It does test regular and GFI outlets

It is a 3-prong. It is a grounded outlet, so it has to have 3-prong. It is a great outlet.

Yes, it does. Tanya D. You need an 3 prong outlet or adapter piece.. Someone else also posted in their review questions, don't have too many appliances going that pull a lot of current while using it. It has blown a fuse when too many things are going. As it did with me.. But, outside of that, its very useful.

No it does not. The model that does had one 3-prong male plug, which would be inserted into one part of a two plug outlet.
