don't you need a three prong plug, grounded to have the plug from your computer fit?

This is not a voltage converter. It is merely an adapter that allows you to use either the two- or three-pronged plug. Both are used in Italy. You still need a converter to change from 220 volt to 110 volt current. Most computers have a switch on the back that allows you to select either voltage. Then you would need an adapter to change from the US 3-prong plug to the Italian 2- or 3- prong plug.

No. Just make sure your computer has 220 volts. If not , you need to get a converter to plug in to the 3 prong plug and then plug your computer into the converter.

Rita, Yes, it does have a grounded plug (three prong). It's very important to have some sort of ground connection when you're dealing with liquid appliances. If your outlet does not have a (3) prong socket, you can purchase an adaptor that converts to a (2) prong (gray in color) and it comes with a wire or an eyelet that you can ground it using the screw in the power source socket. cover. I know this because I work at a hardware store also!

You would be better off the changing the two(2)prong outlet for a three(3)prong.for ground protection.And for a two or three dollars investment,you will be safe

The plug that I received had a three-pronged plug (for the plug that goes into the wall). So it had the grounding prong, if that's what you're asking about.

Yes, it includes the end that goes into the computer and the three prong plug that goes into the wall outlet.

The plug at the end of the cable on the back is a standard North American three-prong, grounded plug. However, the entire cable is removable and the end that fits into the converter is a standard D-shaped connection that you will find on the back of most other household electronics such as printers, computers, etc... so you should be able to find a suitable cable at a hardware store or electronics store fairly cheaply. The other option would be to use a local plug adaptor on the provided cable to make it fit.

In the US, you should be able to plug in two prong cables, power converters, etc. The third prong is for ground, so what ever you plug in with a two prong connector will simply not have a dedicated ground. But that should be ok, not everything needs a ground. If you are not in the US, or your house is not wired with three prong outlets, then you will not be able to use these cables and should return them.

No. Our device is plugged into the top and there is room for a standard plug or a 3-prong plug to fit underneath.

Yes, it comes with a standard 3 prong 120v plug...the cord is not long and it needs to be mounted close to a receptacle.

It plugs into a 3 prong outlet. I has indicators to tell if the outlet is grounded too.

It may depend on how your outlet is configured. All of my outlets are horizontal with the two prong and ground holes facing the same direction. I have the Surge Protector on the right side (maybe your top outlet), and there is enough room for another three prong (grounded) plug to fit in the left side (maybe your bottom outlet). In your scenario, this is assuming that the third prong (grounded) hole is on the bottom for each outlet. Now if you are only plugging in a two prong in the other outlet, this appears to be a non-issue. Hope this helps!

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

Yes, a three prong extension cord is strongly recommended vs. a two prong with an adapter which can be dangerous.

No. Two prong. For this type of appliance a three-prong plug is not required. It is polarized - one prong is bigger than the other.

Yes. You have a three-prong grounded connection for a laptop and the two-prong connection for a cellphone.

Yes. I have this adaptor plugged into top receptacle. And, regular laptop 3-pronged power supply connected to lower plug. Though I did not find an issue yet, some poorly designed flat 3-prong plus may not fit in.

No, these things are worthless. You have to buy an adapter to make any 3-prong plug work.
