* * Does this have a 3-prong (L-shapped ground) wall plug, the same type your electric dryer would use? If not, how do I adapt? thanx

No, it doesn't have the L-shaped plug. The heater is made by Marley. Using the link below, you can download the manual and on page three there is a drawing of the plug. http://www.marleymep.com/en/fahrenheat/pd-nph4a-portable-heavy-duty-multi-use-heater/

It's been a while since I plugged this guy in but it's only able to be used in a 220 volt line. Which means that one prong is horizontal I just can't remember which one. Sorry it's stored away at the moment! But it's a solid heater!

No, it is not a 3 prong 30 amp plug. It is a 20 amp, 220 volt, 3 prong plug. You feed the circuit with 12-2 wire.

Plug is smaller than my dryer plug. Change receptacle in wall to fit. U can buy a new one for cheap...

Not directly because most newer dryers require a 4 prong receptacle while this units needs a 3 prong 240 Volt Repeptacle. However it is easy to have your local electrician make you an adapter which will alow you to plug this chrager into your existing dryer receptacle if you dont want rewiring. Understand that household power consists of two separate 120 volt hot legs. to get 120 volts you use one hit and one neutral. to get 240 you use both hot legs with no neutral which is how this cahrger is wired. The dryer uses both 240 and 120 volts (240 for the heating and 120 for the electronics) so they have a receptacle with two hots and a neutral.

Check http://evseupgrade.com/?main_page=index&c;Path=7 for various adapters. Dryers are either a NEMA 10-30 (3 pin/no ground) or NEMA 14-30 (4-pin/ground). I have made up my own before, to run a 3HP table saw off that outlet. Unless you understand wire gauge limitations, buy a prefabbed adapter.

i see many different answers posted here, the bottom line is you need to know what amp your dryer is. look at the picture of the extension cord and look at the plug on your dryer if the prongs match this cord will work. there are many different plugs out there for 220 powered appliances. in my case the cord is used for a 20 amp. 240 volt garage heater, not a dryer and if i had a 30 amp heater this plug would not work. before you order please compare the cord plug or ask a friend or nieghbor that is familiar with electric power for advice so that you don't make a poor purchase.

The unit I ordered and received did have a 3-prong plug. Mine came from "Best Price Power Adapter"; the current vendor appears to be LinkPC.

I bought a 110v-220v converter on eBay for 9.95 to plug the dryer in and convert it, that's how I managed to use it in the U.K, as I'm in London. Hope this helps. Regards. X

It's a 3 prong.. And is a great blower! I'd buy another if anything happens to the one I have... Good luck

It's a regular household non grounded 2 prong plug.. I would think you could get a 3 prong grounded adapter for about a dollar at any hardware store(Homedepot Lowes..

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.

Hi Melvin,,, here is another site that may help you with the correct type adaptor plug for grounding. Check this out: www.geoharmony.co.uk

2 prong plug can be connected to the top of the adapter and a three prong or another 2 prong can be connected to the opposite side with universal plug. Please make sure that your hair dryer supports 220V before using it with this adapter. This adapter doesn't convert voltage.

As previous replies mentioned, only if your dryer is dual voltage as this is not a converter. Also note that many places in Israel use the "European" socket that takes two round prongs, but some have a socket that is three round plugs in a pyramid configuration. Best bet would be to buy the two-prong power strip & just buy a three-prong plug adapter if you had to.

Yes, it requires a standard three-prong outlet. As an aside, make sure not to use an extension cord. And make sure your wiring can support the required voltage. I'm renting an older home, and the lights flicker for a second when the compressor kicks on and off. To be fair, the wiring here is REALLY old and needs to be redone--the lights also flicker when I merely power on my hair dryer. But since I'm renting, I can't fix that myself.

I plug the dryer directly in the power outlet for the past couple month without any problem. I have a old version broght couple years ago from Japan. I used many years by directly plug into the power outlet. This dryer is solid.

Good question..I have trashed it...it had a three prong outlet plug, but the wire itself wasn't as heavy as the Air King I currently choose...if I have to guess where it failed it was in the LCD thermostat panel , but having said that it never really had the high heat that you find in most heaters so maybe the cord couldn't provide enough juice...it was a disappointment for us.

Sorry, my first reply was incorrect. Now that I am home, I see the plug, indeed, is 3-prong.

The wall receptacle has to be one called a 6-20P type that you can buy at Home Depot. It s not the same as an electric dryer.
