Is the other side of this 3 prong, or are both sides only 2 prong?

two-prong. I just went downstairs to have a look, so my answer's not a guess, it's definite. BTW, my unit is about 8 months old, used once or twice every day, and it still works perfectly. Not a bad machine for the price.

Brenda, only a 2 prong. I believe there are inexpensive 2 prong to 3 prong adapters. Its worth a Google search.

The 3rd pole comes from the power plus in the wall with this type of prong. If you look at it closely you will see an opening for the 3rd on the picture.

Yes there are two 3-prong outlets on bottom of unit, and the power plug is 3 prong

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!

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

Yes, it is a two prong polarized plug. Polarized means one prong of the plug is slightly wider than the other.

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

Sure, the third prong is optional. Mine is in use with a two pronged lamp and it works great.

This unit has a two-pronged plug, normal type. It doesn't have the 3-pronged with ground.

Sorry for the delay. No, the prongs on the backside of this device are also three-pronged. Also, you might want to know that even though the photo shows a screw in the center of the device (a critical feature for me) it does not have one.

I got one and the answer is no the bands around the prong input are three instead of two. However, I'm going to Best Buy to see if there's an adapter. No this in advance.

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.

No. It has three vice two prongs. My wife who attempted to use it just bought a 2-prong outlet/converter (which is required. also) on the local economy.

It has one male end and one female end, three conductors, fully connected. I just checked it with my electrical outlet tester, all leads verify as working properly.

It is a 3 prong connection. Plugging into a 2 prong adapter may defeat the purpose of the surge protection
