Does this use a standard three-prong plug?

Yes, prongs are standard and fit into a standard 3 prong wall socket BUT the body surrounding the plug is a 2 x 3 inch 90 degree plug. You would use the lower wall socket to plug the AC into and then a standard (for instance lamp cord plug) into the upper wall socket. The reason the AC unit plug is large is because it contains a safety shut-off mechanism in the body to protect unit from electrical overloads that could create shorts / fires. Check the specs because the electrical socket must be 15 amps. This is pretty standard. It is a nice unit. We really enjoy ours..

The prongs fit into a standard three prong outlet but the plug is much larger than standard because it has a reset feature. So plug covers more than usual of outlet.

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.

It is a three connector, using the north American standard as described here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_power_plugs_and_socketsThe one you are describing sounds different.

No, mine came with standard plug and works well. The plug is 3" long, but has normal prongs.

This wiil work with a 2 prong, non-grounded plug. I do not believe it will work with a 3 prong grounded plug. It will work if the ground prong is removed but then you have a safety issue.

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.

It's a short plug, sort of. And it has three prongs. Does that answer your question??

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

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

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

It has a regular 3-prong plug. We plugged it right into a regular wall outlet. Runs very well. Very efficient. Highly recommend this item

Yes it has a three prong plug, you can cut the plug off and hard wire it if you need to.

It has a standard plug. Of course, I had to install an outlet where I needed it. I have had it 4 years and still works like a charm. Good luck.

Yes, will plug into a standard 110v outlet. Not 100% sure it has a ground plug or if it's two prong but I think it does.

Yes they do have a 3 prong plug. At least the last ones I bought did. It has been about a year since I installed one. I am sure they haven't changed the design

In the description it says it is a 3 prong but when you get it it is only standard. I just left it off of mine and just use regular outlet on wall.

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.
