Is it a 2-prong that plugs into the wall? Or is there a 3rd prong? (My outlet only has two, so wanted to make sure it fit).

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

3 Pronged ((fyi the 3rd is used for grounding & not safe to remove!!). Also has its own circuit reset,neat!,Keep it clean.

It fits a 3 pin socket, however I have it connected to a converter which plugs on to the end. The converter changes the end from its 3 prong to 2 prong and allows me to plug it into a 2 prong outlet and works great. I think the converter should only be $1 or $2

It doesn't fit into a two prong outlets. You have to upgrade your two prong outlets to a three prong outlets.

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

Two prong is fine as long as it's polarized which I believe all cords are these days. I just cut an extension cord in half and stripped the bare wires back. The wire that goes to the larger size plug is the ground so be sure to get that right when connecting to the unit.

The lamp has 2 prongs. It's totally OK to plug it into a 3 prong strip. If an electrical appliance is all plastic on the outside, you don't get a third prong. You don't need it. You get everything you need with just 2-prongs, even if you plug into a 3-prong strip. Not to worry.The folks that let you tie into great big power sources do try to keep you out of trouble. If you can plug something in, without cheating, it's ok, go for it.

I suggest passing this and look for one that screws into the outlet. This one has a plastic peg that goes into the top plug - and it doesn't stay in the wall.

3, but be careful that your outlet is a standard one, not one with a circuit breaker between the sockets. It won't fit into one of those.

The plug that goes to the wall is a normal I think three prong, but there is a plug within the mirror part, that .I have no clue what its for its big never seen it like that. It is truly a great item though I love love love it.

First one I ordered was 3-prong and it stopped working about 2 weeks after I got it. The second one I ordered (same link and everything) through a different seller, was 2-prong :/

No, I own three by two different comanies and they all have two prongs. You can buy a three prong adapter if you want to but most electrical outlets are grounded anyway.

It is a outlet that has a ground, so 3 prongs. It has three inlets in case you need to know.

It was a tight fit, but I was able to insert a 3 pronged plug into the second wall outlet. A 2 pronged plug should fit nicely.

Yes it does. Using an adapter from two prong to three defeats the benefits of this plug since it will move it out from the wall too much. Maybe you know someone that could install a newer outlet for you. It's relatively easy to change but a rudimentary knowledge of electricity is required and power to the plug MUST be turned off.

The unit has three prongs that plug into the wall outlet. It probably could be used with the proper three-to-two prong adapter.

It has three prongs to be plugged in with a three hole outlet coming out the bottom. If you put it in the bottom outlet of the two in the wall, you should still be able to use the other as normal.

Hi Nicole. It is a standard 2 or 3 prong plug in. Look to see if your outlet by the disposal is 2 or 3 prong. Three prong is preferred. It does have to be wired into the unit. A plug knocks out and you connect the wires onto the Whirlaway. It should explain in the directions. A hammer and a screwdriver will knock out the plug.
