Is a "properly grounded wall outlet" different than a regular wall outlet?

No there is no difference ...... A regular wall outlet is supposed to be properly grounded. Of course a check needs to be made to ensure that the outlet is properly grounded before use.

Almost all modern wall outlets are grounded. The sheet connects via a cable to the outlet.

Not all wall outlets are grounded. Sometimes just one of the 2 plug-in are grounded. It is an easy test and most are grounded. You get what you need when you order the earthing products

No, if your outlets have the little tunnel looking hole, that is the ground. An you receive the device to check the ground.

It is a regular wall outlet that contains the third little round hole (for grounding) under the two vertical parallel slots. The sheet comes with a testing kit to make sure the ground hole is working properly.

it just plugs into the standard wall outlet. I works well. No problems with the unit at all.

That's correct. Powerline adapters generally need to be plugged directly into the wall to work well, and not into a surge protector or power strip. With that said, when plugged properly into the wall outlet - this unit performs amazingly well!

Works fine for me in a house that still has several older outlets that haven't been upgraded yet. I would invest in an updated outlet (properly grounded) by an trained electrician if you intend to use sensitive electronics over a long-term in that location though.

No idea what this question has to do with the product, but, yes, to function properly a surge protector needs to be plugged into a grounded outlet (hence the three prong plug).

No. Aside from the plug � incompatibility, this thing draws a lot of current and a standard 110v/15A wall outlet will not work.

I noticed the same thing; so I ordered an adapter for my normal outlets. Didn't need it. It will plug into a normal three prong outlet and on the plug of the AC unit is a breaker....like a hair dryer.

I do not believe it's grounded but it should work. Can say I am impressed by build quality and USB ports are spot on. Good luck.

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 a three prong plug so it is grounded. Other then that you would have to contact the company. I've seen no issues with it so far.

Im really not sure what you are talking about but I use a regular plug in the wall.

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!

That is accurate. I had our unit plugged into the bottom outlet in our basement. I was able to use the top outlet without any trouble.

Well, update, my sockets are 'grounded'; that is, they have 3 holes, 1 round. But the red light indicator on my Belkin is lit & says not grounded.So, I don't know. I'm using it, & will ask my building manager if it's really grounded or not.

Not 100% sure, but I think it would be grounded once you plug it into an oulet or even better a surge protector.

Hi, I found the standard to be all three prong, not really two prong. They're cheap enough so get at least one two prong if you're worried. You'll be more than happy with the Orei grounded universal, thats all I used. Good luck :)

I reread the description and don't know where you got that idea but there is a standard plug which you DO plug into a 120v standard outlet. I used them last year. Nice and bright and if its too long for your space, just double back once you get to the end.
