Is the plug 2- or 3-prong? Also, a reviewer said to turn it around to face the wall to work around the 2-ft rule, does that impact efficiency?

Dear Katy, Thank you for contacting us. The BioGS 2.0 models use a 2-prong plug. We do not recommend the air purifier facing the wall, instead, we recommend having at least 1 foot of clearance of the wall. The unit will work best in an area with a high amount of concentrated particles. Have a great day! Regards, Rabbit Air Customer Care Team

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.

It has both three-pronged input and plugs to go into the wall socket, and my rudimentary understanding of current Code standards is that the third prong is the grounding plug, but "fully grounded" is a function of how well your wall socket is grounded -- in other words, if you plug a three-pronged plug into a three-pronged wall socket, but the wall socket is not properly grounded, whatever device you have plugged in is not "fully grounded".

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.

The only bad thing you can do as far as 2 or 3 pronged plugs go, is to remove the third grounding prong on a plug in order to make it work in an ungrounded (2-prong) receptacle or extension cord. Otherwise plugging a 2-pronged device into a 3-pronged outlet is perfectly safe. The 3rd prong is usually connected to the metal chassis of an appliance so that if something inside gets knocked around or wet and ends up energizing the metal chassis - it will cause the circuit to short and hopefully trip the circuit breaker, instead of creating a shock hazard by energizing the other metal parts on the device.

Both ends are 3-prong plugs. A 2-prong could be plugged into it but need a 3-prong wall connect.

This is a 3 prong meaning it has the grounding prong. Any retailer or hardware store has the adapter that converts a 3-plug prong to a 2-plug prong but I would advise you check with an electrician before you consider this method. Hope this helps answer your question

I was in Florence and every outlet in my room was 3 holes. I was told 2 prong plugs might not be spaced far enough apart to reach the outer 2 holes. Supposedly 2 holes are the old style and 3 are new. Modern hotels or recently renovated ones will have 3, but older homes may have 2. I followed online advice and bought 3 which was what I needed

Hi John, The item I received was a 3-Prong. I did not check for this when I ordered as I would have like to get a 2-Prong.Have a great day friend, Mike. :^)

I have a 3 prong cord and it works fine, and I have had the cord for a while now,and never have had a problem..Hope this helps.

both of the ones I have are 2 prong plugs (but I am using them connected to 3prong timers - I would suggest getting 3 prong timers as you may find yourself using them for other things also...)

Honestly this is not my background. However this unit operates on a 220 circuit, hence the reason for the different plug style. Personally I would leave plug as it is and not mess with it.

I don't know if this helps, but I ran a 3 prong male plug from a small refrigerator though it. I had to angle it, but it went through.

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

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.

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

flat as in paralell tot he wall?... no it has a standard outlet 3 prong plug. I was a bit skeptical myself. The lenght of the cord and the spacing helps.
