chrisasst Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I bought one of these to try, It does not stay in the outlet well. It works but you cab see the metal plug ( not safe) It seems too heavy. I tried all my outlets, I tried to bend the prongs a little and it still sags down. Any one have suggestions. Any one here have these ones and have the same problem?

carol k Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Your outlets are worn, that's why they sag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adirondack Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I agree you outlets need to be replaced. Sorry but I had to also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon in KY Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 It's because there are only 2 prongs instead of three. I have a couple from Scentsy that have three prongs which includes the ground. It's completely sturdy fits in the plug tight and doesn't lean out. Wish all the companies would use them. Don't know how you could fix what you have. Sorry...

xxxtennillexxx Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I read another thread a while back about these and most of the people agreed that they were too heavy for the outlets. I know someone mentioned the Scentsy ones and said that they worked really well...They are considerably more expensive though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuminousBoutique Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 (edited) LOL @ the outlets being the problem.I'm sorry but thats an easy excuse for a bigger problem. Maybe SOMETIMES that is the case.... but that is not always the case.Some of the brands/designs are just too heavy, simple as that. They will sag out of brand new outlets. The three prong ones are better, for sure. Edited March 2, 2010 by LuminousBoutique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carol k Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 According to my electrician hubby that is the problem. He replaced my outlets with a better quality & that solved the problem. They have to fit in the outlet tight or they will sag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisasst Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share Posted March 2, 2010 so if I sell these, I would have to put a disclaimer saying you must change your outlet to a higher grade in order for these to stay in. I am sure I would get alot of sales then.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure I would get alot of sales then....Sorry,.. but I just had to laugh!! I can really see people wanting to snag something that had that wrote on it,..("hunny we need to make sure we upgrade our outlets so I can use these tart warmers").Can you emagine the liability on you, if you stated they must change their outlets?

carol k Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 You can always go to an electricial supply place & buy the 3 pronged sockets. That will cure it. Or better yet go to the dollar store & buy the nightlights that will fit in the opening & turn like the two prong ones do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenscandles Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 This prompted me to contact CandleWarmers last night and inquire about their new Plug In Fragrance Warmers. They have replied that theirs also have 3 prong plugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 (edited) I wouldn't sell the 2 pronged ones. They're problematic. Edited March 2, 2010 by Candybee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carol k Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 fyi, I wasn't talking about an adapter. You will need to buy the piece where you screw the light into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
