Default Why aren't toasters grounded?
In article ,

The Keurig coffee machine and electric mixer are the only small
appliances in te kitchen that do have a 3 prong plug. The other coffee
pot (Mr. Coffee type),and microwave only have 2 prongs.

A microwave with a 2 prong plug? It is either so new it is double
insulated or it was never listed. The 45 year old one I have uses a 3
prong plug. I also wonder what NEC cycle your AHJ was using if a 1980
house does not have GFCI protected small appliance circuits.



My mistake, mine does have 3 wires. Looked at the wrong receptical. See
another post.
