Electric Blanket Reviews

What is it?

An electric blanket is a home appliance, a heating device created for personal comfort. It is essentially a fabric blanket featuring special heating elements woven into the fabric, a temperature control device and an electrical plug. Most electric blankets plug into the 110V socket, some can work in your car

How is it used?

Electric blankets have a wide variety of uses, from staying warm at night, to keeping cozy on a road trip. There are quality designs available - many blankets are used as throws, which can be used for watching TV or reading a book.

What are the benefits?

Electric blankets have a few important benefits that make blankets a welcome addition to any home:

• Warmth on demand.  No need to wait for the house's heater to bring the temperature up.
• Comfort on the go. An electric blanket can be used when there's no heat.
• Save energy. Instead of warming up the entire house, you can sleep wrapped in an electric blanket that will keep as warm and comfortable as possible. This will save energy, especially during colder times of the year.

When choosing an electric blanket follow these tips to make your purchase a breeze:

• Read electric blanket reviews - they will help you and save you a lot of time, learn from other people's mistakes
• Never buy a used electric blanket - they can be dangerous and hazardous to your health
• Make sure the blanket has all the settings and features you require, such as auto shut-off, variety of temperature settings, dual zones, etc.
• Choose the right size - it is better to buy larger electric blankets, to maximize comfort and use them as throws or mattress pads.
• Explore the material. Most blankets on the market today are made of various synthetic fibers. Some people may be allergic to certain fabrics. Some polyester brands are known to stick to sheets, attract dust, and create a lot of lint. Choose wisely.

A perfect electric blanket would have the following features:

• No visible wiring that you can feel. Many blankets' heating elements are very apparent and may cause discomfort.
• 2 Full-featured remote controls (for both sides of the bed):
  - 10 or more temperature settings
  - Lit display or indicator visible in the dark
  - Auto-off timer with different interval settings
  - Ability to control heat in different zones or automatic zone control
  - Auto sensing of ambient temperature (as it gets colder, the blanket should increase heat)
  
  
• Soft, comfortable fabric that does not roll into little balls, does not shed, does not cause allergies and provides perfect heat insulation and breathing - very important.
• Be machine washable and dryer safe.
• Feature low-voltage circuitry with low-amp power draw.
