Electric blanket: Will it work?

No, it won't work. It's impossible to quantify that answer, because you don't specify how much current you will draw and for how long. Generally speaking, it's always better to conserve heat than try to make more. So get a good sleeping bag; that is the appropriate technology. Then you will still be warm in the morning.

I returned the blanket. I wanted a replacement for a previous electric blanket that had two wireless remotes. Apparently no one makes a king blanket with wireless remotes. The blanket I returned had wires everywhere. I suspect if you unplug your blanket for ten seconds then power it up again, the code will disappear.

A lot depends on how you use it. If you use it to heat the room you are in instead of turning up the heat for the whole house to warm yourself, then yes, it can help. It also depends a lot on the electric rates in your area, and what type of heat your home is heated with, and how much insulation you have. These heaters are not miracle workers, but they are problem solvers for cold rooms, and if you use them correctly, they can help lower your bill. :-)

I agree, the cord is a problem. I use my blanket daily. You need to remember that it is a "throw" not a full size blanket. Get it in position, turn to most comfortable setting and you are good to go for at least 4 hours. The benefits outweigh the inconvenience.

I think so. Mine is outside, with a foam/ vinyl cover on top. With the blanket on, the heater comes on less. I put the bubble side down and trimmed it a bit larger than the top and it works well. I read on line that it is more energy efficient to keep it warm all the time vs turning it down to cool when not in use and then heating it all up again before using . I find this to be true also. I am not an expert.

Isaiah, you should "google" your question to get more information. I just did and there seems to be a consensus that the mylar blankets can provide shielding. I only glanced at the info so you should do a thorough perusal.

I'm a cold person, so I also have an electric blanket. When I lived in Colorado I had an electric mattress cover and a serious down comforter. However, I found I could keep the electric blanket temperature lower with this blanket. For me, it was more effective and lighter than the non-down alternative comforter I replaced.

No not without converter. Resistive load of blanket is ok with 50 or 60 Hertz. You just need to drop voltage to 120 volts.

I put it between the top sheet and my extra blanket. I have my bedspread over everything. I usually turn the electric blanket on half an hour before going to bed and shut it off when I get in. On the sub-zero nights, I just turn it down. This blanket works great.

it generates enough heat that it has to be turned down or it will make you too hot! My wife has never had a blanket that has heated as well as this one. This is about our 5th electric blanket and it is the only one that she has had to turn down.

That is a question that you should be asking the electric blanket manufacturer. I haven't owned an electric blanket in a long time, but the last one I had specificly stated that you should never lay on the blanket. The weight of a person can cause the electric wiring that is in the blanket to pull lose or break and cause a fire hazard. Concerning this specific egg crate foam, in my opinion it is not heavy duty enough to use. The foam is too soft for the egg crate to work properly.

Hi, Mustang Sally,I am checking this blanket and it does not have any kind of settings. This is not an electric blanket. It is super-soft and warm. No electricity involved here. It is a king size. Hope I was helpful. LehighandMe

Oops! Sorry, I was mistaken. This blanket isn't electric. One that I have that I love is Biddeford which does have the three settings.

I am so sorry but the review I wrote should have been for their electric blanket, I entered it on the wrong product. However, I did purchase the heating pad and I do like it very much and there has been no problems with the coils. I've had no problem sleeping on it at all.

I am not sure. I always turn on my blanket to pre-warm my bed. I hate getting under cold sheets.

yes, but wouldn't last that long because when you run resistance for heat it drain power too quickly even with 500 AH that you got...also check to see how much wattage your e-blanket required....if it more than 2500w the inverter will cut out... VU

I would say no. Not all by itself. If you have another blanket and a heavy duvet cover for it then it would work just fine.
