what is the rated wattage of the blanket? That is, how many min/max watts of power are necessary to make it work? It should say on the mfg. label.

Sorry! Can't look up that info as I threw that blanket out already as it only lasted 5 months. Also note, the control was very hard to turn to desired heat level which is not good for anyone with a grip problem.

Your question is not asked very well. The controller for this heating blanket has 3 positions, OFF, LOW & HIGH. That is all there is. You may not adjust it a little bit more, or less. The voltages are preset and they're only two of them. Low & High.

I would recommend giving it a try. Try it on a small area in the corner at first and set it to the highest setting. I cannot guarantee it won't damage your blanket, but if you're careful, I would think not.

There is typically a lot of current draw in a heater. I would check the spec sheet on the mfg Web site to see what this is rated at. Not sure I would feel comfortable, this is more for lighting and lower wattage items in my opinion.

I had the same question - so I connect one unit into a WattMeter (measures accumulated power (KWph). Turned the unit on with the remote but nothing plugged into it. It has been running now for 6.5 days and the WattMeter shows that ONLY 0.08kw has been used. Remarkable !!! That works out to 0.012Kw per day or projecting out for a month would be 0.3g9Kw. An excellent product with MANY possible applications!

It limits. I have a device that pulls to much and it just stays warm, while only drawing max of 6 watts from the wall. I calculated this at 1.17 amp, which is as advertised. Used it a couple days at max (waiting for the 3 amp unit to arrive) and it didn't crap out.

I'm looking at the label right now; and the watts and times listed below by "Animal Friendly" are absolutely correct. I would add that you must be diligent about wrapping it carefully as it gets extremely hot to start. I bought a ready-made cover with velcro for one of my heatable "frizzbees".

1. Is it plugged in to a functioning outlet? 2. Is it turned on (light on after pushing top left button on control)? 3) Have you selected a temperature (bottom right button on control)? If the answer to all three is positive, your blanket may be defective (mine works when all answers are affirmative)/

The labelled wattage is 24 watts. It works much better than 17 watt unit it replaced. I'm about to order another one for my garage. I just wish it was 30-35 watts and had an auto-shutoff. Auto-shutoff is such an obvious requirement that I wonder why no one offers it.

What wattage is the low heat? Does it pull less than 1500 watts? Thanks for your help!! :)

I noticed on the description it mentions about 100 degrees, but this is actually a low voltage heated pad. The description mentions about it being low wattage 25 degrees and all the heated pads I have are just warm to the touch so I feel the 25 degrees is correct and believe the 100 degrees is a mis-print on the product description.

We have no idea. I'd ask an electrical person. Don't know "watts" the difference. Sorry, couldn't resist.

It turns off automatically after 10 hours and when ours worked, we never had an issue, like clock work, it turned off. The problem is, the blanket we bought only lasted 2 months and then stopped working. I bought another one that worked 1 day and stopped working and returned it for a 3rd one that has been working for 2 weeks now - fingers crossed it doesn't stop working.

U have the blanket? Its pretty easy. Plug the 3 cables from the blanket into the back of the unit. Plug unit in, turn on power on the back. Then on the front push the power button. The timer should say 30 mins. Set it up to 60 mins by pushing the up/down buttons. Then adjust the 3 heat levels, to the temperature you desire, and push select. (A dot will appear next to the temp. Do this for all 3). Push start, climb in and enjoy!

Sorry for the late reply:I think the wattage is calculated using an algorithm (speed, incline, etc.). I have never used a power meter before so I am afraid I cannot comment on how accurate it is.

Reading the label on the unit, it says it uses 72 watts of electricity. In my area, where electricity is about 14 cents per kilowatt hour, that seems to be a little less than 1 cent per hour. It's a small price to pay for what the light appears to do.
