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.

It starts to warm immediately. I find I use it at a setting of "Lo" to "3" about 10 minutes before I intend to get into bed in order to take a chill off the sheets. Soon, I'll either leave it at that setting or turn it down later during the night ( room temp of 63 degrees). I never need it all night long, though if I ever do I will have higher settings at the turn of the control knob. This is the best blanket, low energy, soft fabric, easy to read control (lighted) and machine washable.

Howdy Beth Negative. This generator is good for about 1600 running watts or about 13.5A.Hope this helps. BernieD 0429151718 MST

It does not have any settings at all, because it is not an electric blanket. And, if it was supposed to be an electric blanket, then I got gipped because all I got was the blanket and not a cord or socket to go with it. But it is quite large and does a fine job of keeping me warm at night. Hope this helps you to decide.

Serta Low Voltage Blankets use between 14 and 18 volts. The average electric blanket uses about 120 volts.

the tag states 15amps 1800 watts/ general purpose 5 amps 600 watts, I think the first rating is the max. Once programed they work great but like other reviews the programing is tricky.

It (was) 1300 Watts. But I would not recomend the Item anymore . It worked fine for less than one year and the little Knop on the Handle (connection) broke. then the heating element broke also.( I was told by the Company to ship it back in the Original !! box) Repair is more $$ then what i paid for. I bought a similar one (less $$ ) at an Aldis Store. And it works fine. Also 1300 Watts. Hope that helps ? good luck

The minimum required Watts in the specs says 5-7 Watts...Therefore anything less may or may not work! My Sensor unit works as advertised but I use surge strip.

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.

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.

Wish I could help you. Brought it to give as a gift. From what I've heard it works great, but as far as wattage - no clue. Why don't you try googling company & contacting them for technical info. Good luck

I am not sure if it would work or not. It does not work on my heater. It trips after every 5 minutes of usage. I was very disappointed with it, but for now I will keep it to see if I can use it with other devices. I would check the wattage or amperage limits on it before I buy it. I did not do the research on it, and the information I received on it with device does not include it as best I can tell.

If the blankets have a car adapter plug, this unit is a possibility. The only concern would be how much power the blankets need. If they are typical electric blankets, just DC, this unit is probably not powerful enough. You would need an ac to dc converter that would provide enough power.

Wattage not mentioned in manual, sorry. However, I have used at least weekly since buying. It's awesome and as far as I can tell it does NOT lose any power while running it. It does have a seven minute power failure back up. Memory holds for that seven minutes.

I'll see if I can find the packaging in my recycle bin but I'd think it's under 1 watt. I believe another reviewer claimed they use 0.5 watts each.

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

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