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.

I don't know the watts or temperature. If you are not careful it will burn you

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.

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.

The blanket says it runs on 110-120 Vac 180w. The electrical plug is a 2-prong "USA type A". You will need a plug adapter. Where you buy it, you can ask them if the above electrical system is compatible with your electric service. You can also find more information on that on line under a number of different searches such as: "electrical services" or "International electrical compatibility", etc. You might also try e-mailing the manufacturer "Sunbeam" and ask them. I hope this helps.

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

I checked last night. Power ratings are listed in the bottom of the product. It looks like it's 300 watts.

I just emailed the company tonight, I was wondering the same... "draws 45 watts" :-)

I have looked at my papers and on the box and on the cord. Can't find the watt rating. Sorry I can't be of help.

I don't see the blanket working as a sleeping bag on a regular basis. If necessary it would keep you warm all night but I don't see it as a good replacement. I did check the vendor site for a temp rating but it's not listed. I also sent the company an email asking what the rating was... I thought it was a good question. I have not received an answer yet but if and when I do I will update my reply.

I don't know, but I power it on about 5-minutes before going to bed and press the PH (Pre-Heat) button. Five minutes after going to bed it is hot enough for me to power off the unit. It is very, very nice blanket.

No-the blanket has no timer, just simple bimetal thermostat. It takes about 4 Amps when ON and cycles few seconds on and about 2 min off. I use small Haze 35 Ah battery and it last all night no problem.

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

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

According to the following link, there is no minimum wattage. http://www.honeywellstore.com/store/images/pdf/rpls740b-rpls741b-honeywell-econoswitch-7-day-solar-programmable-light-switch-timer-manual.pdf

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.

I did not see enough information with the shipment to calculate the wattage. The pad is not very warm so the amps are probably low.
