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.

@MDH Unlikely to be 1 Watt - this is a heater! If the above info is correct and the wall wart says Output: 18VDC/3.5A that looks like about 63 Watt; or maybe the Input tells the full story: 110V/1A which would mean a consumption of 110 Watts when operating (more likely) (Stepping down the voltage from 110V should make it safer but less efficient?) If it consumes 110W while operating and it is in 'On' state for 5 hours per night that would mean @ $0.20/KwHr the blanket would cost $3.30 per month to run.It would need a meter attached while operating to find out how juicy it really is. @MDH Unlikely to be 1 Watt - this is a heater!

In all honesty I do not know what the wattage is. I know that it comes on at about 36 to 38 degrees and does not get hot, but it does have just the smallest amount of heat to keep plastic, PVC, or copper water pipes from freezing. All it does it keep the pipes above freezing. that's the reason you have to cover the tape with foam wraping, to hold the small amount of resistance heat next to the pipes and not let too much free air get to the tapes. I leave mine on all winter and our electric bill has not risen at all and we've had temperatures in the low teens. Depending on where your from, that many not be much but I really don't care as I don't have to spend the money to dig up frozen pipes to fix them. In all honesty I do not know what the wattage is.

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.

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)/

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 don't know but in the past, their numbers have corresponded to the optimal watts delivered. I'd try asking them again because my experiences with their customer service department is that they hire the mentally disabled. Their products are excellent but their customer service isn't.

It actually warms up quickly. I think you might want to the instructions. It took me awhile to do the settings properly. Mine works great. I wouldn't trade it for an electric blanket ever. If it is a defective unit, I would exchange it.

I haven't had any problems with mine, Im not sure how you could fix it. I did find at one time mine was not heating, I checked and the cord was not plugged in completely to the blanket. I plugged it up and it works fine.

I can't tell you the max wattage, watts is a power measurement (volts x amps) but I use them for 24v and low amp drawing 120v circuits. I've never damaged one.

The box or the bulb itself does not have any wattage rating written. The bulb only gets warm but not hot. Since it uses LEDs, the power drawn should be minimal.

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.

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 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.

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

I checked around on-line and wasn't able to find any energy-star certification info for water heater insulation blankets. Best bet would be to contact the mfr.

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.
