Buyer Guide Heated Blanket

Your heated blanket can be a lifesaver in cold weather. But which blanket should you buy? And how much should you pay for it?

• Price. Most heated blankets are priced between $50 and $300. While you can find better deals online, you can also find them at better prices at a local store (like Wal-Mart).
• Size. Most blankets are available in sizes from twin to queen.
• Weight. Heated blankets usually weigh between 3 and 10 pounds.
• Temperature Range. Most heated blankets have a temperature range between 80 and 110 degrees.
• Extension Cord. An extension cord is a must, especially for blankets that are larger than 2 feet by 2 feet.
• Plug Type and Voltage. Most heated blankets are plugged in via a standard 120V outlet. However, you may need a power adapter if you’re outside the United States.
• Check Customer Reviews. Look at the type of reviews each blanket has. Look for any bad reviews. If a blanket has a lot of negative reviews, it’s probably not a good buy.

How to choose Heated Blanket

 When choosing a heated blanket, there are a few important factors to keep in mind:

• How much heat do you desire? The number of watts your blanket uses matters. A blanket with a greater wattage will be warmer but may cost more. It’s also a good idea to choose a heated blanket that has a temperature control feature, so you can adjust the temperature to your desired level.
• How much space do you require? When shopping for a heating blanket, it’s important to consider how much space you need. Most heated blankets come with no smaller than a queen-size option, so you’ll want to measure your bed before making a purchase.
• What type of backing do you need? Heated blankets often come in fleece and flannel options. However, you may be interested in thinner, lighter blankets for year-round use.
• How much control do you need? Some heated blankets come with overheating protection, which automatically shuts off the blanket if it overheats. This feature is especially useful if you have children or pets.

 

How to Maintain Heated Blanket

 When shopping for a heated blanket, there are a few important features to keep in mind:

• Are heated blankets machine washable? Most heated blankets are machine washable, but be sure to check the care labels before throwing them in the washer.
• What type of heating mechanism do heated blankets use? Heated blankets typically use one of two heating technologies: electric heating or heat-pump technology. Electric blankets use electricity to warm blankets, whereas heat-pump blankets use liquid propane or electricity to warm a blanket through the transference of heat from the air surrounding the blanket.
• What size heated blanket do I need? Heated blankets come in many different shapes and sizes. It’s important to consider how much space you have available, whether you will be using your heated blanket on a bed or couch, and how long you will be relying on your blanket for warmth.
• Is my heated blanket safe? There are dozens of heated blankets on the market, and not all of them are safe. When you shop for a heated blanket, look for products with UL (Underwriters Laboratories) certification. These certifications ensure that heated blankets have passed various safety standards and that they are safe to use around children.
