Review on Powerblanket BH15PRO Adjustable Thermostatic Controller by Jason Hayes

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Professional Blanket with Digital Heat Control

Powerblankets are a great way to heat exactly what you need without worrying about uneven, intermittent, overheating or inefficient energy use to have to. be strong, durable, and field repairable with a vinyl repair kit that uses HH-66 adhesive. They are heavy and can take a lot of abuse. The machine stitch is very difficult. Straps, buckles and fittings are securely attached to the duvet. They can last a long time. What strikes me the most is that the heat is distributed evenly throughout the mat. Whatever you wrap or cover, you can be assured of even heat distribution. Adding a temperature controller, like the Beacon controllers that Powerblankets partnered with, allows you to fine-tune the temperature control. I like how you can measure the temperature at multiple points. The interior of the blanket, the surface of the blanket, or the temperature of the product. Beacon even has an IOT-connected controller that you can manage and control remotely. These blankets are pretty easy to manage. They not only heat, but also insulate, so they have a certain thickness. Nevertheless, they are relatively light for their size. They are somewhat rigid, making them more comfortable to handle. This is comparable to working with light exercise mats. Unlike some other materials, they remain flexible even in very cold conditions. Even cords remain flexible at low temperatures. Made in the USA. Yes. Designed, engineered and manufactured right in your home. ETL and UL/CAS listed. Their average lifespan with constant use is around 4-6 years. 1 year warranty. This Pro version comes with a Smart Controller (not a Beacon WiFi Controller) that is compatible with a wide range of heating and cooling devices. Because the blanket can heat up quickly, you can save energy by reducing the 400W before you need to heat the product (just like a programmable HVAC thermostat). The controls alone can pay for themselves in one season for some applications.

Pros
  • Suitable for both steel and polymer kegs
Cons
  • So far so good
