Review on 🍂 YAMAZEN ESK-751(W) 75x75 cm White Casual Kotatsu Table with Japanese-Style Heating by Erin Buck

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Anyone who lives in a place with cold winters needs one of these

Kotatsu Magic Tables. Now that winter is in full swing, I spend several hours every day cuddling with Kotatsu. To get the most out of this table you will need a few more items than are included in this purchase. Carpet or tatami under the table. A queen or king size blanket to place between the heated portion of the table and the removable top. And either a floor sofa (which I have) or floor cushions/seats (I recommend the ones sold with the bed in and out of the bath). Finally, you need a power converter to ensure that this Japanese device will work with American/European outlets. also close to the ground. It won't work if you try to use it with a traditional sofa. You must either sit on the floor or near it. It can get very hot when your feet are directly under the heated base, but with a heat-retaining blanket you can position the table a little further away from you and it stays toasted instead of muggy. I wish there was a way to adjust the temperature of the heater, but I've adapted. The hardest part is my cats want to nap under the kotatsu but the instructions say it's not safe! This made her very grumpy. The table is easy to assemble, and although the switch is in Japanese, it's easy to remember which is on and which is off. I highly recommend this table to anyone who wants to keep warm in winter!
