Review on 🔌 SoftHeat Luxury Fleece Electric Heated Blanket - Queen Size, Slate Blue (with Safe & Warm Low-Voltage Technology) by Christopher Clearfield

I've had three low voltage electric blankets for different beds before and fell in love with the technology. I won't go into all the details because you wouldn't be here checking them out if you didn't already know the ins and outs. I just want to add a few personal observations to what you already know. First, for some reason, there are places that believe things like this should cost a fortune. The technology here is not rocket science, a low-voltage ceiling should not cost more than a normal one. Ironically, the brown color I chose was a lot cheaper on this brand than any other color or brand, and an identical item in a few other colors cost almost three times as much. Choose carefully, if you don't care too much about the color, it's not for me - the blanket is always hidden under the blanket anyway. Compared to some others, this one has a dial. I prefer this, it's easier to use, especially in the dark, there's a wider temperature range, and fewer errors. I wouldn't feel that way about the dials on traditional electric blankets, as some turn on and off with a loud clicking sound, but this one is completely silent. I think it works by maintaining a constant temperature rather than cycling on and off. Speaking of noise, some have noticed that they hear a high pitched sound on some ceilings. I don't think it's normal, I've never heard it from a low voltage ceiling I've had and I don't hear it from this one. As for the fire hazard, the reality is that anything that uses electricity can become a fire hazard, that's an absolute godsend. They sell millions of these things and it's very rare for anyone to have a problem and who knows, it could be due to a thousand different things including misuse or abuse by the user. This particular model has had over 3,000 customers reported and literally a few people may have experienced a defect or misused it. I once had a car that had an engine fire and I never thought I would never own a Ford again because they could catch fire. In other words, I wouldn't worry. If you've never used a low voltage blanket before, you might initially think that it doesn't get as hot as a regular electric blanket. This is only partially true, most conventional electric blankets will heat up, turn off, cool down and heat up again. A low voltage blanket raises the temperature under the blanket just enough to keep you warm and maintain a constant temperature. Different technologies, same results. In terms of actual real life use, I turned it on to position 5 the first night which was very cold and it was very hot, in fact it was too warm for me. In the end, I settled on position 2 as the ideal sleeping temperature. It's just not true that low voltage ceilings don't keep you warm, I think if I turn them on before 10 I could fry an egg on them. under a blanket with thick wires and a large electrical junction box at your feet and worrying about waves of electrical energy penetrating your body instead of feeling no wires, not kicking a big, heavy plug all night and knowing that only low voltage is used, well, the difference is like night and day. Please note that with this blanket, the part that protrudes into the blanket is very small and is at the very edge where you will never feel it.
