Great product for a strange need!

I am actually using this for a very unusual purpose. I grow bonsai and some of them have to overwinter in a small vinyl greenhouse. The greenhouse naturally maintains a temperature of just 4 degrees above the outside temperature. We've had a very cold season so far and it's only January! Finding a safe and cost-effective way to keep the greenhouse temperature above freezing was a challenge. This is a very humid environment, so the electronics must be sealed. Gas or propane is also not good. I…

Pros
  • UL and CSA ETL certified
Cons
  • I will add later

Overall a good product with a questionable technical choice

This powerblanket is beautifully finished and works well. Quickly picks up and maintains temperature. The heat appears to be fairly evenly distributed across the "inner" surface. That's why I give 4 stars - initial performance. My only complaint is that unlike the photo that accompanies this listing, what we received has the cord almost protruding from the top of the duvet. It makes no sense and the cord dangles (that's how gravity works) where it plugs into the heavy-duty power strip. The…

Pros
  • Avoiding waste by maintaining a constant temperature
Cons
  • Requires an outlet

That's a good idea; low power consumption

Update December 2017; the second Power Blanket no longer works. Both units simply sat on 55 gallon kegs in an air conditioned warehouse. Both are still in "like new" condition. PowerBlanket has not yet answered an email or call. 2 x $300 per window. 55 gallon model for $300). We have tried (2) units and both have failed within 6 months of use. In comparison, rubber band drum warmers (about $180) and metal drum straps (about $300) work alongside power blankets. All of them (about 15) worked…

Pros
  • Pre-installed internal thermostat prevents product temperature from exceeding 145 degrees F (Β± 5 degrees F/3 degrees C)
Cons
  • unreliable
