The Latest Electric Blankets
These days, Americans are looking to conserve energy and save money any way they can. The credit crunch, the mortgage crisis, pains at the fuel pumps and rising food costs have got us down. To make it through those cold winters using less power, your answer may be to use an electric blanket! Electric blankets might consume 200 watts (or 2 kilowatt hours for ten hours of use), which would cost between 15 and 30 cents, depending on your location. What a deal!
There are many noteworthy brands to consider when looking at blankets that are wired for electricity. The audaciously titled “Best Electric Blanket” offered by the esteemed bedding accessories company, Hammacher Schlemmer, is one of the top items. After rigorous testing, this low-voltage, machine-washable blanket has been proven extremely safe, with a ten-hour automatic shut-off and low voltage. The hypo-allergenic fleece is extremely comfortable and the large-print, easy-to-read controller appeals to senior citizens particularly. Yet, even the lonely single person can snuggle up in a warm bed for $199.95.
The electrically wired blankets by Sunbeam are another reliable product line. They have many different models, materials, sizes, colors and prices available. The MicroMink claims to be “one of the most luxurious electric blankets ever made.” This 100% polyester blanket comes with an auto dimmer setting for nighttime, 10 temperature settings, silent mode and is machine washable. The blanket meets UL safety standards and is constructed so that it will not overheat from bunching, folding, or adding another blanket on top of it. You can buy the blanket in king, queen, full or twin for $35 to $80.
