Electric blanket purchasing tips

Winter has come today. I haven’t even had time to wear the autumn clothes I prepared, so I put on a thick cotton-padded jacket, but it’s still very cold in the house. I lay in the cold bed shivering at night… My friends in the north, it’s okay. There are heaters and floor heating inside. Although the temperature in the south is not as low as in the north, it is still cold indoors. There is no heater yet. In winter, you can only use “artificial heating”. It is not easy to buy an electric blanket that is safe and warm and saves electricity than an air conditioner. Does it smell good?

Although it is a very fragrant electric blanket, if you choose poorly, you will end up buying a “little bomb” to take home! The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine pointed out in the “Electric Blanket Quality and Safety Risk Warning” issued in October 2016 that electric blankets are in contact with the human body for a long time and are easily squeezed and wrinkled. They are also often used in special environments such as night sleep, so they are often It is a type of household appliance that causes more accidents.

Therefore, we should also pay attention to how to choose a safe and warm electric blanket. Today, I will give you some knowledge about electric blanket purchasing and evaluate several popular electric blankets currently on the market, so that you can find The safe and warm electric blanket that’s right for you!

Classification of electric blankets:

There are mainly types of electric blankets on the market: traditional electric blankets, water-heated electric blankets and graphene electric blankets. Each of the three electric blankets has its own advantages and disadvantages.

1. Traditional electric blanket

For traditional electric blankets, the advantages are that they are cheap and easy to operate. The disadvantages are that they cannot be folded and washed, and they are more likely to have leakage. The internal heating wire is easy to age and is low in safety. For babies and the elderly, such electric blankets are not suitable and pose a great safety risk! ! !

2. Water heating electric blanket

For water-heated electric blankets, the water heated by the host is used to transport the water into the blanket to keep warm. In this way, water and electricity isolation is relatively safe. However, the disadvantages are also obvious. Not only does heating take a certain amount of time, but also water must be added for drainage. , it is very troublesome to operate, and the circulation pump will also make noise when working, which is not conducive to the sleep of the elderly and infants.

3. Carbon fiber electric blanket

The carbon fiber electric blanket is made of carbon fiber whose main component is carbon atoms. It has strong thermal conductivity and a relatively fast heating speed, which can avoid the problem of traditional electric blanket metal wires heating up and wasting heat. And the power is relatively low. Even if there is a short circuit problem in the wire, it will not cause harm to the human body. It is simple to operate and can be washed directly. This type of electric blanket is currently the most worth buying. The disadvantage is also the cost of the materials used. It is relatively high, and electric blankets are generally more expensive, but for the long-term plan of safety and warmth, you can still buy one!

How to choose an electric blanket

(1) Look for “3C certification”

This certification method determines the quality of the electric blanket. If the quality is not up to standard, safety in use will be a problem, let alone warmth! Another thing to note is that the maximum service life of electric blankets is 6 years. If used for too long, the internal circuit may age and crack, posing safety hazards. Please pay attention to this! ! !

(2) It is best to choose low-power electric heating

Although the power is related to the heating speed of the electric blanket, it also affects the power consumption. The smaller the power, the more power will be saved. This depends on the electricity consumption choice of the individual family~

(3) Consider the temperature setting of the electric blanket in advance

Electric blankets generally have two switches or buttons, a power switch and a temperature adjustment switch. Whether one person has single control, two persons have single control, or two persons have dual control depends on personal usage habits and which type is more convenient to use!

How to use electric blanket correctly

(1) Try not to fold and use electric blankets

Most of the leakage and fire accidents that occur with electric blankets are caused by internal short circuits caused by folding. When storing and transporting, you should also avoid folding it repeatedly in the same position; and do not use the electric blanket on metal objects or hard objects with sharp protrusions to prevent the insulating materials of the positive and negative electrodes inside the heating wire from breaking due to folding.

(2) Not directly close to the skin when used

Direct contact with the skin of an electric blanket may cause “low-temperature burns”, and the fabric of some electric blankets is relatively thin. If the user lies directly on it, he will actually feel the uneven feeling caused by the wires at the bottom, which is uncomfortable. The correct way to use it is to place the electric blanket on the pad. Get under the quilt or sheets.

(3) Turn on the electric blanket half an hour in advance

When we go to bed, we turn on the electric blanket half an hour in advance and turn off the power when we are ready to fall asleep. This can greatly avoid the risk of using the electric blanket all night and reduce the occurrence of accidents!

(4) Pay attention to hydration

The weather is relatively dry in winter, and using an electric blanket may cause water loss in the human body. You can replenish water appropriately before use.
