“Tried it out on my 40 ft Bavaria yacht "Spirit of Sylvia" at FSC. kept me warm and turned off automatically via the 45 min timer to save the battery. Now to try it on Mitsi Express camper van "Betsy" the intended use.”
“When off the grid my wife was keen on the old hot water bottle but, it didn't last the night. Early morning misery.
This blanket and the power pack just saved the relationship.
Happy Wife etc. etc.
Cheers, DL.”
“As this is a 12 volt blanket, the heat generated is not particularly high - as other have reported. Sometimes it is actually difficult to feel much heat at all when touched.
Where the blanket works best is when it is placed under exisiting blankets rather than on top (like a throw rug). This way it takes the chill out of the bed without heat being dissipated into the air. It can also be used this way to help provide additional warmth when sleeping.
I use it via a battery box in a caravan and the current draw aligns with its specification. For under blanket/doona use, it's satisfactory and certainly was appreciated during my recent winter trip away.”
“Excellent for making cold nights in the tent more comfortable. Warm without being too hot and the shut-off is really nice to avoid draining the battery too much. Highly recommended.”
