Kako delujejo električne odeje?

Električne odeje razpršijo toploto skozi vgrajene karbonske žice v tkanini (ko so priključene na steno), da se odeja enakomerno segreje. Temperaturo lahko upravljate na krmilni enoti, ki se običajno nahaja med odejo in električno vtičnico, da najdete idealno toploto in toploto. Večina električnih odej je na voljo v štirih najpogostejših velikostih postelj:enojna, dvojna, zakonska in velika postelja.

Katere so različne vrste električnih odej?

Tu so tri glavne vrste električnih odej:

• Električna odeja: To je znano tudi kot spodnja odeja. Raztegne se čez vašo vzmetnico kot navadna rjuha, da ogreje vašo posteljo od spodaj.
• Električna neprilagojena odeja: Temu rečemo tudi odeja, ki se zaveže. Ne prilega se okrog vogalov vaše vzmetnice, temveč ima priložene vezice, s katerimi je odeja pritrjena na vašo vzmetnico.
• Ogrevana odeja: To je kot običajna odeja, ki jo lahko posedete na svojo doono in si ogrejete posteljo. Električne odeje lahko uporabljate tudi med gledanjem televizije na kavču ali kjer koli v hiši.

Is it okay to sleep with an electric blanket on?

No ─ it’s generally NOT recommended to leave your electric blanket on while you’re sleeping, even if it has an overnight mode. Energy Australia suggests that electric blankets usually only need to run for 10 to 30 minutes to keep you warm all night.

If you do want to use a heated throw for an extended period of time, it’s common for electric fitted blankets and throws to have an overheat protection function and auto-off function to ensure the blanket turns off after a few hours or when it gets too hot. Some models also provide timer controls, allowing you to set the electric blanket to run for a specific length of time.

Are electric blankets safe to use?

All electric blankets sold in Australia must comply with strict safety standards, so they’re perfectly safe to use as long as you follow all care and safety instructions to the letter. While new electric blankets typically pose no safety risks; misused, worn or damaged models can cause burns and start electrical fires in some cases, so always check your appliance before turning it on.

As a general rule, you should replace your electric blanket every five years (or have it checked by the manufacturer) or if you notice any signs of frayed fabric, bent wiring, scorch marks, exposed elements, damaged cords or loose cables. Lastly, be aware that it’s not recommended to use electric blankets with young children due to the control required to manage heat settings.

Do electric blankets use a lot of electricity?

Compared to other heating appliances, electric blankets don’t consume as much energy and typically use 200W per hour (depending on the heat setting). Alternatively, most electric heaters use more than 1kW per hour.

Energy Australia claims energy blankets will generally set you back 4 cents per hour (as opposed to 15 cents like some space heaters), making it a cost-effective way to keep warm.

How to clean an electric blanket

Electric blankets and heated throws can either be hand washed or chucked in the washing machine, depending on the model. Just make sure to read the instruction manual to find out the best way to clean your blanket and avoid shrinking the item or causing a potential fire hazard.

According to Sunbeam, here’s how to wash your electric blanket in a washing machine.

How to clean an electric blanket using a washing machine

1. Remove the controller(s) and any cables.
2. Presoak the blanket for 15 minutes with mild soap and cold water.
3. Use the delicate or gentle wash cycle for two minutes, before rinsing the blanket in cold water.
4. Run the spin dry function on the washing machine for two minutes. If using a dryer, choose the low temperature setting.
5. Gently reshape the blanket.
6. Without using pegs, place the blanket over a clothesline or shower rod to fully dry.

The appliance brand also gave a few tips on cleaning your electric blanket or heated throw.

• Wash the electric blanket or heated throw before you use it for the first time.
• Disconnect the power cord before detaching the controller from the heated blanket or throw.
• Avoid going to the laundromat and using commercial dryers because these can get too hot and damage the wiring.
• Avoid using sprays, bleach, or chemical cleaners.
• Don’t iron the blanket or throw.
• Never wash the controller or any cables.
• Don’t dry clean the electric blanket or throw.
• Make sure the electric blanket or heated throw is completely dry before using it.
• Don’t store the blanket with mothballs.

4 features to look for in an electric blanket

If you’re considering buying an electric blanket, here are some important features to look out for:

• Size: Size matters and that’s why you’ll want to pick the right blanket size for your bed. Most electric blankets are available in a range of sizes to suit any bed size, including single, double, queen and king size options. Some models also have an extra warm foot zone to keep you from getting cold feet.
• Heat settings: Most electric blankets come with adjustable heat settings to give you different (at least three) temperature options to choose from. But if you and your spouse would prefer separate heat settings, then you’ll want to find a model with dual control to allow you to adjust the heat on both sides of your blanket. You’ll have to manually adjust heat settings on most low-range models, but some high-end appliances allow you to pre-program these settings, to warm up your blanket automatically during a set period before bedtime and will automatically shut off after a certain time.
• Cleaning: If you’re not a fan of hand washing (let’s be honest, who is?), you’ll want to ensure your electric blanket is machine washable and that it comes with detachable controls to make for an easier clean.
• Warranty: Make sure your electric blanket comes with a two-year warranty at the very least and keep your receipt in case you notice any faults with your appliance when you get home. Some brands offer up warranties for up to five years on certain models.
