Power on for five minutes and warm all night.
As a cost-effective heating artifact, electric blanket can be described as "all the rage".
For families who don't have heating at home, it can be very warm by laying out their own bedding with an electric heating pad.
After all, after a busy day, who wouldn't want to get into a warm bed at night.
However, in recent years, the market for electric blankets seems to be gradually declining.
No matter how low the price is, more and more people are reluctant to buy it.
So why don't people "love" electric blankets anymore?
Safety hazards
It is undeniable that electric blankets can bring us enough warmth in a short period of time.
However, as a product that is inseparable from electricity, there will naturally be certain safety hazards when it is used.
Moreover, under normal circumstances, the electric blanket is almost "zero distance" from our body.
Even many times, we don't turn off the electric blanket all night in order to keep warm.
When we fall asleep, it is difficult to perceive the external risks in the first place.
By the time we react, the images we often don't want to see have already happened.
The reason why the electric blanket can generate heat is not only the indispensable electricity, but also depends on the various wiring inside it.
When usually in use, the electric blanket is spread flat on the bed and will not affect the internal wiring.
But what about when it's not needed?
I believe that many people may have folded it many times and stored it in the cabinet.
However, there are certain safety risks in this practice.
Once we don't pay attention, it is very likely that the original structure will be destroyed in the process of folding.
This is likely to create a risk of electricity leakage the next time the electric blanket is used.
Don't underestimate the leakage of electric blankets, because the harm is terrible.
Similarly, when there is a correlation between electric blankets and electricity, there is no room for the existence of "water".
If we accidentally spill water on the electric blanket, there is also a risk of electricity leakage.
Now the electric blankets on the market are "complicated", and the quality of the products is worrying in order to make profits.
If we buy a substandard product, or if our electric blanket is aging, it is very likely that spontaneous combustion will occur soon after connecting to the power.
In addition to safety, there is another aspect of electric blankets that people are also concerned about.
The sense of experience is not high
While we enjoy the warmth brought by electric blankets, we also have to face various problems that come with it.
The long night was full of cold winds, and it was natural to use electric blankets to keep warm.
The electric blanket is constantly heated, and with it, it makes us feel very dry.
The slow passage of water brings severe dry mouth, and many people are even woken up by "dryness" in the middle of the night.
In desperation, many people either use humidifiers or put a glass of water on their bedside.
At the same time, in addition to being thirsty and needing to drink water, our skin also needs to be "hydrated" at this time.
During the operation of the electric blanket, some static electricity will be released unconsciously.
It seems like nothing is wrong, but in fact it makes our skin distressed.
Due to the long-term "lack of water", the skin of the body is not only very dry, but even has the problem of itching.
If we don't take precautions, our bodies will be affected.
At night, we wanted to sleep peacefully, but who would have thought that we would be woken up again and again because of the electric blanket.
And because the electric blanket is designed to "fix" the temperature range.
As a result, electric blankets cannot meet everyone's different needs.
People gradually found all kinds of unavoidable problems in the process of use, and naturally they were reluctant to use it again.
In addition to the poor use experience, the living space of electric blankets has a lot to do with the market.
Substitutes are frequent
The continuous development of science and technology has brought a lot of "benefits" to our lives.
In order to allow our consumers to still enjoy enough warmth in winter, heating manufacturers can be described as "trying".
In response to the problem of drying electric blankets, manufacturers have developed water blankets.
A good water blanket can not only solve the problem of drying, but also adjust the temperature to meet different needs.
In addition, inverter air conditioning is also an indispensable presence in winter heating.
Nowadays, people's living conditions are gradually getting better, and almost every household has air conditioning.
Today's air conditioners not only cool down in the summer, but also heat in the winter.
And thanks to the continuous development of air conditioning technology, it does not consume too much electricity when using air conditioning in winter.
In addition to air conditioning, heating in the north also makes many families no longer use electric blankets.
When the heating is turned on, it won't be cold at home even if you only wear a single shirt.
In such a warm space, people naturally don't need electric blankets as heating appliances.
People have demand, and then slowly a small market will be formed.
Once a product is superior to the traditional electric blanket in terms of use experience, environmental protection and other aspects.
Then it will naturally affect the living space of the live blanket in the market.
In addition, there is another reason that we need to know.
Environmental issues
When the concept of green is constantly promoted, we are also invisibly affected.
Gradually, everyone pays attention to the environmental protection issues around them, and they also see the other side of many things more and more.
For the function of electric blankets to keep warm, we must support and praise.
However, we tend to ignore that electric blankets will actually produce certain "harmful molecules" during use.
It not only affects our physical health, but also invisibly pollutes the environment.
In addition, there are generally some quality problems with the electric heating products sold on the market.
This also leads to the fact that the electric blankets we buy home always break after using them a few times.
Electric blankets have a short lifespan, and with them comes the need for frequent replacement.
When an old electric blanket is damaged, we usually throw it away.
After all, after the electric blanket is broken, it loses its value.
It's just a waste of space, and it's really useless.
When we change frequently, we are actually wasting resources and harming the natural environment.
The rising awareness of environmental protection has made us see a lot of things that we haven't paid attention to, and we have also realized a lot of truths.
The electric blanket used to accompany countless of us through cold nights one after another.
With the continuous development of science and technology, electric blankets are slowly "taking a back seat".
The new heating method allows people to see a variety of possibilities, and also allows everyone to truly enjoy the gospel brought by technology.
So what are the reasons why electric blankets are becoming less and less popular?
