When comparing the advantages and disadvantages of electric blankets and plumbing blankets, you may wish to make a comparison first.
The electric blanket is heated by the internal heating wire to generate heat, while the water heating blanket is heated by the external main unit, and then circulated to the inside of the blanket through the water pipe for heating.
Therefore, the safety of the plumbing blanket is higher than that of the electric blanket, and the plumbing blanket usually adopts the PTC heating method of water and electricity separation, so that the mattress part will not be electrified, thus avoiding the risk of leakage and fire. It can also be washed in small portions.
In addition, since plumbing blankets don't make your mouth feel as dry as electric blankets, they're more comfortable to use.
However, plumbing blankets also have their drawbacks.
First of all, it usually costs a bit more than an electric blanket. Secondly, the heating speed of the plumbing blanket is slower, and there will be a buzzing sound when the main unit is running. People with sound allergies may not be very friendly. The most important point is that the plumbing blanket must be left on all the time, and if there is a power outage, the experience of using the plumbing blanket will be particularly poor, and it will make people feel as cold as sleeping on a water bag.
In contrast, the advantage of electric blankets is that their development has been very mature, and their power-saving, soft and comfortable, and versatile functions can obviously fully meet the needs of consumers.
However, the disadvantages of electric blankets have always existed, and it will feel very dry and uncomfortable to use. For families with small children or the elderly, there may be a risk of electric shock if bedwetting occurs. In the end, sleeping on an electrified blanket all night made many consumers feel uneasy and worried about fire.
To sum up, if you need to use a heated blanket all night, the experience and safety of the plumbing blanket will be better. If you just warm up the bed before bed, after warming up
Turn it off, and an electric blanket will suffice.
