Pro Sizing Tip for Electric Blanket

Instead of trying to heat all the air in a freezing room with a 1,500W space heater, put an electric blanket or heated mattress pad under your comforter. It draws ~45W average and runs for 16–20 hours on a single 1,000Wh power station!

#1 Buyer Mistake to Avoid

Buying a cheap 12V car blanket that barely gets warm when a standard 120V household electric blanket runs effortlessly on any 500Wh–1,000Wh pure sine wave station.
