Yes, electric blankets can be considered safe and healthy when used properly. However, it is important to pay attention to safety features such as overheating protection and automatic shut-off and also important not to overuse the electric blanket.

Choosing between a heating pad and an electric blanket depends on your individual needs. A heating pad is usually smaller and focuses on a specific area of the body, such as the back or neck. It provides targeted heat and can be very effective for aches and pains. An electric blanket, on the other hand, is larger and covers a larger area, such as the entire bed or sofa. It provides uniform warmth and allows you to snuggle up completely. So if you are looking for a large area heat source, an electric blanket is a better choice. Ultimately, it comes down to your personal preferences and intended use.

The power consumption of an electric blanket can vary depending on the model, heating level and length of use. As a rule, however, electric blankets consume between 50 and 200 watts. To determine the exact power consumption, you can take a look at the energy label or the manufacturer's information. However, keep in mind that the actual power consumption depends on various factors, such as the duration of use and the selected heating level. In order to save energy, it is advisable not to leave the electric blanket switched on for an unnecessarily long time and to switch it off in good time when it is no longer needed.
