Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…….WOW!!!!!!
Am I the only hot blooded person here or in the world ????
I can’t get anywhere near an electric warmer of any kind……I get hot just looking at one.

Me too, I turn the thermostat down to 68 at night.

And a good old Hudson Bay wool blanket for hubby's side of the bed.
 

We have one and have used it every night during the winter for 18 years. It still works perfectly. It was made in Biddeford, Maine.

The bad news - the brand, Biddeford Blankets, was purchased by a Taiwanese company around 2002 and all production was moved to China in 2004. It's my understanding that although they kept the name, it's now an entirely different product.
 
I've thought of getting a heated throw for my cats. I'd only have it on when I was there with them. I tried using my small heating pad but they end up fighting over it. With my last two cats, only one liked it warm. I'd put it on the lowest setting and Chloe loved it.

I find mixed reviews on them however.

No electric devices near the kitties. Those devices pose a shock hazard even at low voltages.
 
@MickaC , you and I and a few others here must be the unusual ones.

I have never had, nor used when on vacation, an electric blanket.
I nestle into the cold sheets, have a vellux blanket and a comforter on top, if I need both.
Five minutes later, the sheets are warm and snuggly. I don't like to be hot when I sleep.

Now, before I sleep, that's another story for another time.

It sure is...absolute junk,lucky to get through a winter with one and on high,barely warm.
Thank you for that info,I was wondering what happened to the quality.
 
To each their own.
We all like something different…..if one finds electric devices to keep warm…..go for it.
I use a heating pad for muscle or back issues…..but…..it does tend to warm me up…..so the Vellux blanket gets kicked off.
I am so hot blooded. 🥵.

Any suggestions, other than dual controls.

Any particularly good brands. We can’t get everything you can in the US, but might be able if I search.

I need a plug for my body; one that keeps me warm all winter. Brrr.

We use a heated mattress pad however it is dual control but until deep winter partner does not turn his on. Me, I love just to have the chill taken off the sheets before winter. After winter sets in, it goes on high about a hour beforE we go to bed. Then off it goes for the night.
