Introduction
Electrical blanket design hasn’t moved on an enormous quantity for the reason that Nineteen Eighties and most are nonetheless a wired blanket that straps onto a mattress.

Design and options
- Matches over the mattress
- Twin controls
- Reveals power use
One of many components that distinguishes the Konnect Smart Blanket from others is that it’s one of many best to suit securely. There’s without having to carry up the mattress to loop lengthy straps beneath. As a substitute, there’s an elasticated skirt, with holes both aspect to permit the control connections to be hid.
On high, there’s a velvety comfortable floor that’s calmly padded, making it virtually not possible to really feel the wires beneath.
Take away the controls and it’s additionally washable on a fragile 30°C cycle – though the directions recommend solely doing this about 5 instances in the course of the blanket’s lifespan.
Its controls aren’t essentially the most intuitive, with the foot icon being odd-looking, though the digital show reveals what’s been chosen.

Whereas app control is a useful characteristic of the Konnect Smart Blanket, it initially wouldn’t hook up with my Android telephone, because the app mentioned it wasn’t appropriate. I had extra success putting in it on an older Apple telephone: whereas it failed to attach a few instances, ultimately, it labored, permitting me to set a weekly schedule for the electrical blanket, change it on and off remotely and see power utilization over numerous intervals. A current Android replace has made the app appropriate with later variations of Android.
The blanket itself doesn’t warmth up as quick as some that I’ve beforehand examined, nonetheless, so the app additionally means you can provide it the 30-minute heat-up that the directions recommend earlier than entering into mattress. I discovered that it took about 10-Quarter-hour to begin to really feel any warmth coming by way of, even when it was in its ‘Turbo’ mode, which boosts the blanket’s warmth within the first 10-50 minutes.
It’s extraordinarily snug to sleep on: I didn’t really feel the ultra-thin wires as I lay on it, and, due to the control connections being set on the corners, there was no onerous plastic lump to get in the way in which of my shoulders.
The slight padding and clean floor added further consolation, and I preferred that the controls lit up when being set however then dimmed down.
