Anyone bought a new electric blanket lately and managed to get one that gets good and toasty? I had to buy a new one last year and despite doing my research it's not a patch on the old one which had 9 seat settings and just a nice sliding button to turn it on/off/up/down, could just reach down side of bed and do it without even looking, heated up within minutes, literally while you would be washing your teeth. Displays that require you to actively look at them to set are a nuisance but I'd live with it at this stage once I got proper heat.
This new one while it claims a 5 min heat up doesn't deliver on the heat though, even when on ages it to me is barely lukewarm, I want hotter especially initially anyway and definitely this week as not alone the cold weather but I have a bug of some non Covid variety and am frozen!
I did research last time and vaguely recall that I came across something about them being 'dumbed down' same as was done to vacuum cleaners few years back, don't know if true or not but this much fancier model than original was not worth buying. I will buy again if I could be sure of getting something better. Anyone got a suggestion/recommendation for a recently bought blanket?
