Best gift ever! I LOVE my heated car blanket, it's SUPER easy to use and keeps me SOOOO WARM on those early morning before the car is warmed up enough for heat but if I wait any longer I'll be late LMAO It's super soft and comes with a clear zip bag to keep the blanket in when not in use. The shipping was EXCELLENT, it got here basically 2 days later which was quicker than expected. I also got another one to give as a gift.....the sale price was AMAZING! I should have ordered one for everyone in my family!

The fleece material of the blanket itself is good, the stitching and overall quality is good, color very nice. Good long cord on it. Now the biggest downside is that this thing just doesn't get very warm. Used it over top of me on the couch for 45 minutes and didn't feel anything. Put it under me (sat on it) on the couch, with a regular blanket on top of me, and then after a half hour of watching TV I realized it was somewhat warm and it was working, but it never gets beyond "warm" and you only get that warm feeling if you sit on it and use another blanket to trap the heat in. That doesn't make it useless in my book. On the plus side it seems to be fairly efficient. It only draws 27-38 watts according to the lithium power station I have been using to run it. I don't know exactly how many hours total its been ran but my 288 wh battery pack (very roughly 19ish amp hours) has been running it off and on for at least 8-10 hours total and as I type this I still have 23% battery left. One unfortunate note I have come to notice is that a portion of that 30-some watts its drawing is being lost right at the tip of the power plug. It took me a long time to notice, but I've discovered that whenever I unplug it the tip of the power plug is hot to the touch. I've tried this with a couple different sockets now on different power packs, all with the same result. Electricity is not being transferred efficiently at the tip of the plug, causing it to get hot, and the tip of the plug is NOT where we want the heat/energy to go! This is energy being lost before it make sit into the blanket to warm me. So if the overall draw is 32 watts, based on how you can barely touch the tip of the plug without being burnt I'd guestimate that only 20ish watts is making it into the blanket. That stinks. I very well might cut the end off this and use a different connector for it, like an andersen plug. The 12v cigarette lighter plugs we are used to and find so convenient were never designed or intended to be used as power connecters the way we use them today, so I won't dock the blanket overall too hard on that because they can't control the fact that 12v cigarette ports have accidently become the defacto 12v accessory port of choice, but it is still something I figured I should share. Because my battery pack tells me the wattage being pulled I am able to observe that this blanket DOES HAVE some kind of regulation in it, because once I was sitting on the blanket with another regular blanket over the top of me watching TV for a few hours I began to notice that the wattage draw from the blanket would occasionally drop to 0 watts for a few minutes, then it would go to 30-some watts for a while, and back to 0, and repeat. So it DOES have some kind of self regulating feature, which makes it very efficient with my battery pack when used properly (ie, underneath you with a top layer to trap the heat). I was going to say that the blanket doesn't appear to have any low voltage cut-off for battery protection, but low and behold just now at 10.35 volts the blanket's red LED is still ON at the plug but my battery pack shows no current is being drawn... I've given the blanket a few minutes in open air to cool down and.... ope... well folks now the blanket is on again drawing 27 watts, and my power pack is down to 10.1 volts so it seems the blanket was simply up to temp and not drawing because it was regulating temperature. So I will confirm that there is NO low battery protection in this blanket's circuitry, if left on it will run a battery beyond dead and probably even beyond the point where it could damage your battery, so keep an eye on that. Also there is no switch or heat settings. Plugged in is ON, unplugged is OFF, and thats the only control you get (plus its built in regulation). If you are only partially sitting on it (ie, on a computer chair) and the part of it that reads temp to regulate is not underneath you then it will basically just run steady but it still never gets "hot". Warm, but not hot. All that being said, the temperature that it self-regulates to is pleasant. Although it is very slow to heat up, I think it is perfect as something to lay under you in your sleeping bag for camping and even though it has no controls the temp it levels out at is comfortable and the fact that it will shut off at a certain temp means a modest battery or power supply will keep you warm all night without wasting any extra electricity. Its decently pleasant under you on the couch for TV but simply too slow to heat and not hot enough that I don't think we will use it much for that other than the testing I have done for this review. So in conclusion... I got this dirt cheap on deal of the day, combined with a rewards certificate, so I paid almost nothing for it and at that price I am happy. As I said this would work perfect for camping so long as you use it properly bundled up with other layers. The downside is I think that is really the only valid use I will have for it, it is far to slow to use for passenger comfort in the car unless you are going to be on a road trip for 2+ hours and that is a non issue for me (my car has heated seats anyways). If you can snag a good deal and understand its limitations, go for it. At full price expecting high performance, keep looking for another option.

I bought this because we have 2 classic convertibles, and on occasion I get cold. This has been amazing for the price because it does heat up nicely with the 12V "cigarette" type plug. So happy we bought this.

The Salwart 12V Car Blanket was the surprise gift of this Christmas to my daughter! She and her family said they never knew such an item existed!! From the time she was a little one, as soon as the car or motor home started moving, she was out ‘like a light!’ She was thrilled to get this beautiful black and green plaid Stalwart Electric blanket and she says it works great!!! She is 43 now, but still my little girl! And she still loves to sleep in the car, whenever it moves!!!

Awesome value for a deal of the day. This is a perfect little blanket for the car, and also it is low enough wattage to use with a portable battery power station for colder weather vehicle camping. Typically draws between 30-60 watts per hour based on battery monitor. Don’t know about durability or longevity but definitely a good value for a comfortable amenity.

My wife loves this. We do not have a top of the line vehicle with heated seats so this provide additional warmth with out the noise of a heater blowing warm are. It heats quickly and the cord is long enough to reach her when she sits in the back seat with our granddaughter. It would be nice if it had a thermostat and heat setting, but that is not necessary. It is just unplugged when hot and then plugged back in when cooled down.

Love this blanket! It keeps you so warm! The material is nice and the cord is long.

Extremely helpful for keeping someone warm in your car without turning on the heater.

I ordered this to use in the car while I wait for my son to get out of an hour long class. It was 25 degrees today and this kept me warm but I felt like it could get hotter. It is a nice size. There's not much to it and the temperature doesn't adjust . Hoping it lasts a few winters. It was a great price on sale.

It bought this to keep my wife and daughter warm when we go camping. I planned on using a portable power supply, 20000 mah. The blanket does work with the power supply but it drains it quick, 20-30minutes. However in the car directly plugged into the 12v plug it works great. The cord is long enough to sit near the car and have it plugged in.

This is the best warmer electric blanket I ever purchased

Feels Great! From Houston, TX. Decided to get this because of the recent weather here in Houston, TX. I got 1 of these since they were on sale Deal of the Day. I haven't had a chance to test it out. So far, it did feel nice when I felt the material. I'm hoping it will keep one warm when put into use.

I didn't think I would use this blanket as much as I already have, but it's cold and this blanket is awesome! When I start my work car in the mornings, I plug it in to help warm up my seat before my 35 minute commute to work. It is an excellent addition to have on these recent, severely cold mornings. I leave it partially folded, laying across my lap and it makes a huge difference in warmth as I wait my car to warm up. The quality of the blanket is equally impressive. The material is thick and very warm on its own. Keep in mind this is only powered via a 12V output and isn't going to be super warm like your household heated blankets are, but it definitely provides enough heat to help maintain your bodily temperature and keep you warm. I highly recommend adding this blanket to your emergency kit as your car doesn't have to be running for it to have power. (This is also something to keep in mind with regular use too - don't leave it plugged in because it doesn't turn of when you kill the engine and will eventually drain your car's battery.)

This is great to have in your car during the winter.

Took a long road trip recently and these did great. Soft blanket material, only downside was that there is no temp control, so its either on or off. Gets very warm, but not overly hot. Great idea to have in the vehicle for cold climates.

Who wouldn’t like an electric blanket to use in their car? It is just that though, and it gets pretty warm too. Bought as a deal of the day for under twenty bucks. Liked it so much that, when it was a deal of the day again, I bought another one.

Works good. Takes a little bit to get really warm. It is great to have in the car for long trips. Kids love it. The long cord is great for getting to all areas of the car. Got it on a daily deal and worth it.

Have had this for a year now. It’s been in my car ever since and it works wonder. It’s always in the PNW. It’s great for naps in the car during my lunch time and snow days while warming up the car

Great cold weather car blanket, on those cold days gives nice warmth cord is long enough to easily use , also love the plaid look looks great against my cars black interior
