[Shop-talk] Off topic - Electric heating bed blanket

[Steven Trovato]

Well, my first answer is to agree with everyone else, and say that 
yes, an electric blanket should feel quite warm.  But my answer and 
most of the other answers are based on our experiences many years 
ago.  There have been a lot of safety concerns over electric 
blankets, everything from harmful electric fields to overheating 
people to fire hazards.  It is possible that the newest electric 
blankets have been regulated to be less warm.  Does anyone have any 
experience with a new electric blanket?
