Roadpro BlackCanyon Outfitters RPHB-110DB 12-Volt Polar Fleece Heated Travel Blanket

I have had 5 Star performance from this, though I use it only indoors.If I had read the 1 star reviews on this, I don't think I would have bought it; there are some horror stories there.I got this to use indoors on my legs while sitting in a chair. I wanted a small AC electric blanket, but twin size is the smallest I found -- too big. And heating pads are too small. This one is also bigger than I wanted, but the closest I could find. It may be that different people receive different sized blankets, as the advert does not give the dimensions. What I got isX-large, 58" x 42"12 Volts DC8 foot power cord (no switch),cigarette lighter plug,"10 Amps, 55 Watts" (12V x 10A = 120 Watts; math is wrong!)6.7 Amps, 80.4W, as listed here has correct math.Made of 100 % "Polar Fleece" (I didn't know there were sheep at the poles!)Made in ___ (you guessed it) Chinawarning: Don't sit on it.In that it is rated X-large, probably Roadpro has a smaller size, I just found out:RoadPro RPHB-70SG 12-Volt 57 x 27Model #: RPHB-70SGfrom $23.79$10.49 ShippingNewEgg has the smaller size.The material is soft and comfortable; you can somewhat feel the heat wires inside, but they are not annoying.I have run this off of a DC 12 Volt jump-start device for jump-starting cars. I just plug it into the built-in cigarette lighter style socket. But I have ordered from Ebay a power supply for it. You can get something on Ebay for about $8 or less, which will power this, like a laptop computer "power supply adaptor." I opted for a $15 Xbox adaptor, which puts out 130 Watts max.It warms my legs nicely. I think it cuts off automatically in 20 minutes, not sure.As to the 1 star horror stories. I guess you can get a lemon.But some of the horror stories may be the result of wrong operation or common rough/careless treatment of things in a car. You must not fold this blanket over or bunch it up, or you may accumulate too much heat and have a fire. It has to be spread out, one layer. I doubt that it will stand up to rough treatment, a lot of smashing or hard-flexing back and forth as you would to break a wire on purpose. Don't slam the car door on it or step on it. Don't let your dog chew it.I have an auto cigar lighter style socket attached to my chair into which I push the cigar lighter style plug. To turn it off, I just pull the plug out slightly, & to turn on, I push it hard into the socket.I used this in the annex to my home, sort of a den, with a concrete floor. When not using this blanket I would through it on the floor, which was hopefully relatively clean. However, I have found that this blanket loves hairs, mine and those of my two big dogs who spend some time with me in here each day. So the blanket is now loaded with hairs. It might be a delight for someone with trichotillomania or provide a safe outlet for this mania. So I have some hair-pulling /removal to do. Now you won't throw it on a hairy floor will you?

The RoadPro 58" travel blanket is a nice luxury riding in cold climates. The blanket is very soft and quite warm even when it is not plugged in. Once the blanket is turned on it provides a nice warmth throughout -without any noticeable hot spots. In general the blanket can provide warmth without feeling too "hot".Areas that we enjoy-- Soft fabric - not at all scratchy.- Relatively large- Works great!- Not too expensive- Easily plugs into your car's outlet- Takes about 5 minutes to achieve maximum warmth.Areas for improvement- While the blue fabric is a slip-cover it can not be removed. It would be great if it could be machine washed since the blanket will often exposed to snow/slush/salt from the your shoes.- One temperature - the heating elements are not adjustable- If you leave the travel blanket plugged in when the engine is off IT WILL DRAIN YOUR BATTERY! Be very careful, especially since car batteries are already less efficient in cold weather.- No plug in for home use - the travel blanket can only be plugged into a 12V DC plug. There are ways that you can get around this but they do not come standard with the travel blanket. Looking at the review it appears that there are many more negatives than positives, however the negatives are relatively minor. The final verdict is that it is soft and works very well to help keep you warm.4 1/2 starsBuy with confidence!

I saw some not so good reviews for this blanket, but compared to other 12 V blankets it seemed like the best choice, and I ended up being very happy with it!So my intended purpose was to use this with an Ecoflow River Pro power station when camping in the shell of my pickup or in a tent. The idea was to replace my propane heater with a safer option to keep my fiancé warmer when camping.We tried this for the first time and had it draped over our sleeping bag. In this setup it DID NOT do anything for us. It warmed up at first but because we were in a tent, the cold ambient temperature seemed to wick away the warmth before it could penetrate the sleeping bag. Also, it took my battery from 98% down to 68% (didn’t leave it on the whole night).Night 2, we put the blanket inside the sleeping bag but still on top of us (you’re not advised to lay on top of it). This time it worked GREAT. Provided a comfortable amount of warmth to us and kept the inside of the bag warm and cozy.There’s no temperature control, it’s either on or off, but it doesn’t get so hot that you feel the need to turn it down, so that wasn’t a deal breaker.My biggest complaint is that for being the largest size it is still quite small.

This blanket has literally been the difference between sleeping in our SUV or having to get a hotel room. We camp in cooler temperatures and it warms up quick and stays toasty warm all night. We have had it on all night and it hasn't killed our car battery yet.

Awesome warmed blanket.This is a fantastic blanket designed to provide a subtle but sufficient warmth from a mere 12v.I use it in my Campervan when the camper is hooked up to the mains and plug this into the 12v from the Leisure battery. Highly recommended. I prefer this to camper heating on all night unless it it very cold!If you own a campervan or motorhome with a high capacity gel leisure battery it will readily heat this for 3 nights.(A standard car battery will only run this blanket for about an hour before likely becoming too depleted to start the car, with the engine running it’s fine of course).

It is not bulky so great for use while motoring on our sail boat. If at anchor, I will plug it in briefly to warm up bed before I crawl in. This is especially useful while at anchor and briefly plugging it in will not drain house batteries. When we are motoring down a channel as no wind, and it is cold / wet outside, I will sit under the dodger with my blanket plugged into the 12 V system and I stay warm.

Works great to warm up bed on cold camping nights.

This blanket is perfect for my two year old on our cold winter mornings!I put it over her on her in the back seat to keep her little hands warm
