Product Description

Amazon.com

Here's another clever, innovative product from the people who brought you the inflatable airbed, the battery-powered fluorescent light, the cordless rechargeable spotlight, rotating carwash brush and the 12-volt cooler/warmer, among other things. This Car Cozy heated blanket is just the right size for two people, whether in the front or back seats. Its low-amp draw won't affect your vehicle's other features, but it's enough to toast up this fleecy blanket. It measures about 42 by 58 inches, and we can imagine how great it would be on a crisp night at the drive-in movies, on a nippy winter night, or even for the more frail passengers who can't tolerate air-conditioning when every one else is sizzling. A great idea.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Product Description

Great for cars, trucks, RVs and boats, cold morning starts and long hauls, this blanket offers both comfort and warmth whether plugged in or not. Its 42 X 58" size is large enough for two people and is perfect for warming one bench seat or two bucket seats at a time. It can also offer comfort to chilled passengers when the air conditioning is in use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for my specific needs, February 16, 2006

My boyfriend got me this blanket for Christmas because he was tired of either sweating or listening to me shiver every time we take a winter ride in the car. We own a small car and since he is bigger than me and usually driving, the heat seems to hit him much more directly. This resulted in a constant heat-up, heat-down battle that was only resolved with the purchase of this blanket. I didn't have any of the odor or fragility issues that some of the other reviewers did, so maybe I just got lucky but for now, we can leave the heat off or on low so that my boyfriend doesn't cook while I stay toasty warm underneath the blanket. Even though I have a fairly unique situation, this heated throw provided the perfect solution.

Blanket does not get warm enough to make it better than any good quality regular blanket. Also, It gave off an unpleasant odor, a fuel like smell.

I bought this for transporting a large musical instrument over long drives in the winter. So far it seems to have worked. My gripes so far are: 1. small. at least for the instrument. I got a second one, but for most folks using this for the "regular" reasons, it should be ok. A little larger would still be nice though. 2. the plug fell apart. I was able to reassemble it, but it shouldn't have twisted apart on the third use. 3. no temp control. It would be nice for the ability to set it on different temps, but this one heats to one temp only. It isn't too hot or anything, but sometimes I'd like to be able to regulate it more. 4. it heats quicker when it is folded up. When it isn't, it may take a long time.

Overall, it seems to be a good purchase. Time will tell and I may need to update this, but it is pretty good.
