18 models of water heating blankets, electric heating blankets, Oaks, etc. failed to meet the standards and posed safety risks

[House Secret News]The breath of spring is getting stronger, but in many areas, the temperature is still in single digits, so various heating devices are indispensable, such as the electric blanket and other similar products mentioned in this article. However, I would like to remind everyone that you should pay more attention to safety issues when purchasing and using such products. Recently, the Shanghai Consumer Protection Commission conducted a comparative test on 18 models of water-heated blankets and electric blankets, and found that three samples including Oaks did not meet the standards and had safety risks.

According to reports, traditional electric blankets rely on electric heating elements for heating, while water heating blankets rely on water circulation for heating. The latter are divided into pumpless and pumped types. Among them, the non-pump water heating blanket circulates hot water in the pipe through the action of heating wires to keep it warm. The pump water heating blanket has no heating wire inside, only plastic water pipes for water circulation.

Recently, the Shanghai Consumer Protection Committee purchased 6 traditional electric blankets, 6 non-pump water heating blankets and 6 pump water heating blankets for comparative testing. After testing, traditional electric blankets and non-pump water heating blankets were charged when working, and there was weak radiation within the safe range, which was far lower than the standard value. However, no radiation was detected in the pump water heating blanket containing only plastic water pipes; In terms of noise, traditional electric blankets and non-pump water heating blankets are almost noiseless when running, while pumped water heating blankets will be 2-3 decibels louder when running. In terms of portability, traditional electric blankets and non-pump water heating blankets are covered with heating wires because the blanket body is full of heating wires. , it should not be bent excessively during storage, and the pump water heating blanket supports folding during storage.

In terms of key heating performance, there are 12 sample blankets with a surface temperature difference of about 10°C. The overall performance of pump water heating blankets is better. In terms of cleaning performance, samples marked cleanable will not affect subsequent use after the cleaning test.

It is worth mentioning that among the test samples, the plumbing blankets had more problems with electrical safety. Three of the 18 samples did not meet the relevant national standards in the heat and flame resistance and thermal shock tests, and had certain electrical safety hazards, involving brands such as Oaks and Zhinuo.

The Shanghai Consumer Protection Commission finally pointed out that different types of electric blankets have their own characteristics: traditional electric blankets are simple to operate and affordable; pump-free water heating blankets will not aggravate air dryness and are affordable; pump water heating blankets are not electrified and have no radiation. , the “moisturizing” performance is better, the host is highly intelligent, but the price is relatively high.
