I'd not use an electric blanket far too dangerous unless low voltage then
thee wiring is too thick.

No reason why the wiring has to be any thicker.

And completely safe with an RCD anyway.

Tried to buy a new single electric blanket for granddaughter. Total
failure. It seems that all the current products have a life of 2 years
and have been afflicted with auto shut off after 10 hours and are low
temperature only. The customer ratings are 2* out of 5 and the customer
service seems to be non existent. I bought a couple of US superking
electric blankets a few years back and these were total crap in terms of
heat output and have been scrapped. I went back to the old monagram
blanket and added a panel in the middle to make it fit the bed. Maybe
Dyson can build a product that works. I won't hold my breath!
