Power levels

The number of power levels (adjustments) provided in the device.

The more levels provided in the design (with the same maximum power) — the more precisely you can adjust the heating to your preferences. On the other hand, the abundance of adjustments affects the complexity and price of the device, despite the fact that there is not always a need for this. So, for electric sheets (see "Type"), 2 – 3 modes are quite enough — intensive for preheating and one, less often two workers. On the other hand, the opposite situation occurs — 6 or even more power levels.

Fast heating

The presence of a fast heating mode in the device. In this mode, the heating element operates at increased power, thereby reducing the time required to reach operating temperature. After entering the mode, the heater power usually decreases automatically, but this point needs to be specified separately. Also note that auto switch-off of fast heating and auto-switch of power level are different functions, see below for the last.

Auto switch-off

The ability to automatically turn off the heater after a certain time.

Auto switch-off performs three main functions. Firstly, it provides safety: even if the user forgets to turn off the heating pad, it will not overheat and cause a fire. Secondly, the overheating of the user himself is thus prevented; this is especially convenient if the heating pad is used during sleep. Thirdly, auto switch-off allows you to avoid unnecessary power consumption.

Note that the response time and features of its adjustment may be different. So, in the simplest models, only one option is provided (for example, after 90 minutes), more advanced devices may have several time settings or even the ability to set it yourself within a certain range.

Washing

Washing method allowed for the product.

Modern heating pads can be designed for both manual and machine wash. Note that both of these terms are rather conditional. So, “manual” washing can be carried out both manually and in an activator-type machine (semi-automatic) and even in an automatic “washer” if it has a special manual/delicate washing programme. Machine washable items can also be washed by hand.

Note that both options may provide specific requirements for washing conditions — in particular, a temperature limit. Therefore, before washing the heating pad, you must carefully study the corresponding section of the instructions anyway.

Power consumption

Rated power consumed by the heater during operation.

Technically, other things being equal, a more powerful device will heat up faster and heat more greatly, but its energy consumption will also be higher. However, in fact, this parameter is of secondary importance: manufacturers select power in such a way as to provide the heating pad with the necessary performance. So paying attention to power makes sense mainly when comparing and only in cases where the differences are significant — for example, if one model consumes 100 W, and another of similar size only 60 W.
